Revelation Chapter 13

Just want to take a moment here before continuing. This chapter is not about bashing Catholics as many are Spiritually born again Christians so I ask that you please do not take it that way. Many will scoff and disagree with what I am about to present, but sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. This is about who the beast out of the sea and out of the earth are stemming back to the Babylonian Empire up to the present day revived Roman Empire and how they hide their deceptive agenda from the eyes of the world. I prayed hard about putting this out there because I wasn’t sure if I should or not and I feel God telling me it’s time so people will come out from her and have their eyes opened to the truth. This was given me by a friend of mine many years ago that was in the Jesuit Priesthood until God opened his eyes and brought Him out of it and has now gone forth to expose the deception.

Revelation 13:1-4

Satan is now furious and wants to devour the generational seed of Abraham in whom God made His covenant with in Genesis 12:1-3. John saw a beast (beast is often referred to as nations in scripture) rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns, (crowns denotes Kings) and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

The beast rises up out of the sea as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. This beast is the Jesuit Luciferians with their headquarters in the Church of Gesu in Rome that is in close proximity to the Vatican. The Pontifex Maximus (Pope) god king religious system is who Satan gives his seat and authority to. Rome had total control from 538 AD to 1798 which equals 1260 years that equal time, times and a half time as once again history will repeat itself in the annihilation of Gods anointed during the end of days.

The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire, Medo/Persian Empire, Grecian Empire and Roman Empire that I explained earlier in who the ten nations were. The ten horns represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when the deadly wound was put upon them, Daniel 7:23-25; Rev 13. The deadly wound came in 1798 when General Berthier of France captured Pope Pius VI, who soon died in captivity in Valence, on August 29, 1799. Seven of these nations are the ancestors of the modern nations of Europe.

These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (English), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa. The last three being Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals had already been destroyed by the Roman Empire before their deadly wound came in 1798.

What was, was Roman rule from 538 AD with Emperor Justinian’s decree and under the military protection of Belisarius until the deadly wound, was not, came in 1798 by General Berthier who made his entrance into Rome and abolished the Roman government and established a secular one. This was the time when Rome persecuted the Christians and killed them which were approximately 500 million people slain for the cause of their faith in Jesus. In 1801 Napoleon made an agreement with Pope Pius II establishing Napoleon’s Organic Articles of granting the Tribunal and the Corps legislative partial control of the concordat in order to help the state monitor any politically harmful Catholic or Protestant movements or activities. The wound was largely healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to the Pope and established it as a country in it’s own right in the Lateran Treaty.

What was and was not and yet to come has always been the Roman Empire that has always persecuted Gods chosen from the foundation of the world whose names is found written in the Lambs book of life. The beast out of the sea is the revived Roman Empire as its deadly wound is now healed as we see in John’s vision as Satan gives this beast his power, seat and great authority. They, being those whose names are not found written in the Lambs book of life bow down to Satan and the beast (Roman Catholic Pontifex Maximus universal religious system) as they are deceived in having no truth or understanding found in them as they are lead about like a bull with a ring in its nose as they bow down to the pagan authority of the Pope, Hosea 4:6, 7; 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

Revelation 13:5-10

The beast was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue for three and a half years which equals 1260 days, Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 11:2, 3. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them and power was given him over all kindred’s, and tongues, and nations as he (Pope) claims to have inherited the title Pontifex Maximus (Pontiff) directly from Babylon. Another title is Vicarius Filii Dei meaning in the place of God as he calls himself the Holy Father, Matthew 23:9.

Another side study is the study of Emperor Constantine defeating his rival Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD and proclaimed religious toleration for all to gain favor and acceptance with pagans and Christians in order to unite them with his new ecumenical religion whose sign or symbol was the cross, but only as a deceivable symbol. This dividing of the Eastern and Western Roman world by Constantine was foretold in Daniel Chapter 2 with the dream King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had and who the whore of Babylon is in the last days.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints as they wait upon the Lords return. They will have to wholeheartedly draw on the Lords strength without hindrance while enduring the last battle of Papal Rome’s persecution against them as Satan continues to try and silence the word of God using the present Satanic Jesuit Priesthood religious system, Matthew 24:9-13. Here we see history repeating itself like the Inquisition and annihilation of the saints of God between 538 AD and 1798 with its inhuman torture chambers and burning people alive because they had Bibles in their possession as they were now enlightened with truth and would not conform to the Roman Catholic Pontifex Maximus religious system anymore.

Let us not forget also the Crusaders from 1095 through 1291 who indiscriminately would wipe out whole villages in their path as they traveled toward Jerusalem, for their so called holy wars and the great annihilation of the Jews under Hitler’s reign from 1941 through 1945 killing over six million Jews and burning Bibles written in other languages so the Papacy could retain control teaching their heresies, 2 Peter 3:15-18. Papal Rome will continue to persecute those to death who will not conform to their idealistic heresies, but once they kill the body what more can they do, Luke 12:4, 5.

Revelation 13:11-18

Daniel 7:24, 25 and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, He will think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. The strength in Papal Rome is that of deceit and evil heresies that Satan works through to destroy everything that God has already established in His timing and Laws. Jesus upheld the laws demanding that the spirit as well as the legal aspects of the laws be observed. Jesus did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill the law, Matthew 5:17-20. The chief tendency of the priesthood was to keep the gospels away from people and keep them under Roman Catholicism doctrine as being the full authority as the rule of life and belief.

The Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church has desecrated the ten commandments of God by changing the Sabbath to the first day of the week in support of Luciferians sun worship. The Pope claims to have inherited the title Pontifex Maximus (Pontiff) directly from Babylon. Another title is Vicarius Filii Dei meaning in the place of God as he calls himself the Holy Father and the only one who can forgive sin, Matthew 23:9. Rome’s catechism leaves out Gods second commandment as they worship many idols making various gods unto themselves as they bow down and worship them.

The Priesthood, catechism, the seven sacraments, praying to Mary, the stages of the cross, idol worshiping and the list goes on are all atrocities to God as the Roman Catholic Church takes on the form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof and turn away from God having corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith, 2 Timothy 3:1-9. The Papacy leads many into captivity whose names are not found in the Lamb’s book of life as they have no truth or understanding of Gods word. The success of the Roman Empire over the last two thousand years will be its demise in the end of days when God destroys their power as He sends it to the lake of fire forever as God establishes His Kingdom here on earth.

Another beast comes up out of the earth that looks like a lamb (false Christ) with two horns. The two horns represent the Old Roman Empire Priesthood that received its deadly wound back in 1798 that caused them to scatter into the other ten nations (horns). The wound was healed in 1929 which has allowed the Jesuit Priesthood whom the Pope holds all power and authority over Papal Rome to make formal diplomatic relationships with many nations around the world as they prepare their tyranny against Gods anointed once again.

Here is the understanding of what this beast is all about that will make war against the saints of God and take them captive. The beast which is working on the New World Order is the Luciferians Roman Catholic system that will lead the saints of God into captivity just as their predecessor Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon did around 597 BCE when he seized Jerusalem killing many Jews and leading the rest of them into captivity, 2 Kings Chapter 24. Beginning with Daniel Chapter 2 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, right up through today, imperial kings, pharaohs and Roman Caesars were priest/god/kings that held the official office and title of Pontifex Maximus who commands worship from their subjects.

The Pontifex Maximus false religious system hates the worship of the true God as they bow down and worship their sun god Ra as seen in the hidden symbolism of the Catholic Church. This religious system hates true Christianity as the Pope claims the title of Holy Father and disguises his Jesuit order as being something holy calling themselves Christians or Romanized Catholic Christians in order to deceive the world. Satan has always given them their power, seat and great authority,Their secret agenda is that of taking total control of all institutions and resources globally for world domination as this was the intention of Ignatius Loyola a Spanish militant who was the founder of the Society of Jesus in 1534. In 1540 Pope Paul III gave approval for this society known as the Jesuit Priesthood today.

Their agenda includes total global control over political, military, economic, educational, religious and environmental systems for the deceptive purpose of ensuring global peace, prosperity and order during the timing of the seventh trumpet. Revelation 13:2, as his agenda has always been to deceive and sway others to fall away from the true God, 2Thessalonians 2:3, as we see in many false religions today that serve false gods.

