Revelation

January 5, 2021 by for_his_glory

Revelation Chapter 16

The third and final woe is about to begin as the seven angels have been made ready to pour out the last seven vial judgments or as some use the word bowl judgments of Gods fierce anger against those who have blasphemed His name and refuse to repent before the return of Christ.

The seven trumpet judgments are to make man realize through the witness and testimony of the gospel that is being preached to them during this time of Gods wrath they need to repent and come back to Gods grace and their dependence on God as He would that none should perish, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Chronicles 7:14.

The seven vial judgments are the righteousness of Gods judgment on those who refuse to repent. They have taken the mark of the beast and follow after the image of the beast as they bow down to their false doctrines and gods denying and blaspheming the sovereign God of all creation as their hearts have been hardened, Hebrews 3:15. They have made their choice to drink the wine as they take from the cup of Gods final wrath even though they have been warned to repent.

Revelation 16:1-2

These judgments are severely painful and grievous as they afflict the flesh of men who refuse to repent and acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior. They choose to go after other gods and believe the lies that Satan preaches out of the mouth of the false prophet. Those who are sealed by the Holy Spirit and are in hiding or held captive in detention camps at this time, (look up apfn.org), like the Jews in the time of Nebuchadnezzar or Hitler’s holocaust, will not be touched by any of the seven trumpet or vial judgments as they are protected by God.

The sores are described as noisome and grievous that means annoying and troublesome. These sores could possibly be that of boils that causes inflammatory swelling and open puss filled skin infections covering ones body in great pain like we read in Exodus 9:10, 11 and Job 2:7.

Revelation 16:3-7

Before we get into the second and third vial judgments I feel it is important to see the synopsis that is involved with them as these vial judgments are different then the first six trumpet judgments that only affected a third part of man and the worlds environment as now is come the time of full global judgment right before the return of Christ.

There are five oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Southern and Indian. There are one hundred and thirteen seas altogether if you include the three landlocked ones. The Atlantic Ocean connects to forty, the Arctic connects to seventeen, the Pacific connects to thirty three, the Southern Ocean connects to eleven, the Indian Ocean connects to nine and there are three landlocked seas being The Dead Sea, Caspian Sea and Aral Sea although these could be classed as salt lakes.

Then we have rivers and fresh water creeks we get our filtered drinking water from. Without fresh water man dehydrates and dies, but this will not affect those who are in Christ as God supplies all our need even when it comes to fresh drinking water like that of Moses who God instructed to strike the rock and fresh water came out of it, Exodus 17:6. Let us now continue with the second vial judgment.

The sea became as the blood of a dead man. The sea does not turn into actual blood as in Revelation 8:8, 9 as this verse says as, emphasis on as, like the blood of a dead man. When one dies their blood coagulates meaning the blood turns into a semisolid or a solid mass as the heart is no longer pumping the blood through the body and the lack of oxygen causes the tissues and cells to die making the blood become a solid or semisolid in time.

God causes the water of the sea to become thick like the blood of a dead man. This possibly could come from and increase of algae called microorganism dinoflagellates that is already growing in the sea that causes a reddish thick substance. God in His supernatural powers could increase the algae on a massive scale. This will cause a lack of oxygen and food source that is vital for all sea life to exist as it will poison the water causing all sea life to die. The stench from the water and rotting carcasses of sea creatures would be tremendously unbearable and also shut down the fishing industry and also the trade industry as merchant ships will no longer be able to travel port to port by sea.

The third angel follows suit as he pours out his vial and all rivers and fountains of water that are our fresh water ecosystems are also turned to this thick form of blood like substance. The angel of the waters proclaims that the Lord is righteous in His judgments against those who have slaughtered the saints and prophets from the very beginning when Cain killed his own brother Able.

Those who have killed the saints and prophets of God are worthy to drink putrid waters of Gods righteous indignation as they deserve nothing better for what they have done against the saints and prophets of God as God has forewarned man to not touch His anointed, 1 Chronicles 16:22; Psalms 105:15.

Revelation 16:8-9

God gives the fourth angel all power to unleash the full extent of the heat of the sun that man will be burned by its immense heat, but yet many refuse to repent. The suns surface is approximately 9,800 degrees Fahrenheit. The suns core is around 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. When a person is exposed to the sun unprotected from its UV rays they usually receive very severe and painful sunburn and use various methods of soothing the heat and pain.

Now imagine the heat of the sun being more intense as the ozone layer could be virtually nonexistence at this time of the fourth plague. The UV rays from the sun would literally burn the skin causing deterioration of the skin which in turn would cause great pain and infection of the skin. There would be no resources left to soothe the heat and pain of this magnitude one would receive on their body. Instead of men being remorseful of their sin and repent of it they in turn blasphemy the name of God for the great pain that have been inflicted on them.

During the timing of the first trumpet judgment up to the fourth vial judgment we have read about the horrendous environmental, physical and psychological devastation befalling unrepented man. The gospel of grace has been preached to unbelievers throughout all these judgments, but yet many refuse to repent. God sends an angel out to the nations with the everlasting gospel as a last chance warning to repent and not take the mark of the beast and again many refuse to repent.

Marshall law would be prevalent at this time throughout the nations as this time they are led by a one world government of the Luciferians New World Order and many who lack spiritual knowledge are seduced and drawn into what the beast and the false prophet is offering as he promises peace for all who will take its mark and bow down to their gods.

Those who have taken the mark of the beast will see those who are held captive and are sealed by the Holy Spirit being physically unharmed from these horrendous vial judgments falling on them. Instead of questioning and understanding why they are safe those of unbelief in the true God of all creation would rather blasphemy the name of God as they are in excruciating pain and angered as they have been deceived by the Luciferians Roman Catholic religious system.

