My understanding of the End Times

[Shekinahglory]

I believe in Rev.1:10, it is speaking of the day of the Lord..
Because, in previous verses, it speaks that He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see Him, they also which pierced Him. This is showing the Lord Jesus as He will return to this earth in His Return or commonly known Second Coming. There is a problem when you write something that is so far above our understanding it is described in terms that we will recognize while missing the larger teaching. This is Christ returning with His Glory, The Shekinah Glory. The only aspect they don't mention is that of the fire that makes up the pillar of cloud and fire. We recall how Christ is returning as lightening from the east to the west. That lightening is as close as can be described as the fire of the Shekinah Glory.

I also believe that the angel of the bottomless pit is Satan, the king over them, the fallen angels, Antichrist. I would agree with you but I also have a little different understanding of Satan. I believe Satan is a trinity of evil made up of three fallen angels. These angels counterfeit and oppose the Holy Trinity. the is Satan the father who is in heaven with God the Father. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

Satan the son opposes and counterfeits God the son. presently locked in the Abyss/ Bottomless Pit. These are the fallen angels who left their proper place to come into the world and seek the daughters of women and who have been placed by the Lord into the Bottomless Pit waiting for the time of judgment when they will be set free with Satan the son, anti-Christ who will be counterfeiting God the Son who is coming with His holy angels. They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. Rev. 9:11


Rev.9:11
His name Apollyon...
Strong's #623
Destroyer, Satan
…12And the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East. 13And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God, the Almighty.… Here is the trinity of evil. One, the dragon but three father, son and unholy spirit. Not knowing of this trinity will have confusion in trying to understand what is going on. Instead of the three demons we have an anti-Christ who it is claimed to be a man possessed by Satan instead of Satan himself.

thanks for sharing your insights, great work,

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: Acts 7:48. agreed so that tells us the Millennial Temple is not made by human hands

Ezekiel had seen the Glory of the Lord depart from the Temple (ch. 8—11), he was permitted a glimpse behind the curtain between seen and unseen, into the future to see that Glory return from the east, enter through the gate, and go into the inner sanctuary. God promised that when this finally occurs, that new Temple will be the place of His throne, and He will live among the Jewish people forever (43:7)—it will be God’s dwelling among His people and will never again be defiled in any manner. At the end of the thousand years Satan will deceive the Gentile nations and when they see an undefended Jerusalem they will seek its destruction only to find out the Lord will be its Wall in that day.

God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24



These verses certainly say, that God does not dwell in a Temple made by hands.



However, this does not say, “There will never be a third Temple built by hands,”

Shekinahglory my response to your post #13.

John 5:28, 29 and 6:40 makes it very clear that Jesus returns on the last day after the 3 1/2 year reign of the beast out of the sea being the son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5. All things from Rev 19-21 are done on the last day as in God's timing.

Matthew 24:29-31; Rev 19:11-21 is all done while Christ is still in the air as we are caught up to meet Him in the air when He returns, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17. After the remnant are slain then Satan is bound for a time, which again is God's timing, so he can not interfere with the ungodly people that are still alive on earth that become the footstool of Christ. Rev 20:7-10 Those that have rejected Christ that still remain on earth after the beast, false prophet and all the ruling leaders from every nation that followed after the beast are destroyed are those who are the numbering as the sand of the sea, Rev 20:7-10 These are the enemy of God that Satan uses to battle against the saints that are camped upon the breadth of the earth. Psalms 2:7-10; 110; Ezekiel 36; 37; Rev 20:7-9 the saints are camped not only in Jerusalem the beloved city of God, but also throughout the breadth of the earth. It's only the 144,000 generational Jews that believe in Christ that have returned to Jerusalem. After the symbolic 1000 years are fulfilled Satan is set loosed for a season and goes out to deceive the nations as he gathers the enemies of Christ to battle against the saints as the numbering of unbelievers is like the sand of the sea. As the enemy surrounds the camp of the saints God sends fire down from heaven and destroys the enemy and Satan is cast onto the lake of fire.

