So Called Image Of The Beast

If broadcasting became World Government T.V. - WGTV - would it be noticed?

"..and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak.." Revelation 13:15.

The word "image" here, is G1504 in the Greek concordance - "eikon - a likeness of, from 1503, eiko - through the idea of faintness as a copy".

APOCALYPSE IN FEW WORDS

FIRST A QUICK SUMMARY OF THIS OUTLINE:

        a. This outline ignores inner, spiritual symbolisms other than how, ultimately, `
            all which is built upon untruth, can only fail and fall.
        b. The Hiroshima, Nagasaki thermonuclear bombing in 1945 was the breaking
            open of a sixth seal on a scroll called the Revelation vision, or Apocalypse.
            Following this, a pause.
        c. Until limited thermonuclear. (In or from the Middle East?)
        d. The office which began its use and a world body become much stronger
            and join forces; Peace treaties.
        e. Peace treaty w/ Israel is broken, (and the place of?) daily prayers is
            removed/ceased/taken away.
        f. Much drought - Regional conflicts of the world flare back up - Marshall
           Law five months - Mega troops from China to Middle East
           battleground - Man's global "city" had crashed? now falls.
        g. Three years plus seven months (made up of 30 da. months) after the treaty
            w/ Israel is broken, the notorious '666' is "set up". And "blessed is the one
            who comes to (the) forty-five days later".
            (Daniel 12:11,12; all other verses are in the outline.)

I. Revelation 13:13 occurred in the year 1945, pinpointing an office.
   This is also "Seal Six" of chapter 6, verses 12 through 17.
        a. The "Seals" are described as a blend of
            (1) what they are at their beginning, and
            (2) what they are as fully grown and at full maturity, at the 'end'.
            This obscures much of the Revelation vision.

II. We are in the pause of thermonuclear as warfare. (Rev. 7:1 to 8:6)

III. (Rev. 8:5, and later 8:7-12) - Limited thermonuclear warfare (in or from
      the Middle East?) This is the breaking (open) of the "Seventh Seal" on the
      scroll which is the Revelation vision. At the breaking of the 7th Seal things
      escalate. The scroll is fully unrolled.
        a. Seven angels with "Trumpets" prepare to sound with these results:
            (1) Environmental woes
            (2) Droughts (Rev. 12:16 + Luke 23:28,31)
            (3) The (two horned) office of Rev. 13:13 or one of that office (at one time?)
                  takes his/her seat in the prime office(?) of Rev. 13:1-10 a world beast/body
                  "which was, then wasn't" (when its head expired, not having signed on
                  after all) then after 13:13 "was once again" but lacks "breath"
                  (much authority) for some time (verses 14,15).
                  Treaties, especially between the dove and the vulture?
                  A (world?) Great Treaty? (Or just w/ Israel?)
            (4) Israel's (place of?) daily prayers and praise is taken away.
                  Aka? Matthew 24:1-2, "..not one stone will be left one atop another"..?

IV. Global Babylon (called harlot, the Greek "pornos" and "to sell") of the Earth
      crashes "in one hour.."

V. Three final "Woes" (results of mankind's doings)
        a. Five months of Marshall Law, via helicopters, or? (Rev. 9:5-10, written 90 C.E.)
        b. Troops from China to the Middle East battleground / Great War (Rev. 9:14,16)
        c. Daniel 12:11,12 - From the time Israel's (place of?) daily prayers and praise is
            removed, until 666 is "set-up" will be 3.5 Hebrew years, plus thirty days.
            Blessed is the one who makes it to day 1,335.. which is 45 days later.

VI. Babylon the Great / Global Babylon,
      whose forehead (psyche) is "Mystery Babble" (all untruth)
      falls "in one day.." (Rev. chapters 17 and 18)
         a. (During?) "...will lead to streams of living water" (Rev. 7:17)
             "..waters in the day when the towers fall". (Isaiah 30:25)
         b. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days.. they will see the
             Son of man coming on the clouds with power and great glory."
             (Matthew 24:29,30)
           
             "When Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels and in fire ..He
             will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather
             His own from the four winds of Earth."
             (2 Thessalonians 1:7,8; Matthew 24:31 )