Revelation 16:10-11

The seat of the beast is Papal authority that sits in the temple in Jerusalem. This was explained in Revelation chapter 13. His kingdom is worldwide as Satan is the dragon that works through the beast that is the Jesuit Vatican and the Pope who is the false prophet that deceives those who lack spiritual knowledge. Many believe the lies coming out of the mouth of the beast as he controls the kingdoms of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2.

The 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church recognizes God as the source of truth, but declares the church or in other words the Pope infallible for interpretation of the Scriptures. This goes against what is said in 2 Timothy2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

The darkness of evil is the seat of the beast with its end of day’s worldly headquarters of the Luciferians New World Order that vacates its seat in Rome and takes over the temple mount in Jerusalem, Isaiah 14:13. The beast and false prophet that has blinded those from truth and have persecuted and killed many of the saints and prophets of God will be rewarded in Gods righteous indignation.

The fifth angel fills the actual headquarters of the beast and his kingdom here on earth with blinding thick darkness as God exposes this false religion and false prophet for who they truly are as being those used of Satan. People have been duped into believing this economic, political and religious system would bring peace and provision to its people who chose to take its mark and bow down to their gods, Proverbs 24:19, 20; Isaiah 3:11; 60:2; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

Man will gnaw their tongues for the pain they are in as they realize they have been deceived by the false teachings and false promises, 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Instead of repenting and turning to God they choose to curse the name of God as they are in great pain from the sores and the scorching of the sun that has been inflicted on them as they blame God instead of realizing the warnings God gave them to repent and turn back to His grace.

Revelation 16:12-16

The Euphrates River stretches approximately 1800 miles beginning in Turkey flowing down through Syria and Iraq where the great walled city of Babylon once stood before it was destroyed by God and never inhabited again, Isaiah chapter 45; Jeremiah chapters 50, 51; Daniel chapter 5.

This great river separates the land mass between Israel and all the eastern countries and ends in Kuwait City at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. The Euphrates receives most of its water in the form of rainfall, melting snow and a few tributaries along the way.

God spoke of the latter days that he would dry up the Nile River and the Euphrates River to prepare a highway for the scattered tribes of Judah to return back to Jerusalem, Isaiah 11:11-16; 27:12, 13; Jeremiah 50:4, 5. The kings of the east, 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; 5:10, are the faithful Jewish remnant of God’s people that He will gather back to Israel as they reclaim the inheritance of all the land from the Nile River to the Euphrates River that was promised to Abraham and his seed.

They are the faithful Jewish remnant of the house of Judah whom from the time of the Babylonian captivity in 586 B.C. and the Egyptian captivity of Judah in 609 B.C. have stayed in the same lands they became accustom to, but now God will deliver them back to their own land as they are joined together once again with the house of Israel, Ezekiel 37:22. This takes place when Jesus returns as we will study this in Chapter 19.

(cross-reference for the remnant of God: Genesis 15:18; Isaiah 11:11, 12; Isaiah 27:12,13; 35; 43:1-7; 52:1-10; Jeremiah 3:18; 16:14,15; Joel 3:2-7; and Zechariah 10:9-11; 2 Kings 23:29-37, 2 Chronicles 35:20-27)

The three unclean spirits are spirits of demons that proceed out of the mouth of Satan who gives power and authority to his unholy trinity that is Satan, the Jesuits (beast) and the Pope who is the false prophet who speaks lies and teaches a twisted word of God that deceives the nations. These three spirits of demons send out wondrous signs to the political leaders (kings) of the earth and throughout all the nations as the signs are that of the monumental greatness of this modern day tower of Babel with its seat in Jerusalem as they make a name for themselves setting themselves above all that is God’s, Genesis 11:1-9; Isaiah 14:12-14.

It was through vanity and pride that the tower of Babel was being built and as God made an end to that so will He also make an end to this Luciferians New World Order as the whole world is gathered to the great battle of God almighty as Satan gathers them to a place called Armageddon. Jesus said we need to keep watch as He will come as a thief in the night to those who have no relationship with Him. We will study more about this battle in Chapter 19, but first let’s understand what Armageddon means.

Armageddon is not a literal place you can locate on a map, but is symbolic of many areas north of Israel where the great battles of the Old Testament were fought. Armageddon derives from the Hebrew word Har-mageddon which means the Hill of Megiddo which is found in the Carmel mountains. Megiddo is mentioned in the Old Testament as the site where Joshua conquered one of the thirty one Canaanite kings, Joshua 12:21. Deborah and Barak defeated the army of Sisera in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, Judges 5:19. Megiddo is the ancient city that was formerly a Canaanite stronghold. The city was occupied by the Israelites under King Solomon who reconstructed the city as one of his storage cities, 1 Kings 9:15-19.

Megiddo is on the east of the Plain of Esdraelon opposite the Jezreel Valley in the Carmel Mountains. The land has three passes that form together as a “Y” making a strategic land route going south towards Jerusalem. We studied how the seas will be impassable at this point and the only option will be traveling by land as all nations will be gathered together for the battle of God almighty. Megiddo is the key for understanding the meaning of the Hebrew word Har-mageddon or the hill of Megiddo which is called Armageddon in scripture.

Joel calls this the valley of decision as multitudes of people are gathered there, Joel 3:14. This is why Jesus says to be watchful as He will come as a thief in the night to those who have no Spiritual relationship with Him. There are an estimated seven billion people living in the world today with only a small percentage of them being truly Spiritually born-again so this gathering can not take place in one specific area found in the Carmel mountains as this gathering is that of one like mind.

