Revelation 15 Part 3: Praise and Worship

2/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Oh, how the Lord loves songs!
Heaven is filled
with praise and worship -
it’s characteristic
to the Temple of God.

“This great choir sang a wonderful new song
in front of the throne of God
and before the four living beings
and the twenty-four elders.
No one could learn this song
except the 144,000
who had been redeemed from the earth.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:3
‬

“And they were singing the song of Moses,
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb:
“Great and marvelous are your works,
O Lord God, the Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous deeds
have been revealed.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:3-4‬

The song of Moses
is found in Deuteronomy 32,
and it was written by the Lord
right after He told Moses
he was about to die.

“And the Lord appeared to Joshua and Moses
in a pillar of cloud that stood
at the entrance to the sacred tent.
The Lord said to Moses,
“You are about to die
and join your ancestors.
After you are gone,
these people will begin
to worship foreign gods,
the gods of the land
where they are going.
They will abandon me
and break my covenant
that I have made with them.
Then my anger
will blaze forth against them.
I will abandon them,
hiding my face from them,
and they will be devoured.
Terrible trouble
will come down on them,
and on that day they will say,
‘These disasters
have come down on us
because God is no longer among us!’
At that time
I will hide my face from them
on account of all the evil they commit by worshiping other gods.”
“So write down the words of this song,
and teach it to the people of Israel.
Help them learn it,
so it may serve as a witness
for me against them.
For I will bring them into the land
I swore to give their ancestors--
a land flowing with milk and honey.
There they will become prosperous,
eat all the food they want,
and become fat.
But they will begin to worship
other gods; they will despise me
and break my covenant.
And when great disasters
come down on them,
this song will stand
as evidence against them,
for it will never be forgotten
by their descendants.
I know the intentions of these people,
even now before they have entered

the land I swore to give them.”
So that very day Moses
wrote down the words of the song
and taught it to the Israelites.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:15-22‬

God’s Word NEVER returns void!

I pray the Lord
would reach to the ends of the earth
and pull His people back into His bosom.

I pray for every Israelite to return home.

I pray for the advancement of God’s kingdom
and I stand on the promise
that God’s Will will be done.

I pray for every Gentile
who does not know the Lord.

I pray they would look up
and stop being prodigal sons.

I pray for the Church,
the Body of Christ,
that they would be
the two witnesses of God.

​And I sing Maranatha
as I prepare my heart and my mind
for the Day of the Lord.

Revelation 15 Part 2: Eagle Eye Recap

2/26/2022

0 Comments

Before going on
to the next passage in Chapter 15,
I have to go back and reprocess
what John said in Chapter 14 -
and even before!
It sounds to me like 144,000 Jews,
who come straight out Israel’s sons
(two from Joseph, with the exclusion of Dan)
will honor the Law of Moses,
give testimony to Christ and be martyred.
But this will only happen after Jerusalem
is trampled for 42 months.

For 42 months, or 1,260 days,
or 3 and a half years
(all equal the same amount of time)
God will give power to His two witnesses,
which I believe to be exactly
what the scripture says,
“the two lamp-stands”
who have nothing against them.

The two lampstands are described
as the two churches without blemish
in the Book of Revelation.

The Church, the pure Body of Christ
that stands without blemish,
will obey Gods law
as the way to persevere -
and they will lay down their life
and choose to suffer
as they sacrifice themselves
following in the footsteps of Christ.

These two prophets
are the two olive trees
and the two lampstands
that stand before the Lord
of all the earth.

At the end of their testimony,
at God’s appointed time,
Satan will come up from his bottomless pit,
and wage war against them.

Scripture says the Antichrist will
conquer and kill them
for 42 months, or 1260 days,
or 3 and a half years -
(which equals the same amount of time).

It will appear as if
their bodies and spirits are dead;
the people who belong to this world
will gloat over them
and give presents to each other
to celebrate the death
of the two prophets
who had tormented them.