The NWO is a combination of the Jesuit militant Priesthood (Papal Rome/beast little horn in Daniel 8:23-25) and the Pontifex Maximus Pope (false prophet/son of perdition). Another name for Pontifex Maximus is Vicarius Filii Dei’ meaning the vicar or substitute or agent of God. This is why the Pope is called the Holy Father as he takes the place of God here on earth which is an abomination to the Lord as he will be revealed as the son of perdition, John 17:12; 2Thessalonians 2:3. The first six trumpets are Gods chastisements on those who refuse to repent and turn back to His grace. The whole world will be thrown into total chaos and fear as everyone his brother will turn on each other if they have not the love of Christ in them as there will be little to no resources left for survival and man will do anything in order to survive. Many will be seeking a savior type in their time of distress an uncertainty as they will bow down to this false god Pope that will promise them provision and safety, but yet rejecting the true Savior Christ Jesus, 2 Chronicles 7:14.

The Jesuit Order is not a religious order, but in its own right a self governed military order as was the old Babylonian Roman Empire. They disguise themselves as a religious order under the heading of Roman Catholicism that call themselves Christians, but are actually a Luciferians Roman Catholic system who sends their blinded to truth missionaries out into the world causing a great falling away from the true God of all creation as they preach a different gospel, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4. Here is a list of past and present organizations and people you can research who have been and still are controlled by Jesuit Roman dictatorship and their secret plot of world domination as they annihilate anyone who will not conform and bow down to their false gods.

This is a partial list of what the Jesuit Militant Priesthood has controlled from their beginning in 1540: Inquisition, Crusaders, Knights Templar, Illuminati, high level Freemasonry, Jesuit infiltration of the English colonies on the North American continent, Banksters, Vatican Bank, Agenda 21 and 2030, World Trade Organization, Bilderbergers Club, Rothschild’s, Rockerfellows, Constantine, Hitler, Mussolini, Roman Catholic Ecumenical Assemblies (RCEA) and The Global Eucharistic Community (GEC).

The Jesuits have always secretly controlled the government of every nation from the time of Ignatius Loyola and his military background as the Pope gave approval for the Society of Jesus in 1540. The Jesuits of today call themselves “Gods Marines” and send their religious missionaries into all countries converting the people to Catholicism doctrine in order to control the world’s population through the hidden tyranny of their global government and religious false sun god Ra.

The Jesuit Provincials are the regional superior and take their orders from the Superior General Militant of the Jesuits known as the Black Pope (Black meaning evil not color) who controls all military forces on all seven continents. The Jesuit Provincials are located in 112 nations on every continent including America. Jesuits maintain, 70 secondary and primary schools, 50 Jesuit High Schools and 28 universities in the United States with Georgetown University being the first one established in Washington DC in 1789. There are ten Jesuit regional supervisors in the following States of California, Chicago-Detroit, Maryland, Missouri, New England, New Orleans, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin.

This is where America that is the beast that rises from the earth and will exercise all the power from the first beast comes in to play as Jesuit Rome and Jesuit America being her daughter are controlled by the governing militant Jesuits who were fully involved in the founding of the seat of Americas government in Washington DC using their Catholic Situates.

The beast that rises up out of the sea means rising to power out of multitudes of people or a sea of people as in nations. Another beast rising up out of the earth is the opposite of the sea of people as it means rising to power in an unpopulated area. This is why the Jesuit council chose America to bring their Catholicism Doctrine to the shores of America in 1611 as it was unclaimed wooded territory that would allow them the liberty and freedom without persecution to carry on their Catholicism Doctrines.

The French Jesuits were the first to arrive on American soil to explore the woodlands of Maine and celebrated the first known Mass at the mouth of the Kennebec River in 1611. Cecil Calvert who was the second Lord Baltimore of England followed after the death of his father George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore and purposed the founding of Maryland in 1634 to create a refuge for Roman Catholics who were still being persecuted in Protestant England. Maryland became known as a haven for Roman Catholics in the New World.

Cecil governed Maryland for forty-two years. In 1669 the surrounding land which is now Washington D.C. belonged to a man named Francis Pope who called the area Rome and its river inlet Tiber. There was a patent in Somerset, now Worcester Co., Maryland by the name Rome patented by a Pope. Francis Pope was the Justice of Peace of Charles County Maryland. America became known as the United States of America in 1776 by the Continental Congress.

On March 31, 1791 a few years before the papal government was abolished in Rome around 1798 and reestablished in 1929 George Washington, an Episcopalian and a 33 degree Freemason who was thought to convert to Catholicism, constituted the District of Columbia as the seat of the national government. He commissioned the design and building of the seat of government in Washington DC to Daniel Carroll of Duddington. Daniel’s father, John Carroll, was Catholic and one of the principal landed proprietors of the District. Mayor Charles Pierre L’Enfant, a French Catholic, was employed to furnish a layout of the city and to him the credit of its Luciferians symbolic Rome design is mainly due. James Hoban, a Catholic, won by competition the prize offered for a plan of the President’s house and the White House is constructed in accordance with the Roman Coliseum design.

The corner-stone was laid October 13, 1792 by George Washington whom also officiated at the laying of the corner-stone of the north wing of the Capitol on September 18, 1793. The site which the Capitol occupies was part of the land of Daniel Carroll and was a gift from him to in order to form the government housing of the United States government. Robert Brent, a Catholic and nephew of Bishop Carroll, was the first mayor who was annually reappointed by Presidents Jefferson and Madison until 1812.

Today the Vatican has formal diplomatic relations with all seven continents and their Jesuit Superiors including America. Each Jesuit Provincial has to take the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction when a Jesuit of the minor rank is to be elevated to command when he is conducted into the Chapel of the Convent of the Order. There are only three others present standing in front of the altar. On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of yellow or white, which are the Papal colors. The other a black banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with the letters INRI and below them the Latin words IUSTUM, NECAR, REGES, IMPIOUS meaning it is just to exterminate or annihilate impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or Rulers.

INRI are the initials for the Latin phrase “Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm”. In English reads Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews. The Roman Empire in the time of Pontius Pilate deemed Jesus as a heretic King over the Jews and this is why he ordered this plaque to be placed above the head of Jesus while hanging on the cross.

Pontius Pilate had this nailed above the head of Jesus when He was crucified on the cross, John 19:19, and we can still see INRI on Catholic crucifixes hanging in every Catholic Church.

Back to the Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction. Upon the floor is a red cross at which the candidate kneels. The Superior hands him a small black crucifix, which he takes in his left hand and presses to his heart, and the Superior at the same time presents to him a dagger, which he grasps by the blade and holds the point against his heart as the Superior still holding it by the hilt. The candidate then cuts himself enough to draw blood as part of the blood oath he is now ready to take. The Superior then addresses the elected candidate with the beginning of the oath.

Here is just a short snippet of the lengthy Jesuit Blood Oath as the candidate makes all allegiance to the Pope. The oath is given by the Superior Jesuit General of the Society of Jesus as it appears in the JESUIT Extreme Oath of Induction recorded in the Journals of the 62D Congress, 3d Session of the U.S. (House Calendar No. 397. Report No. 1523) Congressional Record House, 15 Feb. 1913, pp3215-3216:

I further more promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. You can find the full oath online.

Jesuits are not allowed to be Popes, but now we see the present Pope Francis being the first Jesuit Pope. The one called the “American Pope” is the Cardinal of New York and the most powerful Cardinal in America. He controls the Knights of Malta, high-level Freemasonry, and the Jesuit Order here in America through the government just as the Jesuit Order controls the government of Israel through the Mossad. The American Pope is the most powerful Cardinal in the United States and is called the military vicar. The military vicar is in command of all military orders within the United States. This is why Americas military forces have been involved in eighty six wars with the first one being the Revolutionary War in 1775 up to present day war on terrorism with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant known as ISIL or ISIS.

America’s military success rate is far superior to any other countries military as their success is that which is backed up by the Jesuit American Cardinal and will be greatly involved as a military police force when the Pope takes his seat in Jerusalem. This sheds more light on who was behind the militant of the Inquisition and Crusades and that drove men like Constantine, Hitler, Mussolini and Muslim extremist and many others to exterminate the Jews as the Jesuit militaries only goal is to annihilate all who profess the one and only true God of all creation.

The Luciferians Roman Catholic system is the beast that rises out of the sea who received their deadly wound back in 1798 by General Berthier of France, but have always continued in their secret planning of world domination. Their deadly wound was healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to the Pope and established it as a country in its own right in the Lateran Treaty. In 1929 Mussolini shaped the Vatican City after Jerusalem’s old city. The Dome of the rock and Saint Peters Square is located at the same spot on each cities map. If you look at the location of St. Peters Basilica in Rome and the Dome of the Rock, you see the copy made in Rome.

