Observations on God, Life and the Human Journey- a site devoted to these things:
See the Weblog for the newest postings. The world is rapidly moving to catastrophe. There will be explosions in the Korean peninsula, the Middle East, Venezuela, the Indian subcontinent, the South China Sea, the Baltics, the Ukraine, and in the world of stocks and bonds. Satan will interject himself in the form of antichrist. The three and ½ year Tribulation foretold in Revelation will begin. Judgment is upon the world. A note to you who call yourselves Christians: There are not two Second Comings. Don't expect a pre-tribulation Rapture. Some of you will escape to the wilderness (Revelation 12:6). Those of you who worship "Israel" will not escape. You will be put to the test and forced to make a choice. The two witnesses and 144,000 will explain to you what that choice is. As an aside, the two and the 144,000 may not look like what you expect. The two are not Elijah and Enoch or Elijah and Moses. They are not men from thousands of years ago, who are not part of this time and place. The 21st century is not Elijah's world. The two witnesses are men of this era who will fight antichrist to the death. They sure as heck aren't a couple of ridiculous TV preachers and they don't have some stupid beanies on their heads. They are real men with real courage; a couple of nobodies just like Peter and John. These two nobodies will be the greatest of all the Biblical prophets. And the 144,000 will be a ragtag band of characters. Not literally 144,000 and not literally from the 12 (actually 13) defunct tribes of ancient Israel. That 12 tribes of Israel stuff is pure symbolism. The "144,000" will be from all over the world, and will probably include Russians, Americans, various Europeans, Asians and others. There is a prophetic deadline. Many believe that world events will continue to move forward generation after generation just as they have done since the time of John on Patmos. Peter spoke of these people: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Peter 3:3-4) These scoffers include many prominent "Christians". They use the false predictions of the blood moon/astrological crowd as their proof that nothing will happen. But take note. The technology is being developed for a global brain through the 5G mobile network, artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computers, and so on. It's already started. People are becoming zombies because of their "smartphones". Thousands have already been chipped and technology now exists that can upload the brain's EEG waves to a computer. At some point, computer implants will be placed in every human. People will become nothing more than nodes on the Internet of things (IoT) network. Those in power will ultimately have a kill switch to eliminate any troublesome human. But it does not stop there. Eventually machines will become so intelligent that they can and will eliminate humanity. Even the super elite will be snuffed out. Earth will become a planet run by machines. Such events, with the reduction of man to machine, and the elimination of man altogether, go beyond the book of Revelation. In Revelation, men are still human and can still respond to the message of the two witnesses and the 144,000. (Many will be won - they are called the Church of Smyrna.) Once the global brain is built, Revelation will have been superseded. Satan is trying to overtake Revelation and prevent its judgments from occurring. God must and will intervene soon. At most, the global brain is probably only 10 to 20 years away, if that much. But there is a big problem for satan and his global brain. The world is facing environmental collapse. Fukushima is poisoning the Pacific. The oceans are dying, ecosystems are imploding, and animal life forms are disappearing. The earth may die before the global brain can even be established. Satan must act quickly. He has little time. His only option to accelerate the timetable is world war. The threat of total war will allow him and his antichrist to terrify the world into total submission before the collapse. Those who say that the return of Christ is far out into the future, are in effect, atheists. They simply don't believe that God will literally intervene ever. And here's the deal, far out into the future, the human race will be long dead. There would be nothing for Christ to return to. The scoffers should just quit playing church and admit that they're non-believers. And if they don't like that option, then they had better get their act together, or they'll end up in the Church of Laodicea, serving the antichrist.