But after three and a half days
from the day they are killed -
God will breathe life into them,
and they will rise up and stand.

Just like Christ,
their bodies will be resurrected.

Just like Christ,
they will return from the dead.

Terror will strike those
who look upon them,
and they will hear a loud voice from heaven
tell them to ascend.

People will watch
as the two witnesses of God,
the lamp-stand churches
who are Christ’s perfect reflection,
ascend into Heaven.

At this time,
some people will gain
a healthy fear of the Lord
and be terrified by His presence.
They will turn from their evil ways
and give glory to the God of heaven.
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭11:13‬

By the way - I LOVE how God
always leaves a remnant!

Then,
after the rapture of God’s people,
war will break out in Heaven,
which will also be carried out on earth.

The Antichrist will rise from the Sea,
the His prophet will point people to him.

People across the globe
will be subject to his dictatorship rule.

They will not be allowed
to participate in the world’s economy
without putting on the mark of the beast.

The beast will be allowed
to speak great blasphemies against God.
And will be given authority
to do whatever he wants
for forty-two months, 1260 days,
or three and a half years
(which equals the same amount of time).

Notice the Great Tribulation equals 7 full years -
3.5 during great prophecy
and 3.5 after the rising of the beast.

The Antichrist will speak
terrible words against God,
slandering His name
and those who dwell in heaven.

God will allow
the Antichrist to wage war against Israel,
and he will be allowed to conquer them.

As a result, people across the globe
will begin to hate Israel.
And at the same time,
Israel will return to their home.

Scripture says,
These followers of Satan
are not written in the Book of Life
that belongs to the Lamb
who was slaughtered
before the world was made.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:8

This mean that some people
are created by God who do not have
an eternal life with Him
in the New Jerusalem.

It means God is sovereign!

Anyone who is destined for prison
will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die by the sword
will die by the sword.
God’s holy people
must endure persecution
patiently and remain faithful
even to the point of death.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:10‬

There are some wars
we are not meant to fight.
Instead of kicking and screaming,
we are called to remain still,
seek God and speak the God's Honest Truth!

Jesus and His special possession,
the 144,000 messianic Jews
will stand victoriously on Mount Zion.
At the end of 7 years,
Babylon will fall,
the Antichrist will be brought down
- but it will come with a price.

“Blessed are those
who die in the Lord from now on.
Yes, says the Spirit,
they are blessed indeed,
for they will rest from their hard work;
for their good deeds follow them!”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:13‬

Jesus will come and swing his mighty sword,
and blood will be shed everywhere across the globe!

It will be like the days of Noah.
But instead of a water flood,
we will drown in the blood.

“The grapes were trampled
in the winepress outside the city,
and blood flowed from the winepress
in a stream about 180 miles long
and as high as a horse’s bridle.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:20‬

And right before God pours out
His bowls of deadly plagues,
a sea of people will stand in Heaven,
on the altar of God,
and sing the song of Moses,
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb.

“Great and marvelous
are your works, O Lord God,
the Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous deeds
have been revealed.”

Revelation 15:3-4

Why the song of Moses and
the song of the Lamb?

Could this event
be related to the exodus?

Does the Revelation
given by God to Jesus to share with the Apostle John,
explain the true mysteries of God?

Does this Revelation
tell us how we will be redeemed?

Does the Revelation
explain how God breaks the satanic stronghold
which frees us from his bondage?

Does the Revelation
walk us through the wilderness
and bring us to God’s Holy Mountain?

Does the Revelation
show us what God’s purpose
has been all along?

Is there a promised land?
A land free from
demonic activity and captivity -
A land that flows with milk and honey?

The more I read the more I understand.
God has always had a redemption plan!

Thank you, Jesus,
​for this eagle view's understanding.