The Dome of the Rock and the Basilica in Rome, are even built in the same fashion. The seat of the last antichrist has reached its final stages after the implementation of the Oslo peace accord. This started with the formation of The Council of the Religious Institutions of the Holy Land in 2005. This council has Muslims, Jews, and Catholics and claimed to be Christians (by name only) in its governing body. When you read their statement of faith, you are introduced to the final One World Religious Government. In their statement of faith they try to tell us that all faiths lead to the same God.

Statement of faith:

As religious leaders of different faiths, who share the conviction in the one Creator, Lord of the Universe; we believe that the essence of religion is to worship God and respect the life and dignity of all human beings, regardless of religion, nationality and gender.

The Jesuits are preparing to set up their deceptive false Christ-like kingdom of God here on earth as their headquarters will move from Vatican City in Rome to the Dome of the Rock in the Holy city of Jerusalem as Satan proclaimed this in Isaiah 14:13. The Luciferians Roman Catholic system and their false prophet Pope will take control of not only the temple mount, but gather all nations together as one nation under their New World Order as the Pope takes his dictatorship seat on the throne of Gods temple declaring he is the true God and forcing the world to take the mark of this beast religious system.

There is much speculation and theories about what these sign, wonders, miracles and even fire that comes down from heaven will be as scripture does not define any particulars and one has to go even deeper to understand that which is being used by Satan such as the Jesuit New World Order and NASA Blue Beam Project that the Bilderberg Group is involved in. They will deceive many as they show great signs, wonders and miracles displayed in the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old. They will use three dimensional optical holograms, sounds and laser projection of multiple holographic images beamed off of satellites to different parts of the world.

The Blue Beam project deals with the religious aspect of the New World Order and is a large scale seduction that will lead many to bow down to the Luciferians New World Order as they flash images all over the world of Jesus coming in the clouds. In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Deuteronomy 5:5-23. Please research Project Blue Beam and HAARP for further understanding so you will not be taken as a thief in the night when Jesus comes for His prepared Bride.

Never underestimate the power Satan has to deceive the mind of those who lack knowledge and understanding of Gods word. Satan who is the father of lies who works through the Jesuits and the Pope as he is granted permission from God to deceive the nations as God sends strong delusions to those who have no truth found in them as they reject the preaching of Gods word that they should believe a lie, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12.

The Pope, Islamic Imams, Arab League and the Middle East Quartet that comprises the U.S., Russia, the EU, the United Nations and possibly China who wants in on the peace plans are working on an agreement of who will govern Jerusalem as a peacemaker between the Arab countries and Israel. When this is all accomplished Papal Rome will then have domination over all Jews/Gentiles as Papal Rome will be the official one world economic, political, military and religious governing system of a powerful worldwide dictatorship.

To make the peace plan between Israel and the Arab countries a reality the Liberal Zionists must also agree with this peace treaty. Only when the Liberal Zionists are willing to surrender then the Pope can preside over a new neutral administration with its power seat on the exact spot where God’s temple that was first built by Solomon and then rebuilt by Ezra was once located, but destroyed and stood vacant for a few centuries until the Muslims took control over the temple mount building the Dome of the Rock around 692 AD. The Christian Zionists and Religious Jewish Judaism is the only thing that holds back the last man of lawlessness (son of perdition) from taking his seat in Jerusalem.

Their secret mission will soon come to fruition in the last days before the great and terrible day of the Lord as we see during the seventh trumpet how this beast will deceive the world into taking its mark. The mark of the beast might be some barcode or micro chip one has to receive in order to buy or sell, but what is important is the thoughts of the mind and actions of the hands of what one will subject themselves to in order to survive as much of the worlds resources will be gone during the time of the first six trumpet chastisements of God as He warns people they need to repent.

Those who have no faith in the true God will reach out and bow down to this Luciferians Catholic System that promises peace and prosperity to all who will bow down and submit themselves as the mark they will receive is that of accepting the Catholicism doctrine of the Luciferians Roman Catholic Church making the Pope their god. Those who will not conform themselves and bow down to this system will be annihilated as many true Christians will either be imprisoned in the FEMA work camps around the world or die a martyr’s death as they refuse to denounce Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

What we are studying in Revelations Chapter 13 is the seventh or the last week of Daniels seventy week prophecy with the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, but not for the purpose to rebuild a third temple, but for Jerusalem to be turned back to Papal Rome once again. There will be a peace treaty signed between the Arab nations and Israel, but in the midst of the week the treaty will be broken, Daniel 9:26, 27; Luke 21:20-24; Romans 11:25; John 17:12; 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

There is much talk and misinterpretation about a third temple that has to be built before the return of Christ, but this is just another false theory that is being taught as the temple mount where the Dome of the Rock is sitting will never be given back to Israel in order to build another temple, Matthew 24:1, Acts 7:48, 49; 2; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Corinthians 3:16 as it will be given over to Papal Rome once again as Satan works through the Jesuit Priesthood as the Pope who Satan also works through will take his seat there on the sides of the north and will exalt himself as God, Isaiah 14:13.

The peace treaty is another deception of Satan as the Arab countries and Israel are being duped by Papal Rome into thinking there will be peace between these two nations, but what it all comes down to is the last week of Daniels seventh week as Papal Rome will move its headquarters from Rome back to Jerusalem, but this time will have world domination as they will cause others to bow down and worship their pagan gods.

Right now the Pope and Imams are working on an agreement of who will govern Jerusalem as a peacemaker between the Arab country and Israel. The Dome of the Rock that sits on the original temple mount in Jerusalem will never be given back to Israel as it is being renovated inside to look like the throne room at St. Peters Basilica in Rome for the purpose of the Papal throne (actual throne the Pope sits on) to be transferred there from Rome. The throne will be set up to face southward towards Mecca or rather the revered Kaaba (spellings vary) that is the central shrine in Mecca’s Great Mosque, which is Islam’s holiest place they face to when they pray.

The reason why the throne has to be placed facing southward is the Muslims have to face north from Jerusalem when they pray in the Mosque in order to keep a straight line to the Kaaba or else their prayers will not be heard. The Muslims will be allowed to share the Dome of the Rock, but will also be facing the Pope as they pray as the sanctuary is being remolded to look like the replica in Rome. This will allow Muslims and Catholics to pray together in the same place forming what is called Chrislam, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. In the Catholic religion the Pope is infallible when he sits on his Papal throne or chair in questions about moral and true understanding of the scripture.

The mark of the beast will cause a great falling away of many of the saints of God as they believed a lie that they would be caught up to Christ before the seven trumpets of God’s great wrath being poured out into the world that will cause great tribulations. When the son of perdition takes his literal seat in Jerusalem he will demand allegiance of the people throughout every nation on every continent as he deceive the nations showing he is God by using lying signs and wonders, promising peace, safety and provision to all who will bow down and worship him, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

IMO, I believe this mark is that of the thoughts of the mind and the actions of the hands as many will believe he is God and will reach out and accept him as God.

Gal 6:17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Gal 6:18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. To the Galatians written from Rome.

Our Hope For The New Year And Beyond

“Our Hope For The New Year And Beyond”

Psalm 33:20-22 NLT

We put our hope in the Lord.  He is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.  Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.

I have found myself in the past months starting off statement with “I sure hope________________” and then I fill in the blank with whatever thought I have at that time.  I have been hoping for a lot of things as I’m sure many or most of you have as well.  Through our years of life, we hope for many things in different ways. 

This past year, 2020, we have all probably hoped for things we had never thought about before.  With all the chaos and uncertainty, we have found ourselves hoping in different ways and maybe hoping for different things than we have hoped for in the past.  Just take a few moments and think back to the different things you have hoped for this past year.  Think of all that has gone on and all that has happened in your family, at work, at church and other places.  Take some time to think on what you have hoped for that you hadn’t really thought about in the past until now.

Many of us have probably had hopes shattered in some ways and then found ourselves grasping for some kind of relief and assurance that things will get better.  We have all been affected in so many ways this year by all the pandemic chaos and we are hoping and praying that things will get better very soon.

I’m learning each new day that instead of hoping in things of this world, as I so often do, I instead need to hope always in God.  I need to put my hope and trust solely in Him because He knows the future and knows what is best for myself and my family.  I’m learning little by little to hope more in Him and not in what the world offers or tries to offer.  I have been so grateful for the ways God has been providing for us this year in many different ways with the pandemic, but I need to remember that those things we have been blessed with are not and in themselves.  God is always the provider and I need to put all my hope and trust in Him.

Perhaps we need to shift our thinking of hope for the New Year and start putting much more hope in God instead of the things of this world.  When things seem bleak, God is still going to provide in some way and He always does.  We need to look into the New Year and be reminded of all the wonderful ways He has provided and still will continue to provide.  

