![]() ![]() and End Time Follies:
Chicken Little Barbeque If you have been a Christian for several decades you have gone through the "Chicken Little" guessing game for End Time Prophecy. In 1987 it was the Jupiter effect, in 2000 it was Y2K and recently it is prophecies about the year 2012. When things did not turn out quite like expected, some lost much as they responded in drastic ways. An entire congregation moved to a remote location in the southern mountains as a safe haven, selling homes, quitting jobs and waiting for the rapture or the hardship of the tribulation. Less drastic, people have stored guns and food, made underground bunkers or carelessly ran up credit cards, canceled life insurance policies and trusted that the rapture would soon come. Many others who simply trusted the many teachers on radio and television or favorite authors who claimed these signs as urgent and true, were disappointed, but life went on. This was my experience which I believe reflected the majority of my generation at this time. Deaf ears from the Barbeque, yet the Band plays on; Now, many "veteran" Christians in my generation have turned a deaf ear to the hope of Christ's coming because we have a, " been there done that" attitude. A younger generation has not experienced this kind of let down, but I believe they may be set up for the same thing if not careful. Today, there still exists a cottage industry on prophecy seminars, prophecy books and DVD's, prophecy magazines and websites offering survival food and equipment with the latest greatest revelations. The many popular prophecy teachers seem to adjust their notes, back peddle a bit and go on as if nothing was ever wrong, and certainly no accountability on their part for ever being wrong. They continue selling, teaching and speaking the same old assumptions, making adjustments and updates with a large following that keep listening and buying which keeps them in the business. If you dare go against some of this current, it is almost called heresy! I know because I do go against many currents in this fast flowing stream and will continue to do so because I am following Jesus, not man made assumptions. I do not mean to be inflammatory by such a bold statement but there has been much damage done in the name of the Lord and it needs to be addressed. This end time folly needs to be halted before there are more disappointments or at worse case scenario, we miss many events because of assumptions that have turned into doctrines which at best are only a guess. The Hope of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Please don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in having a hopeful expectation for the second coming of Christ. We are told there is a reward for those who long for his appearance. In spite of all that I have seen and experienced in the way of foolish behavior, I still believe I may be alive to see the end of this present age. Yes, The re-establishment of Israel as a Nation started the clock heading toward this end. However, how fast the hands are moving and where they are is simply up for speculation and speculation only. This is where balance and caution should be exercised by all. It is only human to want to figure out a mystery and most people love a mystery. Prophecy fulfills in most of us, this need to seek and discover. To some it can actually become obsessive when it becomes predominate over everything else. To some it becomes addictive where they just can't get enough information, books, seminars and equipment. Patience, that thing we all know and agree that we all need to exercise more of, but then usually don't, is the starting point. Knowing how we perpetuate this cycle, is how we can stop it. The point of this writing is not to claim right or wrong, it is to challenge you to be wise and watch with a hopeful expectation of His coming again, without acting out of emotion and impulse. So much of prophecy needs to set itself on a wait and see balanced attitude. Many times we become our own worst enemy by our own human nature. If the Bible teaches us noting else about prophecy, it is the fact that unconditional prophecies are never fully known in detail until after the fact or progressed to the point where man cannot interfere and mess things up. Man's nature is to personally involve ourselves to either stop or help out events depending on our opinion of what is right or wrong, good or bad. God does not need our help as Peter found out when Jesus told his disciples that he would go to the cross. Peter's first reaction was to try and prevent that from happening. Jesus responded by commanding Satan to get behind him. That is human nature at it's worst/best, and that is the problem. Prophetic events will be progressive and our knowledge will counter that progression on a need to know basis through the various means of revelation by men of God who are moved by God's Holy Spirit. This includes yourself as well as others who are teaching, preaching and serving in other prophetic gifting. And that is where patience comes into focus. Sometimes we just have to wait and see, sometimes we have to read all the pages in between, and cannot jump to the end to know ahead of time. In a box to go please Another human element is that we want or even need everything to be tied up in a neat complete package. in order to give us the respect and authority on issues, we think we have to have an answer for. In this process we may at times over step ourselves and fill in the blanks of what has been revealed to us with assumptions, logical as they may seem, they are still man made attempts to fill in the blanks. These teachers (I will include myself here) as honorable and Godly as their intensions and motivations may be, are still just people as you and I. We are all subject to the same weakness of our flesh, and subject to missing the mark. Everything by everybody needs to be scrutinized and prayerfully verified by the scriptures. When you couple that with the fact that most of us are either too busy or just plain too lazy to do our own research. It is far easier to be spoon fed by someone we trust than to spend the time doing our own research. It is not a sign of disrespect to your favorite teacher to check him out, it is scriptural. It is your duty to not be a blind follower. In Acts 17:10, the Beraens were noble because they searched daily in the scriptures to verify what the Apostles spoke. A true teacher would desire to be scrutinized by their students. This can be a good distinction between someone motivated by ego or the Holy Spirit of God. Our Responsibility Our ultimate dependency has to be on our own personal relationship with the Lord and our obedience to the more mundane things of everyday life. How is God going to tell you prophetic things on a global scale if you are not willing to listen to him on the small things in your own life? We should act as adults in Christ not little children, we take responsibility for our own relationship and not depend on taking the easy way out and letting the "experts" do it for us. Believe me there is coming a time when you will need to know the Word and the prompting of His Spirit because your assumed knowledge of End Time Events will not help, institutions and trusted people will not be able to help you, only the Lord will have the answers for you personally. That is the difference between religion or relationship. So you think you got it all figured out? Again this has nothing to do with proving my way or idea is right and the traditional is wrong. Much of what I am going to share I believe was revealed to me by the Lord, but hey, some of it might be speculation as I am not perfect, I am just a human filter and imperfect. The fact is that much of these events have not happened yet so no one knows for sure. I just want to challenge you not to be so comfortable in assuming the traditional is right and we know it all and have it figured out. This is what the Jewish leaders did as they instructed the one who was the answer to all their hopes. and said, "We know that when Messiah comes he will deliver us from the Romans" and yada yada yada they rambled on, telling Jesus what the signs of the Messiah was all about. How vain and ridiculous it must have looked as they lectured the very creator of all things without even recognizing who he was, Their assumed knowledge put him on a cross. We in our vain confidence think we have all of the end time events all figured out and I say we do not. I also say that though we won't put Jesus again on a cross we will make the same mistakes again and fail to see the times as they are really happening. This is where in spite of man made doctrine, Jesus by His Spirit, can set us straight, when the knowledge is needed, if we have eyes to see and ears to hear Him, not institutions, teachers and the many assumptions offered. |