Revelation 15 Part 1: Opposite and Extreme

2/26/2022

Hey Christian, listen to this -

After Jesus cuts off
the cluster of grapes
from the vines of the earth
who are ripe for judgement,
He will then load them
into the winepress of God’s wrath,
and trample upon them
outside the city gates
until there is a river of blood
that flows about 4 feet high
and 180 miles long.

Can you imagine
what it will be like
to see that much blood
covering the earth?

It will feel like the days of Noah,
but instead of water
coming from everywhere
there will be such intense violence
that it will feel like it will never stop.

Then, after we experience
the wine press of God’s wrath,
people will die
from the seven last plagues.

And this will bring about
the completion of God’s wrath.

When this happens,
the people who love Christ,
will be given a harp by God.

They will sing the song of Moses,
the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your works,
O Lord God, the Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous deeds
have been revealed.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:1-4‬

If you are anything like me,
then you may be thinking
that these two events
seem highly opposed and majorly extreme.

On the one hand,
God will cause people
who bow down to Satan
to die a violent bloody death
during a Great War.

On the other hand,
the people of God
who reside inside the Temple Court
will sing harmoniously,
in perfect union, giving thanks
for the Lord’s all-consuming wrath.

We must remember that in this world
there are really only two types of people:
the people of God and those who are not.

In God’s eyes
we are not divided by race,
nor are we divided by countries,
nationalities or different languages.
We are divided by only one thing -
those who fear God
and those who do not.

And, according to scripture,
the division that exists
is completely opposite and majorly extreme!

Revelation 14 Part 3: The Day of the Lord

2/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today I get the privilege
to write about the coming of the Lord.
The angels announce it right after
the seventh trumpet is blown.
And the prophet Joel also wrote about it
sometime between 835 - 796 BC

to the people of Israel and to all later readers 
of the Instruction Book of God.

John said,

“I saw another angel
flying through the sky,
carrying the eternal Good News
to proclaim to the people
who belong to this world -
to every nation, tribe and language"

“Fear God,” he shouted.
“Give glory to him.
For the time has come
when he will sit as judge.
Worship him who made the heavens,
the earth, the sea,
and all the springs of water.”

Then another angel

followed him through the sky, shouting,
“Babylon is fallen -

that great city is fallen -
because she made
all the nations of the world
drink the wine
of her passionate immorality.”

Then a third angel followed them, shouting,
“Anyone who worships

the beast and his statue
or who accepts his mark
on the forehead or on the hand
must drink the wine of God’s anger.
It has been poured
full strength into God’s cup of wrath.
And they will be tormented
with fire and burning sulfur
in the presence of the holy angels
and the Lamb.
The smoke of their torment
will rise forever and ever,
and they will have no relief
day or night,
for they have worshiped
the beast and his statue
and have accepted the mark
of his name.”

This means that God’s holy people
must endure persecution patiently,
obeying his commands
and maintaining their faith in Jesus.

And I heard a voice from heaven 
saying,
“Write this down:  
Blessed are those
who die in the Lord from now on.
Yes, says the Spirit,
they are blessed indeed,
for they will rest from their hard work;
for their good deeds follow them!”
Then I saw a white cloud,
and seated on the cloud
was someone like the Son of Man.
He had a gold crown on his head
and a sharp sickle in his hand."


Then another angel 
came from
the Temple of God

and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud,
“Swing the sickle,

for the time of harvest has come;
the crop on earth is ripe.”

So the one sitting on the cloud

swung his sickle over the earth,
and the whole earth was harvested.

After that, another angel

came from the Temple in heaven,
and he also had a sharp sickle.

Then another angel,

who had power to destroy with fire,
came from the altar.
He shouted to the angel
with the sharp sickle,
“Swing your sickle now
to gather the clusters of grapes
from the vines of the earth,
for they are ripe for judgment.”

So the angel swung his sickle
over the earth and loaded the grapes
into the great winepress of God’s wrath.
The grapes were trampled
in the winepress outside the city,
and blood flowed from the winepress
in a stream about 180 miles long
and as high as a horse’s bridle.
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:6-20‬

This passage represents
the great and terrible
Day of the Lord!