             "The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
             of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise,
             and those believers who are alive shall be caught up together with them in
             the clouds to meet the Lord.." .."He comes on the clouds with ten thousands
             and thousands of His holy ones." (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Jude 1:14)

             "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trumpet  ..the dead
             shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed, for this corruptible
             must put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality..
             swallowing death in victory". (1 Corinthians 15:52-54)
             "As we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the
             image of the heavenly." (Verse 49)

             "When the 7th angel sounds his trumpet, loud voices in heaven say, 'The
             kingdoms of the world are become the kingdoms of our LORD (God) and
             of His Christ (Messiah) and He shall reign forever and ever'." (Rev. 11:15)

        c.  "...lightnings, noises, thunderings, earthquake, and great hail.."
             (Great debris? when the towers fall?) (Rev. 11:19)
             "Come out of her (city Babylon) my people.." (Rev. 18:4)
        d.  "And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount(ain)
             of Olives," Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14:4)

VII. His return is called the "Second Advent" and the "millennium" ("Day of the LORD")
        a. "He shall judge nations.. they shall beat their weapons into plowshares
            and pruning hooks.." (Micah 4:3)
        b. The millennium of Jesus lasts 1000 years.

VIII. "When the 1000 years are ended.." (Rev. 20:7)
        a. "the dead, small and great, stand before God" - this is the 2nd resurrection,
            which is of all those not resurrected in the first one,
        b. and which, at the conclusion of, "death and the grave" (usually translated 'hell')
            are no more .(Rev. 20:7-14)
        c. "The books are opened" - A great 'day' of the review of all mankind's
            history and doings? "I will put my law into their hearts. And in their
            minds I will write them." (Hebrews 10:16 & Jeremiah 32:33) "The queen
            of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation ...for
            indeed a greater than Solomon is here..." ( Luke 11:31)
            "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all
            the families of the nations will worship before Him." (Psalm 22:27)
                (1) If Jesus' 1st Advent is said to have fulfilled Israel's ancient Spring
                     Holy Days (as prophecy)
                (2) Won't the three peaks of His long 2nd Advent fulfill the stretched
                      out Autumn Holy Days of :
                       #1 - Trumpets - 10 days (1000 years) later
                       #2 - Day of Atonement - with the next, #3, 5 days (500 years) later
                                a. Day of Atonement was an annual, historic, national day
                                    of great mourning, repentance and forgiveness.
                                    (1) "Whatsoever soul will not be afflicted in that day will be
                                          cut off from among his people." (Leviticus 23:29)
                                    (2) All Jubilee's began on a Day of Atonement.
                                 b. (Then) "anyone whose name is" (still) "not written in the Book
                                     of Life" (still not believing/redeemed/reconciled/in love
                                     with God) "are cast ("age-lasting"-per the Aramaic and the
                                     Greek words used vs the English) "into the lake of fire".
                        #3 - (Until finally) Tabernacles - God, the Father "will now tabernacle"
                               (tent/live with) man on Earth made new, in a universe made
                               new - "Behold. I make all things new." (Rev. 21:3,5)
                                 a. The heavenly Father, "God" who "is Love," Life, Perfection
                                     (1 Jn 4 and 5) "will be all in all". (1 Corinthians 15:21-28)
                                 b. "All things in heaven and earth having been gathered
                                     into Jesus" (Colossians 1:20)
                                 c. "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
                                     clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and..
                                     ..on each side of the river.. the tree of life, bearing
                                     twelve manner of fruit each month.. and the leaves
                                     of the tree for the healing of the nations.. Behold,
                                     I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the
                                     words of the prophecy written in this scroll..
                                     ..And God will wipe away every tear.. there shall be no
                                     more death, nor sorrow, pain, nor crying."
                                     (Rev. 22:1-2,7; 21:4) "The lion will eat straw like
                                     the ox. The bear will graze with the cow."
                                     (Isaiah 11:7)

OKAY THIS IS WEIRD

I was born on 05/05/55. So people tell me I should play the lottery using fives, especially "55". I never have. But here's a weird thing. I've become convinced that Daniel chapter 12, verse 11, is prophecy that Jerusalem's "Wailing" or "Western Wall" where prayers are offered daily, will be in some way taken away or removed. And is a sign.