The Rapture of the church is a doctrine which
states that there will come a time when Jesus will come to take all true
believers and remove them from the earth. First there will be a
resurrection of the dead in Christ and then all who believe in Christ as
Born Again believers will be changed and taken up to heaven. Here are
the most popular scriptures most often quoted to reveal this rapture idea. The actual word rapture is not found in the Bible, however it is just a name describing the event. The actual word caught up is used to describe this event which is real. It is rather obvious that this catching away will happen. It will be sudden, in a moment, at a shout from the Lord and the blowing of the trump. The dead in Christ first rise and then believers alive at his coming will be changed and taken. Most all evangelical Christians agree that this event is literal and will happen someday. Just when it will happen is where the controversy begins. Various Doctrines There are several ideas on this. The
most popularly accepted one is called the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. There
is another idea called the Mid Tribulation Rapture and another called
the Post-Tribulation Rapture. A more recent one is called the Pre-Wrath
Rapture. These ideas are centered around another end time doctrine
called the great Tribulation period which is supposed to last for seven
years leading up to the physical return of Jesus. Search for yourself When I first became a Christian, I was told of this Pre-tribulation rapture doctrine and typical of myself I searched the scriptures to find it. In spite of popular beliefs, I'm still searching because the one doctrine I do not see about the Rapture is the pre-tribulation one. If I am to take the Word for what it says, in about four scriptures, it becomes obvious what is being said and what is not being said. This doctrine is not essential to ones faith and should not be taken so serious as to cause such division that exists today. Believers in the Pre-tribulation doctrine seem more intense and defensive about this doctrine than the others do with theirs, and it does make me wonder why? Why is there such passion and such intense emotion that seems to be attached to this doctrine? Getting past this emotional reaction of defense, Let's examine a few details from the Bible that will give us some absolute parameters to work within. So what does the Bible say? The Sound of the LAST trump, a beginning point. The sound of a trumpet is mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:52 in reference to this catching away. Details are always significant in the Bible and cannot be ignored just because we may not like their implication. One such often ignored detail by believers in the Pre-tribulation rapture is the LAST Trump that is mentioned by Paul in 1Corinthians 15:52. " In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed." 1 Cor 15:52 (KJV) While 1 Thessalonians only says at the sound of the trump, last trump is included in the above scripture. Last Trump may have a significant detail that gives us a window of time to when this happens. It is not mentioned to be ignored, it is a detail we have to deal with. ...that day shall not come except The Thessalonians were not much different than many of us today. Upon hearing and understanding the soon return of Jesus and the coming rapture, they stopped doing many of their daily routines in life in anticipation of the soon return of Christ and the Rapture. In context, Paul is reminding them of an order of events that must happen first before the Rapture or return of the Lord will happen. This is the whole point of this text so the details are rather important for us to consider and not ignore. " Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;" II Th 2:3 (KJV) 1. a falling away 2. the man of sin is revealed. Regardless if you believe the day of the Lord is in two parts or one (that is another debate used by Pre and Post tribulation believers) does not really matter here. Whatever way you look at it, these two other events have to happen first. The Falling Away Anyone armed with a concordance can look up the Greek word for falling away to get a full meaning and intent of this word. In spite of this ease, this text has been twisted and maligned by those who do not like what the real intent is and even try to reverse it's meaning. Apostasia means literally to stand apart or away. It also has the slant to it as a defection or betrayal. We derived our English word apostate from this. It certainly does not mean in any way shape or form, a catching away, and yet there are some who try and claim this as the rapture. A very well known figure has tried to pass this one off unchallenged by others but why? His claims are not defensible in any way but as a beloved teacher of the Word nothing is brought into accountability perhaps out of respect or fear of what would happen at such a challenge. The contextual use of this word indicates that this defection or falling away is not Born Again Christians who leave the faith, these are people who have always stood apart and away from the truth. They are religious people without the grounding and actual relationship with God. Something causes them to depart and leave toward something different or new. The only gathering that could be indicated by this word is a negative gathering toward a lie, thereby making them a traitor to what they once intellectually believed. This word used anywhere else has no positive connotation, only a negative one. This negative event must happen first, it is a large defection from the God of the Bible toward something else. That is sign number one as revealed by Paul. The Man of Sin Revealed. Sign number two is the fact that this man of sin shall be revealed. The revelation will not come from some learned teacher or a prophets declaration. This revealing we are further told in the context of Paul's letter to the Thessalonians will be as he declares himself as God in some public way. This announcement will be with signs from the heavens and lying wonders. I address this in detail as defined by other experts of Biblical language in the Mystery of Iniquity section. The startling appearance in the heavens will bring a moral message contrary to the Bible. It will be this "trigger" event that will allow the Holy Spirit to make God's people realize who he is. it will also be at the antichrist's own opportune moment. In other words, he will have other political, religious and social systems orchestrated to prepare his introduction. The ending point So far we have a beginning point with two events that must happen before the rapture. Can the Bible also give us an ending point? Is there something that will happen that we will not be apart of? I believe in the same context of what Paul is trying to convey to the Thessalonians he gives us that clue. To ease their anxieties, Paul on two occasions in context to this day assures them that they are not appointed to the Wrath of God. That is the ending point "For God hath
not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord
Jesus Christ," 1Thes 5:9 (KJV) Our ending point is at the Wrath of God which we are not appointed to and what we are delivered from. Now we have a starting point, the sound of the last trump, we have two events, a falling away and the man of sin to be revealed, and an ending point, the wrath of God. Now if we have any text in the Bible that could give us a chronological order to these end time events, we should expect to find this order there. This would be the proverbial smoking gun to the whole matter. The Book of Revelation a Chronological order The book of Revelation is a series of visions given to John by the Lord on the island Patmos in the late first century around 90AD. Most evangelicals agree in the literal interpretations within this book by the use of symbolism that is consistent throughout the rest of the books in the Bible. Most evangelicals also agree that these visions are also in a chronological progression. Linear/ eternal transitions There is another thing typical of the book of Revelation that happens that not many are aware of. There is an overlapping or backing up of events as the reader is taken from the earthly realm into the heavenly realm. The transitions are easy to detect once you are aware of them. It is also important to realize there is a difference of perception from the linear earthly and the eternal heavenly realms. It would be like looking at a parade going by while standing on a street corner. You would view the progression by remembering what has gone buy, viewing what is in front of you and anticipating what is to come. However, someone in a helicopter hovering above could view the entire parade as one single event. This analogy can best explain the difference in perception from the linear as compared to the eternal . Understanding this, transitions that exist in the Book of revelation, begin to make all the sense in the world. Finding the Rapture in Revelation Our starting point would be the sounding of a last trumpet. This is found in Revelation 11:15 when the seventh Angel sounds the last of the trumpet judgments. Immediately, the scene goes from an earthly one to a heavenly one where events that are in the final conclusion are described in the past tense. " And the
seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and
of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." Rev 11:15
(KJV) " And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." Rev 11:19 (KJV) In the Old Testament, the ark of the covenant was the box or chest that contained the ten commandments which was the law between God and Mankind. Here in the temple of God in heaven, this ark contains God's testimony. This would be Jesus Christ and His Church as directed by the Holy Spirit of God. What we view then as we look upon this ark is the entire earthly progression of the church beginning with the birth of Christ and ending where we are at in heaven, the rapture, just before the last seven plagues filled with the wrath of God takes place. The next three Chapters are a review of God's testimony which is Jesus Christ and His Church. We are in a sense ,backing up to witness this testimony. Understanding this change in perception
will explain the common mistake that many make by simply looking at
Revelation 11:15 as the last trumpet, and thinking, "ok good, we are
gone right here," and then looking at the later Revelation 13 where the
rise of the beast , the mark and the worship of the image comes into
play with the additional thought, " Whew! this is later than chapter 11
so we must be gone and don't have to deal with it." That is wrong when
you take into consideration the context and surroundings of linear and
eternal, in this testimony of God. In proper context and surroundings, we
find what we would expect to find by the other scriptures, a progression
of order of certain events. We have the last trumpet, we have the rise of the
Beast, the falling away worship of the image and then in Revelation
14:14,15 The harvest of the Earth, or the rapture and right after that
the wrath of God.. The beginning of the 15th chapter begins another heavenly vision describing the wrath of God upon those that remain. So whatever you want to call this, it would appear that the pre-wrath rapture is truly what the Bible tells us. We will be around for Satan's wrath but not God's wrath. So Why the Intensity of emotion attached to this Pre-Tribulation Doctrine. I truly believe this doctrine is gong to be used by the enemy, Satan. In a same but opposite pattern, he will have his own fake rapture that will include UFO's and New Ager's that disappear. Evangelical born again Christians are left behind. This action, happening before the real event ,will deceive the entire world and turn the tables on the church making good seem bad and evil seem good. In the Global Conspiracy section, I give full details of this possible plan. If the Church is inflexible believing in a Pre-Tribulation rapture only, they may be very confused by these fake events. Because of the presentation of the Pre-Tribulation doctrines shown in movies and books most people not even Christian have a basic understanding of this doctrine which will only help cement this deception in their minds. Those who are flexible with this and other end time doctrines will be the first to see through this lie and help others during this time of great confusion.. Again I do not share this with you to tear down tradition. I am one who is perhaps more traditional in some ways . I go to a service that is more conservative and traditional than the contemporary ones offered at my church. It is perhaps my age but I also enjoy the old fashioned songs and simpler form of worship as opposed to the contemporary professional displays of today. So this is not some kind of hobby for me. I do not take pleasure in doing this but the scriptures are very clear when you allow them to say what they mean.
Foundations and substance There are assumptions, and guesses about the character, actions and identity of the Antichrist that have found their way into Christian eschatology as doctrine without any scriptural backing or support. These have become accepted assumptions passed down for many decades that are now common knowledge without anyone making a challenge to them. We will center our search around one such myth but in this lengthy look at scripture, we will address many other shared assumptions that do have other ways of looking at them. Since many aspects are intertwined we will be addressing the ones that are somewhat related to the political assassination myth and other related events which surround it. The Assassination Myth tries to explain the attempt of Satan through the Antichrist to extrapolate part of the gospel process of death and resurrection. I believe the Bible goes even further, to describe a pattern in the same but opposite, that imitates the entire gospel formula, including a false promise of everlasting life, an unholy empowerment of the Antichrist message by his followers, as a Satanic Pentecost. and of course the third day resurrection. By examining some well known scriptural references to this event we can separate myth from truth and even get a different perspective also backed by scripture, than what we think we know and perhaps new light on some events past, that we might have already missed. The Assassination Myth One such myth is the assassination of the Antichrist. It has been popularized by several Christian films about the end times and written in many books as a fact. The myth goes that when the Antichrist comes, three and a half years into his rein of power, he is shot in the head and dies, three days later, he comes back to life, thereby being the event that makes it known to Bible believing Christians that he is the Antichrist. This example is actually a good guess based on logical assumptions, but not on the Word of God. Same but Opposite an Established Pattern Antichrist means the same but opposite. In other words this person would be a Messianic figure but he would be the opposite of the real thing or a negative counterpart. In this concept then, it is assumed that the death and resurrection as Jesus experienced at his first appearance, would be imitated in the same way by the Antichrist. No where does it come right out and prophetically state this in reference to the Antichrist. There are several scriptures that would appear to allude to this chain of thought. However you have to take into account all other scriptures that pertain to the same subject of the Antichrist, in order to get the whole picture. Even the many scriptures that most agree are talking about this end time person are not addresses as such. This is a pattern in itself, as the scriptures describe the prophetic actions of the Messiah, but are not labeled or addressed as such. This for some, only creates more controversy and debate. However, in what might seem to be something very complicated, the confusion is cleared up because we do have established patterns that make the way for us. Many scriptures because of contextual use are obviously talking about a future someone with a mission or task. This is echoed in the many scriptures about Jesus as the Messiah as well as an individual as the Antichrist. This becomes a safe pattern which you can follow. In doing this, there are several scriptures that allude to the assassination idea. We will now take a look at these scriptures. "And I saw