The multitudes and multitudes are those of every nation who have no knowledge of the true Christ and have been deceived by the beast and the false prophet taking its mark. Revelation 1:7 says every eye will see Jesus coming in the clouds. This means everyone all around the world simultaneously will see Jesus coming in the clouds with His mighty army.

Many will set out to rebel and fight against Jesus, but not realizing the battle of God almighty is not that of any military enforcement using weaponry of mass destruction, but is that of Jesus coming to make an end to all the abominations that have caused desolations in this world casting it into the lake of fire for all eternity. Jesus will purify this present earth and the atmosphere (first heaven) above us renewing that which was corrupt in order for God to usher down the New Jerusalem then we will be with the Lord forever.

Throughout all the ages the battles have always been that of Satan’s rebellion against God as he works through those who lack true knowledge of Gods word, Hosea 4:6, 7, and are lovers of self, 2 Timothy 3:2, 4. Satan claimed in Isaiah 14:14 he would be like God and also sit on the mount of the congregation as he takes his seat on the sides of the north.

This has already happened when Israel lost control of the holy city of Jerusalem and it’s government back in 70 AD and continued when the Muslims seized control of Jerusalem in 637 AD that will soon be given over to the papacy of the Vatican in Rome as the Luciferians One World Government and religious system will move their headquarters from Vatican City in Rome to the Dome of the Rock that sits on the original temple mount in Jerusalem. When this is accomplished then will be the greatest battle the world has ever seen and never to be seen again.

God’s word has taken us from the covenant promises He has made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel to a literal nation of Israel that has walked according to the flesh, 1 Corinthians 10:18; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Jeremiah 3:1-25, to a spiritual Israel of God from every kindred, tongue and nation, Jew and Gentile who are centered in Christ Jesus throughout the world, Galatians 3:26-29; 6:14-16. Israel, according to the flesh, has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times throughout the ages because they disobeyed God and lost that spiritual relationship with Him.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

This has been the whole purpose of Gods wrath on those of disobedience. His longsuffering and patience is His perfect timing that none should perish as His covenant promises are the same today as in the day He made them with Noah, Abraham, Isaac and David. God wants all to come to repentance before the door of salvation is closed forever when Jesus returns, 2 Peter 3:9. Religion can not save you nor the traditional doctrines of man teach you all truths as it is by grace only through faith that is Christ Jesus can we come to God with a repentant heart, John 3:3-7; Romans 10:9, 10; Ephesians 2:8, and learn all truths by His Holy Spirit, John 14:26, 1 John 2:27.

From the sounding of the first trumpet to that of the seventh trumpet sounding the kingdoms of the world will have become the kingdoms of God and His son Jesus as God is in control of all things that will come about including the timing of Jesus second coming.

The horrendous devastations brought on by God during the seven trumpet judgments and the last seven vial judgments are not brought about by God using any military forces with nuclear wars of mass destruction. God being sovereign and omnipotent only needs to speak those things into existence during the timing and purpose of His great wrath in order to accomplish that which His word is sent forth to do as God’s word never returns back to Him void, Isaiah 55:11.

Hail, fire, stars falling from heaven, earthquakes, and waters becoming blood-like up to the sun scorching man is all literal and not symbolic as you read all things come from heaven above and has nothing to do with any earthly military force or nuclear wars.

Revelation 16:17-21

The voice out of the temple in heaven that comes from the throne is God proclaiming “It is done”, meaning the days of Jacobs trouble is about to come to an end. God is about to greatly shake the nations causing them to fall in preparation for the purity of the earth to begin and also for His people to be given back what was taken from them, Jeremiah 30:1-11; Haggai 2:4-9. Voices, thunders and lightnings are that of Gods mighty power as He unleashes the greatest earthquake the world has ever known or seen before this time.

This earthquake is not a localized one as we see them today, but is worldwide in so great a strength that will literally shake all the fault lines around the world in every nation and under the sea. This massive earthquake will cause the plates in the earth to shift causing much of the land mass to disappear. Islands will be swept away from the tsunamis the earthquakes will cause under the seas. Mountains that stood majestic will be leveled. God will then rain hail stones down on those of disobedience with each stone being the weight of a talent, which equals around seventy-five pounds each. This is Gods final attempt to bring mankind back to Him, but instead of repenting they curse God instead.

The great city is Jerusalem and will be divided into three parts. Two parts consist of the papacy whose seat is in Jerusalem at this time and all those who have taken its mark. They have cut themselves off from God and will be destroyed. The third part are those Israelites living in Jerusalem who have not taken the mark of the beast, but will be brought through the refiners fire and made pure again before the Lord as they call upon His name and they will be His people and He will be their God, Zechariah 13:8, 9; Jeremiah 9:7; 50:4, 5; Ezekiel 20:33-38, as the covenant promise God gave to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3; 15:18 will be fulfilled.

Genesis 12:1-3 (LEB)

The Call of AbramAnd Adonai said to Abram, “Go out from your land and from your relatives, and from the house of your father, to the land that I will show you.2And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great. And you will be a blessing.3And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse. And all families of the earth will be blessed in you.”