I agree they are gathering the materials to build a new Temple, but the Muslims will never give the Temple mount back to the Jews as even now it is being refurbished for the son of perdition (not a Muslim) to take his seat on the very Temple mount of God. There has not been a Temple since the last one was destroyed in 70AD to present day so were would they go to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

The star John saw that fell from heaven was an angel as angels are sometimes called stars in scripture. This angel having the key to open the bottomless pit could be the same angel we read about in Revelation 20:1-3 that God gives the key to that opens the bottomless pit where Satan is bound. When the bottomless pit was opened locust came up out of it. In reference to a smoke these locust would be to numerous to number, Judges 7:12, and look like dark smoke as they rise and swarm if you saw them from a distance. Once they became closer to your vision you would see that it wasn’t smoke, but a hoard of locust. Their attributes of what God is purposing them for is what gives them their power to sting as in tormenting those who have not the seal of God on them. They are compared as scorpions that literally sting using the power of their tails as they raise them above their head.

I am not computer literate how do I break your posts into smaller chunks. I would use the quote but it doesn't work on my ipad. thanks

It is quite easy. Highlight the text you want and use the +Quote feature.

I never understood how the quote thing works as it never worked for me either. Usually what I do is highlight the part I want to reply to and click on reply when it comes up.

I probably should ask someone how to do multiple quotes.

Wow! As a moderator who goes in and deletes posts and entire threads, I would have thought you understood the basics of quoting someones statement. In you role here, think maybe you should ask?

Rev 9:13-21
The four horns of the golden altar before God in His tabernacle on earth use to be sprinkled with blood from the animal sacrifice to cleanse and purify it from the sins of the Israelites, Leviticus 4:7, 16:18. The golden altar being in the tabernacle of God before His throne in heaven is that of the four gospels of grace. The voice coming out of the four horns is Jesus who is the only one worthy of opening the seven seals and sending out the seven angels with a trumpet sound which means one sent out by Gods great power and authority.

Jesus now speaks to the angel with the sixth trumpet and commands him to let loose the four angels that are bound in the Euphrates River that have been prepared by God for the hour, day, month and year of His angry indignation against those who follow after other gods. The four angels are Gods warring angels who will war against the enemies of God killing a third of mankind that refuse to repent.

John knows the number of the horsemen as he heard the number to be two hundred million. The four angels will take each to them five hundred thousand horsemen or Gods warring angels and since there are four angels that lead this army I would think they would go out to the four corners of the earth as they kill a third of the earths population.

Each horseman has a breastplate of fire, jacinth and brimstone. The breastplate represents the heart of these two hundred million warring angels that are being lead by the four angels as they are all subject to Gods will and purpose. The horse’s heads being likened unto a lions head represents strength, predatory and majesty of a ruler or king as being God in His fierce power of this particular chastisement on men. The fire, smoke and brimstone literally proceeds out of the mouths of these warring angels as we read in the literal fire of God in Exodus 9:23; 2 Kings 1:10; Numbers 11:1; 16:35; Leviticus 21:9; Psalms 104:4. By these three that are fire, smoke and brimstone a third of mankind will be killed.

They are Satan's angels.
Locusts eats grass of the earth, trees, green things.
As in Rev.9:4 states it was commanded that they should not hurt these things.
Stings like a scorpion, it turns your backbone to mush.
Rev.9:7-9
They had crowns of gold, royalty, their faces as faces of men.
Had hair like women, gentle.
Teeth of lions, that rips and tears..
They had breastplates ,Priestly..

Rev.9:17,18
Out of their mouths issued fire, smoke, and brimstone, blow smoke up your skirt,lol.
By these 3 was the third part of men killed, spiritually.
They believed their lies, in results, worship the false one.

As in Rev.9:20 they worship devils...

Can’t see much to disagree in this. The locust in Joel I believe

The four angels are Gods warring angels who will war against the enemies of God killing a third of mankind that refuse to repent. the angels out of the abyss may be the 200,000,000 million being army.

John knows the number of the horsemen as he heard the number to be two hundred million. The four angels will take each to them five hundred thousand horsemen or Gods warring angels and since there are four angels that lead this army I would think they would go out to the four corners of the earth as they kill a third of the earths population.

…7They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course. 8They do not jostle one another; each man proceeds in his column, as they burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks. 9They storm the city; they run along the wall; they climb into houses, entering through windows like thieves.… Jl

I believe those angels will be part of this army of demonic locust/fallen angels. Look at how they attack there is no army on the earth that can beat them. When the Christ returns this will be the army that has turned on Jerusalem killing all but the faithful remnant and destroying the entire city. The Lord will defeat anti-Christ and the false prophet along with these fallen angels and all of them will be thrown into the LOF. Notice after this first judgment on the Jews there is no feast for the birds of the air. The Millennial Temple is larger than the entire present day city of Jerusalem. It is going to be quite a place.