one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly
wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
Rev 13:3 (KJV) Empires and their Leaders I don't want to stray off too much but I have to include here that the woman is a false religious system called the whore of Babylon and she is described in the beginning of this chapter. She is riding on this beast with seven heads and ten horns. We are told that the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits upon. It has been long accepted for over a hundred years or more that this was the seven hills surrounding the Vatican in Rome. However, this is a guess that 100 years ago seemed solid but today , there are and need to be other viable options supported by the scriptures. There are other ways to look at this same text but options are rarely given and many people do not even know there are other options. A consistent symbolic use in the Bible refers to mountains as any fortification and in particular nations as an empire. (See, Ps 30:7 Isa2:2, Dan 2:35,Jer 51:25,Zech 4:7) This context could be referring to the progression of seven kingdoms that existed at different times in history. (Basically the same religious system existed in everyone of these empires in one form or another, which would be the woman who sits upon these kingdoms) This is even supported by the next statement in context here. There are seven kings, five are fallen, means that five of the seven king's are past history. One is, which was the Roman Empire of Domitian in the time John was writing this vision down on the island of Patmos. Then the angel goes on to describe some very important details about the future coming King. When he comes it is a very short reign. The beast that was and is not, is the eighth or final leader that will face himself off against the Lord himself. These Empires are described by the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream by the prophet Daniel. Click here to take a look click here He is described in the first person noun which can only mean a person not a kingdom. In context we are still talking about kings. In this text he is one of the seven prior King's that was, is not and yet is. This can only mean one thing based on the original Greek. He was alive as one of the seven leaders, died and came back alive again to rule the eighth final kingdom. This important fact gives us a slightly different picture of this final king. We have to review a bit to clear the air. As described in Revelation 13:3, We have
a head of a beast with a deadly wound that is healed. It is further
described in Revelation 13:14 that this fatal head wound was by the sword. This
latter addition could be very misleading as "wound by the sword" was a
cliché common to that time period simply meaning something that happened
during a war or in battle. Since in that time, the common way to die in
battle was by the
primary battle weapon, the sword, this common shared knowledge was
understood by this cliché . It would be like saying someone was lost at sea. The
implication by this statement would mean a death by drowning.
Understanding this word use, the actual cause of death could be a more modern
means,
such as a bullet to the head but it most defiantly means this wound
would be during a war or in battle. While there is no mention of anything like
an assignation, in the scriptures, there is a mention of a death during a wartime situation
in reference to the Antichrist and with very similar language to that of
the Messianic prophetic scriptures about the death of Jesus by the Roman
leadership in Dan 9:27. " But he shall have power
over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious
things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his
steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north
shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to
destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant
the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy
mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."
Dan 11:43-45 (KJV) This scenario should seem very familiar to any history buff. We have a battle field taking place in northern Africa with a sudden withdrawal because of threatening news from the North(England) and an Eastern front(Russia). The retreat is one that creates a great wrath by the Antichrist which was known as a "scorched earth policy" of total destruction. Because of this two front war, things begin to go bad quick. The same thing happened in WWI but some of the further details clearly indicate that this is the scene of WWII. The next verse has a New Testament interpretive value not identified by anyone that I know of and because of this, the text is not understood for what it is saying or in the proper time period. I give a detailed understanding in America in Prophecy and The Antichrist sections on my site. He shall plant, means that he, the Antichrist, is going to establish something, somewhere as part of a plan, even a contingency plan as things are going wrong and very bad for him. What he is planting, is answered next. The tabernacles of his palace. In the Greek here, tabernacle literally means a tent or the residents within the tent or dwelling, this dwelling further defined as his palace or supreme place of importance. These are the occult secret makers, and keepers of the secrets of the 3rd Reich. The very essence of the infrastructure of Nazi Germany that was taken as the spoils of war. Where are they taken? This is where the most misunderstood section comes into play. All Bible scholars seem to think that the glorious mountain refers to Jerusalem or Israel as Mt Zion. However, neither are between any seas. We have a couple of uses of Zion being the tribe of Judah, Ps 78:68 and anywhere the people of God are congregated Ps 74:2. The church is also referred to as a nation 1Pe 2:9. Mountains as I have stated earlier, can mean nations not just a literal mountain. One that is glorious can be defined as a nation made clear or clean. If you cross reference this with Isaiah 55:5 and Matt 21:43 you have sound scriptural support for a reference to America which is between two seas. This would mean that the projects paperclip and the Gehlen organization that brought in over 2,000 Nazi scientists, engineers and intelligence officers into America to fill top positions in Industry, Military and Academia was planned and prophesized. Under the guise of the New Age movement, which is a spiritualized and slightly Christianized form of Theosophy, but still occult at its roots, now sweeps over our whole country. It would also be our undoing much the same way it happen before to Rome. What they could not win on the battle field has been won by a change in our spiritual beliefs. No longer Theosophy based on a national identity and racial bloodline but a slight twisting with an offer to whosoever will may come. Yes, this is another same but opposite pattern imitated by Satan through the Antichrist. As Rome thought they were finally putting an end to their enemy Israel in 70 AD by sacking, burning and destroying everything, they created for themselves the same situation. The Jewish Christian believers remembered what Jesus warned them about in Luke 21:20. They fled before the destruction came right into Rome and her eastern provinces. What was once a message and religion based on a national identity (Israel) and specific bloodline (The Hebrew) is now offered to whosoever will by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By their influence and a supernatural empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the spread of Christianity transformed the Roman empire vast enough to eventually become the Holy Roman Empire. This empire was a corruption of Christianity but nevertheless they were forever changed from within. This is the exact parallel of the same but opposite that happened at the end of WWII. The Wartime Death He comes to his end and no one shall help him. This is a death during a war of one who fits the description as a fierce military leader. (Rev 6:2) This was also an empire that lasted only a short time of 12 years to be exact. This empire was based on occult and mythological beliefs that have their roots in Ancient Babylon where the woman sat upon. When you combine this text with another text of scripture describing this legendary figure the Antichrist, it becomes almost embarrassingly obvious who this person could be and what time frame is being spoken of. The Rest of the Story Where this text mentions, "the holy