Genesis 11:1-9 (LEB)

The Tower of BabelNowOr “And” the whole earth had one language and the same words.2And as people migratedOr “set out” from the east they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.3And they said to each other,“each to his companion” “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.”“burn to burning” And they had brick for stone and they had tar for mortar.4And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top reaches to the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”5ThenOr “And” Adonai came down to see the city and the tower that humankind“sons of Adam” or “sons of humankind” was building.6And Adonai said, “Behold, they are one people with one language,“one people and one language to all of them” and this is only the beginning of what they will do.“and this they begin to do” SoOr “And” now nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.7Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language.”“each the language of his companion”8So Adonai scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.9Therefore its name was called Babel, for there Adonai confused the language of the whole earth, and there Adonai scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

He had also killed the Canaanites who were living in the city and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.17Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Lower Beth-Horon,18as well as Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land;19and he also built all of the storage cities which were Solomon’s, the cities for the chariots, the cities for the cavalry, and all of Solomon’s desire that he wantedOr “desired” to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.

In his days, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet him, and heThat is, Neco killed him at Megiddo as soon as he saw him.30So his servants drove him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, and they brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.31Jehoahaz Reigns in JudahJehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.32He did evil in the eyes of Adonai according to all his ancestorsOr “fathers” had done.33Then Pharaoh Neco confined him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and imposed a levy on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.34Jehoiakim Replaces JehoahazThen Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of Josiah his father, and he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.35The silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh; however, he taxed the land to give the silver to meet the demands of Pharaoh.“on the hunger of Pharaoh” Each according to assessment, he exacted payment of the silver and the gold from the people of the land to give to Pharaoh Neco.36Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebudah,According to the reading tradition (Qere); Kethib reads “Zebidah” the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.37He did evil in the eyes of Adonai according to all that his ancestorsOr “fathers” had done.

The Death of JosiahAfter all of this that Josiah had prepared for the temple,Or “house” Neco the king of Egypt went up to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went up to meet him.21And heThat is, Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is there between us,“What to me and to you” O king of Judah? I am not against you yourself this day, but against the house making war against me. And God has commanded me to make haste. Stop opposing God, who is with me that he will not destroy you.”22But Josiah did not turn his face from him, but he disguised himself to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and he went out to fight in the plain of Megiddo.23And the archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”24So his servants took him out of the chariot and transported him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the burial sites of his ancestors.Or “fathers” And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned over Josiah.25And Jeremiah uttered a lament for Josiah, and all the male and female singers have spoken in their laments about Josiah to this day. And they made them a requirement in Israel, and behold, they are written in the laments.26Now the remainder of the words of Josiah and his loyal love for what is written in the law of Adonai27and his words, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Israel and Judah Will Be Delivered from Their DistressThe word that came to Jeremiah from Adonai, saying,“to say”2“Thus says Adonai, the God of Israel, saying,“to say” ‘Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.3For look, days are coming,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai, ‘when I will restore the fortunesHebrew “fortune” of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Adonai, ‘and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestorsOr “fathers” and they will take possession of it.’”4Now these are the words that Adonai spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.5“For thus says Adonai: ‘We have heard a sound of trembling, terror, and there is no peace.6Ask please and see whether a male can bear a child. Why do I see every strong man with his hands on his loins like a woman giving birth? And why are all their faces changed to paleness?7Alas! For that day is great, there is none like it.“from none like it” And it is a time of distress for Jacob, yet from it he will be delivered.8And it will happen on that day,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai of hosts, ‘I will break his yoke from your neck and your bonds I will tear to pieces. And strangers will no longer let him work as a slave.9But they will serve Adonai their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.10But you must not fear, my servant Jacob,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai, ‘and you must not be dismayed, Israel, for look, I am going to save you from far, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return, and he will be at rest, and he will be at ease, and there will be no one who makes himsupplied from English context afraid.11For I am with you,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai, ‘to save you. For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations to which I scattered you, but you I will not make a complete destruction. And I will chastise you to the measure, and I will not leave you entirely unpunished.’

Jeremiah 3:1-25 (LEB)

A saying:“to say” ‘Look, if a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and she becomes another man’s wife,“and she becomes to a man another” will he return to her again?’ Will not that land be greatly defiled? And you have prostituted yourself with many lovers, would you now return to me?” declares“a declaration of” Adonai.2“Lift up your eyes at the barren heights, and see where you have not been ravished. Beside the roads you sat for them like an Arab in the desert,Or “wilderness” and you have defiled the land with your fornication and with your wickedness.3Therefore rain showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come. Yet you have“it is for you” the forehead of a woman prostitute, you refuse to be ashamed.4Have you not just now called to me, ‘My father, you are the close friend of my youth?5Will he be angry forever?“to eternity” Will he maintain it always’?“to duration” Look, you have spoken, but you have done all the evil that you could.”“you have done the evil and you were able”6Adonai Gives Israel a Letter of DivorceThen Adonai said to me in the days of Josiah, the king, “Have you seen what apostateOr “unfaithful” Israel has done? She has gone on every high hill and under every leafy tree and she has prostituted herself there.7And I thought, ‘After her doing all these things to me she will return,’ but she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.supplied from English context8And I saw that for this very reason, that“because of all” on account of apostateOr “unfaithful” Israel committing adultery I divorced her and gave the letter of divorce to her. Yet her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid and she went and prostituted herself also.9And it was because of the frivolity of her fornication that she defiled the land and committed adultery with the stone and with the tree.10Yet even in all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only“but if” in pretense,”Or “deception” declares“a declaration of” Adonai.11A Call for RepentanceThen Adonai said to me, “ApostateOr “unfaithful” Israel has proved herself more uprightOr “righteous” than treacherous Judah.12Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, apostateOr “unfaithful” Israel,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai. ‘I will not cause my anger“faces” to fall on you. For I am loyal,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai. ‘I will not be angry forever.“to eternity”13Only acknowledge your guilt, that against Adonai your God you have rebelled, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’ declares“a declaration of” Adonai.”14“Return, apostateOr “unfaithful” children,” declares“a declaration of” Adonai. “For I am your master,“I rule over among you” and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan,Or “family” and I will bring you to Zion.15Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart and they will feed you knowledge and insight.16And it will be when you have multiplied and become fruitful in the land in those days,” declares“a declaration of” Adonai, “they will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of Adonai.’ And it will not come to mind,“it shall not go up on heart” nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it,supplied from English context nor will it be made again.17At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of Adonai,’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the name of Adonai, to Jerusalem, and they will no longer go after the stubbornness of their evil heart.18In those days the house of Judah will walk along with the house of Israel and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave as an inheritance to your ancestors.Or “fathers”19Then I thought, ‘How I would set you among the children, and I would give you a land of desire, an inheritance of the glory of the hosts of nations.’ And I thought, ‘You would call me, “My father,” and you would not turn back from behindOr “following” me.’20However, as a wife departs treacherously from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel,” declares“a declaration of” Adonai.21“A voice is heard on the barren heights, the weeping of the pleas for mercy of the children of Israel, because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Adonai their God.22Return, O apostateOr “unfaithful” children, I will heal your backsliding. ‘Look, we come to you, for you are Adonai our God.23Surely, an illusion comes from the hills, the turmoil on the mountains. Surely, in Adonai our God is the salvation of Israel.24But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our ancestorsOr “fathers” from our youth, their flocks, and their cattle, their sons and their daughters.25Let us lie down in our shame, and let our disgrace cover us.