I think most Bible prophecy buffs and scholars believe verse eleven refers to a third temple and its sacrifices being terminated. (This of course might make verse eleven an even later date to take note of, than if the "Wailing Wall" is demolished.)

In Matthew chapter 24, the first two verses, the disciples were praising and saying to Jesus how magnificent the temple and temple complex was.

But Jesus said, "See all these? Not one stone shall remain atop another." I do not believe this has been (fully) fulfilled yet. The "western" section of the "wall" remains standing, after the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem which occurred in 70 a.d.

Daniel 12, eleven and twelve, read "From the time the daily sacrifice" (daily offerings, oblations, prayers; place of?) "is removed, and the abomination which makes desolate" (666?) "is set-up, shall be 1,290 days" (three 30 day month years, plus seven months; or, that is, 43 Hebrew thirty day months). "Blessed is the one who waits and comes to 1,335 days" (forty five days later).
-    -    -    -

Daniel 12:11,12 -Young's Literal Translation (YLT) [words added to the text]

"11 and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

12 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five."

-    -    -    -

I have of course, been praying to know if how I'm reading this is accurate or not accurate. (That the 666 apparatus will be set up 3.5 years, plus one month after Israel's Wailing Wall is removed, taken away or destroyed. And will hum along for 45 days.) I don't want to pass along something which is not true.

The weird thing? To me, anyway? Today I learned that in 1967, the Israeli paratrooper brigade which liberated Jerusalem, finding themselves at the sacred Western Wall, was brigade No. 55.

Note - it's hard for "one" to "wait and come to" 1,335 years, which is how it is most often interpreted. (Just because 3.5 is used elsewhere.)

 Whatever that sign is, of verse 11, I think it's important to take note of.

(I'm going to post this on my other blog - Inner Monastery )

THE BEAST

I'm sure you have heard of "the beast" in Bible prophecy, and that it has to do with that mysterious number, 666. This is in the Book of Revelation, chapter 13.  But did you know there are two beasts? The most prominent beast - the one I would call "THE beast" - is verses one through ten. A 'big' beast. And verses eleven through eighteen are a 'little' beast.

Beast one is a world beast, or that is a world empire or world body, which rises to much power. Beast two is a prominent office of man. Yes, he's the famous 666 one, but it's - an office - which is pinpointed, here, in Revelation chapter 13. And dig this, the verse which pinpoints the office? Verse 13:13.

So picture this, verse 13 says, "he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." For the life of me I can't imagine why this doesn't ring more bells! Like man's splitting of the atom isn't in Bible prophecy! (Maybe hints at it in Ezekiel.)

Revelation 13:13 - "he.. makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men" - 1945, fire, upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Earth's final antiChrist (it's a person, for we have his number, and yes there's been others) will be associated with that same office which brought down that fire. Likely associated with the office, previously to being in the main seat of the world beast (of verses one through ten).

The world beast here, and also in the book of (in the writings of) the prophet Daniel, is described as having ten horns. (Leading us to believe there are clues and information about it in both Revelation and Daniel.) Daniel is second only to the Book of Revelation when it comes to latter day Bible prophecy. Revelation (about 90 a.d.) says he "has seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns" (from Revelation 13:1-3). And Daniel (about 550 b.c.) says he has "ten horns in his head.. with iron teeth and bronze claws" (from Daniel 7:19 and 20).

In the next lesson, we will discuss how we know the "iron" is Roman (based) and the "bronze" is Greek (based). The last days world beast will be something which sprang up upon Roman and Greek (Roman/Graeco) foundations, what is called "the classical world". And what was built upon it? Western civilization. Think Roman politics, courts, senates, architecture; along with Greek drama, arts, philosophy, universities, etc. A world body rises to power, having iron teeth (columns!) and with bronze claws "breaks apart" or "scatters". [This is not to say nations of the Middle and Far East are not also players in the Book of Revelation vision.]

APOCALYPSE MADE PLAIN

An Overview Before Proceeding Further
Revelation Chapters 8, 9 and 14

So What's Next? Now that we know we are in the pause of the splitting of the atom used for warfare, what can we expect to occur next?

If you remember, man's splitting of the atom, was the opening of the `sixth seal` on the scroll which is the Book of Revelation vision.