He is our True Hope for the New Year and beyond!

Revelation Chapter 12

Revelation 12:1-6

John is shown a great sign in heaven as he sees a vision of a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet. The sun is representative of the glory and brilliance of Gods righteousness that surrounds her and protects her. Under her feet the moon which is illustrative of eternity, light, Gods faithfulness in His Son Jesus who is the greater light of the gospel age as Jesus being the light of the world that shines in darkness, but the darkness can not comprehend the light, Psalms 72:5-7; Isaiah 2:3-5; Jeremiah 31:35-37; Isaiah 30:26-33; John 1:1-5.

The woman is symbolic of Israel and the congregation of Gods people as she wears a crown of twelve stars which represents the twelve tribes of Israel that have repented of their arrogance as they felt they deserved Gods favor, but yet kept killing the prophets God sent to them, including the very Messiah they were waiting for. This is when the times of the Gentiles began as God went to them to take Himself a people that were humbled enough to receive salvation as God had mercy on them, Matthew 23:37-39; Acts 15:14; Romans 11:25-27.

Paul also warned the Gentiles against being lifted up in pride because they had been favored by God with salvation as he explained the blindness of Israel would not last forever as when they see the Gentiles now having favor in the Lord and being grafted into the branch of Israel they repent of their sin and turn back to God being once again found in His favor, Romans Chapter 11.

The true congregation of God can be symbolized here as a mother that has all here children gathered in one place for safety which in this case is under the wings of the almighty God, Psalms 91. She cries out like a woman in labor as the pain of her persecutions has become too great to bear as she waits to be delivered from her persecutors, 2 Timothy 4:18; 2 Peter 2:9; Colossians 1:13.

The other sign John saw was a great red dragon meaning Satan. Remember, this is a vision and a sign as Satan has not yet been thrown out of heaven yet. The description of the dragon being great and red depicts its nature and character as being fierce and murderous, John 8:44. This red dragon is depicted as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8. The last kingdom which stands greater than all the others is that of a revived Roman Empire that takes control over all the ten nations who then implements a deceiving peace treaty to a world that is in great distress. Below is that of the seven kingdoms described as four beasts in Daniel 7:1-8 and the three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn, which is the Roman Empire.

The three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:24 are the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths who were eliminated by the year 538 AD under the leadership of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian whose deadly wound came in 1798. The wound was largely healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to the Pope and established it as a country in it’s own right in the Lateran Treaty. Today the Vatican has formal diplomatic relations with almost every country in the world. We will study this more in Chapter 13.

Seven remaining nations that still exist today:

Babylonian Empire:

(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon.

Medo – Persian Empire:

(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.

Grecian Empire:

(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander, the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.

Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)

Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.

The crowns on its heads show that this dragon claims royal authority against the true King who is God of all creation as he prepares to take his seat above all that which is Gods Kingdom claiming he is God as he prepares to deceive the world through that of an existing Roman Empire, Daniel 8:9-12; Isaiah 14:12-15.

These angels that Satan cast down to earth are a third part of Gods holy angels that have made their allegiance to Satan as he uses them to work through the lust of others here on earth. The spiritual kingdom of Satan and his demon angels is the spiritual realm below the Spiritual realm where God and His angels dwell. Satan is called the prince of the power of the air as being the ruler of the kingdom of the air, Ephesians 2:2-6; 6:12. He has access to the heavenly realm of God, but only through Gods permission as he stands before God accusing the brethren, Zechariah 3:1, Job 1:6, 7; Revelation 12:10. Satan has access to God and also spiritually walks to and fro on earth as he works through others to deceive the nations, Job 1:7. This is how he was allowed to tempt Job and tried to deceive Jesus, Matthew 4:1.

These angels are used of Satan to speak heresies against God as Satan uses them to control the thoughts and minds of those with a lustful heart. Hebrews 13:2 says not to be forgetful to entertain strangers as some are angels unaware to them. Satan also uses his angels unaware to people to deceive them with a twisted word and false religions that lead into idol worshiping as these idols become their gods.

Israel, being the seed of Abraham and the Gentile being grafted into the seed, have always been persecuted by the Roman Empire that Satan works through. By their hands Satan tried to devour the Christ child using Herod to kill all those children from birth to two years old, Matthew Chapter 2. Satan tried again through that of the Roman Empire to do away with Jesus by crucifying Him to death, but God caught Him up to sit at His right hand and will live forever, 1 Corinthians 15:55, 56.

From 1798 until 1929 the Roman Empire was abolished for a time as a secular government was set up that allowed the freedom of the Gospel to be preached and published in print so now it was an opened display for all to read and hear. The Roman Empire was revived again in 1929 as these angels unaware to man crept in with Satan’s twisted word and continued idol worshiping that has deceived many into a false teaching of the word of God, which in scripture is called the falling away, 2Thessalonians 2:3.

The woman here represents the true congregation of God that flees to the wilderness for 1290 days just as Jesus forewarned her to do so in Matthew 24:15, 16. Jesus said when you see the abomination that causes desolation stand in the holy place Jesus is speaking about the son of perdition (the beast out of the earth, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Rev 13) taking a literal seat in Jerusalem on the very Temple Mount of God where the Dome of the Rock presently stands.

The abomination will be that of a New World Order with a singular governmental power that controls all economic, political, military, educational and religious authority that takes its seat in Jerusalem, Isaiah 14:12, 13; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. This new government is a Global power giving false hope to the entire world as even the very elect of God will be deceived if possible, Matthew 24:24. The four horsemen in chapter 6 represent the false Christ, global wars, famine, sickness and disease that is brought on by mans sinful nature as they refuse to repent and turn back to God as they are lovers of self and their heart is full of pride and lust.

The scenario of the first six trumpets as Gods wrath is poured out into the world is that now the nations are in total chaos and left with little to no resources for sustaining life. Many are sick and dying from disease as there are no provisions to make medicine. Unemployment is at its all time lowest that causes many to lose everything they own. Governments collapse as civil wars and rioting break out as one covets that of what another has as they give no regard for the law and will take away what others possess just to survive. Marshal Law will come prevalent in all nations to control the people. Here in America do a study on Marshal Law and FEMA camps as it is an eye opener many people are not aware of.

The world cries out for a savior but rejects the one already given to them as they fall prey to that which comes under Satan’s control that is even secretly working in the world today. Jesus warned us to flee into the mountains/wilderness from this abomination and not to enter in and be yoked with the darkness as there is no communion with light and darkness, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. This will be the greatest time of faith as we rely on God to supply our need and avoid the temptations that are set before us, 1 Peter 5:8.

Revelation 12:7-12

Satan and his unholy angels are now cast out of heaven forever and cast down to the earth. He is full of wrath as he has no more access to heaven where he stood before the Lord accusing the brethren while Jesus made intercession for them, Romans 8:34. Now is come salvation, strength and the kingdom of our Lord and the power of His Christ as we have overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony as we love not our lives unto death.

Now that Satan has been cast down to earth he is furious as he knows his time is short and he is going to do everything in his own power to silence and destroy the anointed of God as he works through those who have bowed down to him. Salvation brings with its Gods power and authority that gives us the strength to stand against Satan. Strength refreshes us to stand and not be weary, to walk and not give up. We rely on Gods strength to help us through every obstacle that stands in our way. Satan has always tried to fight against us and wear the flesh down, but our strength comes by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit living in us, Isaiah 40:31; Matthew 26:41.

We have been instructed of God to not conform to the world, but to be transformed in the renewing of our mind, Romans 12:2.

Those who have picked up their cross to follow Jesus, Matthew 16:24-28, need not worry that Satan is now out for blood as he will succeed in killing many saints as they die a martyr’s death like those saints before them as they loved not their own life, but have life eternal with the Father. Satan used Emperor Justinian who had around five hundred million Christians killed during his reign and used Paul before his conversion to slaughter the Christians as they both did this in the name of God, 2 Timothy 3:5.

Revelation 12:13-17

War begins on earth as prophesied by in Daniel 12:1-3. The woman (Jew and Gentile as the Gentile is grafted into that vine that is Jesus) goes into her place in the wilderness as she is given two eagle wings, Exodus 19:4, where she is nourished for three and a half years or 1260 days, Daniel 7:25; Daniel 12:7; Revelation 11:1-3.

