FOREWORD

A book forward is usually written by someone well known. In the world's view we are no one. We are not noteworthy, we are just regular people. In Numbers 22:28 God used a donkey to speak, he didn't say anything profound, the donkey just asked why are you beating me. What made it so remarkable was not what he said but WHO spoke the words. So, if God can use a donkey, then why not me? My husband and I have gone through many of the same struggles as other people.

Our lives did not go as planned. I could tell you about the state of poverty that we lived in for many years, a home with holes in the floor, going to bed at night with no food for the next day, visiting family at dinner time in order to have something to eat. I could even tell you about the struggles we had conceiving children and how the doctor told us I would have a 60% chance of losing a child if conceived. The truth is all of our struggles have made us into who we are today. They teach us to cling to our faith. Struggles help create a closer walk to God. I do not believe that God creates hardships but I know He turns them around for good.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose"

We had the same dream that most young couples have when they get married. We wanted a great marriage, a house, kids and I was going to be a stay at home mom. We wanted a very traditional family. Guess what! It didn't go as planned.

In 2007 I was pregnant and we were blessed with our second child, at the same time Robert had become ill. Shortly after the birth of our second son, Robert's health began declining rapidly. He would get short of breath walking and began having to sleep in a recliner at night because he could not breathe when he laid flat. He went to the doctor and was told he had allergies. He was prescribed some medication and in the days that followed he continued to decline. He went back to the doctor for a second visit and they performed a chest x-ray. The x-ray showed a little spot of pneumonia and a "really large heart". He was given antibiotics to treat the pneumonia. Two days later he became so short of breath that he couldn't catch his breath. I insisted he go to the emergency room or I would call an ambulance. He reluctantly agreed but wanted to take a shower first. When he got out of the shower he had foam coming out of his mouth and was struggling to breathe. I loaded up our newborn and 3 year old and off to the emergency room we went. A couple of hours later, as I was holding our newborn and trying to tame a 3 year old, the doctor came in and delivered a devastating blow. "Mrs. Paton, I'm sorry to tell you this but your husband is very sick, his heart is failing and his lungs are full of fluid". I looked down at the face of our precious newborn and then over at our rambunctious 3 year old and I told the doctor, with tears in my eyes, "No, he's not, he's just got pneumonia and needs antibiotics". The doctor then went on to tell me if we had not come to the emergency room tonight that he would've died. He did give me a glimmer of hope in explaining that he could recover from this because he is young and has no other issues.

He was admitted to the hospital for a few days, improved some and was released. We followed up with the cardiologist a few days later. During the initial office visit he explained to us that he was at risk for sudden cardiac death. During the visit Robert stepped out to get something to drink and the doctor looked at me and said, "Mrs. Paton, I don't think you understand how sick he is, he could walk out my office doors and drop dead". I simply held my head up and looked him straight in the eyes, while holding my babies and said, "What do you want me to do, cry? I understand".

Time continued to pass, very slowly, and Robert continued to decline health. Several 9-1-1 calls with transport to the hospital and several admissions and about 3 near death events later the doctors approached me and explained that they could do nothing else. Robert needed a heart transplant. They began making arrangements to move him to a transplant facility 2 hours away. Six weeks after admission to the transplant facility we received a new heart.

During this time we walked close to God. God became more real to me than ever before. He walked with me up and down the hospital hallways and He sat with Robert in his hospital bed. He was present.

Time moves on and we struggled through the first year after transplant. The years passed and life started taking on a more familiar, more comfortable form. It was the form of a normal life. We were rebuilding our normal life, but the truth is we never went back to our previous normal. We now live in a new normal. This normal was developed by God after going through a heart transplant and then a few years later, cancer.

I sat one day thinking about all we had been through. I thought it's going to be easy sailing now because what else can happen. Nothing is left to go wrong, we have survived! Once again we were hit with difficulties. Robert started having back problems. He developed a pinch nerve in his back that eventually required surgery. For two years he was not able to sit, stand or lay on his back very long. The most comfortable position he could find was lying on his stomach on the floor. During that time he studied the Word of God and he prayed and asked God to help him understand the book of Revelation. God used those two years to continue His work in Robert. I have watched as God placed the excitement and understanding of Revelations into Robert.

During our struggles God spoke to us, showed us things and refocused our lives. Our lives are not perfect and we are not perfect "Christians" but that is what is great about God. He loves us anyway! His grace and mercy carries us through the tough times. The struggles of today become our strengths for tomorrow. It has been God that has brought us through. Man will fail; God does not and out of struggles come great "Revelations of Mercy and Grace".
CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

In the beginning, God created man. And God dwelt with man in the garden that he created for man. God walked with man and had a "one-on-one" relationship with man. There was no law and no 10 Commandments. There was no need for faith, because man was with his God, with no dividing barriers. We were created by God as his companions.

Now God always has a plan. Otherwise, he would not have put the tree of knowledge between good and evil in the garden. (You don't leave a loaded gun around a child!). Yes, man disobeyed and ate the forbidden fruit of the tree. The fruit was delicious but the man's action was wrong because "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers". The purpose of the tree was not to enslave man in sin, but to bring man into a higher form and to trap an enemy in such an elaborate plan that the enemy's prideful self could never comprehend.

God has an adversary whose name is, you guessed it, Adversary. But he wasn't always the adversary; he was an angel of worship for God named Lucifer. After God created man (plural), Lucifer noticed the relationship between man and his God and sought for himself a similar relationship with man.

The Adversary took claim over the earth and man after having sinisterly caused the fall of man. And for the next 4000 years the enemy would try to stop the Redeemer who was coming to crush his authority. The Adversary tried to accomplish this [Genesis 6] by destroying man and infecting man's bloodline (man's genealogy) with his own offspring to ensure that through his bloodline some form of power and authority remained in his favor. But God thwarted those plans with a flood which destroyed the "infected bloodlines" on the earth. And then after the flood God separated for himself a true descendent of man whose name was Abraham, to create a nation of people (Israel) whose bloodline was completely human to bring forth the Redeemer. If the Redeemer's bloodline had been infected with the Adversaries bloodline, then the Adversary would have gained authority through the Redeemer the same way man has gained authority through the Redeemer.

After the flood, the Adversary continued to twist man's mind. So God instituted a set of laws, the Ten Commandments, that were so strict that there was literally no way any human man could follow all of them. However, the purpose of the Law was to guarantee Israel's human (non-infected) bloodline to bring forth the Redeemer. The downside to these laws was death for those who disobeyed them. The fulfillment of the Law, of course, would come when the Redeemer was born.

The Redeemer was born approximately 4000 years after the falling away from God in the garden. Now the Redeemer fulfilled the Law when he was born. But the Adversary, through man, used the Law to kill the Redeemer. The Law was specifically designed by God to separate men of Grace from men of Law. For the ones that truly understand the nature of God understand the Grace of God, the ones that deny God's Grace cling to the Law. And again the Law fulfilled its purpose for those who twisted the Law resulting in the killing of the Redeemer of Man so that He could be the Sacrificial Lamb, as planned by God, and bring us back to a "one-on-one" relationship with God our Father.

By killing the Redeemer of Man, the Law abolished itself. For the Redeemer of Man gained All Power and All Authority in heaven and in the earth, and on the earth and under the earth. Thus, and therefore, the Law has become known as the Law of Death. But unbeknownst even to the Angels of Heaven this was the plan all along. The Redeemer had brought an end to the Law, Death, Hell and the Grave! The Law was Finished! Abolished!

Faith in the Grace

After the Redeemer was resurrected, He returned to God the Father in heaven with all power and authority in heaven and earth. He left us "man" to continue in faith to spread the Good News of God's Grace, Mercy and Love around the world. Faith for man is this: that the Redeemer has returned to man our 'one-on-one' relationship with God the Father in Heaven just as we once had the 'one-on-one' relationship with God on the earth; and with our resurrected bodies we will be able to behold the glory and power of God in heaven; and also that the Redeemer has given to man His Power and Authority for us here on earth. And that man should not live by Grace alone but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God. This is the 'Age of Faith' that we live in today!

After the Redeemer crushed the Adversary's authority around 32 A.D., He cast the Adversary down to the earth. Having been cast out of heaven, the Adversary went to war against the remaining offspring of man. And what better way to attack a period of Grace and Faith for man then with God's own Word – the Law. The Adversary, Satan, regurgitated the Law and used it to pervert man's mind against God's Holy Grace. Christ used an analogy to describe how Grace and the Law do not mix. In Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22 and Luke 5:37, Christ said the new wine will burst the old wineskins and the new patch will tear away from the old cloth. There is no way that the two can function normally together without destructive consequences. We see this in almost every church today that accepts both the Law and Grace. For by doing so those churches miss out on God's healing, power, authority, and His voice. All the gifts that are promised to us in the New Testament by God cannot be fulfilled in a church that carries both Law and Grace. This interpretation of Revelations will not be understood and accepted by those who follow the Law because it is only by the Grace of God, where you understand God's love, that this interpretation of His Love and Mercy will be revealed in your heart.

Misuse of the Law

Since God gave us Grace, Faith, Mercy and Love, the Law has been used by the Adversary to destroy them. The Law attacked the redeemed after the Redeemer ascended to heaven.

The Adversary rebirthed the Law into perverted religions; Perverted religions that have a form of godliness but deny the Power, Grace, Mercy and Love of the resurrected Redeemer. They create worshipers of the Law (the Ten Commandments) rather than worshipers of the Truth. The Law creates "church-goers" rather than Sons of the Living God. In the Book of Revelations, the churches of the Adversary are referred to as the beast; a singular religion against God. The Adversary uses the Beast to increase his overall goal – to destroy man.

But again, God has a plan. This plan of revelations has been laid out throughout his Holy Word by God, to you, through the Holy Spirit working through His people.

Man must live by Faith. The Redeemer, also known as Christ Jesus of Nazareth, fulfilled his position by God and defeated the Adversary. This is why the entire Book of Revelation is written in past tense form. As a man or woman of faith in Christ Jesus we must be ready to receive what Christ has given to man which is the Power and Authority to defeat the Adversary.

It is our trek in life in these 2000 years since Christ's resurrection, which occurred around 32 A.D., to walk in God's Grace, Mercy, and Love. To be faithful, claiming all the Authority and Power that our Redeemer, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, died for and paid for at the Cross! And to exercise that Authority and Power against the Adversary and those that follow the Beast (the Adversary's religion).

(Micah 6:8) Human being, you have already been told what is good, what ADONAI demands of you – no more than to act justly, love Grace and walk in purity with your God.

And that's an Old Testament Scripture.

Greater Things Will You Do!

Let me explain the power and authority that believers and lovers of God should exercise. Christ told us that we will do greater things once He ascends to the Father than Christ Himself did here on earth. Of course, He is referring to man as a whole not one singular man. And also the word tells us that as Christ is, so are you in this world! – First John 4:17.

Christ IS: Healthy, Strong, Intelligent, Handsome, Beautiful, Hopeful, Loving, Full Of Grace, Merciful, Kind, Gentle, Having All Authority, Having All Power, Having All Knowledge, Tender, Caring, Peaceful, Righteous, Everlasting, Lord Of Lords, King Of Kings, High Priest; All Things! – And so you are also!

Christ DID: Heal The Sick, Raise The Dead, Abolish The Law, Defeat The Adversary, Care For The Sick, Show Compassion, Speak, Listen, Manifest God's Will, Free Every Man, Worship The Father, Pray, Command Life, Command Death, Rebuke The Adversary, Rebuke Death, Cast Out Fear, Love Everyone, Love His Enemies! – – And greater things will you do!

You HAVE this Power and Authority of God because of the Sacrifice of the Redeemer, our Lord Jesus Christ. DO NOT ALLOW any person or religion, or any other Spirit, to tell you anything different. It is heartbreaking to see people so beat down and wounded by the Adversary's work. But soon, at the end of this "Age of Faith and Grace", Christ himself will complete His finished work.

Today, a person's religion represents their belief in who God is and what God is. It may also reflect a person's character and give insight as to how these people may treat others. So at the core of a person is their religion, even if they tell you they don't believe in a God. But yet, God still loves them all. That's my God! The God that Loves and died for EVERYONE! AMEN!!
CHAPTER 2 - DECIPHERING THE LAST DAYS

Scripture interprets Scripture, Old Testament and New Testament must agree on a topic, such as the identity of Jesus of Nazareth being the Messiah. The walk of Christ and His church in the New Testament is backed by the prophets of the Old Testament. Had the New Testament not agreed with the Old Testament, you would not come to the conclusion that Christ Jesus is the one true Messiah.

So it should also be when interpreting other ideas or events in Scripture. For instance, there is the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Many prophets of the Old Testament warned of it. Matthew, Mark and Luke wrote of it. And it occurred in 70 A.D. just the way Jesus spoke of it.

Now the Book of Revelation is no different. It must be backed by the Old Testament with same conclusions. It cannot be a guess work of ideas either. Revelations cannot be a theory. Facts must support the objective with the Old and New Testament books mirroring to a same conclusion. Only then will the puzzle parable Book of Revelation be brought to life.

The Mercy of God

Most of us have heard the story of Sodom and Amora (Gomorrah) in Genesis chapters 18 and 19, where God was willing to spare the lives of an entire city full of wicked people as long as there were at least 10 righteous. And also about the story of the great city of Nineveh, it was so big that it took three days to cross it. God sent his servant Jonah to warn them that the city Nineveh would be overthrown in 14 days because of their wickedness. They repented and God spared them. Why? God is full of mercy!

So fast forward to the last days where it has been said that God is going to destroy everything in a horrific seven-year tribulation. Hogwash! Far be it for me to dispute this adopted claim but I must! The interpretation of the Book of Revelation has been misinterpreted too long.

We serve a God who is full of and is Grace, Mercy, Patience and Loving toward us. He died for everyone, not just good people. A good father would never harm his son or daughter. Our God in Heaven only wants us to live and prosper. And that is the way it was when we were created except that man (Adam) put on us a curse that has lasted almost 6000 years. However the time is near for God to finish many things. One is restoring his people from that curse that we brought upon ourselves 6000 years ago.

Birth of Tribulation

It's easy to understand how we can read the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel and come to a conclusion that in the last days there will be seven years of tribulation time. Both books give an amount of 1260 days which equals three and half years in simple translation terms. But God hides much of His prophecies in plain sight until the time is ready for it to be revealed. These 'days' will be explained in more detail in a later section.

The book of Daniel was written for Daniel's time. And Daniel did not live in Jerusalem or Israel after he was a child. He was taken to the northern country when he was a child which today is the country of Turkey. Daniel, a man of God, was an ambassador of God to the Gentile nations of his time. Many of his writings were visions of things to come in the nation by which he was taken captive, again present-day Turkey. Much of his writings also represent our calendar past however there is one of the most prominent writings for the last days in Daniel chapter seven in which God specifically gave information to Daniel about Israel. But most all of the prophecies given to Daniel were for the upcoming Kingdom that was going to rule the Middle East in that time. Some of these other prophecies are often mistaken for our 'last days' when we expect Christ to return. However, God did not burden Daniel with too much 'last day' information, rather He told Daniel, "But you, Daniel, keep these words secret, and seal up the book, until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases." (Daniel 12:4)

When a reader reads the Book of Revelation from front to back, representing a linear translation, and then adds up all the days that are within this book, it is simple to see how a seven-year tribulation is birthed. The problem though is that the Book of Revelation is not a linear translation! The Book of Revelation is a history lesson, a future document, a parable, a vision of the future, a vision of heaven, and a vision of our Lord's love for the people He created. But what's most interesting is that this book is a puzzle, a puzzle to keep the intelligent and the curious mystified about the last days until the last days are literally here.

God's hand wrote the Book of Revelation even though a man's hand had to write it for us. This is how God works. If a man doesn't do the will of God for man, the will of God does not get done for man. Now God is a divine Healer, yet, when one prays for a healing God does choose to use His earthly doctors many times to bring you that healing, even though a lot of times we cannot decipher why. God always has a purpose!

This author believes that this translation (this book) is the will of God for this time. Its purpose is to destroy the fears of man about a ruthless and tyrannical God that is coming to annihilate this planet. The fact is we serve a loving and merciful God. A God that is not pleased with destroying man, this is the Adversaries objective, but sent His Son to save all of us by sacrificing Himself for us! Why would Christ Jesus lovingly come to save us all and then turn around and destroy us all with eternal fire, it just doesn't make sense? Our Loving God does have a plan for dealing with those that refuse Love. It's a plan that's not worldwide but it's focused specifically in the Middle East even though its' ramifications will have an impact on the entire earth. But it's still not global Armageddon.

This teaching is a fresh and unique look at Christ's return to earth. It destroys the seven-year tribulation theory taught by churches today. It is backed by Scripture and the overall "picture" makes sense! You will come to the knowledge of what will and what will not (what some have taught) be occurring at Christ's return. Plus you will be given a good 'step-by-step', 'as they occur' order of events in the order that they take place that will be broken up into sections by their topic. And to get a better overall diagram, you can transfer the information and diagrams in this book to a large poster board. Because after doing this and re-studying the Word of God you will find that none of the information I have given you will conflict with any other part of the word of God. But if for some reason in the future I have made a mistake, I will correct it. The Truth is what is being sought after in this translation!

To Sum It Up

The Word of God has been translated throughout the centuries by people expecting a dictator God, a God who will throw down the Law when He returns and sentence man with some sort of tyranny. But my God is full of Mercy and His name is Grace. If you don't study the Word of God you could get manipulated by those who believe that God is out to get you when you make a mistake and they often use parts of Scriptures to back their claim. So often, interpreting who God is and His Word is based on a person's belief of who God is, and who Christ is, rather than using God's own book to define Him. This is why you must study God's Word for yourself. A person's time is usually used up by raising a family and work. So they allow their beliefs to be defined by the person who sits in the pulpit of their church. That is "if" they have time for church anyway? But do not worry, God made the time for this book because He wants you to understand that the 'last days' is not a time of fear for those that call him Lord, that it is a time of Grace and Mercy all the way through the Book of Revelation. And that you are not to fear this time that is coming very soon, but to understand it, to be ready, and to tell everyone about our Loving God!
CHAPTER 3 - THE YEAR OF OUR LORD

As was said before, the best place to learn about Revelation's is from the Old Testament. The latter part of the Bible in the Old Testament books is packed with 'last days' information. In Isaiah 63:4 "For the day of vengeance that was in my heart and my year of redemption have come", gives us a clue about the timeframe of the last days. This suggests that there is one day of vengeance and then a year of redemption at the time of His return. But what good is reading one verse if we do not take it in context with the surrounding verses as so many people do. Many people take Scripture out of context because they failed to read the surrounding idea. So to better understand this Scripture we will start with the beginning of chapter 63 of Isaiah.

[1] Who is this, coming from Edom, from Botzrah with clothing stained crimson, so magnificently dressed, so stately in his great strength?

"It is I, who speak victoriously, I, well able to save."

[2] Why is your apparel red, your clothes like someone treading a winepress?

[3] "I have trodden the winepress alone; from the peoples, not one was with me. So I trod them in my anger, trampled them in my fury; so their lifeblood spurted out on my clothing, and I have stained all my garments;

[4] for the day of vengeance that was in my heart and my year of redemption have come.

[5] I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was appalled that no one upheld me. Therefore my own arm brought me salvation, and my own fury upheld me.

[6] In my anger I trod down the peoples, made them drunk with my fury, then poured out there lifeblood on the earth."

There is a point of time during our Lord's Year of Redemption when He has put everything under His feet; when He's put every ruler-ship, every power, and every authority under His feet. This is known as Christ's culmination. And it is at this point in time before Christ's culmination when our Lord is returning from a battle with His clothes stained red. He treads the winepress crushing all the 'grapes' that make themselves ripe for the winepress. The winepress is the fury of our Lord when Christ must slaughter all the inhabitants of the land (grapes) who absolutely and totally refuse his Grace, Mercy, and Love, and indulge in their sins before God.

It is during the treading that our Lord is working alone, and angry, because there is no one 'with' (joining) Him. Have you ever known anyone who has absolutely refused a free gift? Who cannot be helped because they absolutely refuse to be helped? Who is given chance after chance after chance and still refuses to be helped? A person who sees facts directly in front of them but doesn't want to believe the truth or just too lazy? These are the people that are in the winepress, those grapes that are waiting to be crushed. And that is why our Lord is so angry. Because in the last days He will pour out His love and He will pour out His grace and He will pour out Mercy and He will pour out His patience, but the stubborn grapes refuse it all. With everyone there is a breaking point, and our Lord is telling us that this is His breaking point and I can't say I blame Him!

In verse one Christ tells us that it is Him victorious, ready to save! He is telling us that He is standing right there among those people with all power and glory and still, and I say it again, and still **ready to save**. He is standing there with outstretched arms with unimaginable love ready to take any one of them, any of those people there who are filthy with sin and unrighteousness, ready to take any one of them just to save them. And it is so unimaginable how anyone can refuse such a loving person, such a loving Savior, especially when your life is on the line. What kind of deception will there be in the last days that cause man to turn away from our Lord? What does the Adversary have up his sleeve for all of us? Unknown, but as long as we have faith in Christ we will not be partakers of His vengeance and fury during that particular time. Because lucky for us we live in a time of Faith and Mercy and as long as we have accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior then we will stand free of condemnation.

**D3a: Timespan of Last Days**

So to sum it up, these verses in Isaiah 63 reflect the last days. It gives a time reference stamp of being near the end of His fury and Redemption. And His fury will last 'one day'. And His Redemption will last one year. So it is safe to assume that the 'tribulation' time in the Book of Revelation will last only 'one day' (God has a secret about this 'One day") and one year. But again, this tribulation time is not for those that love him, that know him, and that seek him. Tribulation time is not for those that have accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, Lord and King and wait faithfully for His return. But it will be a time for our Lord to seek those people that don't know him. And it will be a time to repay the enemy.

The Chaldeans

Throughout time, since God created time and His creation, there has been the Adversary of God, Satan. Now God already sentenced Satan after the sin in the Garden of Eden, yet along the way a certain group has poked God right in the eyeball; the people of Kasdim, also known as Bavel (Babylon). Now in the Old Testament Kasdim is present day Saudi Arabia which means Saudi Arabia is Babylon. So when that one day comes God will repay Babylon.

(Jeremiah 50:29-32) "Call up archers against Bavel, all whose bows are strung.

Besiege her from every side, let no one escape.

Repay her for her deeds; as she has done, do to her.

For she insulted ADONAI, the holy one of Israel.

This is why her young men will fall in her open places, why all her lawyers will be silenced on that day," says ADONAI.

"I am against you, arrogant [nation]," says ADONAI Elohei-Tzva'ot [the Lord God of Hosts]. "For your day has come, the time for you to be punished.

The arrogant [nation] will stumble and fall, and no one will lift him up again. I will set his cities on fire, and it will devour everything around him."

And what did they do to the apple of God's eye?

(Jeremiah 50:28) hear the sound of the fugitives, of those escaping from Babel, coming to proclaim in Tziyon (Zion) the vengeance of ADONAI our God, vengeance over his temple.

In 70 A.D., ADONAI, God the Father, allowed the destruction of the people of Israel only to save a remnant. God used the Roman Empire and the Chaldeans to overthrow the enemy of His most precious Son (the people of Israel who rejected Jesus Christ) because they refused the Grace of His Son Jesus Christ. But during the battle the people of Kasdim, the Chaldeans who were allied with the Roman Empire, destroyed the Temple of God and carried it away in pieces. This obviously was not the will of God. Just like when David spared King Saul only because David knew that King Saul was anointed by God, so also the people of Kasdim should have known not to touch the Temple in Jerusalem because the Temple in Jerusalem was dedicated and anointed to the one true God in heaven!

So God is not slow in keeping his promises. All of God's promises come in His time because He IS God! And God has an appointment with Kasdim, now Saudi Arabia, and in His mercy He sends these warnings to all of His people from both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

(Jeremiah 51:44-45) "I will punish Bel in Bavel and make him disgorge what he swallowed. The nations will no longer flow to him. Bavel's wall will fall."

"Get out of her, my people! Each one, save yourself from ADONAI's furious anger!"

(Revelation 18:4-8) Then I heard another voice out of heaven say:

"My people, come out of her! So that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues, for her sins are a sticky mass piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."

"Render to her as she rendered to others! Pay her back double for what she has done! Use the cup in which she has brewed to brew her a double sized drink!"

"Give her as much torment and sorrow as the glory and luxury she gave herself! For in her heart she says, 'I sit a queen – I am not a widow, I will never see sorrow.'"

"Therefore, her plagues will come in a single day – death, sorrow and famine; and she will be burned with fire, because ADONAI, God, her Judge, is Mighty"

The "cup in which she has brewed" is the terrorist nations that Saudi Arabia has financed over the many, many years. And these nations will burn Saudi Arabia with fire on one single day.
CHAPTER 4 - NUMBERS

In the Garden of Eden man disobeyed God and by doing so separated himself from God which also caused sin to run rampant through the generations. So in Genesis 6:3, God said he would only strive with man for 120 years. Now after the 120 years had passed, God flooded the earth with water. But if you take 120 years and multiply it by a Jubilee year, which is 50 years, then you get 6000 years. So you can assume that God will only strive with man for 6000 years before the end or as some call it the 'last days'. So at the end of the 6000 years we should be watchful for God's Day of Vengeance and His Year of Redemption.

Another example using the Jubilee year comes from the dimensions of the destroyed Temple in Jerusalem. The Outer Court of the Temple measured 40 by 20 which totals to 80. 80 times a Jubilee year (50 years) equals 4000 years. From the time of Adam to the time of Jesus is roughly 4000 years. Hence Biblical time only goes as far back as 4000 BC. The Outer Court of the Temple was where all the sacrifices were offered and the blood was spilled for man's atonement to God and where all the procedures man had to do to cover man's sin were done. So the Outer Court's dimensions match the time span we have from Adam's sin to Christ Jesus which is the 4000 years of the Old Testament. The inner court of the Temple which is called the Holy of Holies represents God Himself. For no man except the high priest was allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies. If a man entered into the Holy of Holies on his own who was not the anointed high priest of the Temple, he was immediately killed by God.

But there was a high priest at the 4000th year named Jesus Christ of Nazareth who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could enter into the Holy of Holies. Upon Christ's death the curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the Outer Court was ripped from top to bottom during the earthquake. It's been said that this curtain was over a foot thick. This act of God tells man that he(man) no longer has to keep the procedures in order to have the one-on-one relationship with God our Father ADONAI in Heaven. And the access is free because it was paid for by the Redeemer (Our High Priest).

The dimensions of the Holy of Holies measured 20 x 20 adding up to 40. 40 times a Jubilee year (50 years) equals 2000 years. Our thoughts immediately know the date is 2017, however Christ died roughly in 32 A.D [2032?]. And are we dealing with the western solar calendar or Israel's lunar calendar? The fact is our time is short before Christ comes to finish all things because 4000 years +2000 years equals 6000 years. And the 6000 years are referred to by God in Revelation 7:14 as the Great Persecution; the time of sin that man has had to endure without his God.

Basic numbers in Scripture have their own representations:

**One** equals God or the holy one.

**Two** equals confirmation or double.

**Three** equals the Trinity.

**Four** represents a new revelation or "game changer".

**Five** is grace.

**Six** is a man.

**Seven** is completion.

**Eight** is a new beginning.

**Nine** is wrath, which is usually not good.

**Ten** represents the LAW-(the Torah or Ten Commandments)

Now God gives us hints with letters and numbers. As with the number six which represents man, God is letting us know that at the 6000 year point on His timescale, He will deal with man. Jesus also gave us hints. In Luke 13: 32, Jesus tells the Pharisees that "Today and tomorrow I will cast out demons and heal people, and on the third day I will reach my goal". Today and tomorrow represent two days. And in second Peter 3:8 God tells us that a day to God is 1000 years to man. So the two days that Jesus spoke of are 2000 years where His church, His people, should be doing God's work with casting out Satan and healing people. And Jesus said that on the third day He would be glorified. This third day, or the 3000th year, represents the time of His ruling and reigning on the earth, also known as Christ's millennial reign on the earth. So after 7000 years of man's sin, the 6000 years plus the millennial '1000' years, man's sin (separation from God) will be finished.

Also, when you read your scriptures try and remember the meanings of the numbers. A lot of times when you read the chapters and verses, make a mental note of the number and the meaning of the verse. Many times throughout the Bible in chapter or verse 5, 15, 50 and so on, it has usually has some regard to grace. The same with verse or chapter number nine which usually pertains to some form of wrath. Some of these will be pointed out during this study.