John 5:28, 29 and 6:40 makes it very clear that Jesus returns on the last day after the 3 1/2 year reign of the beast out of the sea being the son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5. All things from Rev 19-21 are done on the last day as in God's timing.

But it is a 7 year period. Daniels prophecy of the 70 Weeks of Years has signposts to follow for when the weeks of years begin and end. The decree from Cyrus to rebuild begins this portion of the weeks of years. The first group was 7 Weeks of Years making up 49 years leaving 63 Weeks of Years or a total of 441 years left. From the rebuilding of Jerusalem it would be a total of 62 Weeks of Years a total of 62 Weeks of Years or 434 years until the Messiah came and was crucified. That leaves one week of years or 7 last years still to be fulfilled.
26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. ” Daniel 9: 26-27
The beginning of this last week of years is seven years just as long as the Tribulation lasts. The people of the ruler to come was not Titus and his soldiers it will be the fallen angel army. This is anti-Christ confirm a covenant with the apostate portion of Israel Isaiah 28 the Covenant with Death. Three and a half years he doesn't want to play the Sheep he wants to be the ravenous wolf. Anti-Christ will forcibly stop sacrifices and offerings . This abomination is most interesting. We are told that he will appear ro breath life into it counterfeiting the Christ with Adam. During this time He will destroy apostate Israel and the entire city and temple. He will turn his attention towards the faithful remnant and begin slaying those who are the ones who washed their clothes in the blood. The Lord returns to the Mount of Olives opening a valley for the remnant to escape. To distract anti-Christ there will be troubling reports about other nations that will entangle him with wars until the end. In 70 A.D. the church at Jerusalem was just about wiped out when the Lord brought Rome against the apostate Jews and preserved the Churc.h.

25 I will turn My hand against you,
And thoroughly[c] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy. Isaiah 1:25.

This passage is from Isaiah 1: 25. This and the four other opening chapters is nothing dealing with the End Times that are being covered in the Revelation. Here we are told that thoroughly purge away the dross. The dross is the apostate portion of the nation. Judgment first to the Jew then to the Gentile.

its going to be hell on earth. Thank goodness I have reservations of the planet.

Better color?

You don't have to use colors now that you know how to reply, but you can if you want to. I agree as it is going to be a time of great anguish here on earth, especially for all of those who are Christ own that are alive at this time. Here is my nutshell scenario of what I believe it will be like. Sorry about the length.

When the son of perdition takes his literal seat in the holy place of Jerusalem Jesus warned us to flee as He has a place prepared for us wherever we go to, Matthew 24:15-21; Rev 12:14.

God's protection is absolute to those who escape into the wilderness and trust in Christ to help meet their needs. Just as God told Moses to strike the rock for fresh water, Exodus 17:1-7, and sending manna down from heaven and providing Quail for meat, Exodus 16, so will be the same in the end of days, Philippians 4:19.

Nut shell scenario of what will happen during the first six trumpets of Rev Chapter 8-11 that leads up to the seventh trumpet and the events of Chapter 13 with the beast out of the sea and out of the earth.

God’s wrath is poured out into the world as chastisements for disobedience, but also a warning that man needs to repent and turn back to God before the door of salvation is closed forever when Christ returns.

Hail and fire can be likened unto meteors that fall from the sky. A third of the trees and all the green grass are burned up which makes a third part of the world with a shortage of oxygen in the air that is created from the carbon dioxide from the trees and living plants. Seeing that this is Global the intense fire and smoke from all the trees and grass burning can travel for miles causing much more damage throughout the nations. The trees that produce various healthy foods for our wellbeing will become scarce. The green grasses that would probably include crops of wheat, barley, corn and so forth will be destroyed causing a shortage in food. The animals we depend on as a food source will also die as they are left without vegetation they need to live on.

