Book of Revelation, The Seals

The book of revelation has been viewed by many over the past 100 years as a book which should be pushed off into a corner of the room, never to be discussed. I would even make the claim that some in the theological realm would like to tear it out and throw it away because it is one of the most controversial books within the scripture. The atheist and agnostics believe it's hype, fairy tale drama, and the christians believe it's a book for the atheists and agnostics, due to their lack of faith and belief in Christ, sort of a punishible by death saga for the evil bad guy in the movie.

The fact is it's one of the few books in the Bible that really tests your faith and or belief in God. The book was written for the christian, atheist and agnostic. The question is what part is written for whom? I claim the whole book was written for atheists, agnostics and numerous (more than 3 and less than 16) chapters where written for (church) christians. The book generates an abundance of questions, a few are;

1.What is the tribulation?
2.When does the tribulation occur?
3.How much suffering is there prior to or during the tribulation?
4.When is the church (christians) taken away?
5.What is Armaggedon?
6.What is the mark of the beast?
7.Who is the Anti-christ?
8.etc-etc.?

Now, let's examine several chapters of the book such as the SEAL judgements. I will use the main topic of the verse here, you should read the entire verse for yourself.

•Seal judgements begin in revelation (6:1) end in (8:1)

•First Seal (White Horse-Represent Anti-christ)
6 vs 1. Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." (2) And I looked and behold, a white horse.

•Second Seal (Fiery Red Horse-Represent war)
vs 4. And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another;

•Third Seal (Black Horse-Economic disaster)
vs 5. And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. (6) And i heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, a quart of wheat for a denarius.

•Fourth Seal (Pale horse-Death and Hades)
vs 8. And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him.

•Fifth Seal (Martyrdom)
vs. 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

•Sixth Seal (Fear upon all men)
vs 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

•Seventh Seal (Silence) The opening of this Seal is interesting, all of chapter 7 is skipped and this Seal is opened in chapter 8 vs
1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

 

Now, I want to overlay a theology I believed and or have been taught by several ministers and or evangelists over the past twenty years; The seven seals are ORDERLY on how events will begin to unfold within revelation, and revelation is still to come.

I will first admint, maybe I MISUNDERSTOOD THEIR teaching, either way I want to clarify what I do not believe anymore, but what I have faith in.

I do not believe the Seven Seals are orderly and start with the opening of Seal One, yet I have faith in the Seals, and I factually have FAITH in this;

WE ARE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION NOW, THE SEALS HAVE ALREADY BEEN BROKEN.... They are not numerically opened, they are broken as the LAMB CHOSE to reveal HIS REVELATION TO JOHN, not in what order they will affect the earth.

Look at chapter 5 vs 1;

vs 1 AND I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. (2) Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose it's seals?"

Ladies and Gentleman, it is ONE SCROLL WITH SEVEN SEALS, not SEVEN NUMBERED SEALS, the seals are on ONE SCROLL. Secondly, when John used the word opened, He understood it has breaking it, snap it like a cookie...

Now let's go to chapter 6 vs 1;

vs. 1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one OF the Seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a loud voice like thunder, "Come and see."

It's like saying I heard one of the four living creatures, John did not declare he heard the number one living creature, he claimed he heard one of them, same with the seals, one of them was broken, not the number one.

It was not the action of breaking the SEAL the living creature wanted John to see, it was the affect of breaking the seal the living creature wanted John to witness which released the judgements written (one scroll-seven affects) on the ONE SCROLL. The scripture is clear, He broke one seal then another, then another, there is nothing written where He broke SEAL NUMBER ONE, THEN SEAL NUMBER TWO etc-etc.

I have faith in the book of revalations and my faith assures me that we are under the judgement of the scroll. I have faith that Seal two, four and five have already been broken, and He has just snapped seal three, the seal of economic collapse.......

What do you have faith in?



Welcome to the revelation!!!

Next we will discuss the judgment trumpets, oh boy, this one is going to make blood vessels bust...

Rise Of The New King and Exodus Chapter 1

In my previous posting I raise some points as to history repeating itself, I wish to continue the same ideology with this posting. We discussed in the last posting the reason history repeats itself laid out within Ephesians 6 vs 10-15: The battle throughout life is with principalities and rulers of the darkness. The battle is not with flesh and blood, it's a spiritual battle. The Bible is clear; History repeats itself because the spiritual world is constant and will continue until the end of this (second coming) age.

You have most likely reviewed the above video which we can clearly discern the new administration under the leadership of President Barak Hussein Obama is anti-God, and Obama knows not our God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or our Judeo-Christian foundation.

Let's look back at the past and see if history through principalities and rulers of the darkness is influencing the current political agenda of this once great country.