Her place means to stand in the holy place, which is our strength and faith that is Christ whom we call upon in our time of need as we pray for courage and fortitude to stand against Satan especially now that he has been cast out of heaven and placed here on earth. Satan is now ready to persecute the woman to death and she is told to flee from the temptation that is about to take place as many will renounce Jesus at this time as they truly do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

Satan cast water out of his mouth (water is a metaphor for word as in John 3:5) as a flood or powerful words sent forth to persecute the woman to death, but the earth, the Spirit of the Lord, Isaiah 59:19, set up a standard against Satan that he saw no fear in them. This greatly angered Satan as he went out to destroy the remnant of her seed meaning all who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior all over the world.

Up to this point in Revelation we have seen the woman as only being Israel under the covenant of promise of eternal life with the father. The outer court given to the Gentile as they will trample it and bring back the sacrifices, but not the sacrifice that is for sin as they are under the cloud of darkness as they are ruled by Satan unaware. We have seen a standard set up against Satan that he saw no fear in the house of Israel as they have always kept Gods commandments and the testimony of Christ as they and their generations after them were sent out to preach to the Jew only, Matthew 10:6, that have been scattered all over the world.

Satan is enraged with anger against Israel now because he found no fear in them and now seeks to destroy her remnant which are those Gentiles that Paul was instructed to go out and preach to, Acts 22:21. Daniel had no insight of a Gentile nation turning to God so this is why only Israel is mentioned, but now it has become Israel and those Gentiles grafted into her branch that makes up the whole body of Christ.

Revelation Chapter 12

Revelation 12:1-6

John is shown a great sign in heaven as he sees a vision of a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet. The sun is representative of the glory and brilliance of Gods righteousness that surrounds her and protects her. Under her feet the moon which is illustrative of eternity, light, Gods faithfulness in His Son Jesus who is the greater light of the gospel age as Jesus being the light of the world that shines in darkness, but the darkness can not comprehend the light, Psalms 72:5-7; Isaiah 2:3-5; Jeremiah 31:35-37; Isaiah 30:26-33; John 1:1-5.

The woman is symbolic of Israel and the congregation of Gods people as she wears a crown of twelve stars which represents the twelve tribes of Israel that have repented of their arrogance as they felt they deserved Gods favor, but yet kept killing the prophets God sent to them, including the very Messiah they were waiting for. This is when the times of the Gentiles began as God went to them to take Himself a people that were humbled enough to receive salvation as God had mercy on them, Matthew 23:37-39; Acts 15:14; Romans 11:25-27.

Paul also warned the Gentiles against being lifted up in pride because they had been favored by God with salvation as he explained the blindness of Israel would not last forever as when they see the Gentiles now having favor in the Lord and being grafted into the branch of Israel they repent of their sin and turn back to God being once again found in His favor, Romans Chapter 11.

The true congregation of God can be symbolized here as a mother that has all here children gathered in one place for safety which in this case is under the wings of the almighty God, Psalms 91. She cries out like a woman in labor as the pain of her persecutions has become too great to bear as she waits to be delivered from her persecutors, 2 Timothy 4:18; 2 Peter 2:9; Colossians 1:13.

The other sign John saw was a great red dragon meaning Satan. Remember, this is a vision and a sign as Satan has not yet been thrown out of heaven yet. The description of the dragon being great and red depicts its nature and character as being fierce and murderous, John 8:44. This red dragon is depicted as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8. The last kingdom which stands greater than all the others is that of a revived Roman Empire that takes control over all the ten nations who then implements a deceiving peace treaty to a world that is in great distress. Below is that of the seven kingdoms described as four beasts in Daniel 7:1-8 and the three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn, which is the Roman Empire.

The three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:24 are the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths who were eliminated by the year 538 AD under the leadership of the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian whose deadly wound came in 1798. The wound was largely healed in 1929 when Mussolini gave the Vatican back to the Pope and established it as a country in it’s own right in the Lateran Treaty. Today the Vatican has formal diplomatic relations with almost every country in the world. We will study this more in Chapter 13.

Seven remaining nations that still exist today:

Babylonian Empire:

(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon.

Medo – Persian Empire:

(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.

Grecian Empire:

(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander, the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.

Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)

Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.

The crowns on its heads show that this dragon claims royal authority against the true King who is God of all creation as he prepares to take his seat above all that which is Gods Kingdom claiming he is God as he prepares to deceive the world through that of an existing Roman Empire, Daniel 8:9-12; Isaiah 14:12-15.

These angels that Satan cast down to earth are a third part of Gods holy angels that have made their allegiance to Satan as he uses them to work through the lust of others here on earth. The spiritual kingdom of Satan and his demon angels is the spiritual realm below the Spiritual realm where God and His angels dwell. Satan is called the prince of the power of the air as being the ruler of the kingdom of the air, Ephesians 2:2-6; 6:12. He has access to the heavenly realm of God, but only through Gods permission as he stands before God accusing the brethren, Zechariah 3:1, Job 1:6, 7; Revelation 12:10. Satan has access to God and also spiritually walks to and fro on earth as he works through others to deceive the nations, Job 1:7. This is how he was allowed to tempt Job and tried to deceive Jesus, Matthew 4:1.

These angels are used of Satan to speak heresies against God as Satan uses them to control the thoughts and minds of those with a lustful heart. Hebrews 13:2 says not to be forgetful to entertain strangers as some are angels unaware to them. Satan also uses his angels unaware to people to deceive them with a twisted word and false religions that lead into idol worshiping as these idols become their gods.

Israel, being the seed of Abraham and the Gentile being grafted into the seed, have always been persecuted by the Roman Empire that Satan works through. By their hands Satan tried to devour the Christ child using Herod to kill all those children from birth to two years old, Matthew Chapter 2. Satan tried again through that of the Roman Empire to do away with Jesus by crucifying Him to death, but God caught Him up to sit at His right hand and will live forever, 1 Corinthians 15:55, 56.

From 1798 until 1929 the Roman Empire was abolished for a time as a secular government was set up that allowed the freedom of the Gospel to be preached and published in print so now it was an opened display for all to read and hear. The Roman Empire was revived again in 1929 as these angels unaware to man crept in with Satan’s twisted word and continued idol worshiping that has deceived many into a false teaching of the word of God, which in scripture is called the falling away, 2Thessalonians 2:3.

The woman here represents the true congregation of God that flees to the wilderness for 1290 days just as Jesus forewarned her to do so in Matthew 24:15, 16. Jesus said when you see the abomination that causes desolation stand in the holy place Jesus is speaking about the son of perdition (the beast out of the earth, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Rev 13) taking a literal seat in Jerusalem on the very Temple Mount of God where the Dome of the Rock presently stands.

The abomination will be that of a New World Order with a singular governmental power that controls all economic, political, military, educational and religious authority that takes its seat in Jerusalem, Isaiah 14:12, 13; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. This new government is a Global power giving false hope to the entire world as even the very elect of God will be deceived if possible, Matthew 24:24. The four horsemen in chapter 6 represent the false Christ, global wars, famine, sickness and disease that is brought on by mans sinful nature as they refuse to repent and turn back to God as they are lovers of self and their heart is full of pride and lust.

The scenario of the first six trumpets as Gods wrath is poured out into the world is that now the nations are in total chaos and left with little to no resources for sustaining life. Many are sick and dying from disease as there are no provisions to make medicine. Unemployment is at its all time lowest that causes many to lose everything they own. Governments collapse as civil wars and rioting break out as one covets that of what another has as they give no regard for the law and will take away what others possess just to survive. Marshal Law will come prevalent in all nations to control the people. Here in America do a study on Marshal Law and FEMA camps as it is an eye opener many people are not aware of.

The world cries out for a savior but rejects the one already given to them as they fall prey to that which comes under Satan’s control that is even secretly working in the world today. Jesus warned us to flee into the mountains/wilderness from this abomination and not to enter in and be yoked with the darkness as there is no communion with light and darkness, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. This will be the greatest time of faith as we rely on God to supply our need and avoid the temptations that are set before us, 1 Peter 5:8.

Revelation 12:7-12

Satan and his unholy angels are now cast out of heaven forever and cast down to the earth. He is full of wrath as he has no more access to heaven where he stood before the Lord accusing the brethren while Jesus made intercession for them, Romans 8:34. Now is come salvation, strength and the kingdom of our Lord and the power of His Christ as we have overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony as we love not our lives unto death.

Now that Satan has been cast down to earth he is furious as he knows his time is short and he is going to do everything in his own power to silence and destroy the anointed of God as he works through those who have bowed down to him. Salvation brings with its Gods power and authority that gives us the strength to stand against Satan. Strength refreshes us to stand and not be weary, to walk and not give up. We rely on Gods strength to help us through every obstacle that stands in our way. Satan has always tried to fight against us and wear the flesh down, but our strength comes by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit living in us, Isaiah 40:31; Matthew 26:41.

