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...

God Bless

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?

The Presidents White Horse (repost)

As we move into the future, this must be reinforced within the believer / unbeliever...

In a previous posting I talked about the possibility of living within the book of Revelation 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 Revelation 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 Revelation 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 Revelation 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 Revelation and not the Jews. The seal judgments 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 judgments 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 judgment unto their bride, Jesus for the Church from Revelation 1-11 and God for the Jew from Revelation 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 Revelation 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 Revelation 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 Revelation 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 proliferator 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 Muslin
raised in Indonesia which is a Muslin 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..

LOT VS NOAH, which one are you

We are going to jump right into the scripture within this discussion. Let's review the following scriptures: Genesis 19: 1-9

1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way. ”and they said, “No, but we will spend the night in the open square.” 3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.” 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.” 9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

Please pay attention to these key verses: 1, 5,6,7,8

In verse one Lot was sitting inside the gate of Sodom, and watched as the two angels of the Lord showed themselves to Lot, we can discern this because Lot puts his head down in humility towards the ground, knowing well their presence in Sodom is not to be cordial. As we continue to read verses 5-8 the two angels enter into Lot's house and within a period of time the towns men come to the house and begin to beat on the door, urging Lot to send out the two men who had entered the house earlier. The men of the town wanted to engage them in a carnal way according to the scriptures and what does Lot do, he opens the door and begins to negotiate with the men outside his door. He actually offers the men his two daughters and states the following: AND YOU MAY DO TO THEM AS YOU WISH. Lot actually would have allowed his two daughters to be raped and or killed, AND, he knew the men within his dwelling were angels of Lord and would protect his family from any harm. The proof is in verse 9:11where the ANGELS said this; (11) And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

Now, let's move onto Noah since we established a little history about Lot.

I will keep the history of Noah brief because we are all aware of the Ark story which has made Noah a household name, regardless of one's belief.

Let's review Genesis 6: 16-17

"You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with a lower, second, and third decks. (17) " And behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; and everything that is on the earth shall die.

Let's review Genesis 7: 7

So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his son's wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

Let's review Genesis 7:10

And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

It is clear once it began to rain after the first seven days the water level began to show signs of flooding and Noah and his family entered the ark. If we look now at the end of verse 16 it is clear: AND THE LORD SHUT HIM IN.

If we look at the positions of Lot and Noah we can clearly see a distinction, one has a compromising belief system and the other has a conviction belief system. These two men facing strenuous situations acted differently yet both men had the protection of God, Lot with the two angels of the Lord and Noah with God Himself, yet one compromises and opens the door to the house and begins to negotiate with the outside world, compromising the integrity of his house to appease the carnal aspects of the flesh.

Noah, faced with rising flood waters does not turn back towards the carnal aspects of the flesh, he does not go out calling to the world, he does not send his sons out to save anyone, he does not jeopardize his family. He entered the ark as commanded by God and did not turn from his conviction nor his belief in God, he did not compromise.

If we take a second look at Lot in Genesis 14:11-12

Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way. (12) They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

Let's continue with verse 14

Now when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

We can clearly see Lot did not learn a lesson, he was taken prisoner in the above verses as Sodam and Gamorrah where attacked and raided, yet, in chapter 19 vs 1 above we read Lot is sitting inside the gate of Sodom. How is it a man given endless blessings from his family and from God continues to make his way back to the carnality of Sodam.

The reality is Lot had a spirit of compromise and Noah had a spirit of conviction. If we look at the world today and the stories of Lot and Noah and our own lives what type of spirit do we have?

Is it one of compromise or conviction?

• Are we allowing pornography into our homes?
• Are we allowing alcohol (excessive) into our homes?
• Are we allowing worldly words into our house (swearing)?
• Are we allowing inappropriate TV shows into our homes, Showtime, HBO etc?

or

• Are we reading the scriptures daily?
• Are we protecting our family everyday with prayer?
• Are we turning off the HBO, Showtime, etc?
• Are we turning off the radio garbage of lyrics like, death, drugs, murder etc?

In closing:

 

Through compromise Lot lost everything including some family members. Through conviction Noah sustained no losses, only favor and blessings from God. What path are we taking? I understand we are all sinners and no one is righteous and all fall short of the glory of God, yet, we must choose a position we are going to live within, a position of compromising for the world or conviction for God. I've chosen conviction, understanding it's not perfection for none are perfect. What is it if a man gains the world yet looses his soul?

What would world war three look like?

Ladies and Gentleman,

If your looking for a war in the near future you need to look no further.