He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb for the second time and be born, can he?”*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by the phrase “can he”5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.7Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born from above.’The same Greek word can mean either “from above” or “again” (see also v. 3)

Revelation Chapter 15

Revelation 15:1-4

In Chapter fourteen we read about the third angel preaching the everlasting gospel for the last time and giving a warning to what will happen to those who take the mark of the beast and bow down to its gods. The gospel has now been preached to all nations around the world and now the end of days are about to be finalized, Matthew 24:14. The seven angels are about to pour out the last seven vial judgments of Gods fierce wrath on those who have chosen to follow and make allegiance to the beast and bow down to its false doctrines and gods as they have taken the mark of this beast.

The sea of glass symbolizes the vastness of Gods holiness and purity that is a place in our heart of peace and restful assurance. It is a place of safety as we endure our time here on earth trusting God in all things until the coming of the Lord as we have been warned to flee from the abomination that causes desolation which is the Luciferians New World Order, Matthew 24:13-22. Those who are still alive and in Christ are kept in the safety of Gods protection, Psalms 91, from the last seven plagues harming them as they are sealed by the Holy Spirit, 2 Corinthians 1:22, unto the day of redemption when at that time Jesus will return in the air for His Bride that has made herself ready.

The sea of glass mingled with fire is like that of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that were of Gods purity as they abide in great faith and trust in the Lord as they were unharmed in Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace as they refused to bow down and worship the golden image Nebuchadnezzar had made, Daniel chapter 3. The same will be during the last seven vial judgments that those who have not died a martyrs death and have kept their faith and trust in Jesus will come out of the fiery indignation of God unharmed and will be with the Lord forever.

Back in Revelation 14:3 we read about those before the throne of God singing a new song that no man could learn. They who are singing this song are those whose bodies have returned back to the dust of the ground and their spirit has gone back to God who gave it as they sing the song of triumph as they have been redeemed of the Lord, Ecclesiastes 12:7; 1 Corinthians 15:55 . Those who are in Christ that are still alive during these last seven vial judgments of God will soon learn the song of Moses as God makes an end to all things here on earth and then we will be with the Lord forever before His glorious throne, Exodus 15:1.

Revelation 15:5-8

The temple of the tabernacle of the testimony is before the throne of God where the four beast and the twenty four elders in the throne room of heaven give praise and glory to God day and night. This is the place of the holy of holies where the Ark of the Covenant is kept before the glorious throne of God that only the angels and the twenty four elders are allowed to enter in.

The temple of God opens up and seven angels that are clothed in the purity of God proceed out from the tabernacle ready to pour out the third and last woe upon mankind that still refuse to repent. The seven angels hold in their hands the last seven plagues of Gods fierce wrath that will be poured out on those of this Luciferians deceptive religious order and those who have followed after the beast, taken its mark and bowed down to the image of the beast.

There are three woes mentioned in Revelations as all being Gods chastisement warnings against those who refuse to repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Revelation chapters 8-10 is the first woe that starts with the breaking of the seventh seal that leads into the first six trumpet judgments of Gods chastisements against those who refuse to repent.

The first six seals beginning in Revelation chapter 6 are that of an outline or a prelude much like Matthew chapter 24 of things that are about to begin as a third part of man and the earth’s resources will be destroyed. Revelation chapters 11-14 is the second woe as the Luciferians Roman Catholic Empire will siege and take control of the temple mount in Jerusalem as they deceive the nations to make allegiance with them.

The temple in heaven is the holy of holies of Gods presence that opens to allow the seven angels God will use as He instructs one of the four Seraphim (beast) to give them seven golden vials that are full of Gods angry wrath. Golden vial represents the purity of God in all His righteous indignation poured out upon the unworthiness of man and his injustice towards God.

The heavenly temple is filled with smoke from the time God sends the seven angels out to pour out His final fierce wrath until God proclaims His judgments are finished. Smoke means the essence of Gods pure holiness and intense power in all His glory like that of Exodus 33:17-23; 40:34; 1 Kings 8:10, 11 where Moses could not look upon the full glory of God as His train filled the temple, Isaiah 6:1, as no man can see the full glory of God and live.