There is nothing in scripture
more clear than this.
Don't you realize how important it is
​to 
share the Good News of Christ?

Revelation 14 Part 2: Pre or Post-Tribulation Rapture

2/21/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Follow along -
I have a question about whether or not
the "Rapture" is Pre or Post-Tribulation.

From what I've read,
after John saw
the mighty angel come to earth
and stand with one foot on the Sea
and one foot on the Land,
John saw the two witnesses
prophesy in the land 
figuratively called Sodom or Egypt -
a land that contains a people
who sin and rebel against God.

Then John saw,
the two witness get murdered,
and after three and half days,
John saw God breathe life
back into their bodies,
and they stood and were raised.

So, my question is this -
If the two witnesses
are the true Body of Christ
who represent the Smyrna
and Philadelphia Church,
then is this what is called the Rapture?

This rapture takes place
before the Seventh Trumpet is blown,
and when the seventh trumpet is blown,
loud voices in heaven
declare that the world is now
the Kingdom of the Lord
and Christ will reign forever and ever.

It appears to me that God’s people
will be on the earth,
while Jesus opens the seven seals
from the scroll that sits
in the right hand of God.
And it appears God’s people
will still be around
while the angels blow the 6 trumpets
that make a great sound.

And then
before the Seventh trumpet is blown,
there is a resurrection and ascension
of the two witnesses -
the faithful and true testimony of Christ -
the two olive trees and the and lamp stands
that stand before the throne room of God.

It appears this is the event that represents
the first rapture of the Body of Christ,
this is when the dead come to life
and raise up to heaven.

This happens
before God's Day of Judgment comes.
It happens before the Temple of God
in heaven is opened
and the Ark of his covenant is seen
inside the Temple.

For some reason, Jesus also showed John 
the ancient serpent,
who has been the ruler of this World.

John also saw the woman give birth
to the Seed that that was promised
in Genesis 3:15.

John saw the dragon
try to snatch the child away,
but watched God take him
up into His Heavenly Throne.
John saw the woman run for her life,
the dragon was super angry
and he wanted to kill her.

John watched God provide
a hiding place for her in the wilderness
where He would care for her
for 1,260 days (3 and a half months).
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:6‬

John was given eyes to see
a great war in Heaven,
between the demonic army of Satan
and the angelic army of God.

John saw the dragon lose the battle
and watched him and his angels
be forced out of heaven.
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:7-8‬

John saw the dragon (Satan)
pursue the woman (Israel)
who had given birth to the male child (Jesus).

Israel was given two wings
like those of a great eagle
so she could fly to the place
prepared for her in the wilderness.

Israel was protected from Satan 
for a time, times, and half a time
(3 and a half years).
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:13-14‬

Satan was so angry at the woman
that he declared war
against the rest of her children -
all who keep God’s commandments
and maintain their testimony for Jesus.

John then saw two beasts -
one coming out of the Sea
and one coming out of the Earth.
The fist beast is known as the Antichrist,
the one who is allowed to speak
great blasphemies against God;
the one who will be given authority
to do whatever he wants
for forty-two months
(3 and a half years).
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:5
‬
The scripture says that the Antichrist
will be allowed to wage war
against God’s holy people
and will be given authority
to rule over them.
He will be given authority
over the whole world -
and there will be many people
who worship this man. 

John said,
“They are the ones
whose names were not written
in the Book of Life
that belongs to the Lamb
who was slaughtered
before the world was made.”

Then John says,
Anyone with ears to hear
should listen and understand.
Anyone who is destined for prison
will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die by the sword
will die by the sword.

This means that God’s holy people
must patiently endure persecution
and remain faithful.
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:7-10‬

So, once again,
is the rapture pre or post tribulation?