Exodus 1:8-14

 

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph (9) And he said unto his people, Behold the people of the children of Israel are more mightier than we: (10) come on, let us deal wisely with them: lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that when there falleth out any war they join also unto our enemies ad fight against us, and get them up out of the land. (11) Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. (12) But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. (13) And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: (14) And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve was with rigour.

I will break down each verse here: (Now think of our political climate today)

(8) A new king who knew not Joseph (One who knew not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) We have witnessed Pres. Obama disregard the "National Day Of Prayer, yet honor Ramadan, does this allude to him not knowing our Judeo-Christian founding?

(9) Behold the children of Israel are more mightier than we (The opposition groups are greater in numbers than we are) Are we witnessing increased opposition , such as Tea Parties etc?

(10) Come let us deal with them wisely, lest they multiply ( The word wisely in this verse is the word is Harham in Hebrew and means : To deceive) Are we witnessing deception by this admin?

(11)Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them (The word taskmasters in this verse is the word Mass in Hebrew and means: enforced payment) Are we seeing increased TAXES, which are enforced payments?

(11) built for Pharaoh treasure cities (The word treasure in this verse is the word Miskaof in Hebrew and means: To store up treasure, gold, silver etc) Are we witnessing the Presidents administration store up treasure by taking over the banks within this country?

(12)But the more they afflicted them the more they multiplied and grew (The word afflicted in this verse is the word Ana in Hebrew and means: To oppress) Are we witnessing the tea parties and opponents to the administration grow and multiply due to their politics?

(13) And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour (The word serve in this verse is the word Avaad in Hebrew and means: To work for another, labour) Are we witnessing the potential for these taxes to be pushed onto our children and their children, oppressing them?

(14) And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick and all manner of service in the field (The word hard in this verse is the word Kashar in Hebrew and means: Difficult, severe. The word bondage in this verse is the word Avodar in Hebrew and means: Service, work, labour) Due to policies of this administration are we witnessing difficult severe hard labour just to make ends meet?

If you continue to read the rest of Exodus chapter 1 you will clearly read this fact:  

 

The new Pharaoh put out a decree to have the mid-wives perform forced abortions of all male babies born unto the Hebraic women. Has Obama been a advocate for abortions, absolutely yes, he has reversed anti-abortion legislation by executive order and has open the way for International funding for abortions.

Also, lets review the practicing religious beliefs of some past presidents.

#27 Taft (Unitarian) #28 Wilson (Presbyterian) #29 Harding (Baptist) #30 Coolidge (Protestant)

#31 Hoover (Quaker) #32 Roosevelt (Episcopalian) #33 Truman (Baptist)

#34 Eisenhower (Presbyterian) #35 Kennedy (Roman Catholic) #36 Johnson (Disciples of Christ)

#37 Nixon (Quaker) #38 Ford (Episcopalian) #39 Carter (Baptist) #40 Reagan (Presbyterian)

#41 Bush (Presbyterian) #42 Clinton (Baptist) #43 Bush (Methodist) #44 Obama (Unaffiliated)

Why hasn't President Obama selected a church? Why doesn't he hold prayer in the White House on the National Day of Prayer?

The number 44 within the scripture means JUDGMENT!! Pres. Obama is #44, is America under God's judgment? Is the new King influenced by principalities and rulers of the darkness that have coerced evil decisions in the past?

Barak, The Gentiles and Revelations

In a previous posting I talked about the possibility of living within the book of revelations at this very moment and all events within the Bible happening along the circular continuum of time. I've been studying revelations for many years and believe we are not only living within revelations but we are witnessing the breaking of the seals as described within chapter six.

I believe we just witnessed the breaking of the third seal, the seal of finance, economics, and lifestyle. I believe this seal was broken in 2007-2008 and we are experiencing the "birth panes" at this moment, the total collapse happening in the very near future. I believe the fourth seal of War was broken in the early 1900's which led to world war one followed by world war two, now leading us into world war three. I also believe the second seal of peace has been broken between man and we are witnessing this within the news across the world with the reports of family after family killing each other along with man killing man without consideration for life.

We must look at the SEALS along a circular continuum of time, not a straight line of time. The seals when broken will overlay other seals and not be in any single order. If we look at the seals as being on a straight line continuum then we would need to see one seals revelation start and end before the next seal could be broken, however, if we understand the seals are broken on a circular continuum of time it's possible to be under the seal of war, while the seal of finance is broken etc. There is NO DEFINITIVE starting and stopping point with the seals being broken. The seals are broken by Christ and He could have started breaking them 200 or 2000 years ago.