Another parable that Jesus spoke of was the story of the Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan picked up a wounded man, cared for him, and took him to an inn. The man had been left for dead while he was on his way. He fell among thieves who robbed him and beat him and left him for dead. Two other men had passed him up without helping him. But the Good Samaritan (the Third Man that came along) had mercy on him. The Samaritan took the man to an inn and told the innkeeper to take care of him for two days until he returns. And if he owed anything on his return, he would pay him then. Of course, the Samaritan is Jesus Christ and the man he helped, is man. Man was robbed of his inheritance by the Adversary who left us for dead. Jesus told the innkeeper, (which represents the Christians), that he would return after two days (2000 years) and if he owed anything upon His return, He would pay us back.

This is what Christ is coming to do when He returns on that Third Day, or rather on the three thousandth year after His resurrection. He is coming to heal the wounds that we have endured. He is coming to lift our burdens. And since He cares so much for a stranger He found on a road, I guarantee He is coming back to deal with those robbers.

So Christ is returning after '2 days' and there are certain people out there that Christ says He owes. And these rewards are with him now in heaven waiting for those people who became servants of Jesus Christ and those that are helping "man" heal from their wounds until He returns. This is the true purpose of the church today. For Christ already owns everything and everyone on earth but a lot of people on this earth have fallen among robbers and thieves and are wounded quite badly; spiritually, emotionally and physically. How blessed are his servants, those that help their fellow man. How blessed are God's servants when he comes. Because Christ said his reward is with him and when He returns you will receive that reward. Again, how blessed are the true servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

**D4a: Numbers Timeline**

CHAPTER 5 - FEASTS

Since the birth of Israel, the Lord established feasts to be honored by His people. All of these feasts were birthed in the Old Testament. The feasts also have representation in the New Testament as some are shown below.

**D5a: Feasts of Israel**

Christ is our Passover lamb, without sin, and our first (first fruit) resurrected. 50 days later on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to earth to empower His people with many gifts to help them spread the gospel about God's grace. These first four feasts are spring feasts. On the other side of the Jewish calendar are Rosh Hashanah (the first feast of the Jewish calendar), Yom Kippur and Sukkot. These three feasts are about three weeks long and are back to back on the calendar in that order during the harvesting season. Now God has never made a mistake, especially when he made you. So since the first four feasts already have their New Testament representation, we can assume that a feast of blowing trumpets and a feast of atonement between God and His people, and a feast of camping out in Jerusalem is back to back (about two weeks long) on our future calendar and have a New Testament representation as well. Perhaps it will take place just as such?

Now as you will later understand, all the feasts beginning with the first feast of the Jewish calendar (Rosh Hashanah) will have significant value with the events of the Book of Revelation to form a smooth and understandable storyline for the events that take place. So shouldn't all events start with the first feast?

Since many have proven that Christ wasn't born on Christmas day but rather a few months earlier, it would be possible that Christ was born on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) or the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) some 2000 years ago. This is how God works. Everything has a reason and a purpose. And the Feast of Tabernacles is possibly when Christ's earthly family had to hide from the evil king that was butchering all the Hebrew children. And when the "Wise" men visited Christ and gave gifts to Him (which was proven to fall on Christmas day some 2000 years ago) was possibly on the Feast of Dedication aka the Feast of Lights (Happy Hanukkah).

**D5b: Awaiting New Testament Feasts**

The fact is that the feasts will take place in order with significant 'last days' events. The Feast of Trumpets, which is a series of blowing the trumpets in heaven known as Shofars, will take place first. These, Shofars, are defined in Revelation 8. Some have believed that the Feast of Trumpets represent a rapture or gathering of God's people to him. This is a theory adopted by those who claim that Christ will remove his people before His wrath. Fortunately for us, this is true, and will be expounded later. And we have to take into account the primary words in the Book of Revelation regarding the Shofars; that the Feast of Trumpets is a Feast of blowing the Shofars. And there are seven very important shofars in the Book of Revelation. But also there are other Shofars blown as well.

The Day of Atonement is noted as a day of atonement between Christ when He returns and the promises He made with the Jewish people of Israel. It is believed that the messianic Jews, those who believe Jesus is the Christ, will have already been taken up to heaven and the non-messianic Jews are left behind when Christ gathers His people so when Christ returns He will show himself to those Jews that did not believe Jesus was the Christ. And therefore like Thomas, (the disciple who did not believe Jesus was raised from the dead), they will only believe after they see him.

Sukkot, a representation of camping out, is basically what Christ does when He returns. This representation begins about the same time as the millennial reign of Christ and could follow through to the end of the millennial reign. And it will literally be Christ camping out in Jerusalem. Jeremiah and Isaiah give information regarding the millennial reign; a time when Jerusalem will be rebuilt according to Christ's specifications; when the nations of the world will bring their glory into the holy city. What is assumed is that there will be a rebuilding of God's Temple. However there is no evidence in the Book of Revelation to support this theory. But there is a hidden reference in the Book of Daniel that supports Jerusalem being rebuilt and possibly the Temple. We know that Christ's Tabernacle is with men. That He also, through His holiness, had the last Temple destroyed in 70 A.D., as if ripping the curtain wasn't enough for the hard headed! And just as He tore the curtain in that Temple at his death to signify our one-on-one relationship with ADONAI, God our Father, so also did He allow the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem to signify that the Outer Court along with the Holy of Holies is no longer needed. Because right now, you can look up to heaven through the Blood of the Lamb and speak with our Father in heaven, and He does hear you! AMEN.

Remember in the beginning that God and man had a "one on one" relationship. It was thousands of years later that man, only with God's help, built a temple in honor of ADONAI. That temple was destroyed and the only 'temple' that God seeks now is the one that your soul dwells in.

So looking into the future we can expect, for God's Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption, a series of trumpets (shofars) blowing with a possible gathering to meet Christ somewhere among the shofars. Next we should see Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Israel bonding together, preferably at His physical return to earth. And last, Christ 'camping out' while His judgments take place. These events should take place in this order and still not conflict with any other scripture in any other letters of the bible. In fact, they must agree 100% for the understanding of the Scriptures to be true. The theories must be backed by the facts from both the Old Testament and the New Testament to make the statements true. And they must agree, and not conflict, with themselves. All the Feasts should and do have a significant coalition with the 'last days'.

Now the Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Rosh Hashanah, is the beginning of the Jewish Year. Consideration between the Holy Feasts and the prophetic Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption must not be ignored. In fact, every Jewish feast must have a relationship with either God's Day of Vengeance and/or Year of Redemption in the 'last days'.

**Vengeance** : returning an injury for an injury; to avenge - vindicate

**Redemption** : restoration; to ransom captives; fulfillment of promises; complete deliverance of sin

**D5c: The Year Begins with the Harvest Feasts**

CHAPTER 6 - JEREMIAH 50: A DAY OF VENGEANCE

If you don't read the Old Testament, you may not receive the confidence in knowing that the last days is **not** seven years of tribulation. Jeremiah 50 and 51 is the primary book to reference our Lord's vengeance against the people of Kasdim (the Chaldeans). The people of Kasdim were located in the Western region of what is now Saudi Arabia. But the everlasting God defines Kasdim in Jeremiah 50:1.

(Jeremiah 50:1) This is the word which ADONAI spoke concerning Bavel [Babylon], concerning the land of the Kasdim [Saudi Arabia], through Yirmeyahu [Jeremiah] the prophet:

It is simple and clear in this verse that Saudi Arabia is a part of Babylon because what was known as the land of Kasdim is now present Saudi Arabia. More so in Revelation 17 we are given a description of the whore of Babylon.

(Revelations 17:5) On her forehead was written a name with a hidden meaning,

BABEL THE GREAT - MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE EARTH'S OBSCENITIES

So in a nutshell, the whore of Babylon is Saudi Arabia as well.

(Revelation 18:8) "Therefore, her plagues will come in a single day – death, sorrow and famine; and she will be burned with fire, because ADONAI, God, her judge, is mighty"

In Revelation 18:8, it is verified that the Whore's plague will come in a single day. And then it is verified three times that her destruction, the great city of Bavel (Babel, Babylon), Saudi Arabia, will be destroyed in a single hour.

(Revelation 18:10) Standing at a distance, for fear of her torment, they will say, "Oh no! The great city! Bavel, the mighty city! In a single hour your judgment has come!"

(Revelation 18:17) "Such great wealth – in a single hour, ruined!"

(Revelation 18:19) And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, saying, "Oh no! The great city! The abundance of her wealth made all the ship owners rich! In a single hour she is ruined!"

There is nothing on earth that can destroy a country that is one third the size of the Middle East in one hour. Except if a country that size is destroyed by a nuclear strike. Since America is not known for destroying its allies, that makes us totally incapable of the act. Russia could but, being a devout Christian nation and very dependent on their oil puts them at the bottom of the candidate list. North Korea is capable but again we've got to get our information from The Word of God, the Bible.

(Jeremiah 51:11) Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! ADONAI roused the spirit of the Kings of the Medes [Iran], because he plans to destroy Babel. This is the vengeance of ADONAI vengeance over his temple.

In other words:

'Ready the nukes! Stockpile the missiles! God is going to rouse up the Iranians, because He plans on destroying Saudi Arabia. This is the vengeance of the Highest God, vengeance over his house.'

Now wasn't that simple. Now we know that Saudi Arabia is going to be destroyed on a single day within one hour. That God himself will be the one giving the order because the people of Kasdim destroyed God's Temple in Jerusalem along with the Roman Empire in 70 A.D.

(Revelations 17:17) For God put it in their hearts to do what will fulfill his purpose, that is, to be of one mind and give their kingdom to the beast until God's words have accomplished their intent.

Iran will give their power to the beast for one hour along with nine other Kings or nations of the Middle East. And Iran will fulfill God's word by launching their fiery arrows, their nuclear missiles, on Saudi Arabia.

(Revelation 17:12) The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as kings for one hour, along with the beast.

(Revelation 17:13) They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

You might ask, "Why would God do such a thing?", "Will God truly do such a thing?" Remember the comment about those who absolutely refuse God? God is not without mercy.

(Jeremiah 51:9) "We tried to heal Babel, but she cannot be healed. So leave her alone, and each of us will return to his own country." For the judgment against her rises to the skies and reaches even the clouds.

God says here that he has already sent people into Saudi Arabia, (which is probably still going on today), to try to heal them and bring them to the full knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But they more than likely have refused God's Grace and Mercy and continued in their sins. This verse in Jeremiah 51:9 is verified in Revelations, along with a warning.

(Revelations 18:4-5) Then I heard another voice out of heaven say: "My people, come out of her! So that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues, for her sins are a sticky mass piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."

You see, God is not without compassion. He will give a warning to those in Saudi Arabia to get out. But you and I both know that a person from the Middle East will not accept a warning from a Jewish or Christian God. But hopefully many others will hear His warning. – And don't worry about those that know Christ who are in Saudi Arabia because as you will find out they will be delivered before its destruction.

The destruction of Saudi Arabia in a single day is also foretold in Jeremiah 50.

(Jeremiah 50:29-32) "Call up archers against Babel, all whose bows are strung. Besiege her from every side, let no one escape. Repay her for her deeds; as she has done, do to her. For she insulted ADONAI, the Holy One of Israel. This is why her young men will fall in her open places, why all her warriors will be silenced on that day," says ADONAI. "I'm against you, arrogant [nation]," says ADONAI ELOHEI-TZVA'OT. "For your day has come, the time for you to be punished. The arrogant [nation] will stumble and fall, and no one will lift him up again. I will set his cities on fire, and it will devour everything around him."

Not only is Saudi Arabia's destruction coming in a single day, his cities will be set on fire, a fire that will devour everything around him. This is God's prophetic Word.

So from Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51, the first day of what people have called the 'last days' begins with Iran launching a nuclear strike, an all-out attack in the Middle East. It also would be safe to assume that since Iran has no love for Israel (one could imagine) that they would send to Israel some of their "fiery arrows", and that there might be a Scripture to back up such an event. But first let's continue learning more evidences that we will need to create an overall picture of what will happen when God's Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption is upon us.

Now God's Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption can be in that order. But also the Day of Vengeance can also be mixed anywhere within the Year of Redemption because of sentence structure. This is very important to understand due to a startling revelation concerning God's Day of Vengeance which will be revealed later in Chapter 20.

*A person should not accept any of man's words or interpretations but only accept the Word of God regarding interpretation. It will better serve the reader after gaining this knowledge, to read Jeremiah chapter 50 and 51. So that the Word of God can be rooted in your mind as you continue this study. And also, if a Scripture is given because the author believes it relates to the topic, the reader may also want to read the chapter of the verse given in its entirety. Reading the chapter containing the referenced verses, adds context and a broader knowledge of the pertinent Scriptures resulting with the reader having a broader knowledge of what is going on. The author is trying to reveal the true interpretation of the book of Revelation without writing every detail in every book from the Word of God. So do your homework!

**D6a: Timespan of Last Days 2**

CHAPTER 7 - ROLL THE CREDITS

Of course, without God, nothing is possible especially this book! And without God's people stepping out and proclaiming and exercising His word – we would all be in hell. Noah and Abraham stepped out in faith when God spoke to them. Noah used faith to believe God when God declared that a flood would occur and engulf the entire earth (globe). Noah built the ark as God instructed him to do. Had he not built the ark there would be not one human, animal, bird, or insect alive today. And Abraham acted on faith as well, leaving all his family and settling down where God wanted him. He also became an ambassador to the human race through faith only, not works, believing God that he (Abraham) would be the father of many nations. Abraham also had unimaginable faith in God, when he was asked to sacrifice his only son. And so also today there are new teachings and new revelations about God's Word from people who choose to step out in faith against worldly opinions to bring to God's people better knowledge and understanding of God's Word. And amazingly credit to the critics, even those who despise you. They help by making you more diligent and thorough in your research and finished work.

One teacher who gave us new revelations for these last days is Walid Shoebat. Walid, provided a new and fresh look at our interpretation of the Middle East and the nations of Islam and their impact in the last days and Islam's representation in the Book of Revelation. After being born and raised in the Middle East with Islam as his faith, he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior after reading the Word of God. With his understanding and knowledge of the Middle East, he better interprets the history and prophecies of God's Word.

The fact is that all of Gods people in the Bible, and many unholy people, were used by God to fulfill the Will of God. Had they said 'NO', you would not see their name in the Holy Scriptures, or possible, you may not see them in the Lamb's Book of Life. And God would have found someone else to accomplish His Word. So if you believe God is telling you to 'GO!', even against psychotic odds, then GO! AMEN. Do the WILL OF GOD! AMEN!

Sid Roth's show 'It's Supernatural' gives us a world of information regarding God's Spirit, Nature, supernatural ability and His glory through man in healings and miracles and revelations. On the show many individuals are given an opportunity to share their experiences involving God with every day viewers. Much of their testimonies provide help and answers to God's people. It was here on one of Sid Roth's broadcast that I first saw Walid Shoebat. Thanks Sid!

After God had showed me that a lot of what was being taught today in churches regarding the 'last days' was actually in the past, I needed to be able to prove it. One idea was that the 1260 days was parabolic and it is actually 1260 years. But my calculations came up short a few days here, a few days there. I had relayed my theories to my mother. Many months later she called me with the evidence I needed. Ellis Skolfield's book titled 'Islam in the End Times' provided the answer to my calculation problems. Because Ellis had already proven my theory correct. Ellis used the Jewish lunar calendar for his calculations in the Old Testament, not our Western solar calendar. In his work he proves that much of what we have learned that is supposed to be future events has already taken place. Again, though, it is God who places information in front of us to obtain our answers. With God all things are possible! Amen.

And thanks to my wife and kids who have put up with my material lying all over the house, (LOL), and for being patient.

To Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and Paul and Jan Crouch; where would America and the world be today had they not done the Will of God!?

Thanks also to David H. Stern and Jewish New Testament Publications for giving us the Complete Jewish Bible, (which was a gift from my mother). I believe that only with this translation was I able to come to the knowledge and understanding that I needed to be able to write this book. Because the interpretations of the Scriptures are more true, meaning, many scriptures were translated directly from their original languages making the finished text just plain easier to read. And, yes, the Lord made all things for His purpose. And this 'willing vessel' is being used to fulfill the purpose and will of God to write this book because God wants ALL His people to not be ignorant, but come to the full knowledge of His Truth. Amen.

And a special thanks to Joseph Prince ministries. For in my own battle defining the Law and Grace in God's Word, Joseph Prince's Grace Teachings helped focus my attention on the Truth of who God is. And so once I had made God's Grace and Mercy the main target in defining the Book of Revelations, it became clear that this was the last key that was needed to unlock the secrets and mysteries and hidden definitions of the Book of Revelation. Because only through the eyes of Grace and Mercy will one be able to truly understand the Book of Revelation. One must throw away the tyrannical and tormenting teachings of Revelations and embrace the Love that Christ has for every single person that has ever lived, that Christ himself died for, especially for all the evil people. If you were Christ and you paid that price, you would want ALL (every person) that belongs to you too! Right!? If you didn't say 'Yes' perhaps you do not understand God's Love, Grace and Mercy.

The Star of Bethlehem (Documentary) by Frederick A. Larson, a remarkable work listing exact dates of Christ's birth, death and resurrection.

And to my Donor, whoever you are, without you I wouldn't be here; and neither would this unique interpretation! I will meet you one day.
CHAPTER 8 - REVELATION 1-3

The first three chapters of the Book of Revelation are letters written to the Seven Messianic Communities in the province of Asia from the Lord's disciple whose name is (John) Yochanan. This is not Asia as we know it today but rather the land known as Turkey. The Lord found it necessary to shipwreck John along with his captors on an island. John was on his way to prison when the Lord interrupted the enemy's plan and then gave John a good look at the things to come, and also what some have called the "last days".

John found himself immediately in the presence of God who told him to write down what he sees and write it down on a scroll. And then he was told to send that information to the Seven Messianic Communities which is now in Turkey (part of the Middle East). John was not told to send these letters across and around the globe of the earth, because what he was going to see would only be significant to the Middle East. Besides, if the rest of the world saw these prophecies, they would assume that the prophecies would be meant for them or for whomever else they assumed, rather than the Middle East. Christ is not returning over Washington DC. The events from the Book of Revelation are only for the Middle East even though some events will have an impact around the world.

So, when John was taken up to heaven he turned to see who had spoken to him. He then saw Seven Gold Menorahs and among them our Lord Jesus Christ and all His Glory. In Revelation 1:16, John saw Christ with Seven Stars in His right hand and out of His mouth went a sharp double-edged sword and His face was like the sun shining full strength. Christ told John that the Seven Stars were Seven Angels and each Angel (the representative of that church to God) belonged to one of the Seven Messianic Communities (Seven Menorahs). This is our first hint that some things in Revelation are not exactly what they are called. Yes, there were Seven Stars in Christ's hand but they represented seven Angels. So indeed, parables are definitely used throughout the Book of Revelation just as Christ used parables in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Also, there are some important notes from the letter given to God's people in Smyrna. The first is that the Adversary does control Jewish synagogues in Revelation 2:9. This supports the idea that the Adversary uses Moses's Law to condemn Christians after Christ's resurrection and therefore since the synagogues were so infected with the Adversary's religion that this is why God decided to destroy Jerusalem and the Temple to relieve the land of the infestation (much like He had to flood the earth to relieve the land of the N'filim (Nephilin) infestation). And that the Law of Death stays prevalent throughout the Faith Age. Another is the mention of the "second death" in verse 11. Christ is telling his people to be faithful even to death so that they may live even after death. And the letter continues that "he who wins the victory will not be hurt at all by the second death." So of course, there is life after death for God's people and the second death is a spiritual death – not regarding flesh but spiritual damnation.

In the letter to Pergamum, a very important detail is given.

(Revelation 2:13) "I know where you are living, there where the Adversary's throne is. Yet you are holding onto my name. You did not deny trusting me even at the time when my faithful witness Antipas was put to death in your town, there where the Adversary lives."

So in essence, the Adversary's throne is in Pergamum, present day Turkey. [WS] This is very important to know when the Fifth Shofar is blown!

And the last bit verifies the nature of our Lord.

(Revelation 3:10) Because you did obey my message about preserving, I will keep you from the time of trial coming up on the whole world to put the people living on earth to the test.

There are two special things regarding this passage. One is that the Lord will keep His people from that day of destruction. Yes, He will keep his faithful people safe one way or another from the trial coming up. The second is that this is a prophecy for the Middle East even though this will be a trial for the whole world, to put the people left on it, to a test. So since the first group of people that persevered through the 'age of faith' will be spared this trial, then so also the second group of people, that are left on earth, must persevere to get through the trial that is coming upon the whole world! Two occurrences of perseverance!

The seven letters to the Seven Messianic Communities are also regarded as guidelines for the Christians. They reveal a Compassionate and Loving God, correcting with Love while revealing His Mercy. Even with the community of Laodicea, Christ provides a path of righteousness (a way of escape) as they are on their way to destruction. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and God the Father, ADONAI in Heaven, Loves you more than you have ever loved or been loved in your entire life! They continue to provide a way for you to receive eternal life both now (in this Age of Faith) and through the 'last days' of Revelation. Now God loves you and wants you to turn away from sin and accept the free gift of Everlasting Life that He Pre-Paid for You! But while He does Love you there are things we do that He dislikes, some things that He absolutely hates! One of these is recorded in the letter to Laodicea.

(Revelation 3:15-16) I know what you are doing: you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth!

Saul, whom they later named the Apostle Paul, is a prime example of this passage. Because in his heart he believed that he was doing the will of God by persecuting this new religious movement called Christianity. God knew Saul's heart. Because even though Saul was wrong, God knew that Saul loved God. Saul believed he was helping God by persecuting those Christians.

(Revelation 3:19) As for me, I rebuke and discipline everyone I love; so exert yourselves, and turn from your sins!

God poured out His love on Saul and blinded him. And days later when he received his sight back and after Christ spoke with him he understood the position of the Christian church compared to the old Law. For by Grace, Saul was saved.

The position of 'lukewarm' is the most dangerous place to be with God! An Isis fighter that is butchering people, truly believing in his heart that he is doing the will of God just like Saul/Paul believed, will receive more mercy and a greater chance to receive everlasting life from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ than the everyday ho-hum person who goes to church every Sunday but never has the heart to read the Word of God or understand the heart of God. Lazy=lukewarm.
CHAPTER 9 - THE FOUR LIVING BEINGS; REVELATION 4

(Revelation 4:1-3) After these things, I looked; and there before me was a door standing open in heaven; and the voice like a trumpet which I had heard speaking with me before said, "Come Up Here, and I will show you what must happen after these things." Instantly I was in the Spirit, and there before me in heaven stood a throne, and on the throne Someone was sitting. The One sitting there gleamed like diamonds and rubies, and a rainbow shining like emerald encircled the throne.

John started with "after these things". In a parallel or reflective meaning, judgments have come to the Lord's messianic communities (churches) by way of these letters to the 'churches' and since the Lord's messianic communities (churches) do not suffer the Lord's wrath when He returns, then it is safe to assume that these judgments are guidelines for His people before they are resurrected. Because immediately after these things (writing the letters) John sees a door standing open in heaven and in a voice like a trumpet the Lord tells him to 'Come up here' to heaven. John is immediately taken to heaven, but in a parallel meaning, this represents the resurrection of the seven messianic communities, also known as, Christ's churches. The voice like a trumpet saying, "Come up here!" is the same voice like a trumpet that the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 hear telling them to "Come up here!".

(Revelation 4:6-8) In front of the throne was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living beings covered with eyes in front and behind. The first living being was like a lion, the second living being was like an ox, the third living being had a face that looked human, and the fourth living being was like a flying Eagle. Each of the four living beings had six wings and was covered with eyes inside and out; and day and night they never stop saying, "Holy, holy, holy is ADONAI, God of heaven's armies the one who was, who is and who is coming!"

Perhaps a visual aid is needed when trying to describe what John is seeing here. Because the Sea of Glass that is as clear as crystal and the Rainbow shining like Emerald encircling the Throne (Revelation 4:3) IS the Four Living Beings. (Let it sink in). John is not 30 or 100 feet away from the throne. John is probably hundreds upon hundreds of miles away looking at the Throne that is surrounded by the Angels whose resemblance is as clear crystal. Plus the refraction of the light rays off of the Angels from the Throne gives the image of a sea of glass as it enters John's eyes.

Each of the four living beings is a representation of their image and possibly the Angel's "rank" around the throne of God. The first "ring or circle" of Angels that surround the throne of God looked to John like a lion. The rank of "Lion" is reserved for the Angels that are strong and powerful and are the closest to God's throne. They may also be assigned under the Authority of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The fact is that we humans will not know what they look like until we get there. But if a lion represents praise in the tribe of Judah then the first ring of Angels around the throne are the cherubim. The cherubim in the Holy of Holies do look like a lion with large wings and perhaps that is exactly what they look like.

The second rank and second ring of Angels that surround the throne of God looked to John like an ox. The "Ox" ranking Angels must represent strength.

The third ranking and third ring of Angels that surround the throne of God looked to John like a human. These are probably the majority of the Angels that appear to man because of their resemblance. Can you imagine, if an 'ox' with great 'wings' appeared before a man to give him a message? The man would probably split before he heard one word.

The fourth ranking and forth ring of Angels that surround the throne of God looked to John like an eagle. This rank of Angel is, at the least, responsible for important messages to man as in Revelation 8.

The "wings" of each Living Being represent the Spirit of God upon each Angel.

The four rings of Angels encircling the throne of God looked like emerald crystals; each emerald as clear as crystal with eyes and all of them praising our God. The four rings of millions and millions and millions of Angels with four different ranks look like an emerald rainbow surrounding the throne of God, four different shades of green and resembling a great sea of glass, not a lake or a pond.

There is more evidence from Revelation 5.

(Revelation 5:11-14) Then I looked, and I heard the sound of a vast number of Angels – thousands and thousands, millions and millions! They were all around the throne, the living beings and the elders; and they shouted out,

"Worthy is the slaughtered Lamb to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise!"

And I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth and on the sea – yes, everything in them – saying,

"To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb belong praise, honor, glory and power for ever and ever!"

The four living beings said, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worshiped.

Again the punctuation helps define our Four Living Beings. Your first thought at reading Revelation 5:11 is that there are millions of Angels that are all around the throne with the Four Living Beings and the elders. But again the punctuation defines this verse differently. In the first sentence John is telling you that he sees a lot of Angels. Then in the second sentence, John is telling you that the Angels were all around the throne and is defining the Angels as Living Beings, more precisely as the Four Living Beings he described in Revelation 4. Then in the same second sentence he adds the elders. So the Living Beings (Angels) and the 24 Elders surrounded the throne. And so John defined the millions and millions of Angels into their four 'ranks' calling them the Four Living Beings.

(Revelation 7:11) All the Angels stood around the throne, the elders and the four living beings; they fell down before the throne and worship God, saying,

If you take the comma out after the word 'throne' then you would have Angels standing around the throne and the elders and the four living beings. But the way the verses are written explains that the elders and the four living beings are the only ones standing around the throne. All the Angels are the four living beings.

Now technically speaking, anything in heaven that is in spirit form is an Angel. In fact, before God formed that body out of the dust of the earth, all there was were spirits or 'also defined as' Angels. Everyone in heaven right now is in spirit form (except Enoch and Elijah, Christ Jesus, and the occasional visitor).

(Revelation 15:2) I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Those defeating the beast, its image and the number of its name were standing by the sea of glass, holding harps which God had given them.

The sea of glass in Revelation 15 is the same sea of glass from Revelation 4, the sea of glass is the millions and millions of Angels. And if you have not noticed in the second sentence of Revelation 15:2 "those defeating the beast" are standing by the sea of glass. But in the first sentence the sea of glass is mixed with fire. So "those defeating the beast" (so far) is the fire.

As I will show later this verse is what is happening immediately after Christ resurrects His people.

(Revelation 7:1) After this, I saw four Angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree.

Here again, the Four Angels are the highest ranking Angels of the four classes of Angels. And they are holding back the Four Winds (the four groups of Angels) which are the remainder of millions and millions of Angels. These same high-ranking Angels are also called the Four Horns.

(Revelation 19:4) The 24 elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, sitting on the throne, and said, "Amen! Halleluyah!"

The Four Living Beings and the 24 Elders are the only ones worshiping God. Again, the Four Living Beings are the millions and millions and millions of Angels.

Remember we are interpreting a book of parables so remember these representations.

**D9a: The Emerald Rainbow Encircling the Throne**

CHAPTER 10 - CHRIST SEPARATES HIS PROPHECIES

When the disciples called Jesus's attention to the Temple buildings, Jesus replied by telling them that the entire structure would be totally destroyed. This concerned the disciples enough to ask Him privately about when the Temple would be destroyed and what would be the Sign of His coming and when this 'Age of the World' would end.