Timeline of Events (Revelation)
Revelation tells us of the final 3 ½ year-Tribulation, the 2nd Coming of Christ, the Lord's one thousand year reign on earth, and the unveiling of the New Heaven and Earth. The Tribulation begins suddenly with the unleashing of satan's wrath, the flight of the Church of Philadelphia and other Christians into the Wilderness, and the appearance of the two witnesses. The Tribulation could begin at any time. Everything is in place. The great falling away has already occurred with once Christian Europe now militantly secular and trending moslem, and once Christian America now a combination of militant secularism and the absurd, contradictory religion of "judeo-christianity", which elevates "Israel" above Christ and His Church. The beast system of God hatred and warmongering already exists. Satan is ready to attack. The Great Tribulation begins when God says so. America Gives Birth to the Beast The American NWO presidents, from bush sr. to even trump are successively fulfilling their role as precursors of the antichrist.
bush sr.'s vision of a New World Order was of a unipolar world with the Western globalist elites, under Washington D.C.'s leadership, as the single pole of power. The US, which is the muscle behind this new world order, has bullied the world ever since. It is interesting that bush sr. gave his "Toward a New World Order" speech to a joint session of Congress on September 11, 1990. (Note: Washington D.C. was originally called Rome. Its freemasonic design includes an obelisk or male sexual organ - Washington Monument, and a dome or pregnant belly - the Capital Building, both based on the Vatican. Washington D.C. is the capital of the New Antediluvian Empire (pre-flood - "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.") 911 and the New World Order Enemies of Civilization The enemies of civilization are many. Counted among the enemy are the following:
The enemies of civilization are strong. The defenders of civilization are anemic. The prognosis is not good. Outline of Revelation: Revelation 1 - 3 Seven churches which are in Asia
Revelation 4 and 5 God the Father on His throne (non-literal imagery for no one has ever seen the Father - John 1:18)
Revelation 6 Seal One - the white horse
Seal Two - the red horse
Seal Three - the black horse
Seal Four - the pale horse
Seal Five - Christ's martyrs cry out for judgment Seal Six - God's anger unleashed on the earth Seal Seven - (Rev. 8) The seven angels and the seven trumpets Revelation 7 - Sealing of the 144,000 Evangelists There will be 12,000 symbolically chosen from each of the 12 tribes of ancient Israel. (The real number was 13, but ancient Hebrews liked the number 12. Just like the 12 Apostles; there were actually 15 Apostles including Paul, and Jesus' brothers James and Jude.) But don't expect the evangelists to be Jewish. Those who call themselves "Jews" aren't actual Hebrews; they reject Christ, and are His enemies. In fact, all 13 ancient tribes of Israel have been lost to history. None of them exist anymore. Today's Ashkenazis, who call themselves "Jews", are frauds and phonies, being Khazar, Slavic, Germanic, Turkish, etc. There aren't any real Hebrews left. Some of the Palestinians and a few others probably have traces of Hebrew blood, but that's about it. Revelation 8 and 9 Trumpet One - hail and fire - ⅓ of trees and grass burned Trumpet Two - burning mountain-like object cast into the sea - ⅓ of the sea becomes blood Eventually, the whole sea dies; Rev. 16:3 Trumpet Three - the star Wormwood falls to earth - ⅓ of land water becomes bitter (all of these first few trumpets may be from nuclear disaster - maybe Fukushima and other nuclear events whether from power plants or missiles) Trumpet Four - ⅓ of the sun, moon and stars smitten (pollution haze causes the sky to become dark?) Trumpet Five - hornets unleashed from the bottomless pit, led by the demon Apollyon, torment the unsealed for five months (All five of the first Trumpets, together, seem to make up the First Woe -- the three Woes are mentioned in Rev. 9:12 and 11:14) Some believe that these hornets are the demonic spirits of the antediluvian nephilim, who have been imprisoned since the Flood. The book of Enoch says of them:‘The giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth…Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin…And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, attack, do battle, and work destruction upon the earth…And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them…This shall they destroy until the day of consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be consummated over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly consummated. And now as to the Watchers…Say to them therefore: Ye have no peace.’
Trumpet Six - Unleashes the armies of the East - kill ⅓ of men Note: Pale Horse kills ¼. Leaves 75%. Armies of the east kill ⅓;. In addition to all the other deaths, less than 50% of pre-trib population still alive.