We have been instructed of God to not conform to the world, but to be transformed in the renewing of our mind, Romans 12:2.

Those who have picked up their cross to follow Jesus, Matthew 16:24-28, need not worry that Satan is now out for blood as he will succeed in killing many saints as they die a martyr’s death like those saints before them as they loved not their own life, but have life eternal with the Father. Satan used Emperor Justinian who had around five hundred million Christians killed during his reign and used Paul before his conversion to slaughter the Christians as they both did this in the name of God, 2 Timothy 3:5.

Revelation 12:13-17

War begins on earth as prophesied by in Daniel 12:1-3. The woman (Jew and Gentile as the Gentile is grafted into that vine that is Jesus) goes into her place in the wilderness as she is given two eagle wings, Exodus 19:4, where she is nourished for three and a half years or 1260 days, Daniel 7:25; Daniel 12:7; Revelation 11:1-3.

Her place means to stand in the holy place, which is our strength and faith that is Christ whom we call upon in our time of need as we pray for courage and fortitude to stand against Satan especially now that he has been cast out of heaven and placed here on earth. Satan is now ready to persecute the woman to death and she is told to flee from the temptation that is about to take place as many will renounce Jesus at this time as they truly do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

Satan cast water out of his mouth (water is a metaphor for word as in John 3:5) as a flood or powerful words sent forth to persecute the woman to death, but the earth, the Spirit of the Lord, Isaiah 59:19, set up a standard against Satan that he saw no fear in them. This greatly angered Satan as he went out to destroy the remnant of her seed meaning all who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior all over the world.

Up to this point in Revelation we have seen the woman as only being Israel under the covenant of promise of eternal life with the father. The outer court given to the Gentile as they will trample it and bring back the sacrifices, but not the sacrifice that is for sin as they are under the cloud of darkness as they are ruled by Satan unaware. We have seen a standard set up against Satan that he saw no fear in the house of Israel as they have always kept Gods commandments and the testimony of Christ as they and their generations after them were sent out to preach to the Jew only, Matthew 10:6, that have been scattered all over the world.

Satan is enraged with anger against Israel now because he found no fear in them and now seeks to destroy her remnant which are those Gentiles that Paul was instructed to go out and preach to, Acts 22:21. Daniel had no insight of a Gentile nation turning to God so this is why only Israel is mentioned, but now it has become Israel and those Gentiles grafted into her branch that makes up the whole body of Christ.

Revelation Chapter 11

Revelation 11:1-2

This temple is not a literal temple that John is to measure as there never will be a third one built as the temple mount will never be given back to the Jews and here is the reason why. Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times all because Israel never repented of their sin of idolatry when they were allowed back into their land again in 538 BC after their seventy year Babylonian exile and the land fell under the leader of the Roman Empire that still has diplomatic ties with Jerusalem today.

When the second temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans other Roman temples were built there and destroyed during various revolts up to the fourth century. From the fourth century the temple mount laid undeveloped until the Muslim Siege of Jerusalem in 637 CE. Between 689-691 CE the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock which stands today, but now under renovations that have to do with the prophecy of the son of perdition in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 and the great falling away before the return of Jesus.

John was to measure the Spiritual temple of God as being those who are truly in Christ through the Spiritual rebirth that worship Him in all truths, John 3:3-7, which make up the temple of God as being the body of Christ. The symbolic here represents God separating and protecting His people. The temple of God is no longer made by hand since the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom, Matthew 27:50, 51; Acts 7:48-51. The temple of God is within man that has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that keeps himself undefiled before the Lord, Matthew 27:51; Mark 7:15-23; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17.

The outer court represents that of the control the Gentiles (Revived Roman Empire) will once again have over the Holy city like that of 70AD as they take full control over Jerusalem and trampled it for 3 ½ years at the sounding of the seventh trumpet as we will see history repeat itself. Matthew 24:21 Jesus said this will be the worst tribulation there has ever been nor will ever be again.

During this time once again the Roman Empire will take control of the temple mount in Jerusalem as a New World Order is even now being set up that will be one single world government of economic, political and religious power. They will bring back the sacrifices in the last part of the three and a half years or at the end of Daniels seventy week vision in Daniel chapter 9.

This sacrifice they make is not the sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, but will be a sacrifice in that of persecuting Christians to death as they refuse to bow down to this Nebuchadnezzar type system. It’s like that of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel Chapter 3 as they refused to bow down and worship the idols of Baal and God rescued them from the fire. The fulfillment of the times of the Gentile is that of the Gentiles that will not repent as they fulfill the prophecy of the beast and the false prophet that are thrown into the lake of fire with Satan at Gods final judgment.

Daniels first half of the 70 weeks:

First Advent of Messiah:

From rebuilding the Temple to Messiah birth. This was Ezra rebuilding the literal Temple, but also prophetic of the Spiritual Temple making it ready for Messiah to return.

Daniels sixty nine weeks are four hundred and eighty three Solar years (Daniel 9:25). Seven weeks of years was forty nine years rebuilding Jerusalem around 457B.C. (Ezra 7:11-26; 9:9). Sixty two weeks of years was the period of time leading up to Messiah the Prince in the beginning of his ministry in 27A.D. up to the crucifixion in 31A.D, (Daniel 9:26). From the cross to the second advent of Messiah’s return was a prophetic gap being the present Church age (Gentiles) which was a mystery not revealed to Daniel, Ephesians 3:4-10.

Daniel’s second half of the 70th week:

The second advent of Messiah is from the time of Christ ministry to the cross. There are seven Lunar years of great tribulations as described in Daniel 7:13, 14; 9:26, 27;

12:1 and the outline of Matthew Chapter 24. A peace treaty between Israel and the one who is to come (son of perdition) will fall in the last week of Daniels seventy weeks.

This is just a small summary that explains the temple and the holy city. It’s an in-depth study that is very relevant to the end times before Christ returns.

Daniel gives six major events that characterize the four hundred ninety years.

1. To finish the transgression – Israel’s rejection of Messiah (Jesus) as Israel is brought to restoration at the time of the second coming.

2. To put an end to sin – The sins of National Israel will not be forgiven until the deliver comes out of Zion and a new covenant is given to them.

3. Made reconciliation for iniquity – Life, death an Resurrection we are now reconciled through the blood of Christ as the final sacrifice

4. To bring in everlasting righteousness – This is when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to the earth and set up His kingdom.

5. Seal up the vision and prophecy – This will be the time when all prophecy is fulfilled and the Lord Jesus Christ will be Lord of Lord and King of Kings.

6. Anoint the Most Holy – The Lord Jesus Christ will be anointed when the temple is cleansed at the end of the 2520 days when He returns.

Daniel 8:14 and he said unto me, unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. This is the full 70 weeks which end with the return of Christ when the kingdoms of this world will finally be the kingdoms of our Lord, Revelation 11:14, 15. (Notice the second woe is past and all events that take place during the seventh trumpet come quickly)

Revelation 11:3-4

Zechariah 4:1-6; 4:11-14 explains that these two witnesses are the word of God in all power and might and the Holy Spirit which is the oil that is poured out on those who God anoints with His Holy Spirit. There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that are one and three that bear witness in earth as being the Holy Spirit, the word and the blood of Jesus and these three agree in one, 1 John 5:7, 8. Only God can give power to act on His word as the Holy Spirit and Jesus bare witness to Gods power and authority especially through signs and wonders.

God exercises His power and authority through those of His great commission of Matthew 28:18-20 who are sealed by the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 1:22, who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. The sackcloth represents the anguish of Gods servants as they remain humbled before the Lord while baring witness to Gods wrath on the unrighteous as these witnesses go forth continuing to preach to the nations.

Zechariah speaks of two olive trees, but only one candlestick in the Old Testament. In this study we read there are two candlesticks. The two olive trees are the two anointed ones as being the two witnesses that are the Holy Spirit whom discerns and confirms the word of God in us by teaching us all truths, John 14:26, and Jesus being the light that shines in darkness as being the word made flesh to walk amongst us, John 1:1-5.

John is given the understanding that the two witnesses are in comparison to the two candlesticks and two olive trees, which if you read Zechariah Chapter 4 it explains that the golden candlestick is God. The seven lamps with the seven pipes that holds the oil (anointing) is that of the seven Spirits of God given to His Church: wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, reverence, might and Spirit of the Lord, Isaiah 11:2.