This great mountain burning with fire could be another meteor or even a series of meteors sent down from heaven at one time, but on an extremely larger scale as the third part of the sea is destroyed along with sea life and the third part of the ships that sit in it. The third part of the sea turned to blood by reason of all the animal life that is killed and those men, women and children who are on these ships that are destroyed. Take into consideration the disease that would spread from all the rotted sea life that is rotting away washing up on the shore and the flesh of those who were burned along with the ships.

These ships will more than likely be types of fuel tankers, merchant, fishing and luxury cruises ships traveling the waters. With the third of these ships being destroyed means a third part of the world’s fuel and food supply would be destroyed. There is only one ocean, but divided by four regions as being the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. This would be like the four corners of the earth as being North, South, East and West. The only difference between the ocean and the sea is that the ocean is much larger and feeds into the 108 seas around the world that also flow into our lakes and streams that provide us with fresh drinking water and other sources of food.

With the third part of the sun, moon and stars being darkened this will affect mans source of electricity and heat that is vital to keep a certain degree of the earth warm, and generated power in homes, hospitals and manufacturing plants including nuclear reactors.

Agriculture and navigation would be hard pressed as it takes the solar power from the sun to run the solar cells that produces the energy needed to run farming machinery and trucks to take the produce to manufacturing plants where the produce is then distributed to market.

Vehicles such as cars, ambulances, planes, trains and the list goes on need an energy source from the sun in order to run their engines. The darkness of the third part of the day would be roughly around eight hours of daylight being lost and total darkness of night as the moon and stars are illuminated by the sun at night. A flashlight would be useless to see in the dark as it needs energy from the sun to run the battery that turns the light on.

This much darkness would cause people to panic in the streets creating chaos as the love of many will wax cold, Matthew 24:12. Riots would break out causing looting and lose of life as those who have not will do anything in desperation to take from those who have much. IMO Marshal law will be enforced as we see history repeat itself with many Christians taken captive that did not flee and killed as they refuse to denounce Christ and take the mark. They will also die a martyr's death, Rev 6:9-11, especially vs. 11. Also we are not to fear what man can do to us, Matthew 10:28.

This is where the mark of the beast comes in during the seventh trumpet as this NWO is a Luciferian system of economics, political, military and false religious power that gives power to the beast out of the earth being the son of perdition. By lying signs and wonders the beast will deceive the nations (people) into taking its mark. IMO I think the mark is the thoughts of our mind and the actions of our hands reaching out to this beast that promises peace, safety and provision as many will bow down and worship this beast who claims to be God.

After the 3 1/2 years of this Luciferian reign on earth that will wear out the saints then every eye will see Christ coming in the clouds with His army of angels that are then sent out to gather those saints who are alive at His coming and those who sleep in their graves. We are gathered up to the clouds as we receive our new glorified bodies in order to meet Jesus in the air. From the air He destroys the beast and false prophet by the brightness of His coming only speaking their destruction casting them into the lake of fire. Satan is bound for a time as Jesus sets out to destroy all the nations that followed after the beast. Satan is then released in a final attempt to destroy the saints as he sends his angels out to surround the camp of the saints, but the angels are consumed by fire and Satan cast into the lake of fire. Then comes God's great white throne judgment and the books are opened and all are judged. Then this present heaven and earth are burned up and made new again and the New Jerusalem is ushered down from heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.

Daniel 9:24-27 the Vision of the Seventy Weeks

Vs. 24 this verse shows us that the timing from Ezra to the cross was 490 days (490 Prophetic years) as within that time Ezra was reestablishing the law in Jerusalem until Jesus had fulfilled the end of transgression, made an end to sin, made reconciliation for iniquity and bring everlasting righteousness and to seal up the prophecy to fulfill parts of the law through the cross.

Vs. 25 from the time of the cross, which also means the last days, which includes what some like to separate and call “The Great Tribulation”, which is not mentioned anywhere in scripture and is not a separate event after the elect of God are caught up, but as the last days so we are in tribulation times until the end of the world as we know it, Acts 2:17; Hebrews 1:1,2; Matthew 24:4-31; Mark 13:24-31; Luke 21:5-36. These are just some of the scriptures that support that we will go through all things of Rev Chapter 6-21. Everyone will have opportunity to come unto salvation through Jesus Christ if they would only believe until the door of salvation is closed when Jesus calls us and we meet him in the clouds, which after this time no one can be saved, Matthew 25:10.