"The Day Which Shook the Earth"
 - Hiroshima witness, Hachiya, Michihiko - "two bright flashes, darkness, ppl wounded, walking but silent" - Hiroshima Diary (1955) - "Surviving the Atomic Attack on Hiroshima, 1945," -- from "EyeWitness to History" - http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/hiroshima.htm (2001)

"When the Seventh Seal is broken, there is a hush in heaven for the space of about half an hour." - Rev 8:1
..And seven angels are given seven trumpets and prepare to sound.. Another angel is given incense to mingle with the prayers of the Lord's people.. Then the angel fills his censor with fire from the altar and casts it to Earth.. There is noises.. thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

WHERE IN REVELATION CHAPTER TWELVE IS THE U.S.?

Can you tell me where in the chapter is the U.S.?

Is the U.S. in Bible prophecy? In the Book of Revelation?
Before we move on from the pause of thermonuclear being used as warfare, it's important to note a second way in which the Revelation vision is obscured. At least three chapters are inserts. The most prominent being chapters twelve and thirteen. Each one is a history and account of its own.

Revelation chapter twelve begins by showing us a woman. One with a circle of twelve stars around her head and who is about to give birth to a manchild (Son of man). She is Israel. But even more so, she is the instrument of God.

The dragon (called Satan, verse 9) tries to devour the manchild (Son of man) as soon as He is born - "and Herod had the male children of Bethlehem put to the sword" - but He was caught up to God and His throne, where He now sits on the right hand of God (Ephesians 1:20).

The dragon, enraged, pursued the woman (Israel, 70 A.D.) and the woman fled, a first, for the most part, migration of the faith. Christianity, now, for a time, the instrument of God, begun with the twelve apostles. (Note: Disciple Judas was replaced, Acts 1.)

There is war in heaven, Satan and his one third angels are no longer allowed celestial access, and he in great wrath persecutes (inquisitions) the woman. But she is given the two wings of an eagle that she may fly (sail?) to a new place where she is kept safe from the face of the dragon for 3.5 (modern) divisions of time.

There may indeed be a days of great tribulation fulfillment of Revelation chapter 12, with the 3.5 being computed differently, but I see this as 1620+350=1970 when the serpent (guise of the dragon) spewed water as a flood (vomited a proliferation) after the woman in an attempt to wash the woman (the faith) from off the Earth. But the Earth opens its mouth and swallows the flood (resulting in drought, see Luke 23:29,31).

Then the dragon returns his attention (fully) to the remainder of the woman's children who has the commandments of God and (by now) the testimony of Jesus (see Matthew 23:37,39 and Revelation 16:14,15,16).

FAT MAN and LITTLE BOY Leap Upon The Stage

We're going to jump ahead for one moment to Revelation chapter thirteen.

Revelation 13, verse 13 - in Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"..and it" - the second 'beast' of the chapter - "doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men.."

Many believe this will be a supernatural act, a magical trick of some sort. But I believe it occurred in 1945 at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I also believe it is the sixth seal, of the seven seals of chapter six. The scroll is unrolled, breaking the seal, revealing the vision, the earth shakes, and mighty men of the earth hide in caves. I remember hearing of the bomb shelters that were built after that day.

The Seals of God are described in a blend of two strands:
 - #1 - what it is when it begins, and,
 - #2 - what it is at the 'end' in its full growth (gallup) and maturity.

This is never more true than with the sixth seal. But with the emphasis on its full blown effect.

Revelation 6:12-17 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken -- and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places were moved; and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?"

And after this -

Revelation 7:1 - King James Version (KJV)

"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.."

The Winds of the Sixth Seal are held back. Its winds are paused, and this is exactly where planet Earth is now in the unfolding of Bible prophecy. How long we remain here, would likely be the question. During the pause "servants of God are sealed on their foreheads, a hundred and forty-four thousand of Israel, and a great crowd from every land, nation and tribe". (The order being vice-versa, as shortly after Israel recognizes Jesus as Messiah, is when Jesus returns, Mt 23:39.)

Then, when the seventh seal on the scroll is broken there is silence in heaven for half an hour. I believe the seventh seal is broken when the pause of thermonuclear warfare is broken. Seven angels who stand before God are given seven trumpets, and they prepare to sound. (Things escalate.)