John said when the Antichrist
and his prophet come,
they will attack the people of God
and God’s children will be imprisoned
and die by the Sword.

This means there will be a remnant,
children of God who keep God's Word alive.

 John saw the Lamb of God
standing on Mount Zion,
and with him were 144,000
who had his name and his Father’s name
written on their foreheads.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:1‬

These 144,000 messianic Jews
are direct descendants from the 12 tribes of Israel
and they kept themselves as pure as virgins,
​following the Lamb wherever he goes.

These Israelites are very special -
they were purchased
from among the people on the earth
as a special offering to God and to the Lamb.
They have told no lies; they are without blame.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:4-5‬

Tomorrow I will move on
to the Coming of the Lord!
What a great and terrible day
that will be!

Revelation Chapter 14 Part 1: The Spotless Bride

2/20/2022

Picture
John saw Jesus, the Lamb of God,
standing on Mount Zion,
God’s Holy Mountain,
and with him were the 144,000
who had the name of Jesus
and God our Father
written on their foreheads.

I believe these 144,000
are the same 144,000 people
who were sealed by the Holy Spirit
from the 12 tribes of Israel
as described in Chapter 7
in between Jesus
breaking the sixth and seventh seals.

Scripture says
an angel will come up
from east of Jerusalem
carrying the seal of the living God
and He will place the seal of God
on the foreheads of his 144,000 servants.

I wonder if this will be like when
Jesus came over the Mount of Olives
from East of Jerusalem to stake His claim?

I wonder if the 144,000 servants
who are seen with Jesus
standing on Mountain Zion
after the seventh trumpet is blown
is a sign that the world is now
the Kingdom of the Lord?

Is this the sign
of the official Day of the Lord?

Is this the day when Jesus
will judge the whole world?

Scripture says,
At this time there will be a new song
from the 144,000 who have been redeemed.

They will sing a new song
because they have kept themselves
as pure as virgins,
following the Lamb wherever he goes.
They have been purchased
from among the people on the earth
as a special offering to God
and to the Lamb.

According to scripture,
these 144,000 Messianic Jews are spotless
and have told no lies;
they will be fully without blame.

Can you imagine
how beautiful that pure remnant will be?

The Lord is faithful
and always keeps his promise.
Now He is waiting patiently for His Bride.

Revelation 13 Part 3:  God's Remnant

2/17/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Did you know
the Lamb of God was slain
before God created the world?

It is true.

This is what God said to Jesus
who told John told in Revelation 13.

It’s crazy to think that God the Father,

Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit
exist outside of space and time.

Humans have

such a limited understanding.
It’s hard for me
to even wrap my head around it.

I guess that is where faith comes in.

Christ is more than a man.

He is the Lamb of God
who died for our sin even before 
we committed it.

If this is true,

then why did God move forward
with creating Adam and Eve?

Is it possible that is WHY
God put the Tree of Knowledge
in the Garden of Eden?

Was His intent 
to give humans
the choice 
to love Him?

Was He looking for a slave,

or was He looking for the real thing?

God had to have known

that there was the possibility
that man could turn their heart away.

Is that He have man free will

right from the very beginning?
Is that why He allowed Satan
into the Garden?

Has the purpose of Satan

always been the same?
Has Satan always been

the Spirit of Temptation?
Is this where Lawlessness comes from?

If God knew

that Adam and Eve would fall
then why, oh why,
did He create people at all?

Well, I could go through the Bible
and pour out on paper 
God’s amazing wisdom
with all these questions -
because they are answered
in His Book of Instruction.
But right now
I have to get ready for work -
so I’m going to keep it short.

Throughout the history of man,

God has always left a remnant.
A small group of sinful people
who stay loyal and faithful to Him.

The remnant is called the elect.

The elect represent the true Jew -
the true Jew has existed
even before

the nation of Judah was formed.

The true Jew is a child of God,

a citizen of Heaven.
A true Jew is a person
who knows God,
not just in passing but in heart.
A true Jew is a person
who chooses God even over themselves.