During this time of the heavenly temple being filled with smoke is Gods righteous anger towards the sin of mankind as He closes Himself off from the wickedness as God is to pure in all His glory to behold evil and look upon mans iniquity, Habakkuk 1:13, and at this time of Gods fierce anger no man can stand in His sight, Psalms 76:7. Once the final seven judgments have been fulfilled and Babylon destroyed then will just men be able to see the full presence and glory of God when Christ returns as at that time the saints of God will be with the Father forever, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58.

Exodus 33:17-23 (LEB)

And Adonai said to Moses, “Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name.”18And he said, “Please show me your glory.”19And he said, “I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Adonai before you, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.”20But he said, “You are not able to see my face, because a human will not see me and live.”21And Adonai said, “There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock.22And“and it will be” when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock’s crevice, and I will cover you with my hand until I pass over.23And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible.”

Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,52in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.53For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality.54But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up in victory.55Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?56Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.57But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!58So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because youHere “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“know”) which is understood as causal know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

The Comfort of the Lord’s ReturnNow we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.15For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain until the Lord’s coming, will not possibly precede those who have fallen asleep.16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.17Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always.18Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Revelation Chapter 14

Revelation 14:1-5

The Lamb represents Jesus who stands on the symbolic mount Sion in the heavenly Jerusalem meaning where God, Jesus and the holy angels dwell which is called the heaven of heavens, Hebrews 12:22-24; Deuteronomy 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalms 115:16. The hundred and forty four thousand that John sees standing with Jesus is not a literal numbering, but symbolic of those of Gods established covenant with faithful Abraham up through a thousand generations, Deuteronomy 7:9; Galatians 3:6, 7; 3:28, 29. These are they of great faith that have never allowed them selves to fall to temptations of the world. To the Jew first and then the Gentile who have gone on before us as together with them all who are alive or have died before the Lords return makes up the complete body of Christ, Ephesians 5:25-27.

God breathed life into us, Genesis 2:7, and when this flesh body dies that spirit of life that was breathed in us will be the only thing that will go back to God, Ecclesiastics 12:7. This fleshly body will return to the dust of the ground from where it came from until those who have died that are in Christ are resurrected first as we who are still alive at this time will be gathered with them in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air, John 3:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Those who rejected God are resurrected to stand in Gods judgment, Revelation 20:11-15. According to John 3:13 no one has ever ascended into heaven other than Christ as all who have physically died that are in the Lord sleep in the dust of the earth until the coming of the Lord.

The soul and the spirit are connected, but separable (Hebrews 4:12). The soul is the essence of humanity’s being; it is who we are. The spirit is the aspect of humanity that connects with God. Only those who have faith in Christ are those who are spiritually alive while those with unbelief in Christ are spiritually dead, 1 Corinthians 2:11; Hebrews 4:12; James 2:26; Ephesians 2:1-5; Colossians 2:13.

The spirit that is in man is either the spirit that connects with God or connects with the principalities of this world, the ruler of wickedness in dark places, Ephesians 6:12. Just because a person lives a good life, helps others and seems to be an all around good person whether they are alive or dead when Christ returns will be resurrected unto damnation if they are not renewed by the Spirit of God through His grace for their remissions of sin, John 3:3-7; Romans 10:9, 10.

The voice John hears is the multitude of those who have died a martyr’s death for not taking the mark of the beast and bowing down to the Luciferians New World Order as they kept their faith and trust in Jesus. Back in Chapter 6 the souls of those under the altar who already died a martyr’s death are crying out for revenge, but are told to wait until their fellow servants that should be killed that all things will then be fulfilled.

Now they all sing a new song in unison as they are joined together with their fellow martyred servants as they rejoice and give praise to the Lord who has redeemed them from this wicked world. Those of great faith who are still alive at this time could not understand this type of rejoicing for there is yet much they will have to endure, but are sealed from anything of Gods final wrath falling on those who have yet to repent.

Those men, women and children that make up the symbolic hundred and forty four thousand that have been redeemed from among men are called virgins. This means those of Spiritual purity that make up the true Church or Bride of Christ and not to be equated with celibacy, Hebrews 12:22-24; James 1:18, 27; 2 Corinthians 11:2. The virgins being the first fruits unto God and to Jesus through the Spiritual rebirth are those who have set their affection on those things from above as they have died to self and live for Christ, John 3:3-7; Romans 10:9, 10; Colossians Chapter 3.

Revelation 14:6-7

Let me set up a scenario of what is going to happen to those who are in Christ who refuse to take the mark of the beast. They will either be killed or thrown into prison camps becoming the slaves of this Luciferian New World Religious Order. It is part of history repeating itself like the time when Nebuchadnezzar brought his siege against Jerusalem killing and taking captive the Jews and making them his slaves. History always repeats itself as we read throughout scripture how the Romans have always persecuted Gods people and how Satan used people like Constantine, Hitler and Mussolini for examples of Jewish annihilation. Do a search on apfn camps to learn more about these detention camps.

John visions an angel flying around heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on earth. In Matthew 24:14 Jesus said that this gospel will be preached to the entire world as a witness and then the end will come. No one will be without excuse for not hearing the gospel as now the fulfillment of Gods promise has come as His gospel message has reached the ears of every person on earth as this angel announces to respect God and give Him praise and glory for His time of judgment has come.