people", many study Bibles footnote this as a better rendering meaning ,
people in the sense of descendants of the holy ones. This is a veiled
way of saying Jews but after 70 AD when Israel rejects Jesus as their
Messiah. It was at that time, the glory of God departed from Israel as Titus destroyed
Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. The text then concludes with the
Antichrist's death as he faces the prince of princes. This mention is
alluding to Michael the archangel who was Israel's protector in Old
Testament times but now with a New Testament value he is the protector
of the Church and I believe any nation where the church may be gathered
or as Jesus put it: " Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God
shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
thereof." Matt 21:43 (KJV) The beast that was and isn't and yet is, of Revelation 17, is a man who died went to the pit and ascends out of this pit as one of seven prior rulers to lead the final beast empire kingdom. This clearly does not suggest a 3rd day resurrection in the form of a political assignation. It does however, suggest two different appearances by one man. This very significant verse in Revelation 17 has gone completely unnoticed until a Bible teacher from Grand Blanc, Michigan wrote the book The Sign. Robert Van Kampen expounds on this and other scriptures to show what is almost too obvious. I have even more evidence here on my site. All roads seem to return back to this group and their leader including every aspect of the UFO/Alien phenomena. Two Appearances by One Man another Same but Opposite Pattern We seem to have two different profiles in the scriptures for the Antichrist as we do for the Messiah. We have the lamb of God and the Lion of Judah as two different appearances of Jesus. Jesus first comes to be the sacrifice and spiritual restoration as the lamb of God. At his second coming he will be as the Lion of Judah the returning King to physically reclaim and restore this world and it's nations to himself. In the same but opposite manner we have the Antichrist who came first as a military dictator who declared his own and became a sacrifice while attempting to take over physically. Upon his return the second time, he will be a smooth talking deceiver from a fortress of defense who will clandestinely create a world of false peace and unity with signs and wonders from the heavens. This attempt will be a spiritual movement that will encompass the whole world. This next text describes the first death of the Antichrist and his decent into Hell. In a very rare condition which is met in this text, the Hebrew words are telling us that he is moving into the place of Christ's “Hell from
beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirs
up the “Hell from
beneath is excited for you, to meet you at your coming: it wakes
up the dead This is why the Antichrist is called the man of sin and son of perdition. The terms here refer to the fact that he is the man excluded from salvation and destined for death. It is because this is the description of his second appearance. A dead man who came back to life to lead the final empire. "The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 This man received no such gift
from God as he circumvented this rule . Cloning may be Satan's cheap
imitation that could have been used to break God's Laws and give this
second life. ... and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. II Th 2:3-4 (KJV) A Rebuilding of the Temple: A building or a Human shell of a body Another interesting fact is that the word used here for temple is one
used elsewhere as the inner most sanctum of the literal temple or what
is known as the Holy of Holies. This same word however is also used by
Paul where he describes the human body as the current temple of
God. The Activity within Last Beast Empire The scriptures indicate that for fallen
angels and disembodied spirits, this is a form of escape from the coming
judgment or so they think. (Job 26:4 Isa 26:13,14)) For humans not
written in the book of life, this may be an offer from their leader to a
false hope of eternal life. In any case, this form of genetic tampering
is mentioned as an event that will exist in the last beast empire that
the Lord destroys at his return. In Genesis 6 we see that a
human/angelic hybridization took place just before the flood and was the
actual reason for the flood. In Daniel 2 we see from Nebuchadnezzar's
dream, it describes a return of this hybridization which takes place in the last
beast empire. Most commentaries and Christian beliefs are that this mixture is a mixing of classes. The iron being the rich and the miry clay being the working class. They say that this is proof of a socialistic or communistic form of government. Perhaps in feudal times this outlook was acceptable to the educated who first tried to translate this text. But in today's society, this would never be acceptable as you come to understand what the Aramaic word for miry clay means. It literally means filth to be swept away from burnt clay of the potter. Not exactly what I would imagine our Lord would view the working class as. How this was ever made acceptable especially in modern times is unbelievable to me. Again we have a shared passed down belief that probably has not been re-examined by anyone in a very long time. Now this is exactly the view God would hold to Satan's seed mixing with his own. Clearly this is what is being implied here. They shall not cleave one to another is also describing relationship as in Genesis 3, a man shall leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife. The same language is used here and it is safe to see that we are not talking about a failure of mixing but rather a mixing that is clinical in a laboratory rather than in a marriage like the events mentioned in Genesis 6. It is also perhaps, a mixing that is involuntary and forced by the Antichrist. The main theme of Alien Abductions is that of genetic hybridization of the human race. Here is a text that may be an encrypted way of alluding to this very thing. Provided by the Antichrist We unfortunately approach the scriptures with a Roman/Greek mindset however, the Bible was written by Hebrews from a Hebrew mindset which is quite different than our western one. In our mindset the scriptures are either literal or allegorical. In the Hebrew culture there were four levels of interpretation that could actually be overlapping like an onion skin. There is the p'shat, which is direct, simple and literal, the remez, which is a hint or alluding to, there is the darash which is a commentary or comparison, then we have the most mystical of the four, the sod, which is the deeply hidden and encrypted. With this understanding we can now look at this text. "And the king shall do
according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself
above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of
gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that
that is determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God
of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he
shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honour
the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour
with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. The above scripture describes things the Antichrist will provide. Who he is providing it for, literally means an alien god. I thought that was almost an amusing play of words. Digging deeper, he is supplying more than just what the surface rendering holds. Certainly we have progressed above idol worship with offerings of gold, silver and such. Some have considered this as objects of national treasure and currency which certainly have good merit and makes more sense for a more progressive society. There is even another way of looking at this but you have to go back to the original Hebrew to bring out the potential of what might be encrypted here. The word for Gold here, literally means "the shinning of Gold", The word for Silver literally means, a silvering or "a silver plating or covering", precious stones actually means "rare stony ground". and pleasant things means "things desired". Gold has always been symbolic as meaning deity or God. Silver has always been symbolic of redemption. rare stony ground can be the condition of an unregenerate heart or also a rare desert place. When you find this many words with such a pattern of different meanings, it could mean there is more going on here as an encrypted meaning that would only make sense when it needed to. As God told Daniel certain things would be shut up or sealed until the time of the end. I think we are in those times and a deeper meaning can be understood by some scriptures that would work as a hidden key to understanding. This text could read out as, "He shall abundantly supply, the reflection of God, a redemptive covering, rare desert land and things desired." Jesus is described as the image of the invisible God (Col 1:15) We are said to be the image of Jesus (Rom 8:29) Therefore the image is like a reflection of God. Could there be something in the redeemed which carries this reflection of God. Is there a genetic encoding in our DNA for our resurrected heavenly body? If so, could this be some genetic marker that is attempted to be synthesized? In the Old Testament, Cattle was used as a sacrifice for a redemptive covering. Today genetically, the closest match to human blood is bovine blood which can be used on humans in emergencies. Cattle slaughtering include the removal of sensory and sexual organs. (As a judgment from God, these are the very elements lacking in the current form of fallen angels. See the Grays section for more detail) These organs are removed with laser precision, cut in between cells. In a same but opposite pattern cattle slaughtering may be a mining for resources that extrapolates the redemptive model set forth by God in the Old Testament. There are also many rumors of secret bases in the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado, where some of these activities are claimed to happen. I truly believe I was directed to this scripture to see how this alludes to something of a genetic tampering that is going on with abductions, cattle slaughtering and rumors of military secret bases. You will get this understanding further in the topical essay sections relating to the specific topics. Your Defense Department at Work: The Abomination that makes Desolate Another event that ties into the Antichrist is the Abomination that makes desolate. This brings us back to the temple that the Antichrist stands in, making his demand for worship as God. There is a rule that is taught in most Bible colleges called the rule of duplicity. Many times a prophetic event will be fulfilled in the time of the prophet who has spoken but it will have a replay also in a latter time. In this case we have an event that has happened twice and still awaits a third end-time experience. A twofold witness and doubling emphasis. An important part of Jewish Law stated that in the mouths of two or more witnesses, a thing is established. Another pattern in Jewish culture is that when something was very important they would announce it twice such as Jesus telling Nicodemus about being born again, Jesus said, " truly truly" and then went on to explain. The emphasis on doubling the word was a Jewish way of saying listen up this is very important. When we have anything that has this kind of repetitiveness, it is also a means of emphasis or double witness, that this is also something very important. Both the prophet Daniel and Jesus spoke of the Abomination that makes desolate. that happened close to their own time. Daniel 11:31and 12:11 and in Matthew 24:15. Both were similar, but to appreciate the full impact, let me explain what the traditional experience was for the average worshipping Jew. Worship at the Temple The Levite priest had to go through a
cleansing ritual before he entered the inner sanctuary called the holy
of holies. If the priest did not follow the proper procedures or had any un-confessed sin in his life, he would drop dead upon entering this
inner area. Tradition has it that, the temple servants would tie a rope
around the leg of the priest just in case he died, they could quickly
remove the body. When everything went right, the priest would take a
lamb without spot or blemish and slaughter it upon the alter. Then a
bright shinning light called the shekinah glory would emanate from the
ark of the covenant and radiate throughout the entire temple, literally
filling it with light. From the outer walls the rays would glow and
radiate from the ramparts of the walls reaching out toward the heavens.
This was God's method of telling all, that he was pleased with the
sacrifice and his presence was there with them. The Eastern wall of the temple in Jerusalem. The ramparts are the top highest portion of the structure which can easily be seen. Imagine the light shining off these ramparts into the heavens. This has been mocked by Satan twice, and a possible third time waiting as a literal or symbolic mockery. w R
The Mockery The Abomination of Desolation was a Satanic mockery of this procedure and also an indication that the presence of the Lord and his glory had departed from the Hebrew nation. In June 168B.C. Antiochus Epiphanes IV a Greek general committed the first desecration. He placed a statue of Jupiter in the Holy of Holies and slaughtered a pig upon the alter. He also placed stone idols upon the ramparts of the exterior walls. Instead of God's glory shining out from the walls, these idols were seen. This was a total mockery of Jewish worship and of their God.
Jerusalem 168BC
In 70 AD Titus a Roman General placed a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies. The individual Roman units placed their flags upon the ramparts of the outer walls. Again this was a defiant act of mockery to all that was worshiped and considered sacred. Instead of the glory of the Lord shining out of the walls, the individual Roman units flags stood and replaced the light with their own glory. Again in mockery to the Jews and their faith. Roman Banner Destruction of Jerusalem 70AD The New Testament Temple On the day of Pentecost, as promised by Jesus the Holy Spirit, as God's presence within mankind came upon the praying believers in the Upper Room. It was recorded that flames of fire was seen above each believer. This was the same Shekinah glory that used to come upon the Temple before the mission of Christ. In the Old Testament, the first initial dedication of each temple experienced a cloud of God's glory which descended upon or hovered over the temple. This was a one time experience as anything afterward, the Shekinah glory began from within the Holy of Holies between the Cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant and then radiated outward for all to see. This event was a symbolic type and traditional pattern to show that God was with man in the new temple, their own bodies. Could the third Abomination of Desolation be duplicated in a symbolic manner following the New Testament pattern? The cloven tongues of fire seen above the believers was a one time experience. Christians can understand this thought, New Born believers, and other believers for various reasons and situations, can be so filled with the Holy Spirit, a shine can be sensed from their faces that can even change the atmosphere in a room. This is that same Shekinah glory coming from within to reflect without that confirms to all that God is within that believer. Now as before, the light is an inner one that reflects outward.
The Two Fold Warning
The Coming Master Race
The main purpose of "alien abduction" are for the mixing of
the serpents seed with mankind to re-create the image proclaimed by
Hitler as the “Master Race” Now with a repackaged Theosophy they are
presented as Good Angel/Aliens with a new spiritual offer to mankind. "Rejoice not thou

Now once again on the surface this does
not appear to be saying much that makes sense. By once again, In Gen 10:14 they are referred to as
descendants of Ham who were black. This was true in the third One of Histories biggest mysteries is
what happened to the Philistines. When the Assyrians came down and took
the ten northern tribes captive, much of the tribe of Dan left in
fulfillment of a prophecy about their tribe. (Deut 33:22). They may have
even left with their next door neighbors the Philistines. As
sophisticated as the Philistines were, they had no written language.
Their entire civilization seemed to disappear off the face of the earth.
Without a written language to track them nothing of there whereabouts
can be made certain. Another culture, the Villanovans seemed to
appear in Northern Europe (Germany to be exact) at about the same time.