The seven trumpets are in that last seal. In order to keep this study brief and to the point, I am assuming it's likely any reader of this is acquainted somewhat with the Book of Revelation and knows what the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls or Vials are. I would be more than happy to reply to the question if not however.

By describing the sixth seal in its maturity of effect, the vision is in a degree, locked. For it describes things which happen very late on the planet, here so early on in the narrative!

TWO MORE MAJOR ELEMENTS OF THE AGE / SEALS

Book of Revelation ("Revealing") 6:9-17

When the Lamb of God (Jesus) unrolls the prophetic scroll, breaking the fifth seal on the scroll, we are shown and can hear those who have been slain for the Word of God and their testimony, saying "when will you avenge our blood upon Earth O Lord?" This is like the voice of Abel's blood crying out to God from the ground. A white robe is given to each of them and they are told to rest a while longer, until those who would be killed as they were, is completed. This element of the latter age (and fifth seal) is martyrdom (which of course has been going on since before Nero.)

When the sixth seal is opened, all hades breaks loose! (Not "the grave" but that other translation, "hell".) A spiritual earthquake that progresses into the very shaking of the earth. The very fabric of life changes.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE

Book of Revelation 6:1-8

The scroll of the Revelation vision is kept rolled closed by seven seals. As the Lamb of God (Jesus who was slain for Earth's rescue) unrolls the scroll, each time he breaks one of the first four seals, a horse and rider come riding, each one of a different color.

The first horse is white, and its rider "went out conquering and to conquer". Many believe this first seal and horse and rider to be a last days false gospel and world religion. But I believe the seals span the whole latter age, the years of our Lord, A.D. and I believe it is the glorious gospel which conquered and was "openly victorious over powers and principalities", namely those ancient fierce 'gods'.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse continue their ride (from canter to gallop?) throughout the age, and to the 'end'. Each seal progresses from its beginning to the end of the age.

There's a 'lock on the vision' here. Each seal is described at it's opening (breaking) as a blend of two things. What it is at its beginning and what it is at its full progression and maturity. In this way, things which occur very late on the planet, are described here so very early on in the narrative!!

The second horse with rider, is red, he is war, and he is "given a long" or some versions say, "great sword" - our first look at thermo-nuclear weaponry?

The third horse is black and its rider holds a scale. He is imbalance and shortage, especially as a companion to war.

The fourth horse is a pale (or green) horse, and his rider is called "death" and "the grave follows after him". (Including the mass grave.) Many interpretations translate this as "and hell follows after him". But "the grave" is a closer translation.

I recently listened to a preacher who said the white horse is Roman Catholicism (or a form of it), the red horse is Communism, the black horse is Capitalism and the green horse is that radical religion we hear so much about these days. These also fit. I often think Bible prophecy is wider, more nimble than we realize and more than one interpretation works very well together. (To say nothing of different fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies from the time they were written, usually at least two, a 'soon' one and an 'end' times fulfillment.)

In summary - the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (the Unveiling/Revelation) - Conquering gospel (with shadow rider, false? all forms) - War - Shortage & Inequity - that sad horror, the Mass Grave

REVELATION STUDY - INTRODUCTION

This study will be in little bites, pun intended! And it will start at chapter six - because the Book of Revelation prophecy vision rolls out from chapter six.

However, there are some awesome things written in chapters one through five! Jesus is given a scroll, and at chapter six He unrolls it. This is the Revelation prophecy.

The scroll is sealed with seven seals which are broken, consecutively, as He unrolls the scroll. When the first seal is broken, the first horseman of the apocalypse - one of four - comes riding out.

Next Byte - The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse

"Apocalypse" which the Book of Revelation is often called, is a Greek word which means the "unveiling". The Book of Revelation is the climax of mankind's story and history. Without a climax and conclusion, nothing would be learned. Even "the angels are watching.."