This will be a time of great tribulation that the world has never seen before and never will again, Matthew 24:21, as great fear and confusion runs through the minds of those without Spiritual understanding who have either rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior or those who call themselves Christian, but by name only as they have not the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. Many will continue to curse God and blasphemy His name instead of repenting and turning back to His grace and mercy as His fierce wrath is about to be poured out upon them.

Revelation 14:8-10

Just as Satan worked through the serpent in Genesis 3:1-7 that caused Adam to sin against God in the beginning so will be the same in the end of days as he uses this revived Luciferians Roman Empire to entice those without Spiritual knowledge to receive the mark of the beast and bow down to this false religious system. The second angel that follows right after the first one with the everlasting gospel makes an announcement that Babylon has fallen for in Satan’s anger against God he has caused many to fall away from the true God as the mark they take is their belief in the Luciferians false religious doctrines and false idols they bow down to.

A third angel follows with a stern warning for what will happen to those who worship the beast that rises from the sea, which is the revived Papal Rome religious system that received its deadly wound in 1798, but the wound was healed in 1929. The image of this beast that rises from the earth is the coalition of churches in America that are guided by Papal Rome that will have religious and civil power just like the Papal Church. I discussed this back in Chapter 13 about America being the beast that rises from the earth. Look up the United Religions Initiative and Christian Coalition of America as they are a political organization that is now setting up the image of the beast meaning the image of Papal Rome with the church controlling the government as a union of church and state.

Those who follow after this beast and its image have been warned, but yet reject this warning as they stay blinded from truth and will face that of Gods great indignation as their torment will be exceedingly great as they will never have any rest from their works like the saints of God will as they will be tormented day and night forever.

Revelation 14:11-13

The woe of the nations as described in Isaiah Chapter 34 is now ready to come to fulfillment as those who accept this Luciferians religious system and worship there false gods are about to face the final seven vial judgments of God along with those who control this system and preaches its false doctrines. Those who have kept Gods commandments and the faith of Jesus as they have remained patient will be spared from Gods final wrath touching them. Those saints of God who have been persecuted to death are now at rest as they sleep in the dust of the ground waiting for the return of Jesus, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Revelation 14:14-16

First we need to understand that the one upon the white cloud is not Jesus as the word says like unto the Son of man with emphases on the word like. Scripture shows the Son of man as in parts where the son is capitalized and also used in lower case as son in Ezekiel and Daniel being called sons of man in Ezekiel 2:1-3 and Daniel 8:17. Jesus is called son of man in Luke 3:23, but also called Son of man in Matthew 20:28.

The difference between Son/son being capitalized and lower case is to show the human side of man and also the Spiritual side as in Jesus being made flesh or in other words being born in a human body as in the word made flesh to dwell amongst us, John 1:14. When the scriptures speak of the Son/son of man it is speaking of the power and authority given to Jesus as a servant to mankind and we the saints of God continuing in being a servant of God to all mankind as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus after He ascended to sit at the right hand of God.

Son/son designates one who assigns themselves to a name or title as to an office, 2 Timothy 1:11; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, like Jesus who is called the Son of God in all power and authority given to Him by the Father. Those who are in the office of servitude under Gods authority takes on the nature of Jesus through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit becoming a servant of man to minister to mankind and also prepared to give their lives for the sake of others as Jesus laid down His life for all of us, Matthew 20:28.

Luke 3:23 calls Jesus the son of man as being born the son of Joseph as this is how many perceived Jesus to be as only the son of a carpenter, Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3, who later was called prophet teacher, John 3:2, until they realized Jesus as being the Son of God true Messiah as their Spiritual eyes were opened on the day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

The one upon the white cloud is an angel as Jesus stated in Matthew 13:39 that the reapers are angels sent to come at the end of the age. The angel on the white cloud wears a symbolic crown of gold which means Gods’ great authority given to him as he waits for the angel that comes out from Gods presence to declare it is now time to take the sharp sickle in his hand which represents the reaping of the harvest as the timing has now come on earth to separate the wheat from the tares, Matthew 13:24-43.

The wheat is those of good seed who have kept the witness and testimony of Christ and have not taken the mark of the beast. They are gathered of all nations under the safety of the Lord as God prepares to pour out His wrathful vial judgments on the people of earth that have followed after the beast and have taken his mark.

Revelation 14:17-20

John sees in his vision another angel coming out of the temple of God in heaven that also has a sharp sickle, but this angel’s purpose is different from the other angel who has gathered Gods people to safety. This angel waits until the angel from the altar that has power over fire to announce it is time to reap into the earth and gather the clusters of the vine for her grapes are fully ripe.

This angel who has power over fire is the angel in Revelation 8:3 that stands before the altar of God that is given much incense to burn as the sweet aroma is sent up to God with the prayers of the martyred saints, meaning those whose breath/spirit has returned back to God who gave it making them a living soul, Genesis 2:7; Ecc 12:7 as these are those under the altar in Revelation 6:9-11 that are waiting for their blood to be avenged.

Gods timing is now made perfect as the prayers of the martyred saints are about to be answered as He tells the angel before the altar to tell the other angel with the sharp sickle to reap into the earth and gather the cluster of the vine and throw them into the great winepress of Gods wrath for her grapes are ripe.

This vine is different from the vine that is Christ in John 15:5 as this vine is the Luciferians New World Order system and the cluster of grapes are those who attach themselves to this system as they take the mark of this beast and bow down to their ordnances. The wickedness of the multitude is full now as they have rejected God, martyred His saints and still refuse to repent.

The great winepress is symbolic of mans destruction as it can be likened unto grapes trodden down in great fierceness of being pressed down for their juice as the grapes are destroyed. In this case it is the unrighteous that will be trodden down by the fierceness of Gods seven vial chastisements which are different then the six trumpet chastisements that only affected a third of the world.