Vs.26 after 434 years that end in the year AD29 shall Messiah be cut off. Jesus was crucified after he was baptized in AD 29 three and a half years later. Jesus was cut off (killed) by the people of the Romans under Vespasian their prince that the Pharisees, Sanhedrin and the high priest who have favor with that destroy the city and the sanctuary (meaning Christ) and the end thereof shall be with a flood (Gods wrath) that will put an end to abominations by desolation or in other words a ruin to evil deeds. Daniel 9:27 explains the definitions of desolation of abominations or the ruin of evil deeds. There is no actual Desolations of Abominations where a so called Antichrist (emphasis on the capitol "A") will take a literal throne, but the desolation will be when the son of perdition, being the false prophet/last antichrist, tries to take his throne in Jerusalem, Daniel 11:36-45. Gods’ word never defines one great Antichrist, but says there are many antichrists, 1John2:18; 11 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 11:7. The seven years that some call the seven year tribulation means three and a half years beginning with the first six seals being the beginning of sorrows (first woe). The last three and a half years starting with the (second woe) with the sounding of the first trumpet and ending with the seventh trumpet that includes everything else written in Revelations that includes the time of Christ return for His Bride in Rev 19 up to the end when Satan is cast into the lake of fire with the beast and the false prophet and ends with the new Jerusalem being ushered down as then we will be with the Lord forever.

Vs.27 the 70th seven began with Christ baptism in AD 29 and three years later at the end of the first half of the 70th seven sacrifices and offering ceased because Christ hung on the cross. From the giving of the law in 458BC when Ezra went to establish the law, or to rebuild the spiritual city right to the cross where the first 69 sevens. The 70th seven is from the time of the cross until Jesus comes back in the air to call his Bride home and for the overspreading of abominations he will make desolate, or make an end to all who would not believe.

Vs. 24 this verse shows us that the timing from Ezra to the cross was 490 days (490 Prophetic years) as within that time Ezra was reestablishing the law in Jerusalem until Jesus had fulfilled the end of transgression, made an end to sin, made reconciliation for iniquity and bring everlasting righteousness and to seal up the prophecy to fulfill parts of the law through the cross.
Three distinct events were to take place in this 490 year period. Three events that showed the beginning of and then the end of each segment. Cyrus decree to rebuild started it. When the city and temple were rebuilt that ended the first segment. It took a total of 7 Weeks of Years or 49 years. With this portion fulfilled it left 63 Weeks of years totaling 441 years. Now began the countdown for Messiah to come and be crucified. That was to take 62 weeks of years or 434 years until Messiah came and is cutoff. This leaves one Week of Years , 7 Years, until the Prince who is to come appears at that time this is Death who enters into a seven year covenant with apostate Israel and he is accepted as the Messiah. This Prince of the World is the being that begins the seven years period that's left to be fulfilled

Vs. 25 from the time of the cross, which also means the last days, which includes what some like to separate and call “The Great Tribulation”, which is not mentioned anywhere in scripture and is not a separate event after the elect of God are caught up, but as the last days so we are in tribulation times until the end of the world as we know it, Acts 2:17; Hebrews 1:1,2; Matthew 24:4-31; Mark 13:24-31; Luke 21:5-36.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Jer. 30:7

The Time of Jacob's Trouble is another title of the great tribulation period. One thousand years later Satan deceives the Gentile nations, "Gog and Magog", and leads them against the Millennial Temple and the Jewish remnant who are the priests in that temple, this will be the second destruction. There is no Day of the Lord as the Lord comes out from Jerusalem to fight and defeat this bunch led by Satan. Satan is defeated and throne into the LOF where anti-Christ and the false prophet have been tormented for a thousand years. The dead Gentiles having been killed become bird foodThis is not where the Lord returns in Glory that took place 1,000 years before this when the Lord returned in His glory. There might be a very large lesson for the Church in what takes place in the tribulation and sinners reaction to it. For those who think the church should be an instrument of judgment on people to get them to turn in the period the Lord describes as being awful in what comes upon them they curse God. We love Him because He first loved us. The Rapture takes place and all believers rise to met the Lord in the sky. The Bride is then taken to His Father's house where she will spend the 1,000 years getting ready for the Lord's Wedding Supper which takes place after the thousand years when there is a new heaven and earth and the Bride descends from heaven dressed as a bride.