So Jesus replied to all of their questions, which is recorded in three of the New Testament books, Matthew, Mark and Luke. But in each of these three books the questions vary in regards to each event.

For instance, in the book of Luke they question Jesus only on the destruction of the temple and the sign which shows that they are about to happen. "They" is the 'destruction of the temple' and 'not a single stone will be left standing.'

(Luke 21:6-9) "The time is coming when what you see here will be totally destroyed – not a single stone will be left standing!" They asked him, "Rabbi, if this is so, when will these events take place? And what sign will show that they are about to happen?" He answered, "Watch out! Don't be fooled! For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' And, 'The time has come!' Don't go after them. And when you hear of wars and revolutions, don't panic. For these things must happen first, but the end will not follow immediately."

So in Luke's account, the disciples only asked about the destruction of the temple which occurred in 70 A.D. They did not ask about when this 'age' would end but Jesus did speak about it and Luke did make a record of it.

In the book of Mark, again, the disciples are only questioning Jesus about the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.

(Mark 13:2) "You see all these great buildings?" YESHUA said to him, "They will be totally destroyed – not a single stone will be left standing!"

(Mark 13:4) "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what sign will show when all these things are about to be accomplished?"

Yet again, Mark made a record of what Jesus spoke about, regarding the temple's destruction, and when the end of 'the age' would come (only because Jesus spoke about it).

But in the book of Matthew, the disciples question Jesus about when the temple would be destroyed, and, what would be the sign that Christ is coming back and when this age (the Age of Faith) is ending.

(Matthew 24:3) When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, "Tell us," they said, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that you are coming, and that the 'olam hazeh' (this world, this age) is ending?"

Now to understand the answers to the questions, one must know how to separate each answer and put it with each separate question. To do this you must find the keys and know some facts, and history.

The three questions asked are:

(1) When will the destruction of the temple be?

(2) What will be the sign of Christ's coming,

(3) and when would this 'world' or rather this 'age (of Faith)' end?

Examining the punctuation of Matthew 24:3 reveals that the first question is on its own because it ends with a question mark. When will the destruction of the temple be?

The second and third questions are not separated in Matthew 24:3 with an ending punctuation (a Period) but they are separated with a comma. This means that they are two separate events but they are joined together somehow. Here, putting these two events together in one sentence means that they may occur at the same time. This produces tremendous arguments for those that stand by a seven-year tribulation or the 'linear translation' of the Book of Revelation. The reason is because the 'linear translation' (interpreting the Book of Revelation as beginning with chapter 1 and ending with chapter 22) fails to make complete sense anyway. But here in this translation, – this putting the pieces of the puzzle together, it will make complete sense!

In Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13, and in Luke chapter 21, Jesus gives us the three answers to the three questions in each of these three books. But the answers are "coded" within these texts. To help decode the texts, we can use some basic knowledge that we have just learned. By examining a key word in one verse from each book we can better help establish a center point on our timeline.

Matthew 24:29 - "But immediately following the trouble of those times,"

Mark 13:24 - "In those days, after that trouble..."

Luke 21:24 - "... until the age of the Gentiles has run its course."

The keywords are times, days, and age. These three words represent the same exact amount of time; 2000 years. We know that days (plural) is equal to at least two 'days', and times are equal to at least two 'times'. Remember that a day to God is 1000 years to man and since Matthew, Mark and Luke's texts renders the same theme before the signs in the sun, moon and stars, it is safe to assume that this point of 2000 years (beginning with Christ's death and Resurrection) is a good center point for our timeline. And don't forget that we are in the 'church age' or 'age of faith' which is approximately 2000 years. So if Christ died around 32-33AD then His return might be somewhere around the year 2033 on the solar calendar.

This also means that what is behind these three verses, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24 and Luke 21:24, is in the past. And since we know today that we have not experienced the end of the 'faith' age and that Christ has not returned yet, then we can assume that the majority of what is written in the entire beginning passages of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, before the sun and the moon and the stars verses are referencing only the era of the time when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed back in 70AD; that it is referencing the past. We will call these the latter verses of MML (Matthew, Mark and Luke). [See Diagram MML]

Most of the latter verses of MML are general descriptions of the warnings and events that will happen before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 A.D. along with other events that take place for the next 2000 years after Christ's death and resurrection. But the most abused verses concern the attack on Jerusalem.

Luke 21:20-24 "However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you are to understand that she is about to be destroyed. Those in Judea must escape to the hills, those inside the city must get out, and those in the country must not enter it. For these are the days of vengeance, when everything that has been written in the TANAKH (Scriptures) will come true. What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress in the Land (the area surrounding Jerusalem) and judgment on the people. Some will fall by the edge of the sword, others will be carried into all the countries of the Gentiles, and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the age of the Gentiles has run its course.

This event from history is the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 A.D. In Mark 13:14-20, Titus or the Chaldean leader (the abomination that causes devastation) is standing where he should not be, probably in the Holy of Holies of the Temple. No one could enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple because God would have killed them. But, God was not in that temple when it was destroyed in 70 A.D.

When Christ died on the cross about 32 A.D., the curtain was ripped from top to bottom signifying "God has left the building!" Also meaning we now have a one-on-one relationship through Christ with God the Father, ADONAI. God also might have allowed the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem using Titus and the people of Kasdim, because it was no longer needed. Because, now, God's tabernacle is with men and He dwells in us, not somewhere 'out there'. His Son, the Messiah, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, paid the price for us for eternity! Amen! And if a person believes that the temple must be rebuilt then that person does not understand the Grace or the Blood of Christ that was spilled for us all. The most probable reason God destroyed Jerusalem is because the majority of the Jewish people, at that time, had decided to ignore God's Grace and follow the Adversary's Law profaning God's Temple.

If I had sent my son to die for you, and pay the price for you to be free, then it would enrage me to watch you return to bondage, that is, that you would go back to being a slave instead of enjoying your freedom. You would not have only wasted my time but also you would have given the death of my son no meaning. And I love my son. So I will make you pay for what you have done! Do you understand the love of God now? God loves His people, but He hates ignorance, or rather, lazy people (those whom don't take the time to know God).

These verses of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. have been abused by people using them as a future reference of things to come concerning Jerusalem and Israel. They also use these verses to say that Jerusalem will have a rebuilt temple when Christ returns, but again nothing in scripture supports this.

(Jude 1:5) Since you already know all this, my purpose is only to remind you that ADONAI, who once delivered people [Jews] from Egypt, later destroyed those who did not trust.

About 37 years after Christ's death and resurrection the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. This event was exactly what Jesus spoke of in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Yet still today, many read this passage and believe that some sort of disaster is going to occur in a future Jerusalem that has a rebuilt Temple. But again, there's nothing in Scripture to support this theory as long as you know your timeline. In fact, unless you abuse a few Scriptures, there is no evidence whatsoever that Jerusalem is going to rebuild a Temple (even though they are totally prepared to do so) so that God himself may dwell in it when He returns. This theory comes from a linear translation of Revelations using the destruction of Jerusalem in MML which was fulfilled in 70 A.D. to back up its claim. Remember when He comes He is going to set up camp!

– So the first question is answered already from history. Jerusalem and the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. fulfilling exactly what Christ said would happen in verses 15 through 28 of Matthew 24. But the most dangerous time for God's people came before God had Jerusalem destroyed. In Mark 13:9-13, Christ warns His people about the local lawyers, the Sanhedrin's. Christ fulfilled the Law as discussed earlier but this is where the Adversary first began using the Law to destroy God's people. Satan has the lawgivers gather the Christians into his courts. And it is apparent that this was a violent courtroom because families betrayed each other even to death. It reminds me of what happens to a new Christian who has left Islam, their only option is to flee, return to Islam or die! (That Is True Middle East Islam).

This was the first act of the Adversary after he was cast down out of heaven and lost all of his authority in heaven and earth at Christ's death and resurrection. The Adversary knew he could use Moses's law to destroy Christians, because he does know the Law, but he knows nothing of Grace, Mercy and Love. And he was already at work manipulating and perverting the Word of God to destroy man which resulted in a whole new religion. Where grace should have abounded, the Lawgivers pushed the Law, henceforth, a division occurred. This division is relevant in Jerusalem today and around the world.

The horrible events of Matthew Mark and Luke which include families betraying each other to death, wars and rumors of wars, being arrested and taken before local governments, and famines and floods; have, and continue, to take place. These are not future events! These are now events! And these events will continue until Christ returns. And these betrayals, deaths and wars are all caused by the Adversary's religion that exists today and has existed since the Adversary lost his authority almost 2000 years ago.

When Christ returns there will only be one day of vengeance on his enemies. The year and millennial reign that follows are made up of peace, prosperity, and healing of all the nations that serve the God of gods. War, famines, floods, betrayals, and pestilence will all be governed under the Rod of iron. When these 2000 years are up (around 2032?), we can look forward to the end of the rule of man and the beginning of the rule of our most gracious merciful loving Savior Christ Jesus of Nazareth! Amen!
CHAPTER 11 - MATTHEW, MARK, AND LUKE (MML)

Now determining the Sign of Christ's return and the 'end of the age (of Faith)' is extremely complex. But if you walk slowly through the evidence, the timing of the events and the order of their placement in time then it becomes clear. This is an exhaustive study involving many of the prophetic books of the Bible. But at the end of this entire study (this book), you will not only have the answers to the sign and when the last two questions take place but also what takes place at their fulfillment.

When Christ gave us clues to the two questions in MML, He did not give us much. But it's the subtle things that are overlooked. In each book of MML there are approximately 4 verses from each book that paint a picture of events surrounding the sign of His return and the end of the "Faith Age". And most of them sound exactly alike. But this just verifies that we are on the same point in time from these three books and that they agree.

Around 2000 years after Christ's death there will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars. And then your brain goes numb.

What must be done is the separation of each event, then, categorize each topic with each event, and then reconstruct all related verses in order to form a more precise picture of Christ's return. This is also when charting the progress helps. As we progress, the charts will accumulate the information.

Now, we will begin by examining the verses from Matthew, Mark, and Luke regarding the Sign of Christ's return and when the Age of Faith will end.

(Matthew 24:29-31) (29) - But immediately following the trouble of those times,

the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken.

(30) - Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the Land will mourn,

and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory!

(31) - He will send out his angels with a great shofar; and they will gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(Mark 13:24-27) (24) - In those days, after that trouble,

the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

(25) - the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken.

(26) - Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory.

(27) - He will send out his angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

(Luke 21:25-28)

(25) - There will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on the earth, nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,

(26) - as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

(27) - And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with tremendous power and glory.

(28) - When these things start to happen, standup and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated!

Using the similarities of each verse we can reconstruct the order of the events into a simple logical order after the 2000 years.

2000 years – Sun, Moon, and Stars

[1] (Matthew 24:29) - But immediately following the trouble of those times,

the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken.

[2] (Mark 13:24-25) - In those days, after that trouble,

the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken.

[3] (Luke 21:25-26) - There will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on the earth, nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,

as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

The Sign THEN they will see the Son of Man

[4] (Matthew 24:30) - Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the Land will mourn,

and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory!

[5] (Mark 13:26) - Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory.

[6] (Luke 21:27) - And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with tremendous power and glory.

Chosen People (144,000) are gathered

[7] (Matthew 24:31) - He will send out his angels with a great shofar; and they will gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

[8] (Mark 13:27) - He will send out his angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

[9] (Luke 21:28) - When these things start to happen, standup and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated!

**D11a: Matthew, Mark and Luke**

Now, to sum these up there is first an event involving the sun, the moon the stars and the powers in heaven being shaken. This event causes nations anxiety, surging of the sea or rather people "freaking out", and then people fainting with fear. Then, (very important), they see the sign of the Son of Man, appearing in the sky. This causes the Jewish people to mourn. After this they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with tremendous power and tremendous glory. And after this, God sends his Angels out with a sounding of a great shofar to gather His chosen people from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. And finally we are told that before all this happens we should standup and hold our heads high because we are about to be liberated, however, this liberation in verse (Luke 21:28) is only for the Jewish people of Israel in Jerusalem, not the entire globe.

Now anyone who is in Christ is already liberated. And that word "chosen people" is referred in the Old Testament as the Jewish people. More precisely these chosen people are Jews. We will indulge more about the chosen people later. However, there's one more book that holds a vital key.
CHAPTER 12 - MMLR

One night years ago, I found myself unable to sleep. Instead of watching TV or the computer I pulled out my Bible and began Scripture jumping. For some reason after Mark 13, I jumped to Revelations chapter 6. Then God showed me that the Sixth Seal in Revelation chapter 6 is the same as the verses we just covered in Matthew, Mark and Luke. However, the Sixth Seal would prove to be a more vital key. It not only agrees with MML but because it does agree we can pinpoint in Revelation where the verse belongs on our timeline.

(Revelation 6:12-17)

(12) – Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red.

(13) - The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its fig's when shaken by a strong wind.

(14) - The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

(15) - Then the earths Kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty – indeed, everyone, slave and free – hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains,

(16) - and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb!

(17) - For the Great Day of Their fury has come, and who can stand?"

Much deliberation was spent with these verses from Matthew, Mark, Luke and Revelations due to their 'flexibility'. It reminded me of what God told Daniel about the last days. He said that many will go to and fro, and that knowledge would increase. I had never understood this verse in Daniel until I experienced it studying God's Word. Because I literally was going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, to and fro, through my Bible as my knowledge that God was giving me about the Scriptures increased. Staring at these verses will get you nowhere until the rest of God's Word is utilized. So the end result is this.

The word "great earthquake" (from Revelation 6:12) is not a singular event but a plural event. Remember that the entire Book of Revelation is written in past tense form. Where-as Matthew, Mark, and Luke are written in a future tense form. So you must accept that some of these verses will collaborate with other verses and/or fulfill other verses.

A primary example is this great earthquake. Upon reading verse 12 your first thought may be that the great earthquake occurs and then the sun turns black and the moon becomes blood red and then the stars fall from heaven to earth. But consider a different example, actually the only one that agrees with the entire Book of Revelation. The great earthquake of Revelations 6 causes the sun to turn black and the moon to turn red and the stars falling from heaven causes the great earthquake. Reorganized, the stars fall from heaven causing the great earthquake which shakes the heavens which then causes the sun to turn dark and the moon to not give its light. Now what kind of stars falling from heaven could cause all this? If you said nuclear strike, you're dead right! Remember Jeremiah 50!

The reason all this is true is because of one word, 'will'. If I tell you that this weekend I will go to the grocery store and I will go to the movies and I will go out and have pizza, it doesn't necessarily mean that I will do them in that order, especially when I said all this in one sentence. And, since Matthew, Mark, and Luke are written in the **future tense** and the information was provided in only one sentence, then we can make this assumption. For example in Mark 13:24-25 there are two verses given. However, they are only one sentence. This is easier to see if you have a bible translation like the CJB that uses paragraphs instead of verse by verse categorizing. The translation is easier to read plus when more than on verse is included in a sentence it allows interruptions or an insertion of another verse from 'somewhere' else to give the overall Timeline greater detail. But each event in each sentence from each chapter of the book of Revelation must be kept in order on the timeline. Otherwise I'm wasting your time.

So, a nuclear bomb or missile to the naked eye looks like a star falling. Its detonation does cause the earth to quake. A multiple 'all out' launch on a single target will cause a great earthquake. And atmospheric disturbances from the blast can make it appear that the sun and moon are turning dark because of all the debris or dust now in the atmosphere. Also there is the radioactive fallout. Radiation causes burns and blisters to the skin and eventually will cause death. Keep this in mind for later.

MML and Revelations Agree

Reorganizing our verses from Matthew, Mark, Luke and Revelations (MMLR) into a singular idea can be achieved. But again they must coincide with the rest of the Scriptures from the rest of the books of our Bible. If there is one error, then that entire statement cannot be true. But we still have to start with the basics. And we will use these verses as a timeline template starting point for the rest of the Book of Revelation just as we are using the Feasts as a timeline template for the rest of the Book of Revelation. And then we will compare our findings with all of the timeline templates to form a single timeline event of events for the last days. But let's get an idea of our time template from Matthew, Mark, Luke and Revelation. And when we are all done with the New Testament we will verify our findings with the Old Testament. So, Fine-tuned and Reorganized Again, with Revelation:

MMLR Events

(Lk 21:28) When these things start to happen, standup and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated!

(Mt 24:29) the stars will fall from the sky,

(Mk 13:25) the stars will fall from the sky,

(Lk 21:25)...and stars;

(Rev 6:13) the stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its fig's when shaken by a strong wind.

(Rev 6:12) Then I watched as he broke the Sixth Seal, and there was a great earthquake,

(Mt 24:29) and the powers in heaven will be shaken

(Mk 13:25) and the powers in heaven will be shaken

(Mt 24:29) the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

(Mk 13:24) the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

(Lk 21:25) There will appear signs in the sun, moon...

(Rev 6:12) the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood red.

(Lk 21:25) nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,

(Lk 21:26) as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

(Rev 6:14) The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

ADDED - (Mt 24:27) For when the Son of Man does come, it will be like lightning that flashes out of the East and fills the sky to the western horizon.

(Mt 24:30a) Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the land will mourn,

(Mt 24:30b)... and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory.

(Mk 13:26) Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory.

(Lk 21:27) And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with tremendous power and glory.

(Mt 24:31) He will send out his Angels with a great shofar, and they will gather together his chosen people [144,000] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(Mk 13:27) He will send out his Angels and gather together his chosen people [144,000] from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

(Rev 6:15,16&17) Then the earths Kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and mighty – indeed, everyone, slave and free – hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the Face of the One sitting on the Throne [ADONAI], and from the fury of the Lamb! For the Great Day of Their Fury has come, and who can stand?"

This is probably the best linear translation of MMLR. It begins with a great earthquake of Revelations 6 that is defined in the first verses given in Matthew, Mark, Luke and Jeremiah as the assault on Saudi Arabia by Iran. The attack is also defined by the powers in heaven being shaken. This is the air and sky above the earth and under space, basically our atmosphere.

(Second Peter 3:3-13) First, understand this: during the Last Days, scoffers will come, following their own desires and asking, "Where is this promised 'coming' of his? For our fathers have died, and everything goes on just as it has since the beginning of creation." But, wanting so much to be right about this, they overlook the fact that it was by God's Word that long ago there were heavens, and there was land which arose out of water and existed between the waters, and that by means of these things the world of that time was flooded with water and destroyed. It is by the same Word that the present heavens and earth, having been preserved, are being kept for fire until the Day of Judgment, when ungodly [not godly] people will be destroyed.

Moreover, dear friends, do not ignore this: with the Lord, one day is like 1000 years and 1000 years like one day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins. However, the Day of the Lord will come "like a thief." On that Day the heavens [atmosphere] will disappear with a roar, the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth [ground, region] and everything in it will be burned up.

Since everything is going to be destroyed like this, what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives, as you wait for the Day of God and work to hasten its coming. That Day will bring on the destruction of the heavens [atmosphere] by fire, and the elements will melt from the heat; but we, following along with his promise, wait for **new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness will be at home.**

Notice that only the ungodly are destroyed when he comes like a thief (and destroys the ungodly; this is not a 'rapture'), and that God is patient with us for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed.

Because the powers of heaven are shaken (at the destruction of Saudi Arabia), nations will be in bewilderment and anxiety, and people will faint at the prospect of what is overtaking the world. Meaning that every oil well in Saudi Arabia is burning and the world is thrown into a financial chaos because of the loss of that oil. The global stock market will crash. In essence, Saudi Arabia becomes the Lake of Fire. The people mourn over the whore, Saudi Arabia. Revelations 18:8-20 and Jeremiah chapters 50-51 tells of their mourning and how quickly in a single day, more-so verified three times, in one hour, of how quickly Saudi Arabia would be destroyed. Saudi Arabia becomes an everlasting fire because no one will be able to put out such an enormous fire.

(Jeremiah 50:46) At the sound of Babel's capture the earth quakes; their cry is heard throughout the nations.

And there's one more thing. People say that Christ is coming like a thief, referring to the rapture, and that no one will know the day or the hour of His coming, not even Christ, Right? Wrong!!! He is coming like a thief but only to Saudi Arabia on what Scripture calls the Day of His Vengeance and this 'like a thief' is in no way related to our gathering to meet Christ in the air. And soon you will understand why this author declares that Christ does know the day and the hour of His coming. "But the Bible says this!" you say? Yes, Christ said this before His death and Resurrection. – Lots of things changed when Christ died on the cross, including Christ's knowledge and authority!!!

**D12a: MMLR**

_The Sign of Christ's Return – 12a_

(Matthew 24:27) For when the Son of Man does come, it will be like lightning that flashes out of the East and fills the sky to the Western horizon.

Again, there can be two meanings here. The first is that the sky is ripped open revealing heaven and the Glory of God arrays across the horizon like lightning from the East to the West. The second fits just as well. For when Saudi Arabia is destroyed in a massive nuclear strike, it will light up the sky in the East, which Saudi Arabia is East of Jerusalem, and the light will fill the sky all the way across Jerusalem and Israel to the Western horizon over the Mediterranean Sea. This would also signify that the attack is in the evening. The Feast of Trumpets begins at sundown.

Luke tells us that the signs are the sun, moon and stars. So it can be assumed that the great earthquake, the destruction of Saudi Arabia (the whore of Babylon), is a sign that Christ is returning to the earth. Now this is when you have to take Luke at his word. He tells us when we begin to see these things happening, it is the time to lift your heads because your redemption is drawing near. This could mean it is possible when you see the political breakdown between Iran and Saudi Arabia and possibly 'threat levels' increase, that Christ may be coming for the faithful. Yes, a possible gathering together to meet our Lord in the air. But more so, this verse is for the people of Jerusalem because when they see all those things happening, that is, the destruction of Saudi Arabia, then they can expect Christ's coming to earth is imminent.

(Revelation 6:14) The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

This verse can have two meanings. Both interpretations have no effect on the surrounding verses or the timeline but they do have different ideas. The first possibility is that this verse belongs immediately behind the nuclear strike. Upon an atomic detonation, the mushroom cloud rising in the air seems to take on the look of an upside down scroll being rolled out. And the blast would definitely move mountains and islands. But the second meaning seems to fit just the same.

Revelation 6:14 is placed just before the return of the Son of Man. It is easy to imagine that the entire sky is ripped open across the horizon as the clouds churn at each end and heaven itself is revealed inside. It could look like something resembling a "tear" in space from one of those sci-fi movies with the powerful light of God's glory streaming across the heavens from the opening. A 'mountain' in the Word of God is described as being a nation and an island can be referred to as a smaller nation meaning that every nation and person in the Middle East will tremble and be stirred up when they see heaven opened up before them and the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and tremendous glory. Amen. But also according to Revelation 18 every nation will be stirred up and trembling when they see Saudi Arabia destroyed as well which fits also.

– So our answer to question number two, "What will be the sign of your coming?" is the destruction of Saudi Arabia, because immediately after this destruction everyone sees the Son of Man coming in the clouds with tremendous power and tremendous glory. Amen.

Another thing that needs to be made perfectly clear is that it is not just Christ coming by Himself. In Revelations 6:17, it's written perfectly clear that 'Their Fury has come.' The people left are trying to hide from Christ and ADONAI whom sits on the throne. They are in so much fear that they just want to die rather than face the Creator. Why is everyone in so much fear when they see God coming?

Verse 15 says "everyone" hides. This statement cannot be true if God's holy people are still on the earth. Most Christians would be running towards our Lord and Savior when He returns because we love Him so much and our fear of our Lord is a fear of respect and admiration, similar to a little child running up to their Father. It's not a fear of abuse but rather a parental/child Loving relationship. The Word of God is true, so we can safely assume that the faithful have their place with God and are no longer on the earth at this time. Also we can assume that a 'gathering' of God's people has taken place. And this is why they are in so much fear because they realized or rather they saw those that follow Christ being taken up to heaven. This is not an assumption, it's backed up with the Word of God and it will be covered shortly.

Also, if Christ and ADONAI are coming then we can assume that the angels of the Lord are coming with them. Add all of them with the Holy Spirit whom has been on the earth since the first day of Pentecost after Christ's death and resurrection, and we are left to assume that no one is left in the highest of heaven. So... when our Lord returns, one can conclude that Heaven will fall silent – at least for a little while.

_The Sign of the End of the Age of Faith – 12b_

Since Christ's death and resurrection the following 2000 years have been known to some people as the Church Age but it should be better named the Age of Faith. In the beginning God walked with Adam in the garden. Generations later God walked with Enoch and then took Enoch up to heaven with Him. Generations later God spoke to Noah and told him to build the ark. Again generations later, God spoke to Abraham and again generations later God spoke to Moses. When Moses led his people out of Egypt and they continued to sin against God, God still dwelt with them. But when the people said in their heart that they could do anything God wanted them to do, that is, when pride filled their heart, then, began the Age of Law – the birth of the 10 Commandments. It was then that God began separating himself from man because God hates pride. Pride comes from the Adversary, (Satan) Lucifer.

Now, when Christ died on the cross He fulfilled the Law, Christ put an end to the Law and the Age of Law was completed. The Law was finished so that Grace may abound. So it takes Faith to understand that today we live by Grace and not the Law. And Grace will abound through Faith until Christ himself returns because every eye will see Him when He returns and you really don't need faith anymore when the person you are waiting for has returned.

– So the End of the Age of Faith will come when the faithful are gone from the earth which should occur sometime before Christ returns and puts his feet down on earth, but almost literally at the same time as the Sign of the Return of Christ – well O.K., within the same hour (the proof is later). This is the point in time which has been poorly referred to as, 'the rapture'. But it is not, 'a rapture', it is though the gathering together of God's faithful people to meet their Creator in the air, to be with their God. How can there be an Age of Faith when the faithful are gone? How can you have faith anymore when you are staring 'eye to eye' with your God, the One you are waiting for? Yes again, when you see the relationships between Iran and Saudi Arabia fall apart be prepared for the "gathering" to see Christ and ADONAI!

This is the answer to the third question, "When is the End of the Age 'of Faith' and the Sign of God's return?" It is when the faithful are gone and Saudi Arabia is destroyed. And both will occur within an hour of each other.

**D12b – Sign of the End of the Age and the Sign of God's Return**

CHAPTER 13 - 144,000 CHOSEN PEOPLE

What puzzles me about one particular religion that exists today is that they believe that the 144,000 people that are sealed are the first 144,000 from their religion to go to heaven and the rest of humanity are stuck on earth. Now what's really ironic is that their Bible, in Revelations chapter 7, explains that the 144,000 that are to be sealed are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. And Revelation 7 is correct in their Bible! So I ask, read your Bible, do not accept my interpretation of it or their interpretation of it, but only, ask the Holy Spirit's interpretation of it and receive it. For by doing so you're accepting the Holy Spirit. But, deny the Holy Spirit and you have committed the only unpardonable sin in all of Scriptures. [Luke 12:8-10]

(Psalms 105:6-7) You descendants of Abraham his servant, you offspring of Jacob, His chosen ones, He is ADONAI our God!

(First Chronicles 16:13-14) You descendants of Israel His servants, you offspring of [Ya'akov] Jacob, His chosen ones: He is ADONAI our God: His judgments are everywhere on earth.

Revelation 7:1-8 tells us that four Angels are holding back the four winds of the earth so that they the 'winds' cannot 'harm' the land or the sea or the trees until the 144,000 servants of God have been sealed, with a seal from the living God, on their foreheads. These 144,000, in Revelation 14:4, have been ransomed from among humanity as first fruits for God and the Lamb, as the first fruits in Christ's Millennial Reign to come. They are holy and righteous people put aside for God's purpose and they will follow the Lamb wherever He goes when Christ returns to earth. This author believes that they are firstfruits of God's Grace and Mercy and Love for His reign and the Year of Redemption, that will begin when Christ and ADONAI returns. And these Jews may be 'setting a standard' for others to follow.

The 144,000 arrive with Christ on Mount Zion very soon after the destruction of the Whore of Babylon. They praise our Lord with a new song that only they can learn. A lot of hidden secrets will be revealed about these 144,000.

Recap of MMLR

What we have learned from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Revelation 6 is that it begins with Christ's death and resurrection. The Age of Faith begins, testing one's faith in God's Grace where we also see the enemy using the old Law to attack and destroy Christians. Then there is the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 A.D. which was divinely foretold.

With these prophecies come warnings regarding deception from the enemy that are given by Christ to all Christians that are relevant for the next 2000 years after His death.

And then, after the 2000 years, we get a 'glimpse' of some of the events surrounding the Day of Vengeance of our Lord.

Also a hint of a possible gathering together to meet our Lord in the air which will end the "Age of Faith" is given just before a massive nuclear attack on Saudi Arabia which is the sign that God is returning shortly (putting His feet down in Jerusalem on Mount Zion).