I want to bring to your attention the fact that the first 11 chapters of revelations are between Christ and the Church (gentiles). The chapters 12-19 are between God and the Jews, with Christ returning to battle Satan in verse 11-21 of chapter 19. The second coming of Christ is not until verse 11 of chapter 19, however, many believe Christ returns in an early chapter of revelations which is not true. He will call His church up into the heavens to be with Him which is called the rapture, however, Christ does not physically return to battle against satan until Chapter 19. The fact is;

Christ is dealing with the Church (gentiles) within the first 11 chapters of revelations and not the Jews. The seal judgements are broken by Jesus against the church and not the Hebrews. God is dealing with the (non-believing) gentiles / Jews within chapters 12-19 and not the church. The bowl judgements are poured out by God against the (non-believing) gentiles /Jews and not the church.

We can then begin to understand the fact that Christ is married to the Church and God is married to the Jews and each will bring judgement unto their bride, Jesus for the Church from Revelations 1-11 and God for the Jew from Revelations 11-19 culminating in the righteous gentiles and righteous Jews being saved and satan being bound for 1000 years as stated in revelations 20.

In reviewing revelations I believe there will rise an anti-Christ for the gentiles (church) and an anti-Christ for the Hebrews. We must remember the word anti-Christ means "one in opposition to Christ" or "one against Christ. I believe there will be ONE anti-Christ who rises on the world scene and will be the TRUE full spirit of satan within the form of man as the Bible declares within revelations chapter 13 and this will be the Hebraic Anti-Christ. This individual will usher into the world Armageddon, however, there is an anti-Christ which I believe is a prelude to the last one and I believe this is the gentile (church) anti-Christ of revelations chapter 6 which reads;

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see" (2) And I looked, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

The history of America is not perfect, by far, yet within our faults greatness has arose and America is the greatest gentile nation to have ever existed. The greatest economy the world has ever witnessed, superpower military, powerful democracy, and a proliferater of Judeo-Christian principles throughout the world. If the Hebraic anti-Christ is going to arise on the seen as described within the scriptures the greatest gentile nation to ever exist would have to be destroyed or incapacitated because this (people) nation would not allow this evil dictator to do what he will do to the middle east and Israel.

I believe America's defeat is ushered in by the anti-Christ of chapter 6, riding in on a white horse and carrying a bow. I believe this leader will arise on the seen as a person of change and peace as signified by the white horse, however, will be destructive to our country both in laws and legislation. I believe his bow is a tool of stealth and quietness, yet, destructive in battle. The world (gentile) sits at the feet of America in military power, economic power, and democracy, yet, within the past year our foundation has been devastated by President Obama's agenda, both politically and spiritually. If we fall ALL democracies across the world fall.

Let's look at the facts about President Obama;

• father was a muslim
• step-father was a muslim
• uncle was a muslim
• raised in Indonesia which is a muslim country
• came on the scene as a person of change and peace
• would sit down across from our enemies
• declared America is at peace with Islam
• will never be at war with Islam
• a proliferator of anti-christian values
• did not celebrate the national day of prayer
• destroying all of America's capitalistic industries
• exploding the national debt
• demoralizing our military troops
• pro-abortion agenda
• pro-homosexual agenda

I want to make it very clear; I'm not anti-Islam . I believe all free loving peoples of the world have the right to worship as they want, however, there is a fanatical side to Islam that must be watched and challenged if it rises in opposition to freedom and democracy. I believe there is a spirit of anti-Christ within Mr. Obama and he is on the verge of destroying this great country, ushering in a spiritual attack on our Judeo-Christian values and a military attack on Israel by Iran and it's coalitions.

In closing;

Barak was the name of Mohammad's white stallion, and Hussein was the name of the founder of the Shiite branch of Islam. Is Mr. Barak Hussein Obama the anti-Christ of revelations chapter 6 who rides in on a white horse speaking change and peace to the gentile nations /church, yet conquers and conquers? I think it's interesting the scripture uses the word conquer and conquer. Could this be alluding to conquering the gentile democracy and the gentile church, only time will tell.

I pray I'm wrong and Mr. Obama turns towards America and defends our Judeo-Christian heritage and democracy. I urge each of you to pray for Mr. Obama, the administration and our country as we move into 2010. Welcome to the revelation..

