Unraveling Revelation: In the Beginning...

[hawkman]

Derek and Sharon Gilbert begin a new weekly program that analyzes end times prophecy in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This week, we discuss a supernatural entity who may have rebelled even before the serpent in Eden—Leviathan.

I would not entertain such myths.

It's not a myth if Leviathan is no other than Satan the Dragon.

One would have to watch every video in this series, which not to many of us will do. After watching this video there is only one God of all creation as all these other gods are nothing more then mythical, especially in the Greek culture, as Satan uses these fake gods to deceive those without faith in God.

Genesis 3 we are introduced to the serpent that Satan worked through to deceive mankind showing that he can work his deceitfulness through anything or anyone that is not of God's own.

Isaiah 14:12-15 once again we read of Satan falling from God's grace making himself to think he is above God as he know becomes the god of this world, 2Corinthians 4:4. Ezekiel 28:1-19 we read how Satan worked through the king of Tyre as Satan was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty until iniquity was found in him.

We read throughout the Bible how Satan works through others to come against those who have faith in God and His Son Christ Jesus with the last time being a 3 1/2 year reign of this beast in the end of days being that of the beast out of the sea in Rev 13 and his false prophet that began with the Babylonian Empire up to the revived Roman Empire. This beast that Satan works through is a Luciferian system comprised of economic, political, militant, environmental and a false religious system.

2Thessalonians 2:1-12 is about the son of perdition that Satan works through for 3 1/2 years that will be revealed to all at that time causing all to take its mark or die a martyr's death for the sake of Christ.

The book of Revelation is full of symbols, which are also biblical references. God visualized the end times to apostle John through these symbols, and the symbolism is very consistent throughout the entire bible. I've often argued that it's like the epilogue of a novel or the finale of a tv series. If you've read all the previous books and you're familiar with the symbolism, it'll be very obvious to you what Revelation actually reveals; otherwise, you'll never get it.

A very analogy I can come up with is George Orwell's Animal Farm. We all know it's about the Russian Communist Revolution, but it's not just a generalized satire, every character and event in the book has a specific counterpart in real history, including the the minor characters, and that requires a lot of knowledge in the revolution and the power struggle. However, even if you're totally ignorant in communist history, the Animal Farm is still a timeless political fable about the fall of a idealistic utopia into a dystopia, how power and wealth corrupt the leaders of the revolution, as the pigs that overthrow the human regime eventually become a totalitarian regime, and even worse. All these symbols of the animals hold up together, it's still a coherent masterpiece, you just won't understand how real and relevant it is.

I agree with your comments there FHG, well done. Just one point which would be good on its own thread. I don`t believe God revives the Roman Empire after He has judged it as also the previous empires God judged - Babylon, Medes and Persians and Greece.

I believe from God`s word that the final empire/Federation over the Global Government will be that most terrifying beast the world has ever seen. So, who is killing thousands of Christians in Africa, and who is committing the most horrendous acts in the Middle East?

Once they get their predicted leader, they will form the most terrifying Federation ever seen in the world.