What follows the attack is the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to the earth with God the Father, ADONAI, and YESHUA's 144,000 chosen. Then soon He will begin His reign after His Day of Atonement with the (non-messianic) Jews and finally His setting up camp (the Feast of Tabernacles) will be just the beginning of the work to be done during His Year of Redemption.

His 144,000 chosen ones will be emissaries to the remaining 12 tribes of Israel.

Up till now we have only covered some of the first day of what's known as the "last days". Enjoy!
CHAPTER 14 - THE FIRST SHOFAR OF REVELATION 8

(Revelation 8:6) Now the seven angels with the seven shofars prepared to sound them.

(Revelation 8:7) The first one sounded his shofar; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was thrown down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

As we already know from Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 and our MMLR lesson is that there will be a nuclear strike on Saudi Arabia. The First Shofar of Revelation 8 is that strike. The verse describes what has happened immediately after the detonation. Water vapor in the atmosphere is compressed by the atomic explosion and pushed into the upper stratosphere. Here the water vapor is compressed in the upper stratosphere and turned into a gigantic sheet of ice that is soon broken up and falls back down to earth as very large hailstones into the fire that is a mixed with the blood of every living thing. Saudi Arabia consists of one third of the Middle East which means that this is a cross reference of evidence that Saudi Arabia would be totally destroyed.

This revelation is a vital key in the overall decoding of the book of Revelation. Hearing Walid Shoebat speak of Iran launching on Saudi Arabia instead of Israel to a Western preacher began my trek into these findings. Again I cannot express the importance of the great things that can come from one person doing the will of God.

Now, launching a nuclear strike is not a minor offense to the world today. Something great and marvelous in the eyes of the Iranians must occur for them to believe that they have the ability and authority from God to destroy Saudi Arabia and ignore possible repercussions from the rest of the globe. Now God does put it in the heart of the Iranians to do His will and destroy the whore of Babylon, but God's ways are not a man's ways. So when Iran commits to launching, they're not just going to destroy Saudi Arabia, they are going after all their enemies. The first four shofars give details of the extent of their attack.
CHAPTER 15 - REVELATION 17

The Beast Destroys the Whore in One Hour

– The first two letters of God is GO. The first three letters of Satan is SAT. So you can sit on your butt and do nothing or you can 'GO!' and please God – (Mike Warnke).

The last King to rule the great nation of the Beast will be the **Eighth King**. 10 kings will receive authority as kings for one hour to destroy the whore of Bavel. So basically as God proclaimed it, and Jeremiah prophesied of it, Iran under the authority with the kings of the beast will launch their nuclear weapons and destroy Saudi Arabia. This is the meaning behind Revelations 17. And it is the plan, and Word, of God.

(Revelation 17:11-18) "The beast which once was [a king] and now is not is an eighth king; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction. The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as kings for one hour, along with the beast. They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with him."

Then he (the angel with the seventh bowl) said to me, "The waters that you saw, where the Whore is sitting, are peoples, crowds, nations and languages. As for the 10 horns that you saw and the beast, they will hate the whore, bring her to ruin, leave her naked, eat her flesh and consume her with fire. For God put it in their hearts to do what will fulfill his purpose, that is, to be of one mind and give their kingdom to the beast until God's words have accomplished their intent. And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."

The great city that rules over the kings of the earth and holds the power of every country in their hand is Saudi Arabia. They are the richest and most powerful nation on earth. But God has a plan and HE will use the beast, a revived " **New 8th** " Beast Empire, to destroy Saudi Arabia.

Notice the numbers used for Revelation chapter 17; number 1 & 7 is "God, completes". And chapter 17 ends with verse 18, and 18 is numerically defined as "God (has), a new beginning". And then verified again with chapter 18 which is numerically defined as "God, (has), a new beginning". The reason at this point in Revelation that God put these numbers with these verses in this order is because God (number 1) Himself has destroyed "finished" (number 7) Babylon. But immediately after Bavel is destroyed God (1) will start a new beginning (8) because immediately after Babylon's destruction God is coming down to earth to be seen by man and man will experience His Kingdom Reigning. Remember, this is a puzzle full of insight and hidden meanings.

So:

**D15a – The Beast Destroys Kasdim**

CHAPTER 16 - REVELATION INTERRUPTED

John being taken up to heaven and seeing the things he saw is like a person walking into a great television store and seeing what he thinks is a different movie playing on each television. But the reality is he is seeing the same movie but different parts of that movie on each television screen. So what John saw in heaven is similar in this respect. Because he saw the entire picture of Revelation but he received it in pieces, in separate "visions". It is also similar to a detective accepting statements from witnesses regarding a crime. He must then organize all the statements into an 'as they occur' order to make sense of the crime.

Throughout Revelation John interrupts the reader with a series of 'next', 'then', 'after this' and 'after these things'. He wrote what he saw but by God's divine nature it was the perfect puzzle to throw off mankind for 2000 years. These interruptions, over 50 of them, must be separated, matched together with like verses, and then reassembled to give a clearer picture of the event or idea. Each interruption could mean that John turned his head to view another event taking place. And then, he would turn his head and see another event. After these things, he turned his head and looked again at something else. Next, he saw something else. – Do you get the picture?

Here are some of the interruptions listed with their chapter and verse.

(4:1) After these things,

(5:1) Next, (5:6) Then, (5:11) Then

(6:1) Next, (6:12) Then

(7:1) After this, (7:9) After this

(8:1) 'When', (8:6) Now, (8:13) Then

(9:1) 'Fifth Angel, (9:7) Now, (9:12) 1st Woe, (9:13) 'Sixth Angel'

(10:1) Next, (10:5) Next

(11:1) 'I', (11:3) Also, (11:11) But, (11:14) 2cd Woe, (11:15) 7th Angel, (11:19) Then

(12:1) Now, a great sign, (12:3) Another sign, (12:7) Next, (12:10) Then, (12:18) Then

(13:1) and, (13:11) Then

(14:1) Then, (14:6) Next, (14:13) Next, (14:14) Then

(15:1) Then, (15:5) After this,

(16:1) [I heard], (16:7) Then

(17:1) Then, (17:15) Then

(18:1) After these things, (18:4) Then, (18:21) Then

(19:1) After these things, (19:6) Then, (19:11) Next, (19:17) Then

(20:1) Next, (20:4) Then, (20:11) Next,

(21:1) Then, (21:5) Then,

(22:1) Next, (22:6) Then, (22:7) Look!, (22:8) Then, (22:10) Then, (22:12) Pay Attention!

Now that is a lot of interruptions! With that many interruptions, how can the book of Revelation possibly be a linear translation? Yet again, Christ's return is upon us which is the reason why only God allowed this new Revelation of the Book of Revelation. For because of God's Grace, Mercy and Love, He wants everyone to know what is soon to come. And God wants for us all to turn to Him and have the Good News of eternal life that He is freely giving!

Another revelation that was revealed by God is that each chapter of the Book of Revelation is in a linear order of time but still represents different times on our overall timeline when they are combined and/or overlapped with the other sections of the other chapters.

For example, in chapters 8 and 9 the shofars are in order on the timeline.

Shofar 1,Shofar 2,Shofar 3,Shofar 4,Shofar 5,Shofar 6,Shofar 7

TIMELINE>

And again, in chapter 16 the bowl judgments are in order on the timeline.

Bowl 1,Bowl 2,Bowl 3,Bowl 4,Bowl 5,Bowl 6,Bowl 7

TIMELINE>

So now you know that each chapter is in a linear order. Now let's look at an **example** using an 'alphabet timeline' of how each chapter will come together on our primary timeline by assigning a letter for each event in that chapter.

Example:

Chapter 8's Event: Shofar 1 = A, Shofar 2 = C, Shofar 3 = E, Shofar 4 = G

Chapter 9's Event: Shofar 5 = M, Shofar 6 = P
Chapter 16: Bowl 1 = B, Bowl 2 = D, Bowl 3 = F, Bowl 4 = H, Bowl 5 = N, Bowl 6 = Q

Each event from each chapter is in order on a timeline but they will intersect with the other chapters to form a clearer picture as shown in the example below.

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,M,N,P,Q,etc.

TIMELINE>

Now the events of I, J, K, and L are clearly missing on the timeline above. These missing events belong to another chapter of the Book of Revelation and must be added together with these events to complete the timeline example given.

So to sum things up each one of the interruptions in the entire Book of Revelation is a single event. Each one of these events will interconnect in between two other events to eventually form a long single line on our timeline. And again, this timeline must agree with the Old Testament and other books like in Matthew, Mark, and Luke to form our singular idea from the Old Testament that the Book of Revelation is one "Day of Vengeance" and a "Year of Redemption" long. And don't forget that there is a Millennial Reign amongst the Year.
CHAPTER 17 - INTERPRETING AND DECODING

How to Interpret and De-Code The Book of Revelation

**Rule number one:** Each chapter is a timeline that starts with verse one and ends with the last verse of that chapter.

**Rule number two:** Each chapter intersects or blends with other chapters to form a greater singular timeline.

**Rule number three:** If a verse represents a 'future tense' or a 'past participle' such as "will be" or "has been" or "on the contrary" then that particular verse can be placed anywhere on the finished singular timeline where the surrounding evidence places it.

**Rule number four:** Always look and be aware of keywords that interrupt a chapter's timeline. For instance, "I am playing in the game on Saturday. But before that day I will practice hard and eat healthier and then I will buy a new pair of shoes for the game". Now for a timeline, the events above will fall in this order: I will practice hard, I will eat healthier (these two events actually intermix on the timeline), I will buy a new pair of shoes for the game, and last, I am playing in the game on Saturday. This is how last days Scriptures should be interpreted from the Bible.

And remember the divine awesomeness of God, how His Scriptures interpret Scriptures. Many books from the Old Testament and New Testament blend with the Book of Revelation to form a greater picture of the events to come. And of course not all Scriptures will be in this book, the reader must read the Word of God studying the Old Testament and the New Testament as one's knowledge increases. Don't be lukewarm!
CHAPTER 18 - THE FOUR RESURRECTIONS

When you hear people disagreeing on the 'rapture', as our gathering to meet Christ has been referred to, and they all make very good points using scripture to back up their claim, it still leaves you wondering what the truth is. The problem is not in their interpretation, the problem is that when the New Testament was translated into English for us by King James, those translators whether deliberately or not made a few errors. For example, in Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah YESHUA." After 'the Messiah YESHUA', there is a period not a comma. If you look in your King James Bible, old or new, you will find additional Scripture for Romans 8:1. The truth is that this addition is not true. From the original Greek, Romans 8:1, is only the Scripture you just read above. It was possibly the intent of the translator to make sense of this verse because they could not understand the Grace of God. And so they've misled generations of people into thinking that they have to balance the works of the flesh with Grace. Grace stands alone. Grace cannot be mixed with any type of works because if it is it is not Grace! Amen!

– For our sake, let's be thankful to those that translate Scriptures today. Using the Complete Jewish Bible translated by David H. Stern, this study was made possible with a more correct translation of Scripture. Again thanks to those who do the will of God, for in doing so, they save even more people.

The gathering together to meet Christ has been singularly referred to as the rapture. The problem with a single rapture is that it is not true. The fact is that there are **three** resurrections after Christ died on the cross ( **four including Christ** ). In my entire life this fact has never been taught. The single rapture comes from a linear teaching of the Book of Revelation. Meaning, they started at the beginning and read to the end and believe that the last days takes place in that order. So this is why there are so many arguments concerning our gathering together to meet our Lord in the air.

In the beginning of the Book of Revelation John is taken up into heaven, so some believe this represents the 'rapture'. At the end of Revelation's, there is what's called the 'first resurrection'. Here, many believe that this 'rapture' takes place then. And then, in First Corinthians 15:52, there is the final Seventh Shofar where the believer is changed in a blink of an eye, and the believer is raised. With a linear translation the Seventh Shofar is somewhere in the middle of the Book of Revelations. Are you confused yet? This is why there are so many arguments concerning our gathering to meet the Lord in the air. Within deciphering Revelation's God showed me that there is not just one resurrection after Christ's death, there are a total of four. After finding **all four** first, I asked the Lord for confirmation. He gave me the confirmation in First Corinthians 15:20-28 (Complete Jewish Bible).

But the fact is that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have died. For since death came through a man, also the resurrection of the dead has come through a man. For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive. But each in his own order:

[1] the Messiah is the firstfruits;

[2] then those who belong to the Messiah,

[3] at the time of his coming;

[4] then the culmination

when he hands over the kingdom to God the father, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power. For he has to rule until he puts all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be done away with will be death, for "he puts everything in subjection under his feet." But when it says that "everything" has been subjected, obviously the word does not include God, who is himself the one subjecting everything to the Messiah. Now when everything has been subjected to the Son, then he will subject himself to God, who subjected everything to him; so that God may be everything in everyone. (First Corinthians 15:20-28).

If you reference this verse to King James or any other version of the Word of God you will note the difference in punctuation and representation. The punctuation after 'order:' with the 'colon' tells the reader that the following **are all** the resurrections. Of course, the Messiah is the Firstfruits. The second was those that belong to the Messiah. The third is at the time of His coming. And the fourth, resurrection is at His culmination. If you forget the 'comma' after Messiah in the second then that would mean that the second and third are one. For example, "then those who belong to the Messiah at the time of his coming" would be one resurrection. But the 'comma' lets us know that there are two resurrections here instead of just one. So again there are a total of four resurrections.

Considering this from First Corinthians 15:21-22, do you think that a resurrection sounds impossible? To the hundreds to millions of people on Earth **before** sin entered man's life, the word "death" was unfathomable! These eternal creatures and man couldn't understand what death meant. It wasn't even a vocabulary word. Now today, everyone knows what death is but for many the word "resurrection" isn't understood at all. It's ironic what 6000 years of sin can do to a person.

_The First Resurrected – 18a_

The Scripture tells us that the Messiah is the Firstfruits, the first to be raised from the dead, the first resurrected, by the Holy Spirit. When Christ spilled His blood at the cross to pay for your sins and mine we became joint heirs in His kingdom as long as we accept Him as our Savior.

_The Second Resurrected – 18b_

The verse continues saying "then those who belong to the Messiah". "Those" were all the faithful holy people that kept the Law of God throughout time up to the point of Christ's death. And we can find this first group of resurrected people from 1st Corinthians 15:23, to match the resurrected people in Matthew 27:52.

At that moment the parokhet (curtain) in the temple was ripped in two from top to bottom; and there was an earthquake, with rocks splitting apart. Also the graves were opened, and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life; and after YESHUA rose, they came out of the graves and went into the holy city, where many people saw them. When the Roman officer and those with him who were keeping watch over YESHUA saw the earthquake and what was happening, they were awestruck and said, "He really was a son of God." (Matthew 27:51-54)

Why didn't they put that in any of those movies??

This was the second resurrected; a group of people who were resurrected immediately after Jesus Christ. They were the holy ones, those who served the one true God of heaven. They were resurrected to life on earth. What is unclear is where they went after they went into the holy city Jerusalem. First assumption suggests that they ascended into heaven as Christ did but there is no evidence of this. Another fact is that these persons did not receive their immortal bodies, yet. But there is one verse from Peter that suggests that those of the second resurrection remained on earth to live out their lives under Grace, having already been deceased (living by the Law). That they are given an opportunity and the experience to live by the Spirit and by Grace rather than living by the Law as they were so accustomed to doing.

This is why He was proclaimed to those who have died; it was so that, although physically they would receive the judgment common to all humanity, they might live by the Spirit in the way that God has provided. (First Peter 4:6).

This also should suggests that God does not want law abiding robots but rather for you to live by the Spirit, by every Word out of God's mouth, to be obedient and understand God's Love through our Lord YESHUA, The HOLY SPIRIT and ADONAI.

An example of living by the spirit is when you get a compelling urge to do something good for someone. And then you say to yourself why do I feel like this? That is the Holy Spirit talking to you. He will speak to the believer of Christ as long as that believer is listening. Sometimes we don't listen and therefore miss out on what God has for us.

_The Third Resurrected: the Two Witnesses – 18c_

In order to understand the third group of resurrected persons you must learn first a history lesson. Revelations 11:1-13 is a small story regarding two witnesses. Again there's been much speculation throughout history regarding who these two witnesses are. In a linear translation, these two witnesses appear as some sort of last resort for sinners to come to repentance and plague the enemy. But in 2007, Ellis Skolfield had a new theory. That these two witnesses were not two individuals, but rather, two very large groups of people: the Jews and the Christians but more defined as the Holy Jewish people of the Old Testament time, and Holy Christians of the New Testament's 'Age of Faith'. (Note: Jews are also Christians during the Age of Faith). And also, that the 1260 days are not days, but years. This means that the Holy Jewish people and the Christians have some form of witness to the world for 1260 years during the Age of Faith.

Now Jesus told parables because many men refused the direct words of Christ. So it makes sense that Jesus would use parables many times for the last days Scriptures. The story of the two witnesses is one such parable.

Revelations 11:1-13 – I was given a measuring rod like a stick and told, "Get up, and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count how many people are worshiping there! (2) But the court outside the temple, leave that out; don't measure it; because it has been given to the Goyim (Gentiles), and they will trample over the holy city for 42 months."

(3) "Also I will give power to my two witnesses; and they will prophesy for 1260 days, dressed in sackcloth." (4) These are the two olive trees and the two menorahs standing before the Lord of the earth. (5) If anyone tries to do them harm, fire comes out of their mouth and consumes their enemies – yes, if anyone tries to harm them, this is how he must die. (6) They have the authority to shut up the sky, so that no rain falls during the period of their prophesying; also they have the authority to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

(7) When they finish their witnessing, the beast coming up out of the abyss will fight against them, overcome them and kill them; (8) and their dead bodies will lie in the main street of the great city whose name, to reflect its spiritual condition, is "Sodom and Egypt"– the city where there Lord was executed on a stake. (9) Some from the nations, tribes, languages and peoples see their bodies for three-and-a-half days and do not permit the corpses to be placed in a tomb. (10) The people living in the land rejoice over them, they celebrate and send each other gifts, because these two prophets tormented them so.

(11) But after the three-and-a-half days a breath of life from God entered them, they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on all those who saw them. (12) Then the two heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" And they went up into heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watch them. (13) In that hour there was a great earthquake, and a 10th of the city collapsed. 7000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were awestruck and gave glory to the God of heaven.

There are many things you can do to try and understand a parable. You can look at relationships with similar verses or similar ideas used somewhere else. But the best way for our generation is to just ask the Lord to reveal it to you and as long as you keep your communication abilities open He will show you.

Verses 1 & 2

Remember when we calculated 6000 years from the inner and outer courts of the temple? In verse one and two, we are told to leave the outer court out. 6000-4000 = 2000. These 2000 years since Christ died on the cross is the timeframe for this story, a time of Grace; the Age of Faith.

Verse 3

And the Gentiles (non-Jewish and non-Christian) did trample the holy city Jerusalem for 1260 years, the '42 months', in verse three by establishing the Islamic religion's "Dome of the Rock" in 688 A.D. on the foundation where the Temple of God once stood. 1948-688=1260. Israel was reestablished in 1948. Ellis Skolfield explained these events in his book.

Verse 4

In verse four the two Olive trees and the two menorahs are representations of the two 'governments' of Christ's church. Just as in Revelations 1:20 the meanings of the seven stars, and the seven gold menorahs in Christ's hand, represent the seven messianic communities in Turkey. Again this, Scripture interprets Scripture, verifies that the Two Witnesses are not two individuals but rather the Two Olive Trees and/or the Two Menorahs which are the Holy Jewish people and the Christians during the Age of Faith.

Verses 5 & 6

Now Christ received all power in heaven and earth when He was resurrected and Jesus himself told us that greater things will we do once He ascends to the Father, ADONAI. So verse five represents the power we have through Christ. We can bring fire down from heaven, whereas the fire is the Holy Spirit, to consume our enemies or heal the sick or raise the dead or literally bring fire down from heaven. As a Christian under the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ we are capable of anything. Amen. Christ told us, "Greater works will you do once I ascend to the Father." Amen again.

In verse six the two witnesses have the authority to shut up the sky so that no rain falls during the period of their prophesying. This verse declares that the two witnesses can speak a word and declare that no rain shall fall, which is probably why the Middle East is mostly desert. It also means that we have the authority to call the rain down from heaven also!

Verses 7-10

Remember this is a parable. The 'beast' which represents the Adversary's religion, in verses seven and eight, kills the two witnesses. And since Islam, in its true form, was born, their main objective has been to kill Jews and Christians. Islam's 'policy' is to leave their victim's bodies where they kill them to strike fear in people's heart. But verses seven and eight also tell of a future story (which occurred in 70 A.D.). This is when Satan's army came up against Jerusalem, where our Lord was executed on the stake, and slaughtered many inhabitants of Jerusalem. This is a history lesson from 70 A.D. when the Beast (the Adversary's religion) destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and where Jews and Christians were slaughtered in Jerusalem. (More about this is in Daniel).

Verses 9-11

In verses 9 and 11, "the three-and-a-half days" represent 3.5 days. And a day to God is 1000 years to man, so, 3. 5×1000 = 3500. This is the 3500 years of Israel's bondage. And many people from different nations, tribes, and languages have helped the Jewish and Christian communities. They have protected them from extinction (the tomb). But the people (Gentiles) living in the land (Jerusalem) in verse 10, rejoice over these two communities hardships.

Verses 11-12

After the 3500 years, meaning after the end of the 3500 years of Israel's bondage, when Israel became a nation in 1948, (again I say sometime after 1948), the two communities of Messianic Jews and Christians will hear a voice say, "Come up here!" And they will be resurrected and lifted up in their presence bodies, not changed to immortality yet, up to a cloud to meet the Lord in the air. An important note in verse 12 is "while their enemies watch them". This is when the third group of resurrected persons, those that live and have lived by faith, are resurrected. But again, just like the second resurrected, they are not given their immortal bodies yet. The Two Witnesses are the Third Resurrected!

Verse 13

Verse 13 gives a structural hint in the linear timeframe of Revelation's. It tells us that within one hour or in that hour of our gathering to meet Christ in the air, that there is a great earthquake. There is only one other great earthquake in Book of Revelation. There are smaller earthquakes and a massive earthquake but only one other 'great earthquake'. This great earthquake takes place in Revelations 6, when the 6th Seal was peeled off revealing more details of the nuclear strike by Iran on Saudi Arabia.

So within an hour before the destruction of Saudi Arabia, the Two Witnesses will hear a voice from heaven saying, "Come Up Here!" These people of the Third Resurrection will be lifted up while their enemies watch them and taken up to a cloud to meet the Lord in the air. And since you are not changed into your new immortal form yet, you will be lifted up by Angels to the heavens to meet your Lord in the air. More about that later!!!

"And a 10th of the city collapsed. 7000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were awestruck and gave glory to the God of heaven." This tells us that in the city Jerusalem, of plus or minus 70,000 people after the Third Resurrection, 7000 people will lose their life as a result of this earthquake or whatever caused this earthquake. Either the ground is shaking in Jerusalem from Saudi Arabia being destroyed or a possible missile found its way into the city. So, the beginning of our linear definition of Revelation so far is this; the Third Resurrection then within an hour of the Third Resurrection the great earthquake (Saudi Arabia being destroyed) occurs causing 7000 people in Jerusalem to lose their lives. But the rest in Jerusalem give glory to God in heaven.

Another passage concerning the Third Resurrection can be found in First Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Now, brothers, we want you to know the truth about those who have died; otherwise, you might become sad the way other people do who have nothing to hope for. For since we believe that YESHUA died and rose again, we also believe that in the same way God, through YESHUA, will take with him those who have died. When we say this, we base it on the Lord's own word: we who remain alive when the Lord comes will certainly not take precedence over those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling angels, and with God's shofar; those who died united with the Messiah will be the first to rise; then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord. So encourage each other with these words. (First Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Notice that Christ comes down with a rousing cry, with a call from one of the ruling Angels, and with God's Shofar. First, this gathering and resurrecting is made with God's Shofar not the Final Shofar of First Corinthians 15:52. These two events are separate! Because with the Final Shofar, which is the 7th Shofar, there is not a voice from heaven saying 'Come up here', neither is it in First Corinthians 15:52 nor is it in Revelation 20. Also having Christ and an Angel shouting from the heavens matches what our two witnesses hear from heaven telling them to "Come up here". So here again our evidence stands firm, this is the Third Resurrection.

And also notice that those "united with the Messiah" (First Thessalonians 4:16 and First Corinthians 15:23) also fits the idea that the people from the Second Resurrection (the ones that came out of their tombs after Christ died and then lived again under Grace) who died once already are to be resurrected again when Christ gathers both, those that have died who have accepted Christ as their Savior and those that are alive who have accepted Christ as their Savior, up to be with him in the clouds avoiding the wrath (or test) that is coming up for the world.

_The Forth Resurrected – 18d_

To recap, the First Resurrection was Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The Second Resurrection was immediately after Jesus's Resurrection. The Third Resurrection will take place soon. And the Forth Resurrection will take place; you guessed it, at the Final Shofar in Revelation.

Revelation 10:6(b)-7 [man(s)-completion (from the) Law(10)], "There will be no more delay; on the contrary, in the days of the sound from the seventh angel when he sounds his shofar, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion, the Good News as he proclaimed it to his servants the prophets."

And what was this proclaimed hidden plan of God?

First Corinthians 15: 51-57, "Look, I will tell you a secret – not all of us will die! But we will all be changed! It will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the final shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we too will be changed. For this material which can decay [your body] must be clothed with imparishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality. When what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality, then this passage in the TANAKH (Old Testament Scripture) will be fulfilled:

"Death is swallowed up in victory." (Isaiah 25:8)

"Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?" (Hosea 13:14)

The sting of death is sin; and sin draws its power from the Torah [Law]; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord YESHUA the Messiah!"

The secret of the hidden plan that every Christian is waiting for is to be changed into an immortal sin free person; a complete "son of God". This is Good News!!

The timing of this resurrection, as we know from First Corinthians 15:24, is at the Culmination, when Christ hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power. The Culmination occurs sometime around the battle at Har Megiddo; after the 6th Bowl.

An Inappropriately Defined Resurrection

(Revelation 20:6) Blessed and holy is anyone who has a part in the first resurrection; over him the second death has no power. On the contrary, they will be cohanim (high priests) of God and of the Messiah, and they will rule with him for the thousand years.

This is another verse that has been abused in its interpretation since King James. Used by the 7 year 'tribbers' to indicate the last resurrection and then what follows is a 1000 year 'millennial' reign of Christ; even though it is written as the 'first' resurrection. However its true interpretation from the original Greek has been totally discarded.

Why, because most interpreters have adopted the 7 year tribulation as truth even though it cannot be explained thoroughly or clearly. So the translation remains allowing the reader to believe that this is the first and only resurrection available, but as we are aware of already is that this is not true.

Now if you've never studied the 7 year tribulation theory then take a moment and thank the Lord. The rest of us must understand that in order to fully grasp this translation the reader must discard all formats and organization that has accumulated from the 7 year tribulation theory. Why? Because Chapter 20 is going to cause your brain to go numb while explaining that "first resurrection".

**D18a – The Gatherings-Resurrections (1of2)**

**D18b – The Gatherings-Resurrections (2of2)**

CHAPTER 19 - THE OUTSIDE OF THE SCROLL; REVELATION 5

(Revelation 5:1-5) Next I saw in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne a Scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with Seven Seals; and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the Scroll and break its Seals?" But no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was able to open the Scroll or look inside it. I cried and cried, because no one was found worthy to open the Scroll or look inside it. One of the elders said to me, "Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the Scroll and its Seven Seals."

When John saw the scroll in ADONAI'S hand he noticed that it had been written on both sides. Common sense declares that if John saw writing on the outside of the sealed scroll in God's hand then everyone who approached the Throne could see it too. Which means, before Christ had the authority to open the scroll, He knew what was written on the part that was visible. What was written on the Outside of the Scroll is probably what Christ relayed to His disciple's Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Peter regarding the destruction of the Temple, the end of the age and the sign of His return.

Now, after Christ won the authority to open the scroll, before He could do so, He had to remove Seven Seals. Again, what Christ knew about the 'last days', before He had the authority to open the scroll, was recorded in the Scriptures that we reviewed from Matthew, Mark and Luke. This means, and you have to envision this, that as Christ removed the First Seal, He revealed a little more of what was written on the outside of the scroll that pertained to what Christ had already told his disciples. The same goes for the Second Seal, the Third Seal, the Fourth Seal, the Fifth Seal, the Sixth Seal and the Seventh Seal. This means that the majority of these Seals revealed visions (additional information) of what Christ spoke of to His disciples regarding the three things that were going to take place soon after He (Christ) went up in the clouds. Remember what these three things were:

[1] The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (fulfilled in 70 A.D.)