They had the same kind of proficiency in working with iron, a
Mediterranean style shipbuilding and religious and cultural traits
similar to the Philistines. At the same
I believe an army is under construction. The warrior traits of Cain (See the Two Seeds and the Hollow earth for more detail) and the physical attributes, as the root of the serpent are what they desire. This strain would be stronger in the firstborn of the human race. This is why there is both legal and biological preference placed upon the whites. It is why we have the crazy idea of the Ayran Master race projected by a Messianic figure Adolf Hitler and those who believed these occult based lies who followed up on them. The Antichrist then becomes the firstborn of the dead for his own to duplicate the same for them. All of this is done in the same but opposite pattern. We will discuss more on the coming of this Army of Darkness in the Image of the Beast further down on this page. For now there is still one more event
that is the after math of the death of the Antichrist and that is the
supernatural empowerment of his followers to proclaim their New Deal for
mankind. The Anti-gospel The Age of Aquarius and the occult explosion.

here Where is all of this going? An Army of Darkness from Hell. Our next subject is the image of the Beast and we will address this next. However in closing we need to realize that there is an entire extrapolation of everything God has or will do by the great imitator Satan. If the scriptures are telling us that many end time events have already happened as much as 60 years ago and we missed it, and more events to come are not even addresses by the church, this should be a wakeup call for everyone. We with our preconceived ideas are no different than the Jews of the time when Jesus first came and it would appear we have made the same mistakes by our own vanity. I do not want to convince you that the last profile you just read about the Antichrist is something that should be made into doctrine. It should not, not until all is past and we know for sure. The healthiest safest and wise thing to do is to consider it with an open mind and wait and see. My whole point is to not be so inflexible and conclusive about future events. I should conclude this Antichrist section with his second coming. We will make this a quick one but one thing to realize is that if Adolf Hitler is the one who was, isn't and yet is, he certainly will not come back with his hair combed backward, with a funny looking mustache in his little Nazi uniform. In a time where some can control and manipulate genetics and if cloning is already possible, then he could look like anyone he wanted to and come from wherever he wanted to. His reemergence may be in the same but opposite of Christ. The Bible says that every eye shall see Christ and know who he is. In his case every eye will see but never know until he wants everyone to know. I believe when that day comes to stand in a building or make his global announcement the conditioning will be such that in his vanity, he will perhaps come out Old Testament Theosophical style in his uniform and all. But until then, we will have to wait and see. He could be anyone coming from anywhere. We do know, one other element that accompanies his reappearance will be... Even him, whose coming is
after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders ,
II Th 2:9 (KJV) Signs and lying wonders as commented by
one of the top Ancient Greek scholars of today, Spiros Zodhiates Th.D.,
states that, “ these two words do not refer to different classes
of miracles, but to different qualities of the same miracle. Teras
(wonders) is a miracle regarded as startling, imposing...frequently used
elsewhere for STRANGE APPEARANCES IN THE HEAVENS. Semeion (sign) a
“miracle with an ETHICAL END and purpose. They are valuable not so much
for what they are as for what they indicate.” His second coming will accompany a supernatural power which could include a higher form of technology gleaned from the occult and/or rumors of "Alien Technology" His second appearance will also be accompanied by signs and lying wonders. This literally means a sudden startling appearance in the skies bearing a message contrary to the God of the Bible. This sounds very much like the whole UFO/Alien encounters many have claimed to experience. It is funny that the message all of these entities proclaim, is a form of Theosophy. This is the philosophical foundation for both the New Agers as well as the National Socialists Party. One has an Old Testament style Theosophical message based on a national identity and a certain bloodline. The other has a spiritualized New Testament version based on faith in a religious form of worship where man is the center of existence and transcends to be his own god. It is the same message now offered to whosoever will based on their belief in mankind not God. This New message of a different Theosophy appears on the surface to be one of love tolerance and universal acceptance, when in fact this is the same but opposite veneer of the Holy Roman Empire and the changed gospel message. Old Testament Theosophy was an act of hatred against all but the "chosen". Now spiritualized into a false peace and love movement, the same core of hatred and exclusivity lurks behind it. The Holy Roman Empire had the veneer of being the "official church state" with a mission from God. Actual practice of the church/state government, was a pagan distortion motivated by greed and power of a rich elite few. The Hapsburgs of Germany was the invisible hand behind the Holy Roman Empire. Ten elite families today are the rich elite who were behind the 3rd Reich as well as the global agenda of a One World Order spearheaded by the United Nations and promoted by the US. In spite of such deception there always remained a remnant of faithful followers within the Church. On the dark side of this there are a few who know they are dealing with the god of this world. Most however believe in this One World Lie and move toward it's goals. If you will not believe in the manifested truth, Jesus Christ and His word the Bible, you will believe the coming Big Lie. I hope I have shown enough scripture
about the Antichrist to dispel the assassination myth and perhaps a few
other guesses too. While I do believe what I have here was mostly
revelation by God to me, I certainly do not want anyone to accept them
as the only option. I just want to challenge you all to be more flexible
and open to consider that we may not have all things prophetic figured
out in a nice neat package. Many things are just guesses some good some
real bad. We will get to some of the bad ones soon in other prophetic
topics as I complete and post them. You can believe whatever you want
about myself or the scenario I have just presented. If you got this far
I have done my job the rest is up to the Lord and only time and the
leading of the Holy Spirit will tell. At least you allowed yourself to
be exposed to the ideas so someday it might all fit and make sense to
what is going on around you. Ancient Cultural Practices are a Type and Shadow of things to Come The image of the beast has had a very early interpretation derived from ancient practices common to the ancient eastern world. Teraphims were figurines of various gods in human form commonly called household gods. These idols were abolished by several Hebrew leaders but they seem to have a hold on the people of Israel. They were used to secure an oracle as it was a common practice of the Babylonian Kings. It is from this Biblical recorded definition and use that through the ages of the church, it was thought that the False Prophet would someday bring back this practice and actually make these wooden or clay idols come to life and in a sense be like semi-animated spies. They would become the object of worship and those who refused would be ratted out by them. This definition remains pretty much the same even today. The image of the beast mentioned in Revelation 13 is used in the plural tense. Because of this use in context, Image of the Beast should actually be Images of the Beast as it does not mean one but many. Teraphim " And he had power to give life unto the
image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed." Rev 13:15 (KJV) To have this remain as the primary
understanding of this text of scripture is almost laughable and it shows
the need to update or re-evaluate such interpretations in light of
recent developments in technology. I have heard several ideas where this
could include anything like holographic brains, artificial intelligence or
cloning. In light of modern developments any combination of these could
have much more merit than the traditional leftovers from another time.