Interesting Words Of Harry S Truman

QUOTE FROM -  http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/harrystruman :
Harry S. Truman
- During his few weeks as Vice President, Harry S. Truman scarcely saw President Roosevelt, and received no briefing on the development of the atomic bomb or the unfolding difficulties with Soviet Russia. Suddenly these and a host of other wartime problems became Truman's to solve when, on April 12, 1945, he became President. He told reporters, "I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me."
- As President, Truman made some of the most crucial decisions in history. Soon after V-E Day, the war against Japan had reached its final stage. An urgent plea to Japan to surrender was rejected. Truman, after consultations with his advisers, ordered atomic bombs dropped on cities devoted to war work. Two were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japanese surrender quickly followed.
- In June 1945 Truman witnessed the signing of the charter of the United Nations, hopefully established to preserve peace. (A world body which was, then wasn't when its 'head'/organizer/u.s. president Wilson didn't, after all, sign on, and then it was again.)
REV 13:13=1945 "fire down to the earth" upon Hiroshima & Nagasaki
REV 13:14 "because of which persuades man to make an image to the beast which was, wasn't, then was again" an image (panel? which will be given breath/authority when its head/u.s. presidency, finally 'heads')
REV 6:12-17 = 6th seal begun, BUT described as a blend of what it is when it begins AND what it is at the 'end' (this obscures the vision many days) "sun darkened"/blocked that day from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, "and moon red"/reflecting fire, and "the stars" appearing to "fall from the sky" more so at 'end' (when the earth shakes) than beginning/opening in 1945, when 6th seal was broken, allowing the scroll to be unrolled/opened further.
- Is Christendom, that part "alive" waiting for a Pope with a wand? and 1945 is unmentioned in Bible prophecy? really??
- We are exactly at REV 7:1, while the 6th Seal/fiery wind is paused/held back, while a "multitude from all nations", then "144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel" are "sealed on their forehead" (complete discernment and clarity?) to go with the "seal upon the heart" of (current) believers.
- After this pause, the 7th seal is opened (limited thermal-nuclear/atomic warfare occurs?) and the "7 angels line up with 7 trumpets, preparing to blow".
- Isaiah 2:11 - "the Lord alone will be exalted in that day".

Jude 7

I find it very interesting that in the book of Jude, it says (speaking of very grievous false teachers) -

Jude 1:7, Amplified Bible (AMP)

"[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns—which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in practicing carnal lusts—are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire." (Literal = "aion-ion" fire/"age-during".)

Sodom and Gomorrah's fiery destruction.. openly displayed, as the example of everlasting fire, and of judgment.
-----------------------

Talking about the "city harlot" (Rev 19:3) who corrupted the earth (seven hills of/seven continents) it says -- Young's Literal Translation - "the smoke of her destruction doth come up -- to the ages of the ages"

And Rev 14:11 says -- Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

11 "..and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are? bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name."

Also interesting I think, considering what is said to be the rule that scripture reveals scripture, and often close by, a few words or verses further along.. Jude 14,15 says "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them..." (KJ) [Whereas judgment day, then "those not believing going to the second death" does not occur until 1000 years later.]

Revelation 14 of course is the two harvests - 1st resurrection and Har-megeddon - ("when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire.." (2 Thess 1:7,8 - NKJ).

The smoke of destruction, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. ..Rising up unto the ages of the ages.. Never forgotten?

Driven By The Winds

Jude, writer of the next to last book of the Bible, like Luke, was not an apostle. He was the "brother of James" who was the brother of Jesus, but Jude doesn't refer to himself in that way, but as a "servant of Jesus".

The very brief book of Jude, it has been said, was very likely a circular letter written to all believers. It is a letter which seems to be saying "Look out! Look out!"

"Stand firm" he wrote, and "contend earnestly for the good news told us by the apostles".

"False teachers have come into, and are in your midst, who contradict God the Father and the Lord Jesus. They turn(ed) the grace of God into loose carnal living.. They have not the Spirit and are like raging waves of the sea, driven by the winds.."

Untruth is never a good thing. The fallen angels, shadows, dark entities, are playing a serious game. They are not working hard in order to bless.

 - "The Holy Spirit will teach you all things.." John 14:26 ("the Spirit of Truth".. John 14:17).
"Thy Word is Truth" - John 17:17.

Weird And Funny Dream

(Don't worry, I should get back to serious topics after this!:)

Last night I dreamed some top brainiacs were trying to figure how to take all the meta tags/labels/description tags out of the internet so I was trying to tell some folks, who were not listening, if they did that, there'd be just all these piles of words and the internet would collapse. (Well it made sense in my dream!) About the time I finally started to prevail, my mother, who I thought had been hovering in the background simply to tell us to be quiet, said, "oh I thought it was just beginning"..