A true Jew is a person
who loves God with their whole heart.

A true Jew is not a slave to the flesh.
A true Jew is person who trusts God
more than they trust themselves.

A true Jew represents

people like Abel;
a man who knew the desire
of God’s heart.

A true Jew represents

people like Seth and Enosh;
men who worshipped the Lord by name.

The list of people

who are true Jews goes on and on.
From Enoch to Lamech to Noah,
Abraham and Sarah were called out.

Abraham became

the father of many nations,
and from God’s promise,
Issac was born.

Isaac birthed twins, Esau and Jacob.

Jacob was spiritually strong,
and he wrestled with the Lord.
Jacob won.
He bowed down
and gave his life to the Lord.

The Lord changed Jacob’s name.

Jacob became Israel,
and Israel had 12 sons.
The 12 sons strayed, like all of mankind,
but God was faithful and made a way.

God always leaves a remnant -

this is how He keeps His Word alive.

Moses was made into a man

who heard the Word of the Lord,
and with Aaron as his side,
he spoke it against Egypt,
and told the King to set them free.

The Israelites were miraculously delivered

from that captivity.
The Red Sea was split,
and the 12 tribes of Jacob
wandered through the wilderness,
their only hope was to follow God.

God supplied food from Heaven,

and His fire and the cloud led the way.

The Israelites were driven

into the Promised Land
by the Holy Spirit.

Moses died,

and Joshua was raised up -
to be a prophet of the Lord.

God would always find a way

to deliver His message
and everyone who loved Him
found a way to follow it.

Over time, ten tribes

split off from Judah -
These 10 tribes were called
“The Northern Kingdom.”

But God’s Word

stayed where He put it.
His Word stayed in Jerusalem
with King David, the King of Judah.

You see,

The remnant exists
for a moment in time
to keep God’s Word active and alive.

The remnant exists

because God is faithful to us,
and His Word is His promise.

Hebrews 11 lists many people

who have been a part of
God’s faithful remnant.

When you get a chance,
I encourage you to go and read it.

The history of man has a purpose -

It’s to squeeze out the people of God,
the elect -
the people who were saved
even before the earth was made.

The Lamb of God

is the only one worthy
to lay down His life as a living sacrifice,
and He gave it even before

we were conceived.

This is my testimony -

the testimony of Jesus!

The Lamb of God

was slain for my redemption.

​Hallelujah

Revelation 13 Part 2: Two Beasts

2/16/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Did you know that in Chapter 13,
John sees TWO beasts?

One comes out of the sea,

and one comes out of the earth.

The beast from the sea
is totally deformed,
it has seven heads and ten horns,
and is given all authority by Satan,
the being who opposes God.


The Beast from the Sea
is commonly known to be
the Antichrist.

The second beast is described

as having two horns like those of a lamb,
but he will speak with the voice of a dragon.

The Beast of the Earth
will exercise
with all the authority
that is given to the Beast of the Sea.

He will require all the earth

and its people
to worship the first beast,
and they will listen
because they will be impressed

by the fatal wound that is healed.

The second beast will do
astounding miracles,
like making fire flash down
to earth from the sky
while everyone is watching.

And with all the miracles
that he is allowed to perform
on behalf of the first beast, 
the Beast of the Earth
will deceive all the people

who belong to the world.

The Beast of the Earth will order

the worldly people
to make a great statue of Satan,
who will be fatally wounded
and then will come back to life.

The Beast of the Earth
will then then be permitted

to give life to this statue
so that it can speak.

Then the statue will command
that anyone
refusing to worship this idol
must die.

He will require everyone -
small and great, rich and poor,
free and slave -
to be given the mark of Satan
on the right hand
or on the forehead.

When this happens
no one will be able
to buy or to sell
anything
without that mark.
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:11-18‬

Could the Sea be the sin

that separates mankind from God?
Could the Sea be the void
where Chaos and Disorder live?