Trumpet Seven - (Rev. 11:15) The Second Coming Revelation 10 Mighty Angel - Christ Himself But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 11 Measuring the Temple And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. -
Matthew Henry provides excellent commentary:
The Two Witnesses (The Second Woe) - Testify for 1260 days (The 3 ½ years leading to the Second Coming) -
The two witnesses are not Elijah and Moses or Elijah and Enoch. As John the Baptist was the Elijah of the First Coming, so two men of this era will be the Elijah of the Second Coming. They may or may not yet be aware of those roles. Neither one is Jewish. Expect there to be many false witnesses. The true Witnesses will stand in unholy Jerusalem (Sodom), and will be empowered by God the Holy Spirit to wreak havoc.
Revelation 12 Mary - symbol of the Church Michael fights Satan Michael expels Satan from Heaven Satan goes into a fierce rage Satan attacks Mary Mary delivered to the Wilderness for 1260 days (The 3 ½ years leading to the Second Coming). Why does satan attack Mary with such rage? Because Mary includes those Christians that the devil sees as the most dangerous to his rule, in particular, the two witnesses, the 144,000 evangelists, and anyone associated with them, such as their families. The two witnesses and the 144,000 evangelists, however, will leave the rest of Mary and go into the world to do battle.
Revelation 13 The first beast The beast is not a man, but the empire of Satan. The beast has seven heads because the beast has expressed itself as seven different kingdoms. Since the geography of the Bible is Israel-centric, these kingdoms are those that ruled over the tribes of Israel or the land of Israel during Biblical times. For instance, the Ottoman Empire ruled over the Middle East and those Khazar fake Jews living there, but did not rule over real Hebrews during the Biblical era. Hence, it cannot be one of the seven heads. Moreover, the Biblical era is not limited to the times of Moses, the Prophets, and the Apostles. The 21st Century AD Great Tribulation is also part of the Biblical era. Therefore, the seven heads or kingdoms of the beast are these: Egypt (which ruled the Hebrews prior to the exodus and which ruled the lowlands of Canaan during the period of the Judges), Assyria (which conquered northern Israel and dominated southern Israel), Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and the United States/New World Order (which is financially and militarily intermingled with Israel - America finances and dominates Israel, while Khazar fake Jew billionaires/maybe trillionaires finance and dominate American politicians). The seventh head, or the NWO, is wounded as unto death, but will then revive. This near death will be due to some disaster, whether military or economic, from which the NWO beast will recover. This writer believes that the near death is the coming explosion and break out of WW3 that will threaten the existence of all life on earth. The second beast The second beast is world religion, including a perverted form of Christianity. It's primary leader will likely be "pope" Francis (or a successor). His chief lieutenants will likely include such clowns as Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, John Hagee, various moslem imams and ayatollahs, fake Jewish rabbis, including the so-called messianic rabbis, new age goofballs, Southern Baptist goofballs (and this writer is Southern Baptist) such as little Russell Moore, the dalai lama, and so on. (Honestly, it's just plain embarrassing that anyone would follow these hucksters. People have gotten really undiscerning.) As Matthew Henry said, "God will have a temple and an altar in the world, till the end of time... Those in the outer court, worship in a false manner, or with dissembling hearts, and will be found among his enemies." Revelation 14 The Lamb and the 144,000 Babylon (Jerusalem) * is fallen Bloody war outside, but near Jerusalem Revelation 15 and 16 Vial One - Noisome and grievous sores Vial Two - The sea dies Vial Three - Inland waters become blood
Vial Four - The sun scorches men with great heat (may be intense solar flares which the modern electrical/electronic infrastructure cannot withstand) Vial Five - The kingdom of antichrist filled with darkness (the American electrical grid goes down permanently?) Vial Six - Kings of the East - Armageddon (compare Trumpet Six) - Revelation does not fully explain the nature of the Battle of Armageddon in terms of its causes and the motives of the combatants. There are those who believe that the "kings of the east" go to war against the antichrist in an act of rebellion (pagan China vs. pagan America). As such, Satan loses control over his kingdom. Revelation 16:13-14 seems to indicate, however, that Satan, the Beast and the False Prophet draw all these world forces together in a last stand against Christ (Rev. 19:19). Thus, the forces of the East are allied with the Western NWO against the Lord. Vial Seven - The Final Judgment Revelation 17 The judgment of the Great Whore (* identified in note below) The Beast will kill the Whore The 17th chapter tells us, "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." At this point, the ten kings cannot be clearly identified. Revelation 18 Babylon/Jerusalem cast into the sea Revelation 19 Second Coming of Christ (The Third Woe). The Lord Jesus Christ returns in all His divine glory. He conquers the world and slays evil. The Beast and the False Prophet are cast into the Lake of Fire Revelation 20 Satan bound The Millennial Reign Satan released Satan cast into the Lake of Fire Great White Throne Judgment Death and Hell cast into the Lake of Fire Revelation 21 New Heaven and Earth * The Great Whore, also known as Babylon, is Jerusalem and the anti-Christ Judaic system