God Is Very Geo-Political

Over and over in the scriptures of the Bible, God makes mention of "the nations".

"The nations will trust in Him" is prophesied and written, perhaps by every Biblical prophet.

When Jesus was born, it was prophesied "the nations have seen a great light". And it's prophesied when Jesus returns "He will judge between many nations" (it goes on to say "they will beat their swords into pruning hooks and plowshares, neither shall they learn war anymore, but each one will dwell under their own vine and fruit tree, and no one will bother them"). (Micah 4:3,4)

I get the sense after mankind's history, God will be fully vindicated, good totally triumphant. "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD" - capitalized to refer to the Father - "and all families will rejoice before Him" - Psalm 22:27.

It Is HIS Kingdom Which Will Never End

Are there wars and rumors of wars?
 - "The lion will eat straw like the ox.." Is 11:7

Is there famine in the world?
 - "Each one will abide under their own vine and fruit tree.." Micah 4:4


Is there disease in the world? - "The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings and you shall go forth and leap.." Malachi


"And of His Kingdom there shall be no end.." Lk 1:33

Each generation lives plugged into the generation its born into.
People of the world seem to be very much plugged into the world.
All of life seems to be part of a giant grid.

What is the message of Bible prophecy to the world?
What answers should a child of God have?

Where does life and the things of life come from?
More and more, even drinking water is store bought.

Should we tell people (or imply) "don't worry about it, just live your life and what will be will be"?

Or should we suggest that any thing not built squarely upon God cannot be trusted to endure forever. The further the world gets from God and His choices and ways, the more it is bound to fall apart.

When things fall apart people behave badly. If the light of the grid should flicker.. go out.. It is not a time to be out shopping for what one needs for their little children at home.

Yes, God provided manna from heaven to Israel, but due to some silly choices they wandered in the wilderness for forty years. But they left Egypt with plenty of supplies.

Jesus' best words for uncertain times - "Be harmless as doves, wise as serpents."

Are there signs or landmarks (events?) which we could expect to stand as markers for folks in those days? [More on this soon.]

---------------------------------------------------------------

From Daniel 7:20-22 - "...horn (power) that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them" (Rev 20:4b) "until the Ancient of days came, and (then) judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came, that the saints possessed the kingdom."

Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment. - `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more; - lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble, - and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men. - `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from you, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from you, and no more at all mayest thou find them. - The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing, - and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much riches were made waste!" (collapse in one hour) -  `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea" (i.e. trade) "far off stood, - and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city? - and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste... ..On the streets of Babylon is found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Revelation 17:2 - (Contemporary English Version)
"Every king on earth has slept with her, and her shameless ways are like wine that has made everyone on earth drunk.” (And immoral.)

The description is a blend of two things, what the seal is when it is first opened (or broken and the element of the seal begins) and also as the seal is in its fully progressed (or galloped) form at the 'end'. (This works to partially hide the vision for a time.)
~ ~  Rev 6:12-17 = Rev 13:13 = 1945 ~ ~
Revelation 6:12-17 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) - "And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken -- and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places they were moved; and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,` because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?"
Revelation 13:11-13 - New King James Version (NKJV) - The Beast from the Earth - "Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." [Pinpointing an office. And party?]
 [Revelation 7:1 - "After these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.." -- The new (fiery) wind is paused for a time..]

In other words, what I have gathered will likely unfold concerning Bible 'end' times prophecy is there will be a seven year peace treaty of the nations of the world. (Or just in the Middle East as some think?) In "the midst" or middle of this 'peace' the Wailing Wall, a place of daily worship and petition in Jerusalem, will be taken away and removed. And roughly three and one half years later, the "abomination which desolates" (666) will be "set-up" affecting "buying and selling" for forty five days, with the last ten days becoming critical (Revelation 20:4b and 2:10).