This video was taken by the Christian Action Network and clearly shows what is happening in this country. In a previous posting I illustrated why I believe we are involved in world war three at this very moment. We should not be looking for a uniformed militant armed foreign governmental enemy coming upon our shores to attack us, we have in our own backyards a group of individuals who could potentially pose the greatest threat to this country and nobody (agency wise) will attempt to shut down these compounds. Why?

 

I believe the reason is very clear, we have turned away from God as a nation and He is turning us over to the enemy each and everyday. I know this discussion is not politically correct and it is not intended to appease anyone. We must face the truth and understand very challenging times are ahead of us as a country, both politically and economically. We must turn back towards the Bible, Let's see what Charles Anderson Dana declared;

• 
  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 therefore 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 indispensable, 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.

Please understand there is a fanatical branch of Islam which is at war with America and most of the non-muslim countries. As fanatical radicals within the Islam religion can they truly be committed to America, here is what they believe.

1. Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia .
2. Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam.
3. Scriptural - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran)
4. Geographically - no His allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
5. Socially - no. His allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
6. Politically - no. He must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.
7. Domestically - no. He is instructed to marry several women.
8. Intellectually - no. He cannot accept Americas constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
9. Philosophically - no. Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
10. Spiritually - no. When we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

We must pay attention to our surroundings everyday and understand the more freedoms we loose, the more freedoms the enemy obtains. I urge each of you reading this to pick up your Bible and begin developing your relationship with Jesus Christ, only through Him is there redemption and salvation.

 

Welcome to the Revelation!

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 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.

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..

God Bless The Repenter!!

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!!

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!

The BIBLICAL Truth About America!!

Yes,
I'm using Biblical scripture relevant to the demise of (Gentile Nations) America. You will not hear this on the major media networks or liberal / conservative blogs. The Biblical fact is the "switch" is about to be turned from prosperity too demise. I will give you a brief history into the Hebrew denial of the Gospel allowing Gentiles to be grafted into the family of God. The greatest ministry of the Gospel began under Paul which we will explore within the book of Romans.

Lets review Romans 10:1-3
Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they may have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

Paul is declaring Israel (Jews) knows the knowledge (Law) of God but they do not have a personal zeal and loving relationship with Him. They have the law but not the love.

Lets review Romans 10:14-17
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who brign glad tidings of good things!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

Paul is declaring that even when God sends a messenger, one such as Paul who was a converted Jew to teach the gospel and speak the word of the Lord the Jews do not believe in the Gospel, the word of God.

Let's review Romans 10:21
But to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.

Paul is declaring Israel has rejected the hand of God and the Gospel of the word.

Now the recap of Chapter 10 is; Israel rejects God and the Gospel, thus God begins to turn away from them.

As we move into Chapter 11 we will see a plan (prophecy) begin to be laid out by Paul. I believe this prophecy is underway right now and we are witnessing it first hand, we are the generation that will usher in the second coming of Christ. Let's review;

Chapter 11:1-2
I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew.
Chapter 11:11
I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

Paul is declaring that God has not completely turned away from His people (Jews) but a plan is being put forth to create jealousy within His chosen people, the Jews. Paul declares Israel has stumbled and due to this He will open the salvational plan of Jesus unto the Gentiles.

Chapter 11:16
For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the brances. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Paul is declaring the WILD OLIVE TREE (Gentiles) will be grafted into the (Hebrew) family of God, however the Wild Olive Tree should not be arrogant and boast against the Hebrews because the root of the Gentiles is His people the Jews.

Chapter 11:23
And they also, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be igonorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from jacob; For this is my covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

Paul is declaring there will come a time in the future when the grafted in (Gentiles) Olive Tree will be ungrafted and the natural (Hebrew) Olive Tree will be grafted back into their original tree. God also claims to have only blinded His people and there will come a day that ALL ISRAEL will be saved based on His covenant. We must look at the above scripture and see what the "switch" will be when the Gentiles are ungrafted and the Hebrews are grafted back in, there is a switch, a point in time when this will happen and I believe we are on the verge of seeing this switch click over to demise for the (nations) gentiles.

I believe the "switch" is The fulness of the Gentiles which I believe is the preaching of the gospel to all the world. There is not much of the world left to preach too. Paul does not declare all the world will accept the gospel, however, it will be preached to all the world.

Please look at the world today and understand time is "not on your side". The fulness is at hand, the switch is about to be turned from prosperity to demise for America. A key piece of evidence is and will continue to be the departure of Jews from foreign lands, migrating back to their homeland, Israel. They are relocating back to Israel daily!!!