Your Living in Revelation, Time is Constant (Part Three)

I've attempted to establish an ideology within the past two postings concerning the circular time continuum, placing revelations in the center of the continuum while events are being unveiled along the continuum. In this posting I would like to explore the events of world war three, a war I believe was started by radical Islam approximately 40 years ago, a few years before the 6th day war between Israel and the Arab world. Let's examine history:

1. Israel consistently expressed a desire to negotiate with its neighbors. In an address to the UN General Assembly on October 10, 1960, Foreign Minister Golda Meir challenged Arab leaders to meet with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to negotiate a peace settlement. Nasser answered on October 15, saying that Israel was trying to deceive world opinion, and reiterating that his country would never recognize the Jewish State

 
2. The Arabs were equally adamant in their refusal to negotiate a separate settlement for the refugees. As Nasser told the United Arab Republic National Assembly March 26, 1964:
   Israel and the imperialism around us, which confront us, are two separate things. There have been attempts to separate them, in order to break up the problems and present them in an imaginary light as if the problem of Israel is the problem of the refugees, by the solution of which the problem of Palestine will also be solved and no residue of the problem will remain. The danger of Israel lies in the very existence of Israel as it is in the present and in what she represents.

 
3. In 1963, the Arab League decided to introduce a new weapon in its war against Israel — the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The PLO formally came into being during a 1964 meeting of the first Palestinian Congress. Shortly thereafter, the group began to splinter into various factions. Ultimately, the largest faction, Fatah, would come to dominate the organization, and its leader, Yasser Arafat, would become the PLO chairman and most visible symbol. All the groups adhered to a set of principles laid out in the Palestine National Charter, which called for Israel's destruction.
   The PLO’s belligerent rhetoric was matched by deeds. Terrorist attacks by the group grew more frequent. In 1965, 35 raids were conducted against Israel. In 1966, the number increased to 41. In just the first four months of 1967, 37 attacks were launched. The targets were always civilians.

I believe WORLD WAR THREE was started by the Palestinians when they formed the PLO and immediately control was taken over by Fatah, which was under the leadership of Yasser Arafat. Now, I will openly admit that there have been many battles throughout the years, however, all of them are under the umbrella of WORLD WAR THREE in which the enemy is radical Islam.

Let's further examine history via a picture;

 

The map above shows the areas dominated by Islamic terrorism, you can clearly see the world has suffered under terrorism for a very long time. The main function of Islamic terrorism is to change GOVERNMENTAL and DIPLOMATIC agendas, which we have recently witnessed within the country of Spain, Canada, and America within the past 10 years.

 

I've attempted here to prove the threat of Islamic terrorism is real and has been threatening the world for the past 40+ years. The major point to this of course is how we are entwined into the book of revelations at this exact point in time, yet, also entwined into the book for the past 1990+ years. Let's look at the book of Ezekiel chapter 38:1-6

 

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, (2) "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the Land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, (3) " and say, "Thus says the Lord God; "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. (4) " I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horseman, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords, (5) "Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;(6) "Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all it's troops-many people are with you.

 

In reviewing the above you will see that Russia will lead an army into Israel in an attempt to wipe it off the face of the worlds map, however, further reading shows God will supernaturally defend Israel and destroy this Russian led invading military army. The interesting part to the above verses is the map, look at the area of Russia, minimal terrorist attacks compared to the middle east region, once again proven the fact that Russia is in bed with Islam. If you look at the other countries involved in this invasion you will see Germany, Turkey, Iran, Libya, Ethiopia all of which aside form Germany are hotbeds for Islamic fanatical terrorists. There is another interesting part to the above verses which is "many people are with you" alluding to the possibility of this force picking up additional forces from many nations along the way, the bulk of the forces coming from the above countries, however, many others joining along the way.

 

Now, the interesting circular time continuum of revelations being unveiled. We just discussed the terrorist threat to the world and my belief of world war three beginning 40+ years ago culminating with a Russian led coalition attacking Israel. Let's examine some other verses in Ezekiel and see if the book of revelations is unveiled even further:

Ezekiel 38:19-21

 

"For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, (20) 'so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beast of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.' (21) " I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains, " says the Lord God. "Every man's sword will be against his brother. (22) " And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire and brimstone.

 

Folks, this is a massive earthquake, a great destructive force that shakes the foundations of the earth, an earthquake which causes the forces of this mighty army to turn against itself and kill one another due to the confusion. Now, let's look at revelations being unveiled;

Revelations 6:12-13

 

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. (13) And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops it's late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

 

As the sixth seal is opened a great earthquake is felt across the world, causing massive destruction just as in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38:19-21 which causes the world to shake while an army attempting to invade Israel is destroyed. Folks, I contend this:

 

If Ezekiel prophesied about this 2500 years ago, and John was given the revelation 1990+ years ago then we have lived within revelations for the past 2000 years and as REVELATION IS UNVEILED so are the prophecies of the prophets. If revelations was revealed to Christ before He was born of a virgin, then revelations would actually have been the prelude to the new testament. Please follow this thought:

 

The book of Job comprises 42 chapters, yet what truly happens to set off Job's challenges is revealed in chapters 1 and 2, so why did Job go through all of those challenges if he knew what happened before it happened. He did not know, chapters 1 and 2 are actually revealed to Job after all his challenges, yet he wrote them as if they occurred first, they did not, the REVELATION WAS UNVEILED TO HIM after he went through it but he wrote it first. I believe as revelations declared Jesus was given the REVELATION of revelation first, but had man write about it after He died, because man was already into the unveiling.