[2] The sign of Christ's return and...

[3] When the end of the Faith Age would be.

What Christ covered the most in Matthew Mark and Luke was the events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. So to us the first four Seals [the Four Horsemen parables] that were revealed, when Christ removed them, is basically history for us. And we already learned that the Sixth Seal revealed the same prophetic meaning that Matthew Mark and Luke revealed, that the end of the age would be after 2000 years and that there also would be the sign of Christ's return. This was covered in MMLR.

(Revelation 5:6) Then I saw standing there with the throne and the four living beings, in the circle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been slaughtered. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the sevenfold Spirit of God sent out into all the earth.

In that great sea of glass (angels), within the circle of elders, Christ is seen standing there but He is represented as a Lamb. John can see the marks on Christ's hands and feet and His side which ensures the reader that this is after Christ's resurrection. The Lamb has seven horns (complete, authority) and seven eyes (complete, Revelation). Christ has complete Authority, Revelation and Power. Christ has the Complete Spirit of God on him. And He sends that Spirit out into all the earth, for you and for me.

"As Christ is, so are you in this world." [1 John 4:17]

One more thing! Remember everyone's favorite verse that they quote from Mark 13:32 when you are trying to explain to them how soon Christ is coming?

(Mark 13:32) However, when that day and hour will come, no one knows – not the Angels in heaven, not the Son, just the Father.

Now, common sense and **logic** dictates that Christ did not have the authority to open the scroll in ADONAI's hand when He, Jesus, spoke this verse to His disciples.

**D19a – The Scroll of Revelation in ADONAI's Hand**

But after His Death and Resurrection ALL Power, ALL Authority, ALL Revelation and ALL Knowledge in heaven and earth IS Christ's. And Christ did open the scroll almost 2000 years ago revealing all things for the 'end times' to John including the Day and the Hour of His Coming! And it's plum illogical to believe that the all-powerful, inter-dimensional, time controlling Christ doesn't know where or when He will be in the future! And for those who trust and believe this simple logic then one can also assume that since God loves us more than we can imagine, that He may also let us know when Christ and ADONAI are coming and when the end of the Faith Age is, maybe even down to the day and the hour of our resurrection.

Don't "not try" just because someone says you can't. We are sons and daughters of the **Most High** and Living God, ADONAI our Father whose Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth gives us His knowledge and authority and made us **High Priests** because they love us More Than Words Can Say! Amen!

(Revelation 5:7-8) He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. When he took the scroll the four living beings and the 24 elders fell down in front of the Lamb. Each one held a harp and gold bowls filled with pieces of incense, which are the prayers of God's people;

(Revelation 5:9-10) and they sang a new song, "You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals; because you were slaughtered; at the cost of blood you ransomed for God persons from every tribe, language, people and nation. You made them into a kingdom for God to rule, cohanim [high priests] to serve him; and they will rule over the earth."

Notice that after Christ takes the scroll out of God the Father's hand and the Angels and the Elders fall down in front of him to worship him with harps and gold bowls filled with incense, notice the 'fire' is not among them. Only the four living beings and the 24 Elders are there. Small details such as this help us with our timeline. And the answer is that the 'Fire' [resurrected people] has not arrived in heaven yet. Christ opened the scroll sometime before 70 A.D. revealing to Christ Himself when ALL these events were going to occur!!!
CHAPTER 20 - BREAKING THE SEALS OF REVELATION 6

Breaking the seals may be the most important part of this entire study. Knowing that Christ had ALL AUTHORITY, 2000 years ago to peal these seals off the scroll that was written on both sides enlightens the reader to the importance of when all these things take place. The history of the scroll in ADONAI's hand began immediately after Christ's resurrection. And ADONAI knows everything because nothing can exist without HIM. HE IS! And since Christ's death and resurrection 2000 years ago; Christ IS! There is no mystery here, no good against evil. GOD IS.

Let it sink in.

Everything God has done, everything Christ has done, is for you to receive the Truth. All of this is because He loves His creation. And God wants you to understand this Love and study His Word to receive the knowledge of the Truth. **Whatever nation or religion you are from** the God of the Jews is inviting you to receive His Love, Power, Authority, Mercy and Grace, and Eternal Life to dwell with the Most High God, ADONAI.

Underneath each of the first four seals, there is written a parable of a horseman. These parables of the horsemen are to be defined with the Word of God and our history to determine exactly who or what these horsemen are. Greater historians than I will be able to define these horsemen better in the future. But for now the reader is given a brief and easy definition of the horsemen by the author. These definitions of the horsemen are found under each of the first four seals as Christ peeled away each seal from the scroll.
CHAPTER 21 - SEALS 1-4

The First Seal

(Revelation 6:1-2) Next I watched as the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings say in a thundering voice, "Go!" I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse; its rider had a bow and was given a crown; and he rode off as a conqueror to conquer.

Remember that Christ was given the authority to remove the seals immediately after His resurrection approximately in 32 A.D. In Revelation 12:5 the child that was snatched up to God is Jesus Christ; the one who will rule all nations with a staff of iron. He was "snatched up" in 32 A.D. And then we have the following.

(Revelation 12:7-10) Next there was a battle in heaven – Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But it was not strong enough to win, so that there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown out, that ancient serpent, also known as the devil and Satan [the Adversary], the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled down to earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "Now have come God's victory, power and kingship, and the authority of his Messiah; because the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them day and night before God, has been thrown out!"

(Revelation 12:11-12) "They defeated him because of the Lambs blood and because of the message of their witness. Even when facing death they did not cling to life. Therefore, rejoice, heaven and you who live there! But woe to you, land and sea, for the Adversary has come down to you, and he is very angry, because he knows that his time is short!"

After Christ's resurrection [after 32 A.D.] the Adversary and his Angels (one third of them) is kicked out of heaven by the Angel Michael.

(Jude 1:5-7) Since you already know all this, my purpose is only to remind you that ADONAI, who once delivered the people from Egypt, later destroyed those who did not trust. And the Angels that did not keep within their original authority, but abandoned their proper sphere, he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for the Judgment of the Great Day. And S'dom, and 'Amora (Sodom and Gomorrah) and the surrounding cities, following a pattern like theirs, committing sexual sins and perversions, lie exposed as a warning of the everlasting fire awaiting those who must undergo punishment.

The Adversary, without his Angels, declares war on mankind because he knows his time is short. (If you've been an eternal creature living with God in the eternal realm, then 2000 years seems very, very short!) It is Satan, the Adversary, who is represented as the rider on the white horse and a crown (some authority) was given to him. This authority or kingship [crown] is over his kingdom, the Beast. Since he was given 'some' authority, it also means that his bow is limited, meaning he cannot harm whoever he chooses, but only those whom ADONAI allows him to harm. Notice also that he was not given any arrows for his bow. He then rides off as a conqueror, and his first objective after Christ received all power and all authority at the cross was the Jewish people, God allowed this because so many of the Jews refused Grace, His Son Jesus THE CHRIST and continued in the worshipping of the Law and its idols.

Back to Revelation 6, 'one' of the four living beings is actually the Lion rank of Angels, the 'first' living being that encircle the Throne of God, whom are the Cherubim Angels. All the Cherubim's in one thundering voice shouted, "Go!", and sent the rider (the Adversary) on his way. His objective is to fulfill those things that Christ told his disciples about in Matthew, Mark and Luke concerning the persecution of God's people and the Temple destruction in 70 A.D.

Some believe that the rider of the white horse is somehow Christ but this is not true. Christ earned everything at the cross conquering death hell and the grave. Christ does not need to be given a crown or to conquer with war and famine and death. And that's not my Savior's style anyway.

The Second Seal

(Revelation 6:3-4) When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, "Go!" Another horse went out, a red one; and its rider was given authority to take peace away from the earth and make people slaughter each other. He was given a great sword.

When Christ broke (peeled off) the second seal, the second ring of angels around God's Throne known in their rank as the "Ox" Angels shouted "Go!" A blood red horse went out, a representation of bloodshed. Now, notice that the rider was given authority because without the authority from God he could do nothing. The rider of this horse is possibly Titus or the Kasdim leader and he is backed by the Red Dragon (the Adversary). And the bloodshed, the people slaughtering each other, is the Jewish people fighting the Roman Army and the Kasdim Army in 70 A.D. Again this authority was given to him by God to complete God's purpose. This story is reflected in Revelation 12 as the serpent (the Adversary) spewing water like a river (his army) out of its mouth after the woman (Israel).

(Revelation 12:13-18) When the dragon saw that he had been hurled down to earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where she is taking care of for a season and two seasons and half a season, away from the serpent's presence. The serpent spewed water like a river out of its mouth after the woman, in order to sweep her away in the flood; but the land came to her rescue – it opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of its mouth. The dragon was infuriated over the woman and went off to fight the rest of her children, those who obey God's commands and bear witness to YESHUA. Then the dragon stood on the seashore;

God's spirit of protection the "wings of the great eagle" protected the remnant of Israel that fled. This is also what is written in Matthew, Mark and Luke when Jesus warns the people of Judah to not look back and to not go into their house but to flee Judah when they see Titus (or the king of Kasdim) or rather when they hear that an evil one was standing in the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem. The land that came to the rescue could represent Petra. Those that fled and made it to Petra had a tactical advantage against an enemy due to the strategic layout of the land. And there is also another possibility.

(Zechariah 14: 3-5) Then ADONAI will go out and fight against those nations, fighting as on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies to the east of Jerusalem; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half from East to West, to make a huge valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south. You will flee to the Valley in the mountains, for the Valley in the mountains will reach Atzel. You will flee, just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uriah King of Judah. Then ADONAI my God will come to you with all the holy ones.

When the Adversary realized he couldn't destroy the remnant because of the protection from God's Angels he left the remnant and went to destroy all the other offspring. And since then he has done this directly and indirectly. Directly by killing and murdering the body and indirectly by killing the soul of man through other religions (sin).

"He was given a great sword", can have two meanings. The first great sword is the great army that was directly killing the Jews. The second sword is the Law (representing Moses's Law) used by Satan to reignite the Law. After God's Grace fulfilled the Law, the Law could not coexist with Grace. So when someone tries to mix Grace with the Law they tend to birth religions, such as Islam and other counterfeit forms of Christianity, which usually results in the destruction of man's faith in God and the man (person) himself.

The Third Seal

(Revelation 6:5-6) When he broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, "Go!" I looked and there in front of me was a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. And I heard what looked like a voice from among the four living beings say, "2 pounds of wheat for a day's wages! 6 pounds of barley for the same price! But don't damage the oil or the wine!"

When Christ broke the third seal, the third Circle of "Human" Angels that surrounded the throne of God said "Go!" to the rider on the black horse that was holding a pair of scales. This rider holding the scales is a representation of a lawyer whom rides around looking for those who are found wanting. Just as in Daniel 5 when Belshatzar, the King of the Kasdim, was killed after the writing on the wall by the Hand of God told him that his kingdom had been weighed and found wanting (come up short), so also does the rider on the black horse go out and weigh the nations for the next 2000 years. Remember the parable that Jesus spoke of regarding the wheat and the tares, how they would grow together until the end when they are harvested; the wheat will be gathered but the tares will be burned? Well, Christ paid the price for the wheat in these 2000 years (2 pounds) of the 'Age of Faith' and paid the price for the barley (all creation) for the entire 6000 years (6 pounds) since Adam. But don't damage the (new) oil and wine (those whom have accepted Christ's Grace, Mercy and Love) because they are covered by the Blood of the Lamb. –Meaning, the Adversary is still trying to judge man in contempt of court for all their actions but he cannot judge those covered by the Blood of the Lamb!!! Grace far exceeds the Law in Mercy! AMEN!

(Romans 5:18-21) In other words, just as it was through one offense that all people came under condemnation, so also it is through one righteous act that all people come to be considered righteous. For just as through the disobedience of the one man, many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the other man, many will be made righteous. And the Torah (Law) came into the picture so that the offense would proliferate; but where sin proliferated, grace proliferated even more. All this happened so that just as sin ruled by means of death, so also grace might rule through causing people to be considered righteous, so that they might have eternal life, through YESHUA the Messiah, our Lord.

Don't get discouraged by this evil lawyer. You have an Advocate to the Judge and His name is YESHUA. He paid the price so that you will stand confident on the Day of Judgment and have no fear whatsoever! Amen!

The Fourth Seal

(Revelation 6:7-8) When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, "Go!" I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid, sickly-looking horse. Its rider's name was Death, and Sh'ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth.

Simply put, during the 2000 years of the Age of Faith, death and hell will claim one quarter of the lives throughout that time. Meaning, one quarter of the people that have lived from Christ's resurrection until His return who will not accept Grace and Mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ will be sent to everlasting death. And they will be weighed on the scales and found wanting as their sentence for their ignorance will be hell. Those who die with Christ do not experience hell, but eternal life through YESHUA Christ our Lord!
CHAPTER 22 - FIFTH SEAL & THE 144,000

(Revelation 6:9-11) When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the word of God, that is, for bearing witness. They cried out in a loud voice, "Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on the earth and avenge our blood?" Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been.

These are God's holy one's whom stood their ground against the enemy. They were witnesses to God even when it meant torture or death. Middle East Christians are a primary example of these souls under the altar that did not turn from Christ as Isis raped their towns and butchered them to pieces. There are Christians that stumble in their walk with God, and some are weak, but that is where Mercy abounds. But we give God honor when we stand on His Faith even unto death. And their prayers are stored up to God for that Great Day of Judgment.

Could the souls under the altar also be the 144,000 chosen Jewish people and could they also be the bones that are restored in Ezekiel 37? Draw conclusions only from the facts and let's ignite some Revelation into Ezekiel 37 and Revelation 7! (Read the entire chapter of Ezekiel 37).

(Ezekiel 37:7-14) So I prophesied as ordered; and while I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound; it was the bones coming together, each bone in its proper place. As I watched, ligaments grew on them, flesh appeared and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. Next he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath! Prophesy human being! Say to the breath that ADONAI ELOHIM says, 'Come from the four winds, breathe; and breathe on the slain, so that they can live.'"

So I prophesied as ordered, and the breath came into them, and they were alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army! Then he said to me, "Human being! These bones are the whole house of Israel; and they are saying, 'Our bones have dried up, our hope is gone, and we are completely cut off.' Therefore prophesy; say to them that ADONAI ELOHIM says, 'My people! I will open your graves and make you get up out of your graves, and I will bring you into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am ADONAI – when I have opened your graves and made you get up out of your graves, my people! I will put my Spirit in you; and you will be alive. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, ADONAI, have spoken, and that I have done it,' says ADONAI."

These verses from Ezekiel 37 stand alone as God raising some bones from the dead into a living army of Jewish people. Now read Revelation 7.

(Revelation 7:1-4) After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. I saw another Angel coming up from the East with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four Angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea, "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard how many were sealed – 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Israel: [verses 5-8 details the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes].

This section of Revelation 7 stands alone as four Angels standing at the four corners of the earth keeping wind from blowing and also they are told not to harm any of the earth. This makes no sense at all in its present state and absolutely makes no sense for our timeline. But if you substitute the parable meanings of some of the words, and, exchange some of the other words with their alternative (primary) definitions from the original Greek then the meanings of the verses and the entire paragraph takes shape which amazingly fits right where it belongs in our timeline and also agrees with Ezekiel 37.

You already know that the Four Angels are commanding the millions of other Angels also known as the four winds. The next word "wind" in the Greek literally means 'breath'. The word "blow" literally means 'to breathe'. The 'land' is Jerusalem, the 'sea' is nations and a 'tree' is a single person. Also this Greek word for "harm" does not mean specifically 'to hurt'. It literally means to act upon (morally socially or physically) judgment. Now, when man was created in Genesis 1, he was created in God's image, meaning, man's soul or spirit was created first because God is Spirit not flesh. But then in Genesis 2 God formed Adam's body from the dust of the earth and He blew the breath of life into that body, meaning, He put Adams soul or spirit into his body and the two parts became a living being. The word breath means spirit. So let's revise the paragraph with our new knowledge and definitions.

(Revelation 7:1-4 – revised and expanded) After this, I saw the Four Commanding Angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back the millions and millions of Guardian Angels of the earth, so that (they) would not allow any soul (or spirit) to enter by the Spirit (by resurrecting) into any body that is in Jerusalem, in the nations or any single person. I saw another Angel (Christ) coming up from the East with a Seal from the living God, and Christ shouted to the Four Commanding Angels who had been given power to (judge) socialize with and physically gather the people of Jerusalem and the people of other nations; (the Holy Jews and the Christian Gentiles or rather the Two Witnesses), "Do not socialize with or physically gather the people of Jerusalem or the people from the nations or any person until we have sealed the servants of our God, the 144,000, on their foreheads!" I heard how many were sealed – 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Israel: [verses 5-8 details the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes].

One must also take into account that Revelation 7:9 is referencing the people from the Third Resurrection standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb. And Revelation 7:9 is immediately after Revelation 7:1-8 above. This means that our newly revised verses fit perfectly on the timeline.

So now let us see if we can matchup Revelation 7:1-8 with Ezekiel 37 after you get a glimpse of how an actual resurrection occurs.

(Ezekiel 37:1-6) With the hand of ADONAI upon me, ADONAI carried me out by his spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones. He had me pass by all around them – there were so many bones lying in the Valley, and they were so dry! He asked me, "Human being, can these bones live?" I answered, "ADONAI ELOHIM! Only you know that!" Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones! Say to them, 'Dry bones! Hear what ADONAI has to say! To these bones ADONAI ELOHIM says, "I will make breath [your spirit] enter you, and you will live. I will attach ligaments to you, make flesh grow on you, cover you with skin and put breath [your spirit] in you. You will live, and you will know that I am ADONAI."'"

Now that is how God is going to resurrect the dead at the Third Resurrection and the Forth Resurrection and that's how He did it in the Second Resurrection and how The Spirit raised Christ from the dead also. Remember the soldiers ripped the flesh from Christ's bones to where Christ himself said that He could count His own bones. So His body was fully resurrected, His flesh was made anew. And for the living, that same resurrection power will heal the living on that wonderful day.

The souls under the altar who are the prime select chosen ones, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel a.k.a. the 144,000 chosen ones, will be raised at the Third Resurrection. They are sealed under the altar! – that was supposed to be a funny joke. But the altar does represent a special type of protection and favoritism. To be sealed in the original Greek implies to be kept secret and to be stamped for security and preservation purposes. This fits the dry bones having been raised to a huge army, an Army that will return with Christ and begin treading the winepress during God's Year of Redemption. And no harm at all will come to the 144,000 during this time with Christ.

The dry bones from Ezekiel 37 will be raised at the Third Resurrection (and may also have been raised at the Second Resurrection) when all of us hear a voice from heaven say "Come up here!" The resurrection power will resurrect the dead bodies first. Then the Angels who are escorting the spirit of each individual person will allow the breath or rather that spirit to enter into that spirits own body. 'Come from the four winds, breath' (Ezekiel 37:9) is the Angels escorting the spirits or souls of those who have died. Once the 'breath' or 'spirit' (blows) comes into the body then that person is physically alive again. These resurrected people will be taken up to the clouds to meet our Lord in the air. Then those who are alive in Christ will also be caught up to meet our Lord in the air to 'escape all the things' coming upon the earth on God's Day of Vengeance and the Year of Redemption.

When Christ and ADONAI have come in the clouds, and the Third Resurrection has taken place, Christ then sends out His Angels to gather the 144,000 chosen ones (Mark 13:27), these souls under the alter, from among the millions and millions of Angels (the four winds) and from the rest of the Third Resurrected. Christ made sure that His 144,000 chosen Jewish people that he kept "under the altar" were sealed because shortly after gathering this huge army (Ezekiel 37:10) He descends on Mount Zion and Jerusalem with them (Ezekiel 37:14) (Revelation 14:1-5) to begin preparations for His Millennial Reign.
CHAPTER 23 - SIXTH SEAL

Hidden underneath the Sixth Seal on the Scroll in ADONAI's hand was/is information needed to fully understand what Jesus told His disciples Matthew, Mark, and Luke about the End of the Age and the Signs of His Return (which was covered in MMLR). The great earthquake fulfilled the sun, moon and stars and the shaking, and gave us clues regarding the third resurrection along with information regarding the signs of Christ's return and when His return should occur. So to sum things up, on the 6000th year since Adam, man who was created on the Sixth day, will see Christ return as told in Isaiah 60 and Revelation 6:12 when the Sixth Seal was broken.

Keep in mind that the Scroll itself still has not been opened yet. That John is still 'reviewing' information found under the seals regarding what is going to happen in his time and some of what has happened (or will happen) in our time. But it is only after the scroll has been opened that John will be able to see all the details. It's like seeing a movie after you read the book before it hits the theater. Our job is to take all the evidence and sort it all out into its logical order of occurrence.

The Sixth Seal is also the key to this translation, the beginning of the 'decoding'. It provided the key verses to match up with MML and then Jeremiah 50 which provided the baseline and center point for our timeline of events. Then it opened up a new way of thinking regarding how to read the Word of God both in the Old Testament and New Testament.

Let's study onward.
CHAPTER 24 - REVELATION 7 AND THE 7TH SEAL

Revelation 7 gives us two visions. The first is the sealing and gathering of the 144,000 Jewish people of Israel after they were resurrected with everyone else at the Third Resurrection. In the second vision John sees the redeemed in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.

(Revelation 7: 9-17) After this, I looked; and there before me was a huge crowd, too large for anyone to count, from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands; and they shouted, "Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

All the Angels stood around the throne, the elders and the four living beings; they fell down before the throne and worshipped God, saying, "Amen!" "Praise and glory, wisdom and thanks, honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever!"

"Amen!"

One of the elders asked me, "These people dressed in white robes – who are they, and where are they from?" "Sir," I answered, "you know." Then he told me, "These are the people who have come out of the Great Persecution. They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before God's throne."

"Day and night they serve him in his temple; and the One who sits on the throne will put his Sh'khinah (glory) upon them."

"They will never again be hungry, they will never again be thirsty, the sun will not beat down on them, nor will any burning heat."

"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will shepherd them, will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

The ones in the white robes are the redeemed. They have come out of the great persecution, that is, the 6000 years of being persecuted by sin. They are standing before the Throne of God singing praises to Him for everything that He has done.

Verse 15

'Day and night they serve Him in His Temple' does not mean that those millions upon millions of people from the Third Resurrected will be serving Jesus with wine, veggie salads and snacks 24 hours a day. We are the Temple! And day and night we will serve God by doing His will just as we should be doing today. And this may also be when ADONAI puts His glorious **FIRE** on us, His Sh'khinah Glory.

Verse 17

'And God will wipe every tear from their eyes' can be figurative language for 'And God will erase sin from their eyes' because tears come from sadness, pain, guilt and hardship, and sin is the birth of all these horrible things. This fits a little better since what ADONAI and Christ have come down to do is free us from sin.

(Revelation 8:1) When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed like half an hour.

There is silence in heaven because no-one is there. ADONAI and YESHUA are coming down with the angels and all those souls (spirits) in heaven. The silence in heaven represents the beginning when all the Angels in heaven who were ordered (or will be ordered) to gather God's people around the globe to meet ADONAI and His Son in the air have left heaven. Also, the Accuser who accuses you night and day before the Throne of God has mysteriously fallen silent. Hmm, why is that? The answer is in Revelation 20.

Remember that from John's point of view (about 2000 years ago) none of this has occurred yet, that which is written inside and outside the scroll. Every seal that was broken opened up a vision to John and to him 2000 years ago all of this was going to be a future event. And the Seventh Seal not only opens up more visions but also opens up the scroll so that man can understand all of what is going to occur during the "last days". Think of the outside of the scroll with the seven seals as the contents of what is contained inside the scroll, a sort of highlight of the upcoming events. And opening the Seventh Seal brings greater details to the picture such as the silence. And more of these new details begin in Revelation 8:2 with the Seven Angels with the Seven Plagues.

Also, since Revelation 7:1-8 only references the sealing of the 144,000 chosen ones and Revelation 7:9-17 shows all of God's people resurrected at the Third Resurrection, then the sealing of the 144,000 comes before the Third Resurrection but remember they are gathered by Christ after the Third Resurrection. Again, they are sealed before the Third Resurrection and gathered together to Christ after the Third Resurrection. This agrees with every related verse in Revelation and in Matthew, Mark and Luke.

To be clear, when the Seventh Seal is opened it begins the series of events of our Lord's Day of Vengeance and His Year of Redemption. Opening the Seventh Seal is the beginning because it literally opens the scroll even though it was opened 2000 years ago. Remember our Lord created time and space and dimensions of time and space. He controls all things because He IS God. If He could not control these things He would not be God. Understand? He has created things just the way they are for you so that you may come to know Him under Grace and Love and Mercy and not be like those fallen Angels who knew God but chose poorly to follow Lucifer to his destruction. Again, God does not want robots. If you serve God because you think you have to then you do not know who God is. Man has told you that you must work hard in order to receive. But God says to take and freely receive what He is giving you as a gift, the gift of life and freedom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. This is a True God to Creation relationship! The God is the provider, the Creation receives. And that is how it was before sin. God didn't create man for slave labor, sin brought it. Sin lies and sin destroys. God provides, your 'job' is to receive God's provisions!

God owns it all! You cannot give Him what he already owns! You have nothing! What you can give God is the "one on one" relationship that HE paid for you to receive. So accept His free offer and be BLESSED!!!
CHAPTER 25 - THE DOUBLE PORTIONS

Always remember that there is not one insignificant word in the Word of God.

"Render to her as she rendered to others! Pay her back double for what she has done!

Use the cup in which she has brewed to brew her a double-sized drink!" (Revelation 18:6)

This isn't just something that was spoken by the wayside. In fact, it is another key for the Book of Revelation. It is a statement made concerning the whore of Babylon, Saudi Arabia, a reflection of what God has in store for her and a statement that makes the reader asks the question, "What is the second half of the Double Portion?"

Zechariah chapter 9 declares the return of Jerusalem's King with verse 10 proclaiming Christ's future rule during the millennial reign. Upon the day of Christ's return in the second half of verse 12 the Messiah tells Jerusalem "This day I declare to you that I will grant you double reparation". Meaning upon Christ's return, He is going to repay the whore of Babylon double.

Christ is slow in His anger and His patience is long-suffering especially with the Jewish people of the past. Man is quick to anger and he doesn't have much patience. And the Jews were the same way while they were waiting on their God to exact vengeance on their enemies. So the Lord told us this in Jeremiah 17:15-18 regarding his people.

They keep asking me, "Where is the word of ADONAI? Let it come now."

As for me, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you;

you know I didn't want this fatal day; what came from my lips has been clear to you.

So do not be my ruin, you, my refuge on the day of disaster.

Let my persecutors be ashamed, not me; let them be terrified, not me.

Bring on them the day of disaster, destroy them with double destruction.

God dreads the day that He has to send His creation to destruction. God also dreaded the day that He had to scatter His people, but with Grace and Mercy He brought them back to their own land. And God does not want to destroy His people for what they had done in the past but rather He wants to save them.

(Jeremiah 16:10-21) "When you tell this people {the Jews of that time} all that I have said, and they ask you,' why has ADONAI decreed all this terrible disaster against us? What is our iniquity, what is our sin, that we have committed against ADONAI our God?' Then you are to say to them, 'It is because your ancestors abandoned me, says ADONAI, and went after other gods, serving and worshiping them, but abandoned me and did not keep my Torah. And you have done worse than your ancestors did, for – look! – Each of you lives according to the stubbornness of his own evil heart, so that you don't listen to me. Therefore I am thrusting you out of this land into a land you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors; and there you will serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'"

"'Therefore,' says ADONAI, 'the day will come when people will no longer swear, "As ADONAI lives, who brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt," but, "As ADONAI lives, who brought the people of Israel out of the land to the north and out of all the countries where he drove them"; for I will bring them back to their own land, which I gave to their ancestors.

"' Look,' says ADONAI, 'I will send for my fishermen, and they will fish for them. Afterwards, I will send for my hunters; and they will hunt them from every mountain and hill and out of caves in the rocks. For I see all their ways; they are not hidden from me; their crimes are not concealed from my eyes. First, I will pay them back double for their crimes and sins; because they have defiled the land which is mine; they have filled my heritage with the corpses of their horrors and abominations.'"

ADONAI, my strength, my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, saying, "Our ancestors inherited nothing but lies, futile idols, completely useless."

Can a person make himself God's? (In fact they aren't gods at all.)

"Therefore, I will make them know, once and for all, I will make them know my power and my might. Then they would know that my name is ADONAI."

So, "once and for all" after the Jewish people were able to return to their own land, God in all of His Grace and Mercy will make them know His power and might. Some Jewish people still do not know Grace but when Christ and ADONAI return the Jewish people will be reconciled with their God.