The two olive trees are to groups of people. One group being natural Israel (Old Testament) as a remnant according to the election of grace have been saved as in the 144,000 taken from the twelve tribes of Israel that remained faithful to God up to a thousand generations thereafter that remain faithful, 1 Chronicles 16:13-17. The other being Gentiles (New Testament) grafted into the branch by that same grace of God that have been washed in the blood of the Lamb and sealed by His Holy Spirit, John 3:3-7; Romans 10:9, 10; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Romans Chapter 11. The two witnesses have always been those who have stood by God and His law in the Old Testament and those who stand by God and Jesus under the dispensation of grace in the New Testament. Jews were only sent to preach to the lost sheep of Israel and Paul was sent to preach to the Gentiles, Matthew 10:5-7; Acts 22:21, so will it be during the seventh trumpet sounding.

There is a theory that the two witnesses could either be Moses, Elijah or Enoch, but scripture disputes this theory. Deuteronomy 34:5, 6 says Moses died in the land of Moab. Elijah was carried away in a whirlwind as described in 2 Kings 2:11 and lifted up to the first heaven meaning the firmament as in the atmosphere that surrounds the earth. He was only translated to an unknown area on earth as several years after he was taken away King Jehoram received a letter from him, 2 Chronicles 21:12. Paul says Enoch died in faith just as Abel, Noah, Abraham and their wives, Hebrews 11:5, 6, 13, but had not yet received the promise of eternal life as they also sleep in the grave until the coming of the Lord 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Hebrews 11:13 Paul said Enoch was only translated and never said he was taken to heaven and lived to be around three hundred and sixty five.

In John 3:13 Jesus said that no one has ever ascended up to heaven so this proves that the two witnesses are not Moses, Elijah or Enoch. God said in Malachi 4:5 He would send Elijah (Elias) before the great and terrible day of the Lord. John the Baptist is a type of Elijah as a forerunner for Jesus, John 1:15-17, just as Jesus was speaking about John the Baptist in Matthew 17:12 those who carry the witness and testimony of Jesus throughout the nations from the time of the cross to that of the great and terrible day of the Lord are also types of Elijah. The two witnesses are the word of God and the Holy Spirit that confirms His word

Revelation 11:5-6

God says in 1 Chronicles 16:22 to not touch His anointed or else His wrath will fall against their enemies like we see in many scriptures throughout the Old Testament as nations came against the anointed of Israel. God will allow His anointed servants to call down fire from heaven to kill the enemy during the time of the seven trumpets like Elijah did in 2 Kings 1:10, but also forbade James and John in Luke 9:54 for they were not yet anointed with the Holy Spirit and it was not Gods will that this should be done at this particular time.

If any man comes against Gods witnesses during His final wrath on earth God gives them their authority to call down fire from heaven to literally consume those who try to kill them for their purpose of God is not finished yet as the time of the Gentiles has not been fulfilled yet, Romans 11:17-25. This same authority includes them to ask God to stop the rain from falling, to turn water into blood and to call on God to bring plagues against those who come against them when God sees fit for the purpose of protecting His witnesses during this time as their purpose of witnessing is not yet final, 1 Kings 17:1; Exodus 7:17-21; Exodus 8:1; 11:10.

God gives the power unto his two witnesses as being that power of the Holy Spirit in Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; 2:1-21. The early Church (body of Christ) walked in great power of the Holy Spirit working in them and through them as the anointing of the Holy Spirit empowered them, but the empowerment has become less and less as the Church has either become lukewarm in what they preach as a feel good message, but leaves the spirit empty inside or have compromised the anointing they once had and have sold out to the pleasures of the world quenching the Holy Spirit they were once empowered with as they allow a Jezebel spirit preach from their pulpits.

Joel 2:28-32 speaks about a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the latter days before the great and terrible day of the Lord. God will revive a Spiritual revival in the end of days as He would that none should perish as He works through the Church (body of Christ) who has the witness and testimony of Jesus. During the time of these witnesses that go about preaching in all nations many will see the Spirit of God moving through the land in a great Spiritual awaking of the Church. It never occurs to some people how much they need to repent of their sin until reality sets in as God starts shaking not only the earth, but the heavens also as He sends His final wrath down on earth, Hebrews 12:25-29.

The vessel of gold and silver are those of Jew and Gentile that have always stood by God as they walk in great faith no matter how this world tries to come against them, Hosea 6:1-4; Joel 2:28-32; Haggai 2:7-9; Zechariah 10:1.

Revelation 11:7-10

We have to remember when studying anything in the Bible that scripture speaks mainly about Israel and her enemies coming against her as many other nations had not existed yet when all these letters were written. We who are Gentile are also part of Israel being grafted in as a branch. Focus has always been on Jerusalem being the Holy City of God no matter how many times this city has been taken captive by the enemy. The preaching of the Gospel will be finished when the true Church of God being Jew and Gentile that are anointed by God to preach amongst the people all over the world sees Jerusalem being encompassed by the enemy as the Gentiles will take its final siege in Jerusalem trampling the city for the last time.

Jew and Gentile alike as being one body of Christ are always given signs from God to look out for the coming of the Lord even though none knows the day or hour this will occur, Matthew 24:33-37. One very important sign is to keep a watchful eye on events that will unfold in Jerusalem, especially what happens to the temple mount as this is the abomination of desolations Daniel spoke of and Jesus gave warning to flee from. When you see the son of perdition, meaning the man of sin or the lawless one taking his seat on the throne in Jerusalem claiming he is God then the sign of the return of Christ is very near.

The beast that overcomes and kills the two witnesses will be revealed in Chapter Thirteen, but for now I will just say it is a corrupt political power much like the one who had Jesus crucified and thought they had silenced Him forever. These witnesses lie dead in the street of the great city which means many nations outside that gate of Gods Holy sanctuary being symbolic of the actual gate Jesus was outside of in Jerusalem as He was lead up the hill to Golgotha were He suffered and died, Hebrews 13:12, and God had raised Him again on the third day, Matthew 28:1-8.

These great cities are spiritually compared to Sodom and Egypt and exist in every nation around the world who are found guilty of Idolatry, Exodus 20:1-8; Roman 1:18-25. Idolatry is nothing more than blind adoration for the thoughts of the mind and the intents of the heart that draws one away from God as they bow down to and worship the materialistic things of the word like we see today in the love of money and power over others that is the root of all evil, 1 Timothy 6:9-11.

These great cities full of idolatry and adultery are the type of nations and people that still exist today even until the end of days. They have backslidden away from God as they have fallen short of His glory defiling themselves before the Father, Jeremiah 3:1-25, but yet God calls them to repentance. God has always sent these nations a witness, but they continue to persecute and put them to death just like Israel as they persecuted and put to death the very Messiah that was sent to them.

The witnesses that are spoken of in Revelation 11 will also suffer and die as they have picked up their cross to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and deny their own self for the witness and testimony of Jesus, John 15:13; Matthew 16:24-28, 10:28; 24:9. They like those who died a martyr’s death before them will be killed by the hands of those who will persecute them to death in order to silence the torment of their preaching. Unlike those before them these witnesses will lay in the street of every nation around the world as no one has compassion on them to bury their bodies. Instead they will make fun of them and rejoice that they are dead as they will no longer be troubled by them.

Revelation 11:11-13

Many saw these dead bodies lie in the street, but none would bother burial for them, but rejoiced instead that they would no longer be tormented by their preaching. This is also seen in Papal Rome rule around 538 AD with Emperor Justinian’s decree and under the military protection of Belisarius and the beast until the deadly wound came in 1798 by General Berthier who made his entrance into Rome and abolished the papal government and established a secular one. There were approximately 500 million Christians killed during Emperor Justinian’s reign. Revelation chapter 13 will see this deadly wound healed once again.

After three and a half days it’s not the witnesses being taken up to heaven in a cloud here as we will see later when this great event takes place. What is going back to heaven is Gods power and authority that gives His servants the anointing to the preaching of His word that returns back to Him, Isaiah 55:11. The time of the Gentiles will be fulfilled at this time as the time of preaching is ended and that the kingdoms of this world are soon to be made the Kingdoms of the Lord once again.

The Church has life again as God has breathed life back into her and she once again stands on her feet grounded in all faith and trust in the Lord as she prepares to flee the soon coming abomination that causes the final desolation on earth. Their enemies beheld the strengthening of Gods Church once again as they have been completely strengthened throughout the nations, Isaiah 26:13-21; 27:13; Ezekiel 37:1-14. The enemy fears loss of control over these people in all nations that the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of their Lord unless they silence the Church once again as they did in the past and continue to do so until the great and terrible day of the Lord.