 

The world is involved in World War three right now, which is not Armageddon as some have theorized. As the coalitions in the middle east continue to form and grow militarily stronger the SEALS of revelations are being unveiled by Christ Himself which culminates into two MAJOR EVENTS. The shaken of the persecutors (Muslim nations) of Israel, and the shaken of the (believer) church, the separation of the wheat from the tares. WELCOME TO THE REVELATION!!

Your Living In Revelation, Time is Constant (Part Two)

In the previous posting I talk about the circular time continuum vs the straight time continuum and understanding revelations. I wish to explore all three in this post and hopefully plant some seeds within your spirit inspiring you to open the book and explore it's treasure. The word revelation in the Greek is apokalypsis and according to Strong's concordance means; an uncovering or unveiling. I would ask this question; doesn't something need to be there before you can unveil it?

I have been deeply rooted in revelations for about one year and I'm personally convinced the unveiling of the book of revelations has been happening since AD 70, the year Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. I know the writing of John through all historical accounts began around AD 94-95 but believe revelations began in 70 AD based on the following scriptures;

Revelation 1;9 which reads;

I, John, both your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island of Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

In examining the words companion in tribulation and expounding on them through the use of the Strong's Concordance you will find these words (sygkoinōnos thilipsis) to mean participant with others in oppression, distress and affliction.

We can see by these words John was a participant in the tribulation, a time of great distress, oppression and affliction which I believe has been continuing for almost 1900+ years. I also believe John was not only writing these words for the churches of Asia minor but as a continuum of time over the past 1900+ yrs. Time is on a circular continuum, we can clearly see that the 7 churches of Asia minor do not exist in the world today as they did then, but, the fact is great distress, oppression and afflictions continue today, and the same conditions of the 7 churches within Asia minor exist in the churches of the world today.

• Message to Ephesus was; Left your first love

 
• Message to Smyrna was; Spiritually growing

 
• Message to Pergamos was; False teachings

 
• Message to Thyatria was; Sexually immoral

 
• Message to Sardis was; Spiritually dead

 
• Message to Philadelphia was; Spiritually strong

 
• Message to Laodicia was; Being Lukewarm

I would claim there are churches not only in America but throughout the world still struggling with what the churches of Asia Minor struggled with, contending that on the circular continuum of time history UNVEILS itself to us daily, thus the book of revelations has been unveiled to us for the past 1900+ years, unveiling the (tribulation / rapture) revelation of Jesus Christ throughout all the generations.

Let's also examine another truth and that is; WHAT IS THE CHURCH?

The church is the believer in Christ, us, each and everyone who believes Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior. It would then be easy to declare that the distress, oppression and afflictions experienced during John's writing and within the 7 churches of Asia minor, can easily be found in the ones who believe in Christ. There are believers who are;

• Leaving their first love

 
• Spiritually growing

 
• False Teachers

 
• Sexually Immoral

 
• Spiritually dead

 
• Spiritually strong

 
• Lukewarm

I will take this subject a little deeper, look at the (7) seals within chapter 6 and 8

1. antichrist rises

 
2. No Peace on earth

 
3. Economic crisis

 
4. Battles, death begin

 
5. Slain martyrs

 
6. Great Earthquake

 
7. Silence

We must look at what makes these seals different because if we look throughout world history we can historically and Biblically prove the following;

 
1. There have been many antichrist

 
2. There has been periods of time without peace

 
3. There have been economic collapses over the centuries

 
4. There have been battles and death

 
5. There have been martyrs for Christ

 
6. There have been earthquakes

 
7. There has been silence (WAIT)

I cannot historically or Biblically find where there was silence in the heavens for about 30 minutes. WHY is this important, it's important because the seventh trumpet is being blown after this 30 minute period which is the call for the RAPTURE as written in Chapter 11, which I have discussed in a previous (Belief of Faith part one / part two) posting.