God also repaid His own Jewish people back double for the things they had done, then He restored them to their own land. And when they return to their own land they were given this word from God.

(Isaiah 40:1-2) "Comfort and keep comforting my people," says your God.

"Tell Jerusalem to take heart; proclaimed to her that she has completed her time of service,

that her guilt has been paid off,

that she has received at the hand of ADONAI double for all her sins."

This verse was fulfilled during the six-day war of 1967. In 1948 Israel became a nation again but they did not have Jerusalem. But during the six-day war, Israel got back their city Jerusalem and then for some reason they divided it with three religions. However, soon God will return to Jerusalem and take back His city completely. And He will give the enemies of Jerusalem a double portion as well for what they have done. The first portion is the blowing of the shofars, the second, is the pouring out of the bowls of wrath. The Shofars and the Bowls go hand-in-hand. The first half of the 'double portion' is the cause, the second half of the double is the effect. So the double portion is cause and effect; Shofars and Bowls.

Another fact regarding Isaiah 40:1-2 is that Israel is not going to be exiled from their land again! There will be **No Future Exodus** for the nation of Israel. HER GUILT HAS BEEN PAID OFF! When Christ returns, it will be the enemy receiving the double portion. God's people will be enjoying their new status with the King of Kings and ADONAI, ruling and reigning from Jerusalem.
CHAPTER 26 - THE SEVEN ANGELS WITH THE SEVEN PLAGUES

Just before the First Shofar in Revelation 8 is blown and just before the First Bowl in Revelation 16 is poured there is a similar event occurring from Revelation 8 and Revelation 15.

(Revelation 8:1-5) When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed like half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven shofars. Another Angel came and stood at the altar with a gold incense bowl, and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all God's people on the gold altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of God's people from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the incense-bowl, filled it with fire from the altar and threw it down onto the earth; and there followed peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

When the Seventh Seal is opened it begins the procedures for the blowing of the shofars after half an hour of silence in heaven. And then we get the picture above of the activity where the Angels receive their shofars. Let's compare Revelation 8:1-5 with Revelation 15: 5-8.

(Revelation 15:5-8) After this I looked, and the sanctuary (that is, the Tent of Witness in heaven) was opened, and out of the sanctuary came the Seven Angels with the Seven Plagues. They were dressed in clean bright linen and had gold belts around their chests. One of the Four Living Beings gave to the Seven Angels Seven Golden Bowls filled with the Fury of God, who lives forever and ever. Then the sanctuary was filled with smoke from God's Sh'khinah, that is, from His power; and no one could enter the sanctuary until the Seven Plagues of the Seven Angels had accomplished their purpose.

In the linear translation of Revelation there are Seven Angels with Seven trumpets and Seven Angels with Seven Bowls. But the fact is that there are only Seven Angels with the Seven Plagues. Each shofar and bowl together is a plague and they not only match as far as cause-and-effect but each plague is delivered by only one Angel. So reassembling the two verses above regarding these Angels and putting them in a logical order gives us a more clear idea of what is happening just before the **First Plague** (1st Shofar and 1st Bowl) is released by the First Angel.

(Revelation 8:1-5 & Revelation 15:5-8)- **Overlapped and Reassembled** :

When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed like half an hour. After this I looked, and the sanctuary (that is, the Tent of Witness in Heaven) was opened, And I saw the seven Angels who stand before God, and they were given Seven Shofars, and out of the sanctuary came the Seven Angels with the Seven Plagues. They were dressed in clean bright linen and had gold belts around their chests. Another Angel came and stood at the altar with a gold incense bowl, and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all God's people on the golden altar in front of the throne. One of the four living beings gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the fury of God, who lives forever and ever. The smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of God's people from the hand of the angel before God. Then the sanctuary was filled with smoke from God's Sh'khinah, that is, from His power; and no one could enter the sanctuary until the Seven Plagues of the Seven Angels had accomplished their purpose. Then the angel took the incense bowl, filled it with fire from the altar and threw it down to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Yes, 'Nine' versus consisting of 'Nine' sentences declaring 'wrath upon wrath' or rather a double portion of God's fury. [9 equals wrath].

The Seven Angels are first given the Seven Shofars. These Shofars are plagues. They are given the Shofars while they are in the Tent of Witness in Heaven but after they come out then they are given the Seven Golden Bowls filled with the Fury of God by one of the Four Living Beings. And there is an eighth Angel (possibly Christ) standing by the altar with a gold incense bowl. The altar holds the prayers of all of God's people and this Angel takes those prayers and adds incense with them for God to uphold. Then the angel takes his incense bowl fills it with fire from the altar (representing the immediate fiery fury of God's wrath on the whore of Bavel), And throws it down to earth which begins the shofar's and bowl's "one-two punch" -- The Double Portion!

And what follows is the nuclear strike on Saudi Arabia. The peals of thunder (detonations), the voices (people crying out), the flashes of lightning (again detonations) and our 'earthquake' are all part of this nuclear attack.
CHAPTER 27-CAUSE AND EFFECT

What has been pointed out over and over is that the book of Revelation is a puzzle. And to solve the puzzle you must find the keywords, the ideas and the flow of the timeline. Again God is going to destroy the whore of Babylon with a double portion. This double portion is the shofars and the bowls, for Babylon is immediately appointed the first four double portions meaning the first four shofars and the first four bowls.

Examining the first shofar and the first bowl provides us with the evidence we need.

_First Shofar and Bowl – 27a_

Cause – (Revelation 8:6-7) Now the seven angels with the seven shofars prepared to sound them. The first one sounded his shofar; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was thrown down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Effect – (Revelation 16:1-2) I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary say to the seven angels, "Go, and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God's fury!"

So the first one went and poured out his bowl onto the earth, and disgusting and painful sores appeared on all the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

Revelation 8 is the cause and Revelation 16 is the effect. Revelation 8: 1-4 is the atomic attack on Saudi Arabia while Revelation 16: 1-2 is the nuclear fallout, that is, what will happen to the people that survive the barrage and are then exposed to the radiation from the nuclear attack. Radiation burns its victims causing blisters and boils on the skin and eventually may lead to death.

The Greek word for earth used here is 'ghay' which can also mean region, country, ground, land, soil or world. Scripture interprets Scripture. The book of Revelation is 99% Middle East.

_Second Shofar and Bowl – 27b_

Cause – (Revelation 8:8) The second Angel sounded his shofar, and what looked like in an enormous blazing mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Effect – (Revelation 16:3) The second one poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

The depth of this verse is even greater. Plus there is a double meaning for this event. We know that in a single hour, yes, in a single day, Saudi Arabia is destroyed. Yes, during the nuclear barrage, an atomic blast destroys the protective Navy fleet of Saudi Arabia. Do you know what fleet protects Saudi Arabia? But the verse is telling us more. A mountain in Scriptures is considered a great and powerful nation hence the enormous blazing mountain is Saudi Arabia. It has been totally destroyed and its oil is burning out to sea. As with any major oil spill, this will start a red tide. And the oil and the red tide will kill everything in the ocean as it did the spill in the Gulf of Mexico. So immediately a third of the Middle East Sea is destroyed along with the sea life and the ships. But as time goes by every living thing in that sea dies, because at the end of the book of Revelation, there is no more sea.

But another possibility exists. The word 'sea' is also used to reference the nations. So it's very possible that the 'blazing mountain cast into the sea' is another way of saying that Saudi Arabia has been handed over to the beast or the nations of Islam. And at the end of the book of Revelation when it says there is 'no more sea' can equally be referencing the fact that there are no longer any other nations because the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is ruling His nation meaning the entire world.

_Third Shofar and Bowl – 27c_

Cause – (Revelation 8:10-11) The third angel sounded his shofar; and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and onto the Springs of water. The name of the star was "Bitterness" [poison], and a third of the water became bitter, and many people died from the water that had been turned bitter [poisonous].

Effect – (Revelation 16:4-7) The third one poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood. Then I heard the angel of the waters say,

"Oh HaKadosh, the One who is and was, you are just in these judgments of yours.

They poured out the blood of your people and your prophets, so you have made them drink blood. They deserve it!"

Then I heard the altar say, "Yes, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, your judgments are true and just!"

Everyone seems to have asteroids on the brain when they read this verse. This is not a meteorite coming down to earth to bring Armageddon and Bruce Willis isn't going to save nobody. You must imagine what John was trying to describe by using the surrounding events of the attack on Saudi Arabia. Nuclear ICBMs have just been launched. Now it's time for a biological ICBM sized rocket to be launched. The 'torch' that John saw falling from the sky is actually an ICBM sized missile with a biological warhead falling from the sky. It is on its way down, to hit the earth. It is pointing down, with flames shooting out the back of its engines resembling a great torch. This is why John called it a great star, because it was the biggest torch (star) from heaven that he had ever seen.

Again the fact is that everything dies in the waters and a red tide is present. Walid Shoebat provided an article about Isis leaving a town followed by resistance fighters who entered the town behind them. When the resistant fighters drank the water supply, those that drank it, died. The survivors who did not drink the water watched as their fellow soldiers died quickly and their insides turned to jelly. The Middle East does have biological weapons and from their track record they never hesitate to use them.

_Fourth Shofar and Bowl – 27d_

Cause – (Revelation 8:12) The fourth Angel sounded his shofar; and a third of the sun was struck, also a third of the moon and a third of the stars; so that a third of them were darkened, the day had a third less light, and the night likewise.

This is a natural event after an atomic detonation's especially one of this magnitude. The atmosphere is in chaos with debris and radiation which will result in blocking out a third of the sun's light, the moon and the stars.

Effect – (Revelation 16:8-9) The fourth one poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to burn people with fire. (9) People were burned by the intense heat; yet they cursed the name of God, who had the authority over these plagues, instead of turning from their sins to give him glory.

Again, the atmosphere has been damaged. The ozone layer has been displaced and the radiation is spreading everywhere. What sunlight that does come through, burns the people along with the horrific radiation.

But this is not the sad part. Having survived and endured this horrific atomic holocaust in the Middle East, the survivors are given the honor of seeing a great Lone Eagle fly through the heavens declaring the return of the Messiah. Yet, they cursed God because of their situation instead of looking towards the Creator who created the sand they sit on, who created the air they breathe, who created the flesh that clings to their bones, who created their soul that dwells within the body that He gave them, who controls all the elements of the periodic table and who loves them with insurmountable love. This Lone Eagle interrupts the seven angel's plagues while they are blowing their shofars and interrupts them between the 4th and 5th Angel's. This interruption is very important.

**D27a – Plagues in the Day of Vengeance**

CHAPTER 28 - THE 3 WOE'S – ANNOUNCEMENTS (REVELATIONS 14)

The word "woe", by definition, is simply "an announcement". In between the Fourth Shofar and the Fifth Shofar of Revelation we find a Lone Eagle giving a loud cry or announcement.

(Revelations 8:13) Then I looked, and I heard a Lone Eagle give a loud cry, as it flew in mid-heaven, "Woe! Woe! Woe to the people living on the earth, because of the remaining blasts from the three angels who have yet to sound their shofars!"

Revelation 8:13 summed up is a Lone Eagle flying through mid-heaven giving three important announcements. What could confuse someone is seeing the first woe pass in Revelation 9:12 and the second woe pass in Revelation 11:14. In a linear translation this is acceptable but not understood. One cannot express the importance of a single verse in God's Holy Word. This just means that the first announcement is completed or fulfilled sometime before the events when the Sixth Shofar begins. And the second announcement is fulfilled and completed sometime before the events taking place at the Seventh Shofar. However, all three announcements begin at the same time.

Now a single 'Lone' Eagle is giving three announcements. First, as defined in Revelation 4, it is known that this Lone Eagle is one of the four groups of angels that surround the Throne of God, specifically the "Eagle Group". So the key is to find three angels giving the three announcements.

The 14th chapter of Revelation's has three angels, each giving an announcement. These three Angels belong to the group of "Eagle" Angels. The Angel's three announcements follow just after the Lamb when He is standing on Mount Tziyon (Zion). Following the three announcements are important events that take place afterwards. So when you understand the placement in our timeline of events for the three woes and add in Revelation 14, a clearer picture of the last day emerges.

(Revelations 14:1-5) Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Tziyon (Zion), and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing waters and like the sound of pealing thunder; the sound I heard was also like that of a harpist playing on their harps. They were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living beings and the elders, and no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who have been ransomed from the world. These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they have been ransomed from among humanity as firstfruits for God and the Lamb; on their lips no lie was found – they are without defect.

As we know from Revelation 8:13, the 3 Woes take place after the Fourth Angel sounded his shofar and before the Fifth Angel sounded his shofar (during the **Feast of Shofars/Trumpets** ). So now we know as a fact that Christ puts his feet down on Mount Zion after the first four shofars. Meaning, after Saudi Arabia is turned into a lake of fire our Lord and Savior returns with His 144,000 selected Jewish people. This also begins the next Feast known as the **Day of Atonement** when our Lord shows himself to the non-messianic Jews of that day proving to them that He Is their Lord and Savior. And immediately following this Day of Atonement Feast is the **Feast of Tabernacles** where our Lord sets up camp in Jerusalem where He will soon begin His 1000 year reign and afterward He will finish His Year of Redemption (the fifth and sixth shofars).

(Revelations 14:6) Next I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven with everlasting Good News to proclaim to those living on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language and people.

The reason the verse says "another Angel" is because the first Angel was the Lone Eagle Angel of Revelation 8:13, he belongs to one of the Living Being groups that surround the Throne of God, the "Eagle Group". Again the Lone Eagle Angel gives three 'woes' to the inhabitants of the earth, that is, he assigns (commands) the three announcements to be given to the inhabitants of the earth that are fulfilled by the next three ranking 'Eagle group' of Angels in Revelation 14 after Christ is seen on Mount Zion. This is simply the mercy and love of God. He sends an angel to tell all the inhabitants of the earth that He is here on the earth; in physical form. He can be touched; He can be hugged; He can be seen; He can be loved; that you can go to Him and fall before Him and receive an eternity of love.

**D28a – Revelation 14's Timeline**

_First Announcement – 28a_

(Revelations 14:7) In a loud voice he said,

"Fear God, give him glory,

for the hour has come when he will pass judgment!

Worship the One who made heaven and earth,

the sea and the springs of water!"

The interesting part of Revelation being written in a past tense form is that it helps give the reader room to understand the placement in time of each event. The three announcements coincide with the surrounding events. In the verse above, God has passed one judgment already and there are more to come. And the Angel declares to everyone that God's judgment is upon all (that is, all those left behind), and for all to worship the one true God, meaning also to turn away from any other 'gods'.

_Second Announcement – 28b_

(Revelations 14:8) Another angel, a second one, followed, saying,

"She has fallen! She has fallen!

Bavel the Great!"

"She made all the nations drink of the wine

of God's fury caused by her whoring!"

This announcement by the second angel is true on our timeline. The first four Shofars and Bowls are the destruction of Babylon which we defined as Saudi Arabia. How did Saudi Arabia 'make' nations drink the wine of God's fury? By tempting such leaders into betraying God's interests with man's interest and by selling out Jerusalem and Christianity for money and prostitution are primary reasons. But the whore's destruction from Jeremiah 50 continues all the way through until this "woe" has passed or is completed at the Seventh Shofar.

(Revelation 18:14) The fruits you lusted for with all your heart have gone! All the luxury and flashiness have been destroyed, never to return!

_Third Announcement – 28c_

(Revelation 14:9-11) Another angel, a third one, followed them and said in a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives the mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will indeed drink the wine of God's fury poured undiluted into the cup of his rage. He will be tormented by fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb, and the smoke from their tormenting goes up forever and ever. They have no rest, day or night, those who worship the beast and its image and those who receive the mark of its name."

Now an angel just told the people on earth to fear God whom will pass judgment and the judgment is more defined in the third announcement. After this announcement the people must accept God's Grace and turn away from the religion of the Beast (every religion that opposes God). This is a pivotal point for the people left on earth at this time. They are given the opportunity to turn to God and not suffer the fate of others who have followed the Beast. These people are given an opportunity to accept Christ's offer of Grace, Mercy and Love, and to follow the one True and Holy God. The alternative is to follow the Adversary's religion to a worthless and useless end. It is the Adversary's goal to destroy as many humans as he possibly can through his deceptive skills. The Adversary has no love for you, he doesn't care about you; he hates you with every part of his being and will lie to you and tell you anything that you can possibly believe only to bring you to your destruction. And this third woe has eternal consequences.

(Revelation 14:12) This is when perseverance is needed on the part of God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise YESHUA's faithfulness.

If you have ever had the opportunity to experience a cultic church or some other religion that does not follow the Grace of God, you probably understand the demonic control that they try to have over you. Perseverance is needed to continue on the path that God has for you, especially when you find yourself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Where evil oppresses you and tries to turn you away from God using fear, intimidation, temptation, or simply by perverting God's Holy Word. So these people must observe the commands of God at this point in time, literally, and exercise their faith and belief in the one true Messiah during His Millennial Reign and Year of Redemption. And for those that continue to persevere during that time, God tells them this:

(Revelation 14:13) Next I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: 'How blessed are the dead who die united with the Lord, from now on!' 'Yes', says the Spirit, 'now they may rest from their efforts, for the things they have accomplished follow along with them.'"

Feast of Lights/Dedication

The next Jewish feast after the Feast of Tabernacles is the Feast of Lights also known as Hanukkah/Chanukah. It is a feast dedicated to those Jews that persevered through all the hardships their people had to endure while they kept their 'light' on for Christ. If we know Christ the way we do, and God, how He keeps His feasts,

Leviticus 23:1-2 ADONAI said to Moshe {Moses}, "Tell the people of Israel: 'the designated times of ADONAI which you are to proclaim as holy convocations [the feasts] are my designated times.'"

Leviticus 23:4 "These are the designated times of ADONAI, the holy complications [feasts] you are to proclaim at their designated times."

...then it is safe to assume that the Feast of Lights/Dedication is the official start of Christ's Millennial Reign. However, after the 1000 years the Fifth Shofar is blown on the Feast of Lights/Dedication. This is because the Feast of Lights is all about perseverance. And for one to persevere there has to be some type of persecution. And persecution for the people on earth begins at the Fifth Shofar when the Adversary after having been released, releases his 'locusts'.

(Revelation 13:9-10) Those who have ears, let them hear! "If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he is to be killed!" This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!

This is another verse of perseverance that is located with Revelation 14:12 on the Feast of Lights. The new believers in Christ that missed the Third Resurrection are the holy people that are referenced in this verse. They came to believe in Christ after His physical appearance. Therefore, these people must persevere and trust in God's promise of redemption during His reign and Year of Redemption.

(Revelations 14:14-16) Then I looked, and there before me was a cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone like a Son of Man with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Another angel came out of the temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, "Start using your sickle to reap, because the time to reap has come – the earth's harvest is ripe!" The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

This parable references Christ in Jerusalem when an Angel comes out of the temple (the tent of witness) and tells Christ that it is time to begin reaping the harvest. The **Feast of Passover** will be the time when Christ meets Asher in Egypt, and Botzrah and Edom; a time when God will begin to deliver His people from those nations who are against Him.

(Revelation 14:17-20) Another angel came out of the Temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Then out from the altar went yet another angel, who is in charge of the fire; and he called in a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because they are ripe!" The angel swung his sickle down into the earth, gathered the earth's grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's fury. The winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress as high as the horses' bridles for 200 miles!

This is a separate harvesting event from the first one in verses 14 through 16. In verses 14 through 16 the Son of Man (Christ) is told to begin harvesting, then in verses 17 to 20, the angel in charge of the fire (Christ) tells another Angel with a sharp sickle to gather the grapes and throw them into the great winepress. So at a determined time Christ begins the harvest which is one event. Then at a second event the earth's grapes are gathered for the winepress. The second event is the destruction of all the grapes! The winepress is trodden outside the city of Jerusalem, and the blood will flow high and far. This is the battle at Har Megiddo.

Including Christ who has also been referred to in the Old Testament as simply 'an angel', there are total of four angels in this Scripture. This is relevant to Revelation 9:15.

(Revelation 9:15) 'And they were released. These four angels had been kept ready for this moment, for this day and month and the year, to kill a third of mankind;'

Now this relativity backs up a theory. We know that the four living beings are four ranks of millions of Angels, also known as the four winds. But the highest rank of each of these four ranks, the generals, may also be referenced as the "four angels" in Revelation 9:15. So it's safe to assume that in the very last days that the events from the Sixth Shofar and the Angels (with the fire) reaping the harvest are one and the same.

When the sixth angel sounds his shofar, these four angels who are stationed at the great river Euphrates are released and their objective will be to kill one third of mankind. Now angels that have a station here on earth also dwell with Christ in heaven. Your own guardian angel reports to the Most High God concerning you. So don't think of the word "bound" as being that the angels are made captive at the river Euphrates until they are set free but rather that that area of the Euphrates is where they are assigned at that particular time. Or rather, the angels are assigned (bound) to be at the Euphrates at that time waiting on orders (to be loosed).

The timing of this event is the Sixth Shofar/Bowl. This is when all the deceived kings of the earth gather to the place which in Hebrew is called Har Megiddo, in some kind of futile attempt to destroy Christ and His kingdom not realizing that they are gathered there to be harvested and to be thrown into the great winepress of God's fury. They're trying to destroy the very One who created the air they breathe, who created the lungs they use to breathe with, who created every single atom and molecule that forms their body. Again I ask, what kind of deception does the Adversary have for these people to make them follow such a lie? Or is it something else? Paul has already told us.

(Second Thessalonians 2:9-12) When this man [the False Prophet] who avoids Torah (God's Word) comes, the Adversary will give him the power to work all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders. He will enable him to deceive, in all kinds of wicked ways, those who are headed for destruction because they would not receive the love of the truth that could have saved them. This is why God is causing them to go astray, so that they will believe the Lie. The result will be that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken their pleasure in wickedness, will be condemned.

This is so relevant today as it has been throughout time. Many people who hear of the God of the Jews and some that even have the privilege to read God's Word still decide that they are going to not receive the Truth! The Truth that Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ our Lord was sent to save us from man's sin of rejecting God's Word in the Garden NOT to touch that fruit of knowledge. And Christ paid that price and saved ALL of man – every man, and brought back man to God and gave us our "one on one" relationship with our Creator that we lost 6000 years ago. And these "refuse-gee's" (not refugees) that are so stubborn and hard headed will receive what their ignorance paid for; Eternal damnation.

The bottom line to the entire universe and every living thing is, "Where did it all start?" Even with the emptiness of space there had to be a beginning. Nothing is anything until something makes it something. This leads to the question, "Who made God?" With all gods from nations and ideas there is a beginning but with the one true God of Israel there is not a beginning. If there was a creation of God then that god would not be God. This makes God, God. God created time and space, planets and stars, angels and humans. He created us and He loves us and this is the TRUTH that will save everyone if they would just believe in Him.
CHAPTER 29 - REVELATION 20

Decoding a chapter is more easily done if it is first put in an event format.

Read Revelation 20. This is highlights of Revelation 20's format by verse:

The Adversary is chained up for the 1000 years.

The 1000 years of Christ's reign begins.

Souls come (came – past tense) to life, and they rule with the Messiah for 1000 years – this is the First (Prior) Resurrection.

The Adversary is set free. The 1000 years are over.

The rest of the dead come to life.

The Adversary deceives Gog and Magog and gathers a countless number of them for battle.

God's camp is surrounded.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes the enemy.

The Adversary is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

The Great White Throne is seen and the One who is sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled.

The dead are seen in front of the throne and are judged.

Death and hell are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 20:1-3 Next I saw an angel coming down from heaven, who had the key to the Abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan [the Adversary], and chained him up for 1000 years. He threw him into the Abyss, locked it and sealed it over him; so that he could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were over. After that, he has to be set free for a little while.

Revelation 20:4-6 Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them received authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for testifying about YESHUA and proclaiming the Word of God, also those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the Mark on their foreheads and on their hands. They came to life and ruled with the Messiah for 1000 years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is anyone who has a part in the first resurrection; over him the second death has no power. On the contrary, they will be cohanim (high priests) of God and of the Messiah, and they will rule with him for the thousand years.

In Revelation 20 the word ' **first** ' resurrection does not mean that it is the first resurrection at all. The word 'first' comes from the Greek word **protos** meaning prior or foremost resurrection; the Prior Resurrection. This is the prior resurrection, but prior to what?

If those from the prior resurrection rules and reigns with Christ for the 1000 years then they come to life prior to the 1000 year millennial reign of Christ AND they come to life about the same time as the Adversary is locked up for those thousand years of Christ's Reign.

The bottom line is that the people resurrected at the Prior Resurrection before the 1000 year millennial reign of Christ are the same people from the Third Resurrection – **the Third Resurrection** IS **the Prior Resurrection**!

A keynote regarding the people raised at the Third Resurrection comes from Revelation 20:4 which also sum up the entire population of the Third Resurrection. They did not worship the beast or its image and they did not receive the mark on their foreheads or on their hands. But a more important keynote is the souls that had been beheaded for testifying about YESHUA and proclaiming the Word of God! As we inch closer to the last days in this world of religions there is only one religion that stands apart that primarily beheads Jews and Christians, and that religion is Islam!

Revelation 20:5 (And the rest of the dead come to life after the 1000 years are over). This is the first resurrection.

This remainder of people that verse 5 [grace] is referencing is the remainder of God's people that will be resurrected at the Seventh Shofar. [This is another completion (7) of grace (5).] They are not the dead to be judged at the final judgment after the battle with Gog and Magog; those destined for the Lake of Fire that are seen standing in front of God's Throne. They are the people that died that had decided to serve and trust in Christ during His 1000 year reign and who will be resurrected at the Seventh Shofar. And those resurrected at the Seventh Shofar along with those from the Third Resurrection will be changed only at the 7th Shofar into their immortal form. This is when God gives all his people the Good News that He promised them; to have everlasting life! And this is achieved by giving all of His people their new immortal bodies.

Revelation 20:5 is also a primary example of what happens when someone studies one verse without examining the entire paragraph. As it stands alone it does sound like that the 'first' resurrection comes after the thousand years are over. Many Bibles are in verse by verse format rather than being in paragraph form which is why studying this interpretation with a verse by verse Bible may be very difficult. This is another reason why the author chose Scripture from the Complete Jewish Bible translated by David H Stern for this book.

Reorganizing chapter 20's events into a timeline format, events that happen from beginning to end, gives us Revelation 20's format by timeline events:

Timeline Format of Revelation 20

The Adversary is chained up for the one thousand year Reign of Christ.

The Prior (Third) Resurrection takes place. Souls come to life to rule on thrones with the Messiah for 1000 years.

The 1000 years of Christ's Reign begins.

The 1000 years are over. The Adversary is released.

The Adversary deceives Gog and Magog and gathers a countless number for battle.

The rest of the dead holy people come to life (the Seventh Shofar) sometime after the 1000 years are over.

God's camp is surrounded.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes the enemy.

The Adversary is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

The Great White Throne is seen and the One who is sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled.

The dead (unholy) are seen in front of the throne and are judged.

Death and hell are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

So before the 1000 year reign the Adversary is bound up and the Third Resurrection takes place, (remember the silence in heaven). Thrones are set up for those who haven't worshipped the Adversary's religion but worshipped God and they rule and reign with YESHUA for 1000 years.

Now, the reader understands that a Day to God is 1000 years to man, and 1000 years are as one day. So in order to make sense of chapters 20 with our timeline is to accept that within God's Year of Redemption is the 1000 year 'millennial' reign of Christ. Besides, this is the only way that the 'decoding' allows.

The Day of Vengeance is the destruction of the whore but the **parabolic** meaning of the Day of Vengeance is the Millennial Reign of Christ and it is stationed in the Year of Redemption.

God's Millennial Reign is to reward the holy people, to save those who missed the Third Resurrection whom now know they made a mistake and want to know Him, and to rule with a Staff of Iron only those people that totally refuse the Creator; those who have hardened their hearts to God and believed the Adversary's lies. This is months of decoding made easy for you the reader.

Previous teachings believed the events fell in a different order, but by using the 'decoding' process God shows us keywords and matching events that gives His people the truest timeline of the 'last days'.

However Old and New Testaments must agree thereby the Day of Vengeance and the Year of Redemption spoken by Jeremiah and the 'decoding' process equals out as God's Year of Redemption beginning on the Feast of Trumpets when Satan is locked up and the Two Witnesses are raised to redemption and then the whore is destroyed.