The earthquake represents Gods final shaking or judgment on man as many more will fall as now Gods Church has come out of exile meaning that of a Jezebel false teaching that has lead them captive for years. The final remnant of those who walked in blindness of truth being taken over by this Jezebel spirit have become afraid as they have finally seen truth and repent of their sin and come back to God and give Him glory.

Revelation 11:14

Notice this verse says the third woe comes quickly. The seventh trumpet is the announcement that all the kingdoms of the world will come under Jesus authority, but there is much more to come first before He returns as in the war in heaven, the mark of the beast and then the harvest judgment when at that time Jesus returns in the clouds to gather His Bride, 1 Corinthians 15:50-55; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, and reserves them until the final judgments are completed, the earth is purified and then God ushers down the New Jerusalem where we will be with the Lord forever.

The first four seals are the beginning of sorrows described in Matthew 24:4-26 before that of Christ return. There are three woes to come after the beginning of sorrows. The first woe is found in Chapter 8-9 with the first six trumpets. The second woe is that of the two witnesses in Chapter 11:1-14 as the preaching of Gods word has come to an end as the time of the Gentiles has been fulfilled in the last person repenting and turning back to God. The third woe begins with the seventh trumpet in 11:15 and it comes quickly.

Revelation 11:15-17

Here we see much rejoicing in heaven for the time is now that the mystery of God will be finished as he declared this to the prophets, Revelation 10:7. God will make an end to all sinful abominations here on earth against His people as His mighty power will reign as now the blood of the martyred saints will be avenged. God is about to destroy the enemy for eternity and all the kingdoms or nations of the world will now have become the Kingdoms and nations of God and no man will ever be able to take them out of Gods hands again, John 10:27, 28. The time of Gods longsuffering in His patience for those who need to repent, 2 Peter 3:9, has now come to an end and all glory and honor is given to His name.

Revelation 11:18-19

The nations are angry because of Gods wrath that torments them day and night as it is a mystery to those Pharisee types that think themselves pious as they follow false religions and beliefs, even making themselves gods and have caused others to stray away from truth. All they see is Gods chastisements, but neglect seeing the warning of them to repent. The ignorance of these people is what will cause them to perish as they stand before God in judgment, Hosea 4:6, 7.

The reward unto the servants of God is that of being delivered from all the persecutions against them, those alive and asleep in the grave as when the temple is opened in heaven the ark of the covenant is seen as this is Gods covenant promise of His blessings to those who have been faithful to Him as being part of the covenant God made with Abraham and every generation after him, Genesis 12:1-3. The covenant promise is now to be fulfilled in that all Gods faithful children will have eternal life with Him as He completes the final purification of heaven and earth in order to usher down the New Jerusalem where we will be with the Lord forever.

Lightning is a strong force of power as in Gods power in heaven. The thunder is the voice of Gods power when He speaks. When God speaks even the earth quakes at His voice. The great hail is that of Gods seventh vial judgment that is about to be made on those who refuse to repent and the weight of each hail stone is the weight of a talent which is around 75 pounds each, Revelation 16:21.

Genesis 12:1-3 (LEB)

Thus says Adonai, “By this you will know that I am Adonai. Look, I am about to strike with the staff that is in my hand the water that is in the Nile, and it will be changed to blood.17Thus says Adonai, “By this you will know that I am Adonai. Look, I am about to strike with the staff that is in my hand the water that is in the Nile, and it will be changed to blood.18And the fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink water from the Nile.”’”18And the fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will be unable to drink water from the Nile.”’”19And Adonai said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch your hand out over the waters of Egypt and over their rivers, over their canals, and over their pools and over all of their reservoirs of water, so that they become blood,’ and blood will be in all the land of Egypt and in vessels of wood and of stone.”19And Adonai said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch your hand out over the waters of Egypt and over their rivers, over their canals, and over their pools and over all of their reservoirs of water, so that they become blood,’ and blood will be in all the land of Egypt and in vessels of wood and of stone.”20And Moses and Aaron did so, as Adonai had commanded, and he raised the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all of the water that was in the Nile was changed to blood.20And Moses and Aaron did so, as Adonai had commanded, and he raised the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants, and all of the water that was in the Nile was changed to blood.21And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, and the Egyptians were not able to drink water from the Nile, and the blood was in all the land of Egypt.21And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, and the Egyptians were not able to drink water from the Nile, and the blood was in all the land of Egypt.

Revelation Chapter 10

Revelation 10:1-3

This angel represents the glory of the Lord and His government above the firmament. The bow is the same one seen in Genesis 9:13; Ezekiel 1:28 of Gods covenant He made between Him and the earth. The sun and fire represents the Glory of God in His brilliance and great power. The seven thunders are the voice of God saying He will judge the ends of the earth and give strength to his anointed people and enlarge His anointing upon them as they have the seven spirits of God upon them, Isaiah 11:2.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit will be even greater during the time of the seventh trumpet on those who are sealed by Gods Holy Spirit as by then much of the world will have lost most of its food and fresh water resources. Many will face unemployment losing everything they owned. Those on earth that have not Gods seal on them will be rioting in the streets looting and killing each other to take away what another might have left to live on. Chaos will run rampant through the streets until Marshall Law will come into effect to maintain order.

Gods anointed children that continue in the witness and testimony of the Lord will draw even closer to their faith that is Christ Jesus as they will also face many trials and temptations. They will endure much persecution, 2 Timothy 3:12; Matthew 24:13, even to death by the hands of the enemies against God that will also include their own family members that have not repented, Matthew 10:34-39; Mark 13:12; Luke 12:53, as they are lovers of self, 2 Timothy 3:1-7 and have no regard for anyone. God said not to fear that which man can do to us, but fear or in other words respect God who is able to destroy both soul and body of those of who refuse to repent, Matthew 10:28.

The time of Gods final wrath within the seven trumpets sounding will be a time of the worst tribulation the entire world has ever known or will ever see again, Matthew 24:21. Those who are Spiritually born from above are protected from Gods wrath falling on them as they have Gods seal on them and God will take care of their needs as He always has in the past, Philippians 4:19. They will though have a hard time having to watch so much overwhelming devastation fall before their eyes as they watch all of Gods chastisements falling on the earth and mankind. It will be particularly hard to watch their own family members that have not repented and turn back to God as they are consumed with the rest of mankind.

This will be a time of greater faith then any other time in ones life as in forsaking all to follow Jesus taking no care for even yourself what you should wear or eat, Matthew 6:24, 25; Matthew 19:29, as our only concern needs to be taking Gods word into all the nations as then will the end of days be finished and Jesus will at that time on the last day return for His Bride who is the true Church of God, Matthew 24:14; John 6:40.

Revelation10:4-6

John was not allowed to write down what the seven thunders voiced as it was not yet due time to reveal this mystery of God until the seventh angel sounds his trumpet then the mystery of God will be finished.

Many more will be added unto God before the return of Jesus as it will take God shaking the earth in order for some to finally open their eyes and repent as they come back to His mercy and grace. The little book is that of all things yet to come as God is not done shaking the earth yet and when all things are finished then there will be great rejoicing in heaven as all glory will then be given to God Psalms 29:1-10; Revelation 21:6, 7.

Revelation 10:7-11

The seventh angel is the one with the seventh trumpet and when he sounds the mystery of God or in other words all things of these revelations that are written in the little book will be finished as Jesus already told the Disciples in the outline of Matthew 24 that from Revelation Chapter 8:6 – 11:14 are the first three and a half years of this seven year tribulation period and the last three and a half will start in Revelation 11:15 with the beginning of the seventh trumpet sound.

John is now told to take the little book from the angels hand and eat it. It was sweet in his mouth as in the glory of the Lord that will soon come for His Bride as they have received the promise of Gods blessings for obedience and have eternal life with the Father, Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Romans 6:23. After eating the book it was bitter in the belly as those who reject Jesus and repent not of their sin will face Gods final wrath poured out on them as they cling onto their devil worshiping giving honor and glory to their idols made of hands that are gods before them, Leviticus 26:1-46; Deuteronomy 27:11-26; 28:15-19.

We need to preach in boldness of truth and teach others as the Holy Spirit teaches us, John 14:26. The spirit of Jezebel runs rampant throughout the land spreading lies from the pulpit that seem pleasing to the ears as many would rather believe their Pastor instead of searching and Spiritually discern what they are being taught, Matthew 7: 21-23, John 3-3-7; Acts 19:1-6; Romans 10:9, 10; 1 John 4:1-6.

Genesis 9:13 (LEB)

My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.13My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.