 

Please, pay attention to this part, the seventh seal is a TIME OF SILENCE but THE SEVENTH TRUMPET is a time of loud voices, something is occurring during this 30 minutes, what is it? The 6 trumpets are being blown. I pray you are absorbing this, during the silence and just prior to the loud voices we move through 6 trumpet sounds which cover;

• 1/3 of earths vegetation destroyed

 
• 1/3 of sea turns to blood

 
• 1/3 of rivers become contaminated

 
• 1/3 of light is lost

 
• plague of terrible locusts

 
• 1/3 of mankind is destroyed

***I'm not claiming all the above destruction occurs within 30 minutes, but, within 30 minutes all the trumpets are blown*****

It appears the 6 trumpets are blown within this half hour period just as a 21 gun salute is set off during a military funeral, one trumpet blown right after each other setting off death and destruction throughout the world.

I believe this is because the UNVEILING OF REVELATIONS IS COMPLETED. The entire revelation of Jesus Christ has been revealed and the RAPTURE of the CHURCH occurs. Throughout history we cannot argue about (1-6) the above occurring, each one has occurred throughout the past 1900+ years, yet, the SEALS (1-6) above are different, they ARE OPENED BY CHRIST HIMSELF. During the past 1900+ years the book of revelations has been unveiled by His angel not by Christ Himself. Look at Revelations Chapter 1 vs 1;

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His Servants-things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John.

Look, God gave the REVELATION OF CHRIST to Christ who gave it to His angel to show His servant John. What was the revelation God gave to Christ? His second coming, the end of the revelation of Christ. The end of oppression, distress, and affliction throughout the world for the Church. Jesus Christ is married to the church which is raptured out just prior to God's wrath upon the unbelievers, the persecutors of Israel.

In closing I believe the ideology of revelations starting and ending within a limited time frame has led to a wrong mainstream theology about Christ, the tribulation, the Great tribulation, His return and the rapture. We have been living in revelations for 1900+ years. Welcome to the REVELATION!!

Your Living In Revelation, Time is constant

This map is not submitted to be critiqued, it's relevance is not in the map itself but in the little rectangles located throughout the entire map. The rectangles correlate to TIME, as it continues in each of the areas throughout the world, a nutshell version would be the three hour difference in time between the west coast and east coast of the United States, time is constantly moving, however, we enter and exit time at different intervals along the same continuum.

The point is; because this continuum of time exists and we enter and exit at different intervals we are living in the book of revelations and have been for a very long time. The book of revelations which outlines a period of time is typically believed to be a starting and ending point of time along a straight line continuum, however, I believe since time is not a straight line continuum as it is perceived to be but it's actually a circular continuum we move within the book of revelations daily and are entwined within the events written daily.

I will use an ice rink as a simple example, If you stood in the middle of the rink and slowly turned around in a circle and looked at your watch at 12:00, you would see some people falling, standing up, doing splits, twists etc, yet it's the same time and all those activities are surrounding you, simultaneously happening along the circular continuum of that precise time.

The book of revelations should be studied in the same manner, as if you were on an ice skating rink, however, many review it as a prophetic book full of only future events that begin at a CERTAIN POINT in time, and once they begin they abruptly end within a short period (7-10 years) of time. If we except this ideology the book of revelations then becomes a book of doom and gloom as most perceive it today.

I ask you to review the book of revelations as the center of the ice skating rink and all the other prophetic books (Daniel, Matthew, Zachariah, Ezekiel etc) as the events which are happening on the circular continuum of time, you can now have all the events happening simultaneously yet impacting time differently. You can have a war going on between Iran and Iraq while you have a famine in Turkey, flooding along the Mississippi River while the economies of the world collapse etc. The events are impacting the world as depicted within revelations, yet, on the same circular continuum of time.

Let's pull some scripture;

Matthew 24:3-8

(3)Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when we will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (4) And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. (5) "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. (6) And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (7) "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthqueakes in various places. (8) "All these are the beginning of sorrows.

We can review the above verses and clearly see the second coming will be during the above timeframe. a timeframe full of wars and rumors of wars, however, that timeframe will not only be the second coming. Let's examine;

Now I saw when the Lamb opened ONE OF the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder. "Come and see." (2) And I looked, and behold, a white horse And he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (3) When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." (4) And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

The key to these verses are the words ONE OF the seals above, as I have discussed in a previous posting (Belief or faith what do you have) theology has taught this to be the NUMBER ONE SEAL which was opened when in fact it's not, it's the first of seven seals opened. I contend if it was the number one seal then time would exist on a straight line, however, since it is one of seven seals opened time is on a circular continuum thus we have not seen the anti-christ as of this date but as of this date he is alive and has probably shook hands with many world leaders. We review the second of seven seals opened; peace being removed from the earth, which I contend has happened. We review the third of seven seals opened; which is the pair of scales, which involves money and I believe this seal has been broken within the past 2 years, seeing that the entire world is in economic crisis. I would also ask this of you; read back several verses within the scriptures and you will read the SCROLL was written on both sides, so as the scroll is rolled open the Lord is breaking the seals as He desires, not in an order of 1-7.