Revelation describes the fate of the Whore:
Timeline of Events (Matthew 24) Matthew 24 largely address the destruction of Jerusalem and was partially fulfilled in 70 AD. There is difficulty, however, in interpreting the 24th chapter of Matthew because it speaks of both the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Coming. The synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) were written in the 50s AD. For the Jewish writers pre-70 AD, the destruction of the Temple was the end of the world. They could not distinguish the two events of which the Lord spoke. There was a dual fulfillment of this passage that they could not yet understand. Jesus begins with the events of 70 AD when He says of Herod's temple, "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." (BTW, today's "Wailing Wall" is a remnant of a Roman fortress, not Herod's temple, which was annihilated.) When Jesus spoke further: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:" He is speaking firstly of 70 AD. The abomination of which the Lord speaks occurred under the Zealot leader John of Gischala. The Jews, themselves, defiled the Temple. The Romans would subsequently crush the Zealot rebellion and destroy Jerusalem. The Lord was warning the people to flee. Because these events would occur in 70 AD, some 40 years after Jesus made the prophecy, He could say in v. 34, "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Yet, there would be a future abomination in the temple of the Church, when organized Christianity (the church of Laodicea) would turn to antichrist (2 Thes 2:4). It would be in those latter days that "... then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." And when Jesus said "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be", He is speaking of His Second Coming. Note: The term of Son of Man is a reference to Dan 7:13, which describes the Son of Man, Who is Jesus, appearing before the Ancient of Days, God the Father. Timeline of Events (Daniel 9) The first half of the 70th week of Daniel was the ministry of Jesus on earth. The second half is the Great Tribulation of the Book of Revelation. During the 70th week, Christ initiated the New Covenant with many, died for our sins, and in so doing put an end to the system of temple sacrifice. The Jews rejected Him. Within one generation, the Jews, themselves, would defile the temple, and cause the destruction of Jerusalem. As punishment for rejecting Christ, the Romans were sent to destroy them. Like Matthew 24, Daniel 9 conflates events of 70 AD with the end. Daniel 9:27 states: And he [Jesus] shall confirm the covenant [New Testament] with many [all peoples] for one week [from the time of the announcement until the end of the age]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease [with His final sacrifice on the Cross], and for the overspreading of abominations [committed by the Jews, themselves, when they rejected Christ, and a generation later, committed sacrilege in the Temple] he shall make it desolate [in 70 AD], even until the consummation [the end of the age], and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate [the Second Coming]. The 70 weeks of years begin in 457 BC with Artaxerxes' Commission to Ezra. The mid-point of week 70 falls about 31 AD when Jesus put an end to Temple sacrifices with His final sacrifice on the Cross. The second half of the 70th week must now be explained because there is a gap between the two halves (a gap between the Cross and the end of history). If there had been no gap, world history would have come to an end in 34 or 35 AD. The gap between the first half of Daniel's 70th week and the second half is roughly 2000 years. As noted, the first half consisted of Jesus' ministry of 3 plus years that ended with His sacrifice on the Cross and Resurrection. The second three and ½ years of Daniel's 70th week is fulfilled during the three and ½ year Great Tribulation of Revelation (indicated by Revelation as 1260 days or 42 months). Notice that Jesus makes the temple desolate from 70 AD until the 2nd Coming. This indicates that the "Jewish" temple is not rebuilt during the Great Tribulation. Those who say that they are Jews, but are not (khazars), will try to rebuild it. But I believe that the two witnesses will be empowered to stop them. They will stand guard on Temple Mount, and like Elijah, will have the power to rain down fire from heaven.