Now, just as when a president is elected months before his actual term begins, so it is when Christ returns. After God's intentions are made clear with the destruction of the whore, He then institutes His right to the throne on the Day of Atonement. Christ then appoints those whom he sees fit to govern (rule and reign) with Him while he sets up camp on the Feast of Tabernacles. Then on the next feast the Feast of Lights also called the Feast of Dedication, Christ will be called King of the nations and begin His Millennial Reign. The Feast of Lights is a proper feast to begin His Kingdom of Light! His kingdom will literally be a kingdom of light both day and night! A beacon for those desiring to Come and know their Creator!

And God's Adversary will have been locked up prior to (before) Christ's Millennial Reign because a ruler cannot and will not have his adversary there contradicting his every move. Again, this is why the Adversary is in prison! It makes sense too for these things to be in this order to usher in God's kingdom of Grace, Mercy, Love, and Prosperity for His subjects! Amen!

Revelation 20:7-10 When the thousand years are over, the Adversary will be set free from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for the battle. Their number is countless as the sand on the seashore; and they came up over the breath of the land and surrounded the camp of God's people and the city He loves. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them. The Adversary who had deceived them was hurled into the Lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

After the Millennial Reign the Adversary is released and his first appearance is described with the Fifth Shofar persecuting those that follow him. He also releases the three unclean spirits to deceive nations and turn them against God.

Now another important word from the Greek is 'murias'. It's defined as an indefinable number and used in Revelation 9:16 to describe only the indefinite number of Calvary soldiers coming against Jerusalem (it's not 200 Million) and along with Revelation 16:16 they gather at Har Megiddo for battle. This indefinable number matches Revelation 20:8's 'their number is countless as the sand on the seashore;' verse. So the bottom line again is that there is only one major battle coming against Jerusalem and it is after Christ's millennial reign.

The Fire of Revelation 20:9 that comes down and consumes the enemy coming against God's camp is the same 'fire' from Revelation 15:2 Whom God places His Sh'khinah (Glory, Power) 'fire' upon in Revelation 7:15 (Pentecost) And who return on white horses following Christ on His horse in Revelation 19:14. When Christ descends for battle on that dreadful day the armies of heaven ' **The Fire** ' (that's us) is coming with him. Christ will shout orders to His army and we will do what He says and consume the enemy! And the beast, that countless army, and the false prophet will be captured alive and then thrown into the lake of fire. Then, by way of the decoding process, the Adversary will be thrown into the lake of fire afterwards.

Revelation 20:11-15 Next I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done. The sea gave up the dead in it; and Death and Sh'ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done. Then Death and Sh'ol were hurled into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death – the Lake of Fire. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the Lake of fire.

The Great White Throne is seen and afterwards the creation will flee revealing those unholy souls to be judged when the 7th Bowl is poured; those that refused His Grace, Love and Mercy.

Now let's view Revelation 20's new event timeline format with some add- ins:

The Year of Redemption Begins

The Adversary is chained up for the one thousand year Reign of Christ.

The Prior (Third) Resurrection takes place. Souls come to life to rule with the Messiah for 1000 years.

The Day (a single day) of Vengeance Begins

Kasdim's destruction begins with Shofar and Bowl's 1-4

The 1000 years of Christ's Reign begins on the Feast of Lights.

Then 1000 years later, on the Feast of Lights, the Adversary (the Angel of Light) is released.

The Adversary deceives Gog and Magog and gathers a countless number for battle.

The rest of the dead holy people come to life (Seventh Shofar) sometime after the 1000 years are over.

God's camp is surrounded.

Fire comes down from heaven and consumes the enemy.

The Adversary is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

The Great White Throne is seen and the One who is sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled.

The dead are seen in front of the throne and are judged.

Death and hell are thrown into the Lake of Fire.

**D29a – Diagram of Revelation Overall – 2017 example only!**

CHAPTER 30 - THE RETURN OF OUR LORD

Feast of Trumpets/Rosh HaShanah

Our Lord and Heaven has prepared for this day. At the beginning of God's Year of Redemption, on or during the Feast of Trumpets a command will go forth and with a rousing cry all of the occupants of heaven will leave and come to earth (hence the silence in heaven for about half an hour). Christ will call out for the sealing of His 144,000 Chosen Jewish people. Then all the Angels each accompanied with their person (each individual person's spirit) will stand ready on earth for God's Shofar when the Spirit of God will resurrect the physical bodies of all of Gods people. And God's Shofar will signify the "breath" to 'blow' into their resurrected bodies that is the spirit (or soul) of each person will enter into that person's renewed but not immortalized resurrected body. Then the resurrected, both those that have died and those that are still alive in Christ, will be carried up by the Angels together to meet ADONAI and Christ our King in the air. At this time the world including the Iranians will see the redeemed being taken up to the clouds to meet their Lord in the air. Iran will see the Christians they imprisoned being delivered, restored, and then gathered by Angels and taken to heaven while they watch to meet their Lord in the air. This event may contribute to the reason why the Iranians immediately launch nuclear missiles on to Saudi Arabia because within an hour after the Third Resurrection, Saudi Arabia is annihilated beginning God's Day of Vengeance.

Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur

Next, Christ gathers His 144,000 Chosen, resurrected, Jewish people from the 'four winds', (the millions and millions of Angels). And on the next feast known as the Day of Atonement Christ descends on Mount Zion (Revelation 14) with the 144,000 Chosen. The Jews in Jerusalem that did not believe Jesus was the one true Messiah that had witnessed Christians both Jew and Gentile being taken up into heaven, mourn for their King because they saw their fellow Jew that believed Jesus is the Christ being taken up; then they believed. So when He returns days later on the Day of Atonement with His 144,000 Chosen Jews, Christ will show himself to those 'new believer' Jews proving to them, and establishing by His Righteousness, that HE IS the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Some of His thoughts for Jerusalem during His 1000 year Reign and His Year of Redemption are in the book of Isaiah.

(Isaiah 30:18-26) Yet ADONAI is just waiting to show you favor, he will have pity on you from on high; for ADONAI is a God of justice; happy are all who wait for him!

People in Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. At the sound of your cry, he will show you his grace; on hearing it, he will answer you.

Though ADONAI may give you but bread and water, and not very much of that; your teacher will no longer hide himself, but with your own eyes you will see your teacher.

With your ears you will hear a word from behind you: "This is the way; stay on it, whether you go to the right or to the left."

You will treat as unclean your silver-covered idols and your cast metal images plated with gold; you will throw them away, like menstrual cloths; he will say to them, "Get out of here!"

Then he will give you rain for the seed you use to sow your land; and the food that comes from the ground will be rich and abundant. When that day comes, your cattle will graze in spacious pastures.

The oxen and donkeys that work the land will eat a tasty mixture, winnowed free of chaff, spread by pitchfork and shovel.

On every high mountain and lofty hill will be streams and flowing brooks, on a day of great slaughter, when the towers fall [Saudi Arabia].

Moreover, the light of the moon will be as bright as the light of the sun; and the light of the sun will be seven times stronger, like the light of seven days [in 1], on the day ADONAI binds up the wounds of his people and heals the bruise caused by the blow.

God is waiting to show His people favor as long as they throw away their idols and listen to His words. Their animals will eat weed free grass grown in the deserts from the new rain that ADONAI has brought. He will form new rivers and streams after Saudi Arabia is destroyed. His glory will be seven times stronger than the sun is bright. And He will send His arm [Christ] against many nations in battle as musicians sing praises to Him.

(Isaiah 52:7-10) How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, proclaiming shalom, bringing good news of good things, announcing salvation and saying to Zion, "Your God is King!"

Listen! Your watchmen are raising their voices, shouting for joy together. For they will see, before their own eyes, ADONAI returning to Zion.

Break out into joy! Sing together, you ruins of Jerusalem! For ADONAI has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem!

ADONAI has bared his holy arm [Jesus Christ] in the sight of every nation, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot

Days after Christ shows himself to His people in Jerusalem and on the following feast, the Feast of Tabernacles, the King of Kings and His people set up Tabernacles or tents throughout the region of Jerusalem [Isaiah 54]. And the doors are open.

(Isaiah 55:1-13) "All you who are thirsty, come to the water! You without money, come, buy, and eat! Yes, come! Buy wine and milk without money – it's free!

Why spend money for what isn't food, your wages for what doesn't satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and you will eat well, you will enjoy the fat of the land.

Open your ears, and come to me; listen well, and you will live – I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the grace I assured David.

I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a leader and lawgiver for the People's.

You will summon a nation you do not know, and a nation that doesn't know you will run to you, for the sake of ADONAI your God, the Holy One of Israel, who will glorify you."

Seek ADONAI while he is available, call on him while he is still nearby.

Let the wicked person abandon his way and evil person his thoughts; let him return to ADONAI, and he will have mercy on him; let him return to our God, for he will freely forgive.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says ADONAI.

"As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For just as rain and snow fall from the sky and do not return there, but water the earth, causing it to bud and produce, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

so is my word that goes out from my mouth – it will not return to me unfulfilled; but it will accomplish what I intend, and cause to succeed what I sent it to do."

Yes, you will go out with joy, you'll be led forth in peace. As you come, the mountains and hills will burst out into song, and all the trees in the countryside will clap their hands.

Cypresses will grow in place of thorns, myrtles will grow instead of briars. This will bring fame to ADONAI as an eternal, imperishable sign.

Isaiah 55 [grace, grace] is the Love, Grace and Mercy of our Lord and God to all the people left on earth. This is ADONAI's open invitation to anyone who wishes to freely receive God's abundance and supply. All they have to do is come to Him and keep His commands. No other ruler on earth can offer what He offers. No other ruler on earth can give what He is giving. This IS what happens when Christ returns; Grace, Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Eternal Blessings and Free Food! It will not be global Armageddon.

(Isaiah 60:1-7) "Arise, shine [Jerusalem], for your light has come, the glory of ADONAI has risen over you.

For although darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples; on you ADONAI will rise; over you will be seen his glory.

Nations will go toward your light and Kings toward your shining splendor. Raise your eyes and look around: they are all assembling and coming to you; your sons are coming from far off, your daughters being carried on their nurses hips.

Then you will see and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with delight; for the riches of the seas will be brought to you, the wealth of nations will come to you.

Caravans of camels will cover your land, young camels from Midian and 'Eifah, all of them coming from Shiva, bringing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of ADONAI.

All the flocks of KeDar will be gathered for you, the rams of N'vayot will be at your service; they will come up and be received on my altar, as I glorify my glorious house."

Nations will come before the King of Kings bringing many gifts as well as the remaining Jews scattered throughout the planet.

(Isaiah 60:8-12) "Who are these, [Jews] flying along like clouds [in aircraft], like doves to their dovecotes?

The coastlands are putting their hope in me, with the 'Tarshish' ships in the lead, to bring your children from far away, and with them their silver and gold, for the sake of ADONAI your God, the Holy One of Israel, who glorifies you.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls, their kings will be at your service; for in my [God's] anger I struck you [Jews], but in my mercy I pity you.

Your gates will always be open, they will not be shut by day or by night, so that people can bring you the wealth of Nations, with their kings led in procession.

For the nation or kingdom that won't serve you will perish; yes, those nations will be utterly destroyed."

Those nations that refuse to serve God will fall at the battle of Har Megiddo sometime after the Sixth Shofar is blown.

(Isaiah 60:13) "The glory of the Lebanon will come to you, cypresses together with elm trees and larches, to beautify the sight of my sanctuary – I will glorify the place where I stand.

Notice here that Christ is referencing where He stands in Jerusalem, not a temple or building as His sanctuary.

(Isaiah 60:14) The children of your oppressors will come and bow low before you, all who despise you will fall at your feet, calling you the city of ADONAI, Tziyon [Zion] of the Holy One of Israel."

Every living thing will come and bow before ADONAI and the King of Kings, even those evil ones that are headed for destruction. But for Jerusalem all of God's promises are fulfilled.

(Isaiah 60:15-18) "In the past you were abandoned and hated, so that no one would even pass through you; but now I will make you the pride of the ages, a joy for many generations.

You will drink the milk of nations, you will nurse at royal breasts and know that I, ADONAI, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

"For bronze I will bring you gold, for iron I will bring you silver, bronze in place of wood, and iron in place of stones. I will make shalom your governor and righteousness your taskmaster.

Violence will no longer be heard in your land, desolation or destruction within your borders; instead, you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise."

Jerusalem will become the greatest, strongest, safest, most powerful and protected nation ever to exist! What can anyone do – against the Creator?

(Isaiah 60:19-22) "No more will the sun be your light by day, nor will moonlight shine on you; instead ADONAI will be your light forever and your God your glory.

No longer will the sun go down; your moon will no longer wane; for ADONAI will be your light forever; your days of mourning will end.

All your people will be 'tzaddikim' [righteous people]; they will inherit the land forever; they will be the branch I planted, my handiwork, in which I take pride.

The smallest will grow to a thousand, the weakest will become a mighty nation. I, ADONAI, when the right time comes, will quickly bring it about."

His glory will outshine the sun and the moon and stars. People trying to find their way to Jerusalem may only look up and see the horizon and view His Glory from afar off. God's Mercy will make a way for those people and He will heal those people as well as the desert land surrounding Jerusalem.

(Isaiah 34:1-10) The desert and the dry land will be glad; the 'Aravah [the desert south of the Dead Sea] will rejoice and blossom like the lily. It will burst into flower, will rejoice with joy and singing, will be given the glory of the L'vanon [Lebanon], the splendor of Karmel and the Sharon. They will see the glory of ADONAI, the splendor of our God.'

Strengthen your drooping arms, and steady your tottering knees. Say to the fainthearted, "Be strong and unafraid! Here is your God; he will come with vengeance; with God's retribution he will come and save you."

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped; then the lame man will leap like a deer, and a mute person's tongue will sing. For in the desert, springs will burst forth, streams of water in the 'Aravah [Arabian desert]; the sandy mirage will become a pool, the thirsty ground Springs of water. The haunts where jackals lie down will become a marsh filled with reeds and papyrus.

A highway will be there, a way, called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not pass over it, but it will be for those whom he guides – fools will not stray along it. No lion or other beast of prey will be there, traveling on it. They will not be found there, but the redeemed will go there. Those ransomed by ADONAI will return and come with singing to Zion, on their heads will be everlasting joy. They will acquire gladness and joy, while sorrow and sighing will flee.

(Isaiah 62:10-12) Go on through, go on through the gates, clear the way for the people! Build up a highway, build it up! Clear way the stones! Raise a banner for the people's!

ADONAI has proclaimed to the end of the earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Here, your salvation is coming! Here, his reward is with him, and his recompense is before him.'"

They will call them The Holy People, the Redeemed of ADONAI. You will be called D'rushah [Sought-After], 'Ir Lo Ne'ezvah [City-No-Longer-Abandoned].

In Isaiah 61 and Isaiah 62 God declares that his people will receive double restoration. The Jewish people in the land will be called high priests of ADONAI. The foreigners will plow the land and strangers will feed their flocks while God's people begin rebuilding the ancient ruins and restore sites long destroyed by generations past. It will be called the Year of the Favor of ADONAI [Isaiah 61:2] also known as the Year of Redemption [Isaiah 63:4].

(Isaiah 51:3) "For ADONAI will comfort Zion, will comfort all her ruined places, will make her desert like 'Eden', her 'Aravah' [desert] like the garden of ADONAI. Joy and gladness will be there, thanksgiving and the sound of music."

(Micah 7:11-13) That will be the day for rebuilding your walls, a day for expanding your territory, a day when [your] people will come [back] to you from Ashur and from the cities of Egypt, from Egypt and from as far as the Euphrates River, the earth will be desolate for those living in it, as a result of their deeds.

When reading through the books of the Old Testament regarding God and Israel be aware of Israel's entire history. Many people confuse events that occurred during and around the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.; confusing the destruction God had for Israel in 70 A.D. and the blessings He has for Israel when He returns can result in someone believing that Israel may have destruction in their future; but this is wrong. Remember Jerusalem's debts are paid off! When He returns to Jerusalem, Jerusalem will receive blessings, mercy, love, and honor; and this is for the Jews that did not believe Jesus is the Christ. How more blessed are the believers!

Feast of Lights-Dedication/Hanukkah

The Millennial Reign begins.

Hanukkah is a pivotal point during God's Year of Redemption. It indicates both the beginning and the end of Christ's Millennial Reign. When Christ sets up his millennial reign after He returns, it will officially begin the Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah. The Light of the World has come and this feast is dedicated to Him. Perseverance is the key to Hanukkah at the beginning of the 1000 year reign. After Christ sets up camp the Spirit of God then declares this in Revelation 14:12.

Revelation 14:12 This is when perseverance is needed on the part of God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise YESHUA's faithfulness.

A fact here is that people will still die during the 1000 year reign. They chose the 'flesh' rather than the Spirit of God thereby missing the Third Resurrection. They chose the works of the flesh rather than Faith in Grace so they will continue to live in the flesh until they die. But as long as they die united with the Lord they will rest from all they had done until the promise of the Good News is fulfilled at the Seventh Shofar. And what they had done is persevere.

(Revelation 14:13) Next I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: 'How blessed are the dead who die United with the Lord, from now on!' 'Yes', says the Spirit, 'now they may rest from their efforts, for the things they have accomplished follow along with them.'"

At the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ on the Feast of Lights the Adversary is released. Lucifer is also known as the Angel of light. On the Feast of Lights after the Millennial Reign a different perseverance is needed for the people that would not or did not make it to Zion in Jerusalem. They must persevere now under the horrible ruling of the Adversary and his False Prophet. This again is a pivotal point on the timeline and for those on earth because the Adversary goes out to deceive the nations (Fifth Shofar) and each person's faith is put to the test and will determine their future standings with God.

_The Fifth Plague – 30a_

The description of the Fifth Shofar is found in Revelation 9 the chapter of "Wrath". It takes place after the millennial reign of Christ and God our Father ADONAI. The Fifth Shofar begins in the second half of God's Year of Redemption and after the Adversary has been released which occurred sometime during the Feast of Lights.

Cause - (Revelation 9:1-6) The fifth Angel sounded his shofar; and I saw a star that had fallen out of heaven onto the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft leading down to the abyss. He opened the shaft of the abyss, and there went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a huge furnace; the sun was darkened, and the sky too, by the smoke from the shaft. Then out of the smoke onto the earth came locusts, and they were given power like the power scorpions have on earth. They were instructed not to harm the grass on the earth, or any green plant or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. The locusts were not allowed to kill them, only to inflict pain on them for five months; and the pain they caused was like the pain of a scorpion sting. In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

Effect - (Revelation 16:10-11) The fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom grew dark. People gnawed on their tongues from the pain, yet they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, and did not turn from their sinful deeds.

This particular star that had fallen out of heaven is the Angel Lucifer also known as the Adversary a.k.a. 'The Angel of Light'. He returns to his throne in Pergamum Turkey to release "smoke" from the abyss after God himself gave him the key to it. Understand that Christ has ALL Authority over the Adversary and uses him for the purpose of gaining more people for His kingdom. The Adversary says' "Yes Sir" to our Lord and obeys Gods commands without defect. He was beaten 2000 years ago. The objective of God here is to use the enemy to hurt the enemy, to try to turn the enemy (those that do not know Christ) to God by allowing the Adversary to inflict pain on them for five months. The horror of this event is that none of the Adversary's followers will be allowed to die, for God will not allow it. But by not being able to die, a man may change his mind and come to Christ and have a life after death rather than death after death. Believe it or not this is another time that God pours out his Mercy. Why?

Because, there are some very hard headed people out there that would rather serve evil than good and God is showing them the end result of evil with a type of hell on earth. When someone dies and goes to hell they suffer for an eternity in hell with no relief, not even death is a relief. Their pain will go on and on and on. So for five months, beginning on the Feast of Lights, our Lord is being gracious enough to give the evil people a trial offer for what awaits them in hell with the wonderful opportunity for the next six months to turn to Christ and escape the religions of the evil one, to gain Salvation and thus avoid the eternal death. Happy Hanukkah!

(Second Timothy 2:25-26)...For God may perhaps grant them the opportunity to turn from their sins, acquire full knowledge of the truth, come to their senses and escape the trap of the adversary, after having been captured alive by him to do his will.

The Locusts

As most people know our friend John lived in a time when walking or riding a horse was transportation and fast food was a fish that jumped in your mouth. John never saw aircraft, helicopters, kitchen appliances, the space shuttle, intercontinental ballistic missiles, tanks, cars, computers or toaster ovens. And so when he saw these locusts (the 'smoke' coming out of the Abyss) coming up out of the ground (an underground base), he tried to describe them as best he could.

(Revelation 9:7-11) Now these locusts looked like horses outfitted for battle. On their heads was what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of a lions. Their chests were like iron breastplates, and the sound their wings made was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails like those of scorpions, with stings; and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months. They had as king over them the Angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in our language, "Destroyer."

Now these locusts can simply be some form of demonic creatures drawn up out of Hell itself. But from the evidence so far it seems that God keeps things under the supernatural level, perhaps to test the true intentions of the sinner's heart. So unless a newer version of the YF-22 Osprey is in production for our friends in Turkey, it is safe to assume that these locusts are the Apache AH 64D's that America the Beautiful has provided to Turkey for their military defense (or for invasion or crowd control). Outfitted with nonlethal rounds or rubber bullets, a helicopter becomes an effective tool for controlling very large amounts of people in a crisis situation. These helicopters are heavily armored and the sound from the rotor blades creates a rumbling like horse's hooves when they run. On their heads, or above the rotor blades that look like 'hair' when they are spinning, is a round "crown" (the Fire Control Radar System) that gathers tactical information on the enemy while the helicopter hides behind a hill or something for protection. Their scorpion tails (turret guns) sting with rubber bullets and hurt people for the 5 months. Their king is Satan whom curses them with the plague while they gnaw their tongues from the pain and sores. Yet, they still do not turn from evil and accept Christ even after their own religion and god has failed them. And at this time they can literally go and see Christ in Jerusalem if they wanted.

(Revelation 16:10-11) The fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom grew dark. People gnawed on their tongues from the pain, yet they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, and did not turn from their sinful deeds.

Turkey has become a nightmare; the day is blotted out with smoke and fumes from a nearby nation still on fire with a never ending oil supply that's burning forever and ever. The people are in pain and suffering from hunger, thirst, and the locusts. And for some reason they curse God instead of coming to Christ and worshiping Him during His Year of Redemption. This may be credited to the Adversary's ability to deceive.

First Woe Passed

Now, at the end of the Fifth Shofar and the Fifth Bowl is the completion or the passing of the First Woe or Announcement that the First Eagle Angel flying in mid-heaven declared.

[The First Woe (Revelation 14:6-7)] Next I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven with everlasting Good News to proclaim to those living on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language and people. In a loud voice he said, "Fear God, give him glory, for the hour has come when He will pass judgment! Worship the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!"

(Revelation 9:12) The first woe has passed, but there are still two woes' (to come).

The words "to come" are not in the original Greek. If they were it would suggest that all three announcements do not start at the same time. But they do.

The First Woe (Revelation 14:6-7) tells us that God's judgment and commands that began before God's Millennial Reign and continued through His Millennial Reign still continue till the end of the Fifth Shofar and the Fifth Bowl. Also the First Announcement commands that those during this time should worship the one who made the heaven and earth and the sea and the springs of water. The placement of the passing (the end) of the first woe (the first announcement) signifies that God's Mercy and Grace is coming to an end for those that continue worshiping the Beast and its 'image' (the religion the Beast represents) and that those people will soon experience God's judgment.

'The sea and the springs of water' are examples of the condition of the Middle East at that time. For by God, out of Jerusalem will flow springs of living water. Christ is telling the Middle East nations that He has the water and the life and that anyone can come and freely receive! This water is literal water and spiritual life.

The 5 months begins at Hanukkah and ends just before the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. The 5th Shofar declaring the 5 months is again God's Grace, Grace in action. He is still giving those hard headed people time and comparisons to understand what He offers to them. He does this because He Loves them and doesn't want to lose anyone to eternal damnation. If you don't know Him just ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Ask Christ and ADONAI to dwell with you and teach you about His Love and give you the 'free for you' eternal reward of Life that Christ paid for, for you. Amen!

Revelation 13:8 Everyone living on the earth will worship it [the beast's religion] except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

Verse eight jumps the reader into the future where this statement is being fulfilled which is after the Adversary is released and when he is rebuilding his army and religion (the new beast) to try and destroy Christ (at the Fifth and Sixth Shofars).

God's holy people (on earth) must persevere and trust during this dilemma. They just experienced a beautiful millennial reign of peace and prosperity and then begin witnessing a massive horde of people turning towards the Adversary against the Creator.

Revelation 13:9 Those who have ears let them hear!

After being released the Adversary begins his wrath against man once again.

Revelation 13:10 "If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he is to be killed!" This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!

This verse is fulfilled/completed in its future tense when there are only two 'faiths' left, faith in God or faith in the Adversary. After explaining the Adversary's religion and its demise on God's holy people in Revelation 13, verse 8 gives the reader the ultimate outcome; everyone living on the earth will worship the Beast's religion except those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Feast of Lots/Purim

During His Year of Redemption and His Millennial Reign on the 14th and 15th of Adar, Jerusalem will celebrate the protection and the deliverance their God has given them. The celebration on the Feast of Lots/Purim at this time will probably be like no other, considering the circumstances. And God's protection over Jerusalem will remain after the Millennial Reign as well as at the battle at Har Megiddo.

Passover/Pesach

The Feast of Passover on the 14th of Nisan is when God delivered His people with Moses out of Egypt. It is also when Jesus became our sacrificial Lamb to restore us to our one-on-one relationship with God the Father ADONAI. So during the Year of Redemption after the 1000 year reign, Passover will represent the time when Jesus embarks to the 'non-compliant' nations surrounding Jerusalem to deliver His people from them.

(Revelation 14:14-16) Then I looked, and there before me was a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone like a Son of Man with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Another Angel came out of the temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, "Start using your sickle to reap, because the time to reap has come – the earth's harvest is ripe!" The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

The time to clean house has come! ADONAI's arm, Jesus Christ, embarks to begin harvesting the earth (the Middle East) to deliver His people. Why? Because the holy war of the 8th Beast that was interrupted after the whore was destroyed has begun again and the 8th Beast that was struck with the SWORD has returned. And there will be those that will come to try and capture Jerusalem and slaughter the people living there. But when God came to Jerusalem He came ready to fight and defend.

(Isaiah 30:27-33) Here comes the name of ADONAI from afar, his anger burning, in thick rising smoke. His lips are full to the brim with fury, his tongue a consuming fire.

His breath [Spirit, Fire] is like a racing torrent that rises up to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and put a bridle in the people's mouths to lead them astray.

Your song will be like one that is sung on a night when a holy feast is kept, and your hearts will be happy, as if walking to the sound of the flute, to the mountain of ADONAI, to the Rock of Israel [Christ].

ADONAI will make his glorious voice heard, and he will reveal his arm [Christ] descending with furious anger in a flaming fire storm, with cloudburst's, tempests and hailstones.

For ADONAI's voice will terrify Ashur, as with his scepter he strikes them down.

Every sweep of the punishing rod that ADONAI imposes on him will be to tambourines and lyres, as he brandishes his arm [Christ] against them in battle.

For the Tofet fire pit has long been ready, prepared for the King, made large and deep, with plenty of wood and blazing with fire; like a stream of sulfur, ADONAI's breath sets it aflame.

And then those associated with the beast in Syria try to flee to Egypt.

(Isaiah 31:1-9) Woe to those going down to Egypt expecting help – relying on horses; trusting in chariots, because they have many, and in the strength of their cavalrymen – but not looking to the Holy One of Israel, not consulting ADONAI.

But he too is wise and can bring disaster, and he does not take back his words; he will rise against the house of evildoers and against the help of those who do wrong.

Now the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit. So when ADONAI stretches out his hand, both he who helps will stumble, and he who is helped will fall; both will perish together.

For here is what ADONAI says to me: "As a lion or lion cub growls at its prey and isn't frightened away by the shouts of hordes of shepherds called out against him – their voices do not upset him – so likewise ADONAI-TZVA'OT [the Lord of heaven's armies] will descend to fight on Mount Tziyon [Zion], on its hill.

Like hovering birds, ADONAI-TZVA'OT will protect Jerusalem. In protecting it, he will rescue it; in sparing it, he will save it.

People of Israel! Return to him to whom you have been so deeply disloyal!

For on that day everyone will discard his idols of silver and idols of gold, which you made for yourselves with your own sinful hands.

Then Ashur [Assyrian, Assyria] will fall by a sword not of mortals, a sword, not of humans, will devour him; he will flee before the sword, and his young men will be put into forced labor.

His rock, out of terror, will pass away, and his panicked officers will desert the standard." So says ADONAI, whose fire is in Tziyon, whose furnace is in [Yerushalayim] Jerusalem.

When Ashur tries to flee to Egypt for help from their gods instead of prostrating themselves before the King of kings of Jerusalem, Christ tells us that He will meet them there and both will be destroyed in Egypt.