 

In closing;

 

I believe we would not have seen wars and heard rumors of wars, nor witnessing peace being taken from the world along with the beginnings of an economic collapse if we where not already living in the time of revelations. If we where not living in the time of revelations now because time did not operate as a circular continuum then we would have to wait for the anti-christ to rise FIRST before we heard of rumors of wars, seen famines, and pestilence, or even had the birth pains of a global economic collapse.

Rise Of MILITARY Homosexuality, Why?

I want to start off with a statement; I'm not anti-homosexual, however I'm definitely anti-homosexuality and I do hate the sin, as I hate all sin, even the sins I myself repent of daily. The challenge with discussing this type of sin is it's an EMOTIONALLY based sin and based on published research very difficult to turn away from because of the emotional (per-say) feelings attached to it. I know there will be readers who will immediately attack and become offensive just by reading the title, leaving comments that will not be pleasing to read, but, we must understand the root of this sin and that's why we'll discuss it here.

There is a movement throughout the world for gay unions which is gaining more and more momentum, either passing the supportive rights through legislation, the courts, or open balloting there is no hiding the ideology of a gay movement. In America we have 31 states that have blocked the movement through open balloting with Maine being the last of the 31 states.

I believe the act of homosexuality is a sin, just as I believe murder, gossip, adultery are sins, however there seems to be this over zealous push to bring an open gay agenda to the military of the world. I believe with a societal push to legalize gay marriage, equality rights etc there would be no need to push the agenda into the military, yet we are hearing more and more about this agenda within the military throughout the world.

Here is the list of countries that support gay rights;

Argentina Australia Austria Belgium Bermuda Canada Czech Republic
Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Ireland Israel

Italy Lithuania Luxembourg The Netherlands New Zealand
Norway Philippines Romania Slovenia South Africa Spain

Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom Uruguay

Here is the list of countries that openly support gay rights in the military:

Australia Austria Belgium Canada Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Ireland Israel Italy Lithuania Luxembourg Netherlands New Zealand Norway Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland UK Uruguay

Here is a the list of Famous known Military Leaders who were supposedly gay or bisexual:

Alexander the Great-Julius Caesar-Hadrian -Tiberius - Nero-Commodus

Winston Churchill Admiral Mountbatten-Field Marshalls Kitchener

Haig and Montgomery-Hitler-Prince Eulenberg-Friedrich Krupp

Montgomery-Britain's most famous general-The Mountbattens-Napoleon

Alfred Red -Guy Burgess -Captain Macnamara -J H Sharp

Tom Wylie and Edouard Pfeiffer. (list obtained from click here)

I believe the sin of homosexuality is the gravest sin lucifer has burdened man with, yes, I truly believe the sin of homosexuality is of Lucifer / Satan. Now, let me be clear I do not believe the individual who has accepted this lifestyle is sadistic or evil, I simply believe Lucifer has used the emotions tied to this sin to destroy civilizations throughout the worlds history, Biblically stated and historically proven. I'm not going to discuss Sodom or Gomorrah here, nor the tribe of Benjamin but the point is simple; The father of lies is Satan as stated in John 8:44 and he has lied to mankind about this sin for 1000's of years. Look, why is there no massive agenda for adultery, pedophiles, or even incestuous acts. You can look throughout the past 6000 years and the one emotionally driven sin that rises to the top of the list in all civilizations is homosexuality, why?

Point: I believe the reason there is an agenda to move gay rights into all military across the world is because the one true military leader that descends on the world and is used by Satan and transformed by his spirit into the anti-christ will be a leader who exemplifies the homosexual lifestyle. I believe Lucifer is THE SPIRIT OF HOMOSEXUALITY. There are many sinful demonic spirits, however I believe Lucifer himself owns this one. Let's examine Daniel 11:37:

"He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all.

The prophet Daniel claims two specific references to the ONE true anti-christ who rises on the world scene in the last days and attempts to conquer the known world. We must remember in opening a full study of the anti-christ you will see he is definitely a military leader who enters peacefully yet destroys once he's in. Why does Daniel point to the fact that this one anti-christ, this last anti-christ on the world scene "does not desire of women", why does Daniel also point to the fact that he will not honor the "God of his fathers".

First, I believe he is given us a distinct reference to this last world leader, that he is a gay military leader. The word desire when expounding on it through Strong's concordance means, " to delight in the women" which we can see by the above scripture this world leader will not seek the delight of women.