The seven vial judgments will affect all the unrighteous in every nation around the world, Joel 3:13, 14; Isaiah 63:3 Lamentation 1:15, as these judgments are environmental and physical, which are explained in Rev 16 that will cause many who have not taken the mark of the beast to finally realize what they have been hearing and rejecting that is preached to them from the everlasting Gospel is true as they are physically affected by these vial judgments and will seek out the sovereign and omnipotent God of all creation and repent of their sin against Him.

The description of the winepress being outside the city and the tremendous amount of blood represents a great conquest of God outside of His temple in heaven which means a global conquest over the wickedness on the earth that is found in the heart of man, Isaiah 63:3, 4. The earlier conquest of God during battles where the enemy were always slaughtered as we read in the Old Testament were localized as in certain regions, but this one of the great winepress is a global slaughter of those who oppose God as they are lovers of self wanting nothing to do with the God of righteousness as they are deceived in their own thoughts and actions of those thoughts, 2 Timothy 3:1-9.

Genesis 3:1-7 (LEB)

The FallNow the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal“animal of the field” which Adonai God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God indeed say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”2The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,3but from the tree that is in the midst of the garden, God said, ‘You shall not eat from it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die’.”4But the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die.5For God knows that on the day you both eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you both shall be like gods,The plural is in the context of v. 22 “one of us” and the plural suffix pronouns [[“you all”]] throughout the verse knowing good and evil.”6WhenOr “And” the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, thenOr “and” she took from its fruit and she ate. And she gave it also to her husband with her, and he ate.7ThenOr “And” the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked.

He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb for the second time and be born, can he?”*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by the phrase “can he”5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above,The same Greek word can mean either “from above” or “again,” which allows for the misunderstanding by Nicodemus here; Jesus was speaking of new birth “from above,” while Nicodemus misunderstood him to mean a second physical birth he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”4Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is an old man? He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb for the second time and be born, can he?”*The negative construction in Greek anticipates a negative answer here, indicated in the translation by the phrase “can he”5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.6What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.7Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born from above.’The same Greek word can mean either “from above” or “again” (see also v. 3)

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.

I was standing between Adonai and you“between Adonai and between you” at that time to reportOr “declare” to you the word of Adonai, for you were afraid because of the presence of“the faces of” the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. He said,“To say”6‘I am Adonai your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.7There shall not be for you other gods besides me.“before my face”8‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.9‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me,10but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.11‘You shall not take up the name of Adonai your God for a worthless purpose, for Adonai will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.12‘Observe the Sabbath day“the day of the Sabbath” to make it holy,Or “to sanctify it” just as Adonai your God has commanded you.13Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work,14but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Adonai your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your towns,“gates” so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest.15And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Adonai your God brought you out with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, Adonai your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath.“the day of the Sabbath”16‘Honor your father and your mother, as Adonai your God commanded you, so that it will be good for youOr “it may go well for you” in the land“on the ground” that Adonai your God is giving to you.17‘You shall not murder.18‘And you shall not commit adultery.19‘And you shall not steal.20‘And you shall not falsely bear evidence against your neighbor.21‘And you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not crave the house of your neighbor, his field or his slave or his slave woman or his ox and his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’“that is for your neighbor”22“These words Adonai spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire and the very thick cloud with a loud voice, and he did not add anything,“and not he added” and then he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.23And then“And it happened” when you heard“and as/when you heard” or “at the moment of your hearing” the voice from the midst of the darkness, and as the mountain was burning with fire, and and all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,

Avoid these people.6For from these are those who slip into houses and captivate foolish women loaded down with sins, led by various kinds of desires,7always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.8And just as“in the manner in which” Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, people corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith.9But they will not progress to a greater extent, for their folly will be quite evident to everyone, as also the folly of those two was.

Revelation 13:11-18 (LEB)

The Second Beast from the EarthAnd I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon.12And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed“of whom the wound of his death had been healed”.13And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people.14And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it has been granted to him to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and yet lived.15And it was given to him to put breath into the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast both spoke and caused that all those, unless they worshiped the image of the beast, should be killed.16And he causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,17and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark — the name of the beast or the number of his name.18Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number,Or “it is the number of a man” and his number is six hundred sixty-six.A few significant manuscripts read “six hundred sixteen”

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.

I was watching until its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth and it was raised on its feet like a human, and a human heart was given to it.5And look, another beast, a second one, looking like a bear. And it was raised up on one side and three tusksOr “ribs” were in its mouth between its teeth, and so it was told,“they were saying” “Arise, eat much flesh!”6After this I was watching and look, another beast like a leopard; it had four wings“and there were to it four wings” of a bird on its back, and the beast had“to the beast” four heads, and dominion was given to it.7After this in the visions of the night I was looking and there was a fourth beast, terrifying and frightful and exceedingly strong, and it had“were to it” great iron teeth,“teeth of iron for it great” and it was devouring and crushing, and it stamped the remainderOr “residue” with its feet; and it was different from all the other beasts that preceded it“that preceding her/it” and it had ten horns.“and ten horns for her/it”8I was considering the horns, and look, another little horn came up among“between” them, and three of the earlier horns were rooted out“dehorned” from before it, and there were eyes like the eyes of a humanOr “humankind” in this horn and also a mouth that was speaking boastfully.

Matthew 16:24-28 (LEB)

Taking Up One’s Cross to Follow JesusThen Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it.26For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?27For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to what he has done.“his activity”28Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

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.