In spite of some recent good ideas, the total context however, may give
us enough background that could define or narrow the parameters of
speculation. In this next text we have the rise of one
commonly called the False Prophet. There are some key details that not
only tell us some things about this individual, they can also give
details to just what he is doing. This becomes an important element of
the story about the image of the beast as this is his agenda and
product. Another fact we were told in Isaiah 14 was that the first beast was spread out to assume a position like Christ's. This is alluding to the position and role as the firstborn of the dead but could it also mean that the first beast is spread out to assume a dual role as two individuals? This could be what we are being told here. The fact that the second beast comes like a lamb but speaks as a dragon concludes this same but opposite pattern of a Christ like figure.. Fire from the Sky The second beast is directing the
whole world to worship the first one. This is being accomplished
by bringing down fire from the sky or heavens in the sight of the first
beast and the population of the earth. The results of this public
display is that everyone who is not God's becomes deceived and swayed
over to their agenda. There is another interesting thing about the word
for fire here. The Greek word pur has a wide variety of meanings
centered around the most general
meaning of a literal fire. Traditionally, the Bible interpreters have
left the understanding to remain the most general one, that of a literal
fire that comes from heaven. How logical does this seem to you or anyone
for that matter in our time today. I have to admit before I was told to
start scrutinizing and reexamining these prophetic scriptures, I always
had the vision of some wizard like person with a staff calling down
lightening. But really in today's world, how is that gong to convince or
deceive anyone. In our world of science and technology we have a vanity
of our own accomplishments that make us far too sophisticated for such
parlor tricks.
Traditional Imagery
Some have tried to update the idea that the fire coming down from heaven or skies as being nuclear bombs. Although this is a better understanding of a more modern method of fire from the skies, it does not properly address the purpose of the event. The scriptures are not telling us that the people are being forced into submission by any power, they are being convinced by the experience. Americans especially are not going to be intimidated but provoked to wrath by force. I think 911 proves that point. This event has to be or include much more than that and the Greek wording here does support much more. From a lengthy list of possibilities, here are some alternatives or variations for the use of pur that could be used in this text. See for yourself what may make more sense.
FIRE What it takes to "Reach
into Heaven
"And it waxed great, even to the host
of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the
ground, and stamped upon them. "
Dan 8:10 (KJV)
"And it developed
greatly, even to the armies of heaven: and it cast down some of the army
and of the princes (as angelic leaders of the armies) to the ground and stamped
upon them."
The Antichrist would hope to change times
and Laws in Daniel 7:2. Messing with Space and Time to Create a Judgment from Heaven to Earth: False Prophet Continues On The next text is commonly used by almost everyone to refer to a pre-Adamic fall of the Angels following Satan in his original rebellion. The Bible does not teach anything like a pre-Adamic fall. If there was anything at all before creation we are told in Ecclesiastics that it has been removed from memory. The Bible does teach that Satan's fall was in the Garden of Eden, in Ezekiel 28 th chapter. Satan's fall was in the Garden as God's super cop who was to protect and serve creation, but he tried to branch out and start his own private imitation for his own. This is part of the fall and will continue to be part of the fall until Satan is tossed into the Lake of Fire. The book of Revelation is a book about future events. Nowhere in the entire book does God look back or has a review of things prior to the last day events beginning at Christ. This is a consistent pattern that does not have any multiple examples. There is one text of verse that everyone quotes in reference to this pre-Adamic fall of angels. This is so totally out of context with any established continuity in Revelation I do not know how this was ever accepted as being right or true. In context we are looking at the testimony of God through the ark of his testimony in the heavenly temple. The dragon is doing something with one third of the stars of heaven. These are angelic beings. Are they being seduced into following Satan? Is there anything indicating that this is when Satan received his followers in some kind of rebellion. No not at all, and the original language does not even come close to suggesting this. In spite of this, everyone thinks 1/3 of the angels in heaven rebelled with Satan to become his followers and rebellious Army.
And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: Rev 12:3,4 (KJV) The tail of the dragon is none other than the false prophet. Not only does this bring us back full circle to the original text it confirms the perception that was claimed. All of these things happened to win over and convince the population of earth to create this image of the beast. Then this false prophet will step in and do his part to bring it to life. The finished product, in turn, are given charge over the population. This concept agrees with other scriptures. The Agenda of the False Prophet: If you build it, I will give it life "But in his
estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers
knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious
stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds
with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory:
and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land
for gain." Dan 11:38-39 (KJV) The image of the beast in context to the history already mentioned would be the tall blond hair, blue eyed Aryan. Hitler as the Antichrist was quoted as saying the Aryan would be the object of worship. New Agers and Catholics and others in the church, today have a form of Angel worship. Did you ever notice (excluding today's political correctness movement) that all through the centuries angels were always depicted as Caucasian, with blue eyes and fair hair. The UFO community compare the "Nordic" type alien to the Biblical angels. There are traces throughout history of an intervention by White masters, brothers and gods that came from the heavens and gave mankind technology and a form of Theosophical religious beliefs. This is their " glory" and fame and preparation for global acceptance. Washington's vision declares that "white spirits" from the heavens deliver America from a multinational invasion. The preparations have been made the opportune moment awaits for their intervention. Image of the Beast: The Real Army of Darkness Truly this is an end time Army of Darkness from hell. When you take a look at what the prophet Joel saw as the coming invasion of locusts (symbolic of nations outside of God's providence) and crossed referenced with the locusts ascending out of the "pit" this all becomes apparent. Again I have used some other grammatically correct variables to bring out a more relative 21st century meaning. First I will give the KJV version and below it will be my own rendering. Joel 2:1-10 This army of darkness is the disembodied half human half fallen angelic offspring we call demons today. It was prophesized that they would be mustered up as an end time army for their total destruction. Jesus himself announced this to the fallen angelic parents and their offspring when he descended into hell. In the 26th chapter of Isaiah, | |||