Secondly, could he possibly be a Hebraic military leader? The scripture claims he will not "honor the God of his fathers" and if we look at the above countries that allow for open gay military recruitment you will see that Israel is on both lists.

In Closing:

I do not personally believe the anti-christ will be 100% Hebraic, but, will be of Arabic / Hebraic descent. The Israeli's honor this leader for the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year peace treaty, yet, he breaks the treaty and desecrates the Temple, so he must be of Hebraic descent somewhere within his lineage.

It's Time To Pick It Up!!

There is no book like the Bible!!
Charles Anderson Dana (1819-1897) was the editor-in-chief of the New York Sun, one of the largest newspapers in the country, considered by many the most brilliant journalist in the country at the time.

We look at the news today through the secular media and we see anything but positive influential information. We witness lies stretched into truth, we witness negative unpopular news as frontpage heroics portraying the sinful nature of man as the inspiring triumphant overcoming accomplishment of man, we see abortionists treated as victims, homosexuality treated as a bad gene, and adultury portrayed as the norm. The scripture declares;

• How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. (Proverbs 16: 16)

There is NO WISDOM and or UNDERSTANDING within the secular media today, you cannot find either in any newspaper or on any news channel. We as believers must discern the truth in these last days so we are not caught off guard. We must guard the truth and bear true witness to everyone. We must also accept the reality that we all fall short of the Glory of God and all are sinners and need repentance, however, knowing the truth will set us free.

Let's see what Charles Anderson Dana delcared;

• I believe in Christianity; that it is the religion taught to men by God Himself in person on earth. I also believe the Bible to be Divine revelation. Christianity is not comparable with any other religion. It is the religion which came from God's own lips, and therfore the only true religion. The incarnation is a fact, and Christianity is based on revealed truth.
• There are some books that are absolutely indispensable to the kind of education that we are contemplating, and to the profession that we are now considering; and of all these the most indispendsable, the most useful, the one whose knowledge is most effective, is the Bible.
• There is no book from which more valuable lessons can be learned. I am considering it now as a manual of utility, or professional preparation, and professional use for a journalist. There is no book whose style is more suggestive and more instructive, from which you learn more directly that sublime simplicity which never exaggerates, which recounts the greatest event with solemnity, of course, but without sentimentality or affection, none which you open with such confidence and lay down with such reverence; there is no book like the Bible.

I urge each and everyone of you reading this to begin a journey through the scripture, to deprive yourself of the daily newspaper, to walk away from sin each and everyday, cherish the articulate truth within the word of God. The Bible is the light in a dark world..

It's time FOR ALL to pick it up!

What we are really missing!!

I would like to take each of you on a journey into the past, a past which prompted a future full of phenomenal success wonder and greatness, a future which established the greatest country too have ever existed. The journey begins with some of our founding fathers convictions;

• "It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ." (attributed to Patrick Henry, governor of Virginia)
• "Principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it: and my body I recommend to the earth...nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mercy and power of God." (John Hancock)
• "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." (John Jay, First Chief Justice)
• "...to the supreme head of the universe-to that great and tremendous Jehovah-Who created the universal frame of nature, worlds, and systems in number infinite...To this awfully sublime Being do I resign my spirit with unlimited confidence of His mercy and protection." (Henry Knox, Revolutionary War General)
• "Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments." (Charles Carroll, signer of declaration of Independence)
• "My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!" (Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence)
• "WE RECOGNIZE NO SOVEREIGN BUT GOD, AND NO KING BUT JESUS!" (John Hancock and John Adams)

The above quotes taken from the "The American Patriots Bible" which was recently published and generally edited by Dr. Richard G Lee. I highly recommend this Bible for an insight into the past and founding of this great country. The above men adorned a sovereign God, and understood a great country needed a great foundation, and relied on the Gospel and Jesus Christ to create the greatest gentile nation the world has ever known. The amazing fact is these were not pastors, preachers, or Biblical scholars, these were everyday men who understood the act of repentance, salvation, and prayer, and without the Grace and Mercy of God they were nothing and would establish nothing.

In looking at today's men and women who encompass the federal governments senate, congress military and even white house we can see a huge difference in the mindset. In looking at our political landscape today it is not about a gospel or a God, it's about selfish elitist philosophies which are detrimental to the fabric of this great country. We are so far removed from our original founders mindset and beliefs it's no wonder our country is on the brink of being destroyed by socialist Marxist zealots.

They serve no god but themselves and it is evident in our country today. It's self evident that America has turned away from God and He has removed His Grace and Mercy. The country needs a leader that will call upon us to repent, pray, and edify the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the begotten father of Jesus Christ.