Revelation #1 - The Bible Tells Us All Things

~ ~ ~ This is Prophecy Sentence Part 1 ~ ~ ~
[ R.12:14(USA) ]
[Key: See a horse come galloping. The dust that's raised, hides the vision. For every Seal is a blend of its beginning and its end. Revelation 10,11,12,13 and 14 are inserts. Pray to see.. R.=Revelation]
R.12:14(USA)
Revelation 12:14 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) - "and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly" (sail) "to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time" (a 3.5 modern division) "from the face of the serpent".. Interesting note! Everywhere else in this chapter, is written "the dragon" except here, where in the next verse, verse 15, a flood (a proliferation) is loosed after the woman. This "serpent" is the beguiling mode of "the dragon". Verse 16 says "but the earth helped the woman and swallowed the flood that had come from the dragon's mouth".
 - (Leading to this, aka, previously in Revelation chapter 12) - The Son of Man, who will rule with a rod of Iron (un-breakable rule) was born to the woman who has a crown or halo of twelve stars (12 tribes) but the dragon tried to devour Him (in the person of Herod) but couldn't and the Son of man was caught up to God and His throne (where He now sits at the right hand of God, Hebrews 1:3). So the dragon pursues the woman (70 A.D.) but she(now the gospel) runs/migrates to a new place. There's war in heaven and the Dragon is no longer allowed access to heaven, so enraged, he persecutes/inquisitions the woman but she is given the two wings of an eagle that she may sail to a new place (a second migration of the gospel, or i.e. the body/church).
- "Where she is kept safe from the face of the serpent for three and and a half" divisions of time - 1620 + 350 = roughly 1970, when a flood/proliferation of seduction is poured out against the woman in order to wash her (the gospel) away from the face of the earth.. (A previously hidden, or in the shadows societal phenomenon is unleashed.)
- Here's something interesting. I have always felt prophecy patterns are repeating patterns.. Three times plus half a time (3.5) is here in Revelation 12 (a whole history summed). Also counting from 1970 to a great flood spewed, or flooding, is three and one half (3.5) decades to Hurricane Katrina in the year 2005, and release of the book "An Inconvenient Truth" in 2006.
---------------------------
** Note - Additional 3.5's: Dan 7:25 & 12:7; Rev 11:2-3,13:5 all these = same time, which is also prophet Daniel's 12:11 and 12 which says, between such and such (a more complete fulfillment of Matthew 24:2 concerning the Temple complex in Jerusalem) "shall be 1,290 days" or three and a half (Hebrew) years, plus an extra month (a leap month, or what is a Hebrew leap year). And verse 12 says "blessed is the person who comes to the 1,335 days" which is 45 days later.. ten days of which will be "tribulation"(Rev 2:10).. 35 days of cannot buy or sell, escalates to "ten days tribulation".

O Beasts Of The Earth

If outside your village where you live with your family and tribe, there was a beast which demanded a human sacrifice as a meal.. then later two for a meal, and on and on until it demanded twenty, thirty people for a meal, would we just keep feeding it? I can understand why the Bible prophecy calls human governments, beasts!

The Serpent Guise Of The Dragon

All through Revelation, chapter twelve, of the Bible, we read about "the dragon". He waits in front of the woman who gives birth to a manchild who will rule all nations with a rod of iron (unbreakable law and principle) in order to devour the manchild (a son of man) as soon as he is born. We can almost hear "Rachel weeping"...

But the manchild is not devoured. Instead he is caught up to God and his throne. (Hebrews 1:3) At which point, said dragon is enraged and pursues the woman, and there is a first migration (of the faith). There's war in heaven, Michael and his angels battle with the dragon and his angels, who do not prevail, and after which, the dragon is denied further access to the heavens.

He's pretty ticked off about that, so he persecutes the woman, and she is given the two wings of an eagle - a second migration of the faith - so she may fly away from the inquisitions to a new place where she is, for a "set time" (Strong's #2540) and "short while" kept safe from the face, countenance, fashion (Strong's #4383) of the dragon. (A set time of 3.5.)

But the serpent, after the set, short while, spews some sort of flood (proliferation) (Strong's #4215 current, stream, river) after the woman so she will be washed away (Strong's #4216) "overwhelmed, carried away" by the flood.

We know the serpent is the dragon, for the next verse (verse 16) says "But the earth" (in the vision John saw) "came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spewed from his mouth." (Amplified Version) [Cross-Reference - Luke 23:31!]

Why is the dragon in the one verse, referred to as "the serpent"?