Could the first beast

come from this forsaken place?
Apparently, not everyone is unforsaken
as many like to think.

Is the Antichrist

the opposing spirit to God?
Is the Antichrist
the actual Son of Satan?

Is the Antichrist conceived
from his spirit of Satan?

Does he come from the womb
of an unbetrothed woman -
a woman whose heart
is not connected to God?

I mean, God is a Trinity -

three persons in One.

Is it possible that there is a Trinity

that stands in opposition to God?

Does the Father of All Lies,

have his own beloved son?

Does the ancient serpent

have an Unholy Spirit of his own?

Is the Antichrist

the actual spawn of Satan?

Will his birth mock the birth of Christ?

Will he be born into wealth,

and given a worldly kingdom to own?

Is that why Paul
said
to the Thessalonians,
Don’t be fooled.
Because lawlessness is already here?

Is the antichrist spirit already at work?


I mean God’s Holy Spirit

was ever present
before the actual birth of Christ.
But it the heavenly realm,
the Lamb of God
had already laid down his life.

He was just waiting patiently

for the appointed time
when God would carry it out.

God is sovereign.

In fact, the end of this earth
and His Heaven is already over.
God is outside of space and time.
He has already created
the New Jerusalem.

There is a City of Peace
where the true Jews go,
they live on the mountain top
of Mount Zion.


In this world, we will see

a great rebellion against God.
In fact, there are antichrist spirits
already at work.

Just know

that the man of lawlessness
will be revealed in God's time.

This New King of Babylon,
will exalt himself and defy everything
that people
call god
and every object of worship.


This man will calls himself “Christ,”

He will sit in the temple of God,
claiming that he himself is God.

Fellow believers-

Do not be fooled, and do not worry!
When the Antichrist is finally revealed,
the Lord Jesus will slay him
with the breath of his mouth.

Don’t be fooled by counterfeit power
and signs and miracles.
Just hold onto the truth
found in the Word of God.

The Bible is the scroll
that God left for us.
It contains the message
of God's eternal hope.

Read the Bible
before it is taken away

by the global power
like it has been already been
taken away
in the nation of China.


Tie the Word of God

around your neck like a necklace.
Put His Word into your heart,
and guard it!

The Day of the Lord is coming soon.

Have your oil ready, and be anointed
by the
Holy Spirit.

Do not let the antichrist spirits
find your vessel empty.

Revelation 13 Part 1: His Life Book

2/14/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
I can’t imagine
how John must have felt
when his spirit went to Heaven
and he saw what he wrote
in Revelation 13.

It had to be quite frightening,
and super overwhelming!

John saw a beast
rising up out of the sea.
The beast had seven heads and ten horns,
with ten crowns on its horns.

Written on each head

were names that blasphemed God!

I wonder

what the names actually were?
Could they have been
“Pride,” “Liar,” “Murder,” “Evildoer,”
“Wrong,” “Falsehood,” 
and “Discord”
as described in 
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:17-19‬?

This beast is described as looking like a leopard,

but having the feet of a bear 
and the mouth of a lion.

How could the beast have seven heads,

but only have one mouth like a lion?

It just does not make sense.
How do ten horns
come out of seven heads?
The beast sounds 
absolutely deformed!


Does the head represent seven nations?
Do the horns reflect their abundant power?


The scripture says,
“And the dragon gave the beast
his own power and throne 

and great authority.”


So, the dragon and the beast
are two different beings,
and yet, the beast takes on
the characteristics of the serpent.

The beast must officially be

"The Antichrist."

The beast must represent a distorted
yet powerful 
global power.

John saw
that one of the heads 
was wounded.
In fact, it he says it looked
“wounded beyond repair”
but then the wound
was 
miraculously healed!

This must be
how 
the whole world gets duped -
a wounded nation
“resurrects from the dead.”

Isn’t it like Satan to mimic Jesus -

to bring a whole group of people
back to life again?

The global community will be 
utterly deceived; 
they will marvel at this amazing miracle,
and then give their allegiance to the Antichrist.

The will worship Satan 
for giving the beast his amazing power,
and in doing so, they will also
worship the beast.

According to this awe-full Revelation
that was given to John by the angel of God,
the whole world will one day
bow down to Satan.


Humanity will be 
like the Days of Noah,
when the Lord observed
the extent of human evil on the earth,
and he saw 
that everything
they thought 
or imagined
was consistently 
and totally evil.

The scripture says
the Lord was sorry

he had ever made them
and put them on the earth.
It broke his heart.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:5-6‬

While in the spirit,

John heard the people exclaim
“Who is as great as the beast?”
“Who is able to fight against him?”

Then John saw 
the beast being allowed
to speak great blasphemies against God.

The beast was given authority

to do whatever he pleased
for forty-two months.

I wonder why
God will allow the Antichrist to be born?

Why would God allow this 
creature
to grow 
such powerful heads
and deformed horns?


If the Antichrist is going to speak

terrible words of blasphemy against God
and all those who dwell in heaven with Him,
then why in the hell does God allow
this evil beast to be born?


Why, oh why does the Most High God

allow the beast to have a temporary throne?

Well, the answer is this -
John said the beast was allowed
to wage war 
against God’s holy people
and conquer them because 
those who love Christ
will pick up their cross and follow Him.

Jesus said,
"In this world you will have trouble.”

The word trouble in the Greek
means persecution, affliction,
distress, or tribulation. 
The one who endures without being shaken 
is a true child of God.
We get to prove that we have
th
e same loving heart as him.

Now some would say -

Why would God allow his children
to be enslaved and massacred
if he really loves them?
Why would a good God
allow such an atrocity to ever happen?

How could God sit back
and watch this deformed 
global system
be given authority 
to rule over every tribe,
people, language and tongue?

Why would God allow
the people of the world
to bow down to Satan?

And how could people be so fooled
that they would worship a man
who wears the mark of Satan?

Well, the answer is simple.

“They are the ones whose names were 
NOT written 
in the Book of Life
that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered
before the world was made.”

And there it is.

Not everyone is part of God's elect.
Some humans were not created
as children of God.

We must understand that there is
an established Day of the Lord.

On God’s sovereign timeline,
the minds of people will be in total decay.
And on this day, at the appointed time,
the Lord will bring His judgement down.

This day will look a lot like
God totally being removed
from the human government.
People will throw out the Bible
and stamp their feet upon it.
Christians will be mocked
for adhering to the will of the Holy Spirit,
and because of this those who follow Christ
will absolutely be 
hated.

You see my friend,
Jesus already gave us the warning.
He said this world is not our home.
It never has been.

And yet, people want to continue to pretend
that they can build their kingdom on their own.

The oxygen we currently breath
is going to run out.
It is not going to last.
It's a temporary blessing
while God waits for his elect to be born.

God made a promise
from the beginning of time,
and he continues to remain faithful to it. 

He said, Love the Lord with all your heart
and do not serve any other gods,
and I will always love you.

There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casts out all fear:
and he that fears
is not made 
perfect in love.

Brothers and sisters in Christ -
believe that God is perfect
even when you are not.

He planned every detail of your being 
from the beginning of time -
he even planned for the day
when the Antichrist would live.


God already knows

the members of the elect.
He already knows the saints
who are written into His Life Book.

The Lamb of God was slain
before the earth was even made.
The Lamb of God chose to redeem,
even before God made Adam and Eve.

There has always been a plan!
God is sovereign.
Nothing takes Him by surprise.

“Anyone with ears to hear
should listen and understand.
Anyone who is destined
for prison will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die
by the sword will die by the sword.
This means that God’s holy people
must endure persecution patiently
and remain faithful.”