(Habakkuk3:3-15) God comes from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Pa'ran. His splendor covers the sky, and his praise fills the earth.

This brightness is like the sun, rays come forth from his hand – that is where his power is concealed.

Before him goes pestilence, and close behind, the plague.

When he stands up, the earth shakes; when he looks, the nations tremble, the eternal mountains [the Adversary's kingdoms or nations] are smashed to pieces, the ancient hills sink down; the ancient paths are his.

I saw trouble in the tents of Kushan and the tent hangings shaking in the land of Midyan.

ADONAI, is it against the rivers, against the rivers that your anger is inflamed? Is your fury directed at the sea [nations]? Is that why you ride on your horses, and drive your chariots to victory?

You brandish your naked bow and order it filled with arrows. You split the earth into rivers.

The mountains see you and tremble; a torrent of water streams by; the deep thunders forth, as it raises enormous waves.

The sun and moon standstill in the sky at the light of your arrow speeding by, at the gleam of your glittering spear.

In fury you stride across the land, in anger you trample the nations.

You come out to save your people, to save your anointed one; you crush the head of the house of the wicked, uncovering its foundation all the way to the neck.

With their own rods you pierce the head of their warriors, who come like a whirlwind to scatter us, who rejoice at the prospect of devouring the poor in secret.

You tread down the sea [nations] with your horses, churning up the mighty waters.

(Feast of) Unleavened Bread/Hag HaMatzot

After the 1000 year reign when Christ embarks He is looking for the unleavened bread. The people Christ will save are the ones who had put away the sin (leaven) once they learned Christ was King and Savior. And they were put through the fire and they persevered so that when Christ found them they were truly unleavened bread (found without sin, with a repentant heart and ready to receive salvation). Therefore He will bring them back as His firstfruits, back to the Father.

(Zephaniah 3:15-20) ADONAI has removed the judgments against you, he has expelled your enemy; the King of Israel, ADONAI, is right there with you. You no longer need to fear that anything bad will happen.

On that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, "Do not fear, Zion! Don't let your hands droop down."

ADONAI your God is right there with you, as a mighty Savior. He will rejoice over you and be glad, he will be silent in his love, he will shout over you with joy."

"I will gather those of yours who grieve over the appointed feasts and bear the burden of reproach [because they cannot keep them].

When that time comes, I will deal with all those who oppress you. I will save her who was lame, gather her who was driven away, and make them whose shame spread over the earth the object of praise and renown.

When that time comes, I will bring you in; when that time comes, I will gather you and make you the object of fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth – when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says ADONAI.

Feast of Firstfruits

There will be rejoicing in Jerusalem when Christ returns with His first fruits that He gathered during harvest time. He alone went with the sickle and began treading the winepress of God's fury. He reaped the harvest sending the ripened grapes to the winepress and gathering the selected fruits for Himself.

(Joel 3:5) At that time, whoever calls on the name of ADONAI will be saved. For in Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as ADONAI has promised; among the survivors will be those whom ADONAI has called.

From battle, Christ will return to Jerusalem.

(Isaiah 63:1-6) Who is this, coming from Edom, from Botzrah with clothing stained crimson, so magnificently dressed, so stately in his great strength? "It is I, who speak victoriously, I, well able to save."

Why is your apparel red, your clothes like someone treading a winepress?

"I have trodden the winepress alone; from the peoples, not one was with me. So I trod them in my anger, trampled them in my fury; so there lifeblood spurted out on my clothing, and I have stained all my garments; for the day of vengeance that was in my heart and my year of redemption have come.

I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was appalled that no one upheld me. Therefore my own arm brought me salvation, and my own fury upheld me.

In my anger I trod down the peoples, made them drunk with my fury, then poured out there lifeblood on the earth."

Feast of Weeks - Pentecost

In the Old Testament God gave Israel the Law of Death (The 10 Commandments) on the day of Pentecost where many died. In the New Testament on the first Pentecost after Jesus was resurrected God gave to His disciples the 'cloven tongues' of FIRE from the Holy Spirit bringing many people even today to salvation. It can be assumed that during the Year of Redemption on the day of Pentecost God will pour out His Spirit on all the Redeemed people that have come to him. His Spirit is the same Spirit that we are able to receive today, to be able to hear His voice and know His heart and be able to pour out His love. This is also a preparation for God's people because of the events that are soon to take place. For soon the Adversary will be coming with nations towards Jerusalem to try and destroy it (at the Battle of Har Megiddo).

Revelation 7:15 fulfills the first Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) after Christ's Millennial Reign.

Revelation 7:15 That is why they are before God's throne. "Day and night they serve him in his temple; and the one who sits on the throne will pour out his Sh'khinah, upon them.

The Sh'khinah is God's Glory, Fire, and Protection that is given to the Redeemed on Pentecost to prepare them for the great Day of ADONAI (Har Megiddo).

Har Megiddo

At some time during the end of God's Year of Redemption, after Pentecost, a trumpet is blown.

(Joel 2:1-2) "Blow the shofar in Tziyon! Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!" Let all living in the land tremble, for the day of ADONAI is coming! It's upon us! – A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick fog; a great and mighty horde is spreading like blackness over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, nor will there ever be again, not even after the years of many generations.

When this shofar is blown the Day of ADONAI "is coming! It's Upon Us!" This means that the Day of ADONAI is not quite here yet. So the blowing of the shofar in Zion can be the Sixth Shofar in Revelation because they are "gathering".

(Revelation 9:13-14) The Sixth Angel sounded his shofar, and I heard a voice from the Four Horns of the Golden altar before God, saying to the Sixth Angel, the one with the shofar, "Release the Four Angels that are bound at the great River Euphrates!"

Revelation 9:15 says that these Angels (all of God's Angels) are kept ready for this particular day, the day of ADONAI (Har Megiddo). They have been prepared and ready for this day to kill an almost indefinite number of Calvary soldiers coming against Jerusalem, one third of mankind!

So some time after Christ has returned from Edom, the trumpet in Zion is blown which is the Sixth Shofar releasing those Angels in heaven that are prepared even today to kill those that come against God's Holy camp. And so Christ joins the Four Angels (the four ranks of millions and millions of angels) in heaven, to gather His troops, and to lead them into battle.

(Revelation 14:17-19) Another Angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Then out from the altar went to yet another Angel, who was in charge of the fire; and he called out in a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because they are ripe!" The Angel swung his sickle down onto the earth, gathered the earth's grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's fury.

This is a parable representation of what happens when Christ returns to earth with God's armies to deal with the threat coming against Jerusalem which is also told in Revelation 19:11.

(Revelation 19:11-16) Next I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. Sitting on it was the one called faithful and true, and it is in righteousness that he passes judgment and goes to battle. His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many Royal crowns. And he had a name written which no one knew but himself. He was wearing a robe that had been soaked in blood, and the name by which he is called is, "THE WORD OF GOD." The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down nations – "He will rule them with a staff of iron." {This is fulfilled at Har Megiddo as His punishing Rod) It is he who treads the winepress from which flows the wine of the furious rage of ADONAI, God of heaven's armies. And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Now in the paragraph from John's perspective Christ will rule with a staff of iron during the 1000 year reign and when the time comes Christ will strike down nations with a sharp sword which is Christ 'treading the winepress'. But by not understanding and following the timeline this paragraph could be misunderstood as the actual 'first' return of Christ. Christ the King is ready to lead ADONAI's armies and (the fire) into battle as a great and mighty horde spreads its way across like blackness over the mountains surrounding Jerusalem. What remains after the battle is a valley full of blood and acres and acres of bodies.

Numbers and Deception

The Third Resurrection is going to pull a whole lot of people off this planet. Countries like Russia and Australia may be virtually empty. So where does an uncountable amount of people coming against Jerusalem come from? Simple, the 1000 year reign gives plenty of time for reproduction whereas seven years (of tribulation) does not, regardless of when "a rapture" could take place. So the Millennial Reign must take place before the Great Day of ADONAI's battle which is exactly what Chapter 20 tells us.

The deception from the Adversary is another interesting question. What is it? How can he deceive nations when God is literally and physically with man in Jerusalem? By way of the heart of man is how. The offspring of those people that saw God come to Jerusalem know nothing about how life was lived before that. Their hearts will swell with corruption as they listen to promises from the Adversary concerning life without God. Lies will fill the hearts and minds of men. This is why God's people are told to persevere again because if the Love for God is not in their heart then it will be filled with lies and deceit. This type of deception exists today against God's grace, mercy and love.

Again, the return of our Lord is not about a horrific apocalyptic nightmare. It IS about a merciful Savior whom after gathering the righteous through faith up to the heavens then comes down to earth to gather anyone else who seeks the Creator of the Universe while also protecting those that come to Him while keeping Peace on Earth until the Day of ADONAI. Again, the Book of Revelation is about Joy, Mercy, Peace, Prosperity, Justice, Kindness, Grace, Love and a Second Chance for those that need it. Me, I'll take Redemption through faith and grace rather than whatever deception is waiting after that one thousand years.

_The Sixth Plague – 30b_

The Sixth Plague, beginning with the Sixth Shofar, begins in Revelation chapter 9, again the chapter of wrath!

(Revelation 9:13-16) The sixth Angel sounded his shofar, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth Angel, the one with the shofar, "Release the four Angels that are bound at the great River Euphrates!" And they were released. These four Angels had been kept ready for this moment, for this day and month and year, to kill a third of mankind; and the number of Calvary soldiers was 200 million! – I heard the number.

After the Sixth Angel sounded his shofar he receives a command from the Four Horns. Horns in Scripture are kings, but we may also call them a single leader of a great multitude meaning that each of these Four Horns is a leader of each of the Four Living Beings. The command came from one of the four leaders of the four groups of Angels; the Eagle Angel Commander, the Ox Angel Commander, the Human Angel Commander or the Lion Angel Commander. The four Angels that are 'bound' at the great River Euphrates are the same Four Angels from Revelation 7's Third Resurrection.

(Revelation 7:1-4) After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree. I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea, "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard how many were sealed – 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Israel:

So when the Sixth Shofar is blown these Four Angels, these Four Horns, these Four Commanders each one from one of the Four Living Beings, these Four Angels that are in command each of millions and millions and millions of Angels AND later with millions and millions and millions of Redeemed people (the Fire), are released to kill the armies coming against Jerusalem to the battle at Har Megiddo (what some have called Armageddon). They, are the FIRE that is called down to consume the enemy because on the Feast of Weeks, Pentecost, God puts His Sh'khinah (Fire) upon them [Revelation7:15]! But again this is not a global conflict; this is a single battle in the Middle East with demonized armies fighting against our Redeemer and God our Father ADONAI.

Tanks

Now God gives us a glimpse of this army and the horses that they ride along with the colors they fly.

(Revelation 9:17-19) Here is how the horses looked in the vision: the riders had breastplates that were fire-red, iris-blue and sulfur-yellow; the horses' heads were like lions' heads; and from their mouths issued fire, smoke and sulfur. It was these three plagues that killed a third of mankind – the fire, smoke and sulfur issuing from the horses' mouths. For the power of the horses was in their mouths – and also in their tails, for their tails were like snakes with heads, and with them they could cause injury.

The 'horses' that belong to this uncountable amount of Calvary soldiers are tanks. Now Iraqi tanks have been called the Lion of Babylon but that's not why these horses are tanks, it comes from their description. If you look at a silhouette or shadow of a M1A1 Abrams tank from Turkey (American supplied), you'll notice the silhouette is nearly identical to the head of a lion. The mouth of the lion is the front of the tank which may consists of 1 to 2 machine guns or flamethrowers, hence the fire. The tail is the main gun on the tank. The end of the main gun has a muzzle guard which can resemble a snake's head. The fire, smoke and sulfur issuing out of them is the round when it is fired, armor piercing-AP, high explosive plastic-HEP, or a HEAT round, whatever it is, they cause injury!

The Book of Joel is written similar to the book of Revelation because one will go to and fro, back and forth with other books of the bible to place the events of the book of Joel in the correct order. Of course the reason for this was to prevent full interpretation until our Lord was ready for us to know. Or, are they written in this way for only those who diligently seek him? More revelations unfold as the world approaches God's Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption.

The tanks or horses of Revelation 9:17-19 are also described in Joel 2:3-11.

(Joel 2:1-14) "Blow the shofar in Tziyon (Zion)! Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!" Let all the living in the land tremble, for the day of ADONAI is coming! It's upon us! –

A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick fog; a great and mighty horde is spreading like blackness over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, nor will there ever be again, not even after the years of many generations.

Ahead of them a fire devours, behind them a flame consumes; Ahead the land is like Gan-'Eden (the Garden of Eden), behind them a desert waste. From them there is no escape.

They look like horses, and like Calvary they charge.

With a rumble like that of chariots they leap over the mountain tops, like crackling flames devouring stubble, like a mighty hoard in battle array.

At their presence the peoples writhe in anguish, every face is drained of color.

Like warriors they charge, they scale the wall like soldiers. Each one keeps to his own course, without getting in the other's away.

They don't jostle each other, but stay on their own paths; they burst through defenses unharmed, without even breaking rank.

They rush into the city, they run along the wall, they climb up into the houses, entering like a thief through the windows.

At their advanced the earth quakes, and the sky shakes, the sun and moon turned black, and the stars stop shining.

ADONAI shouts orders to his forces – his Army is immense, mighty, and it does what he says. For great is the day of ADONAI, fearsome, terrifying! Who can endure it?

"Yet even now," says ADONAI, "turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting."

Tear your heart, not your garments; and turn to ADONAI your God. For he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace, and willing to change his mind about disaster.

Who knows? He may turn, change his mind and leave a blessing behind him, [enough for] grain offerings and drink offerings to present to ADONAI your God.

The most important verse written here in Joel proclaims that during the attempted invasion of Jerusalem by the beast our Merciful Lord who is slow to anger and rich in grace is willing to change His mind about the disastrous outcome of this battle (because the enemy doesn't have a chance against the Creator).

(Joel 4:9-21) "Proclaim this among the nations: 'Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men approach and attack.' Hammer your plow-blades into swords and your pruning-knives into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.' Hurry, come, you surrounding nations, gather yourselves together!"

Bring your warriors down, ADONAI!

"Let the nations be roused and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat [ADONAI Judges]. For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations."

Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, and tread, for the winepress is full. The vats are overflowing, for their wickedness is great.

Such enormous crowds in the Valley of Decision! For the day of ADONAI is upon us in the Valley of Decision!

The sun and moon have grown black, and the stars have stopped shining.

ADONAI will roar from Zion, He will thunder from Jerusalem, the sky and the earth will shake.

But ADONAI will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel. "You will know that I am ADONAI your God, living on Zion my holy mountain."

Then Jerusalem will be holy, and foreigners will pass through her no more. Then, when the time comes, the mountains will drip with sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the streambeds of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of ADONAI to water the Sheetim Valley.

But Egypt will be desolate and Edom a desert waste, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land.

Judah will be inhabited forever, Jerusalem through all generations. "I will cleanse them of blood guilt which I have not yet cleansed," for ADONAI is living in Zion. {This verse was written before The Cross, Jerusalem's guilt was cleansed at the Cross!}

Sixth Bowl

(Revelation 16:12-16) The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great River Euphrates, and its water dried up, in order to prepare the way for the Kings of the East. And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs; they came from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet. They are miracle-working demonic spirits which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world to assemble them for the War of the Great Day of ADONAI-TZVA'OT [Lord of Heaven's Armies]. ("Look! I am coming like a thief! How blessed are those who stay alert and keep their clothes clean, so that they won't be walking naked and be publicly put to shame!") And they gathered the kings to the place which in Hebrew is called Har Megiddo.

Notice the past tense used when the sixth bowl is poured out. John saw (past tense) three unclean spirits and they came (past tense) from the mouth of the dragon. This suggests to the reader that prior to the sixth bowl being poured out that these spirits were released. And then the present tense is used regarding these spirits going out to deceive the world. When the sixth bowl is poured out these spirits who had been released are still deceiving the kings of the earth. And then the last event of the sixth bowl is those kings gathering at Har Megiddo to the Great Day of ADONAI.

After the Sixth Bowl is completed or fulfilled, the war of the Great Day of ADONAI comes with a Wedding Feast.

(Revelation 19:17-18) Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds that fly about in mid-heaven. "Come, gather together for the great feast God is giving, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of important men, the flesh of horses and their riders and the flesh of all kinds of people, free and slave, small and great!"

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb is not a giant banquet in heaven with all sorts of food and delicacies. It is a feast for the birds in the sky to feast on humans and animals that die in the War on that Great Day at Har Megiddo in the Valley of Decision.

(Revelation 19:21) The rest were killed with the sword that goes out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

(Ezekiel 39:4) You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, your troops and all the peoples with you; I will give you to be eaten up by all kinds of birds of prey and by wild animals.

Again, the misconception that deserves its own paragraph is the phrase from Christ saying in Revelation 16:15, "I am coming like a thief". This coming like a thief has been used to refer to the Lord taking us up to heaven (that rapture thingy) and His return to earth. Both are wrong! Christ's warnings that He is "coming like a thief" and that "no one knows the day nor the hour" phrases are not for the people that love him and are not for the people whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life! These warnings are for the enemies of God during the timeframe from the first plague to the sixth plague. There will be no excuse at this time for doing evil and for not receiving the free pardon for your sins because Christ has already made himself known throughout the entire globe (the three 'woe' announcements between the Fourth Plague and the Fifth Plague) of his presence on earth and there-fore when Christ comes to judge people at this time as he travels throughout the regions of the Middle East and if he finds anyone naked (indulging in sin of any kind) He will publicly put that person to shame on that last Day of Judgment before His entire creation. But immediately when He finds you "naked" He will deal with you with the sword, meaning, you will be killed and your soul will be sent to hell awaiting your final trial where you will be publicly put to shame on your Day in Court at the Great Throne Judgment.

It begins during the fifth plague that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ stains His garments with the blood of those people. His approach will be like a thief. The evil man will not know when Christ is coming and while they indulge in their murderers, sexual assaults and their sin, after choosing the Adversary's deception; they will be slain! At this time, how blessed are those who stay alert and keep their clothes clean and stay righteous in the eyes of the Lord God Almighty. And this is why Christ's clothes are stained Crimson Red upon His return from Heaven after the Sixth Plague (Shofar and Bowl) with ADONAI's armies to destroy the enemies of ADONAI.

The events of the Sixth Shofar and Sixth Bowl begin before Pentecost and continue through to the Feast of Trumpets –the Feast that started it all. About four months after Pentecost on Rosh Hashanah a trumpet will blow in Zion sounding the alarm that an enemy is on the horizon and to call the Armies of Heaven down to fight. Then the Redeemed from the Third Resurrection and the newly redeemed at the Forth Resurrection (7th Shofar) will be changed together to immortality when that Seventh Shofar is blown. And the Fire will await instructions from the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords!
CHAPTER 31 - DANIEL EXPLAINED THE BEAST

Everyone has their theory about what the beast is, where it is going and where it came from. But to understand the truth about the beast, look no further than the book of Daniel. If you have not read the book of Daniel then do so now before continuing this study. Read it carefully and absorb as much detail from this book as you can. This author suggests reading from the Complete Jewish Bible by David H. Stern.

Because one must go to and fro, back and forth through the scriptures to understand all these revelations in their entirety, the reader will be given answers before the questions and questions before the answers and after finishing this study the reader must re-read again to fulfill the depth of this study. So have patience, it will absorb in.

To understand the beast of Revelation you must first know the beast of Daniel. But to fully understand the beast of Daniel one must understand the Book of Revelation. This is why the book of Daniel is sealed until the time of the end; however, the "end" began after the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. And the unsealed book of Revelation is the key to opening the sealed book of Daniel.

Phrases such as the "time of the end", the "last days", the "day of the Lord", and the beginning of the "end times" are all separate events and should not and cannot be blended together.

Jesus said to beware the leaven (teachings) of the Pharisees and also made a point in Matthew, Mark and Luke to tell us that the Sadducees do not believe in the resurrection, a resurrection of any kind! So it's no mystery that the Jews of King James era that interpreted and created the King James Version of God's Word may have deliberately changed many Greek and Hebrew words using "other" definitions thereby destroying their original meanings. Such is with the scriptures regarding the Four Resurrections of First Corinthians 15:20, the "prior" (first) resurrection of Revelation 20, adding that grace needs works in Romans 8:1, and hiding the fact that the seventh King of Daniel destroyed Jerusalem and burned the temple to the ground in Daniel chapter 8 and 11.

What is the Beast?

The Beast is simply the Adversary's prominent religious kingdoms that God has allowed to plague the Jewish people for 3500 years because they turned against Him (God).The description of the "first" (7 headed) Beast comes from the book of Daniel and spans from the first king of Daniel 11, Nebuchadnezzar, to the seventh King of Daniel 11 whom destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 A.D.

The 8th Beast Began...

When the Adversary (Satan) condoned the destruction of the Holy, consecrated to God in Heaven, Temple in Jerusalem, he got God's attention. And so an angelic battle occurred leaving the Adversary cast down onto the earth which also left his Angels that followed him in chains awaiting judgment (Revelation 12).

And then (Revelation 12:18) the Dragon (Adversary) stood by the seashore (nations) contemplating his next move and planning to destroy as many as he can. This is where Revelation chapter 13 begins. The Adversary brings forth, so subtle, another religious kingdom out of the Middle East nations. Revelation 13:1, "and I (John) saw a beast (religious kingdom) come up out of the sea (nations)". This Beast is known as the 8th Beast and its reign began after the duration of occurrences that highlighted the destruction of Jerusalem's Temple in 70 A.D., through today, until Christ Himself will strike the Eighth Beast with the Sword; i.e. locks up the Adversary for the Millennial Reign of Christ. But after the Millennial Reign the Eighth Beast is released when it (the Adversary) comes up out of the earth (Abyss).

Don't let the words and the numbers confuse you. The Beast is simply religious kingdoms from the Adversary of the Most High God, a God who selected the Jewish people as His own and thereby used the Beast to plague His people for 3500 years because they (the Jewish people) turned against Him and then His only begotten Son (Christ Jesus) whom gave His life to restore mankind to his God by shedding His blood for everyone. The numbers of the Heads of the Beast simply represent the kings of that religious kingdom. Seven kings from the past (Daniel 11), and the king of the Eighth Beast (the 8th king) is the Adversary himself of the Most High God.

Let's get started.

There are four main resources that describe the Beast in the book of Daniel and they are Nebuchadnezzar's statue, Daniel's vision of chapter 7, Daniel's vision of chapter 8, and chapter eleven in its entirety.

Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven who unlocks mysteries, and he has revealed to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the acharit hayamim (end times, last days). Here are your dream and the visions you had in your head when you were in bed.

The Statue

Daniel explains to King Nebuchadnezzar that God has unlocked a mystery for him for the last days. This mystery is also unlocked for us. This very important dream known as Nebuchadnezzar statue helps explain the beast in the last days.

Daniel 2:31 "Your Majesty had a vision of a statue, very large and extremely bright; it stood in front of you and its appearance was terrifying. (32) The head of the statue was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, it's trunk and thighs of bronze, (33) its legs of iron, and its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. (34) As you watched, a stone separated itself without any human hand, struck the statue on its feet made of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. (35) Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken into pieces which became like the chaff on a threshing-floor in summer; the wind blew them away without leaving a trace. But the stone which had struck the statue grew into a huge mountain that filled the whole earth.

Daniel explained to the King that his kingdom was the head of gold and that other kingdoms would follow his representing the silver, the bronze, the iron and lastly the feet made of iron mixed with clay. The iron mixed with clay is the last "kingdom" that will exist before Christ establishes His kingdom. And when Christ establishes His kingdom it will last forever.

Nebuchadnezzar statue is the first outline given to man regarding "the beast" of the last days. And the last kingdom of that beast is represented as iron mixed with clay. So Daniel also gives more insight as to why it is feet made of iron and clay.

Daniel 2:41 Finally, you saw the feet and toes made partly of pottery clay and partly of iron; this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the firmness of iron, since you saw the iron mixed with clay from the ground. (42) Just as the toes of the feet were part iron and part clay, this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. (43) You saw the iron mixed with clay; that means that they will cement their alliances by intermarriages; but they won't stick together any more than iron blends with clay.

Cementing alliances by intermarriage is a very important interpretation key word for the last kingdom that rules before Christ sets up his kingdom. Remember it.

The 4 Kings Daniel served.

As explained before, the Bible is a Middle East Bible. It is a Middle East interpretation. And Daniel shows us that the people of Kasdim were his adversaries in Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom.

Daniel 3:8 But then some Kasdim approached and began denouncing the Jews.

Understand that Daniel spent his life in the Adversary's kingdoms. The kings that Daniel served were Kings of the Adversary's kingdoms. Now Daniel served four kings and these **four kings** are:

Nebuchadnezzar, the 1st king of Bavel (Babylon) from chapter 1.

Belshatzar, the 2nd king of Bavel from chapter 5.

Daryavesh (Darius) the Mede, the 3rd king of Bavel from chapter 6.

Koresh the Persian, the 4th king of Bavel from chapter 6.

So the **statue** is Bavel (Babylon), the land called Persia, also recognized today as the Middle East. The Head of Gold is Nebuchadnezzar. Yet his son Belshatzar was an unworthy king so he is not recognized by God (Daniel 5:22-30) in the statue. The statue's chest and arms of silver is the kings of the Mede's (Daryavesh) and the Persians (Koresh). These four kings are the four kings recognized in Daniel 11:1-2.

Daniel 11:2 What I am going to tell you now is true. "Three kings will arise in Persia, followed by a fourth, who will be far wealthier than all of them; and when he has grown strong by means of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece."

The fourth king Koresh of Persia who is powerful and wealthy stirs up everyone against the kingdom of Greece, and thereby instigating a war with Greece.

The Fifth King

The **statue** continues with the trunk of bronze and then the thighs of bronze. The trunk of bronze is the fifth King of Daniel 11:3-4. This fifth King is also known from our history as Alexander of Greece whom after conquering Babylon/Persia divides up his kingdom.

Daniel 11:3-4 "Then a powerful king will appear who will rule a vast kingdom and do whatever he pleases. But once he appears, this kingdom will be broken up and divided to the four winds of heaven. It won't be inherited by his descendants, and it won't be ruled with the power he had, because his kingship will be uprooted and will pass to others than his own posterity."

This is what happened to Alexander and none of his descendants (Greeks) inherited Babylon. Alexander was the 5th King of Daniel 11.

Alexander's kingdom was broken up to the four winds (that means four different directions). What was left was a kingdom that was in a state of un-ruled turmoil. These kingdoms of the north, south, east and west stood apart but only two of them really 'stood out'. The Bronze thighs of Nebuchadnezzar's statue represent the two primary kingdoms of the four that were divided by the Trunk (Greece). These two kingdoms are the kingdom of the north and the kingdom of the south. These two kingdoms continued as the Two Legs of Iron in the statue.

Daniel 11:5-19 describes how these two kingdoms (of the four {N,S,E,W}) battled each other over and over through time. Now all four remained as a prominent religion but the rulers fought among themselves.

Daniel 11:14 Those will be times in which many will resist the King of the South; and the more violent ones among your own people will rebel in order to fulfill their visions; but they will fail.

Throughout that time in Middle East history the legs of iron from Nebuchadnezzar statue are the Kings of the north and the Kings of the South.

The Sixth King

The 6th King to rule was simply a tax collector.

Daniel 11:20 "In his place will arise one who will send a tax collector through the Glorious Kingdom; but within a few days, he will be broken, though neither in anger nor in battle."

The Glorious Kingdom is a reference to the Middle East in general. At some point in time a king arose and attempted to control the kingdoms of the North, South, East and West by sending out a tax collector. The attempt was probably futile and he probably quit. But he was the sixth King to rule the Glorious Kingdom.

The 7th King

The seventh King of old Persia, the seventh King of the Middle East, the seventh King of Babylon, the Seventh Head of the Beast, the seventh King of Kasdim of the people called the Chaldeans, is described in verses 21 through 39 of Daniel 11. This King began his career by being deceitful and despicable and doing things that no other king had ever done before, dreadful and horrible things. When he became powerful he began attacking the King of the South (Egypt). In his fury and during his battles he destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. He allied himself with the Romans to destroy the strongest fortresses (Daniel 11:39). And he prospered only until the appointed wrath by God for Jerusalem was over.

Understand that God used the seven heads of the beast to do His will against His people because they (the Jewish People) rejected Him. This was not done out of spite or to be mean or to be hateful to His people. He loved His people enough to give them what they wanted; the people of Israel wanted to serve the gods of the Babylon kingdom and therefore they also received the wrath of the gods and kings of that kingdom.

But when God sent His only Son to die for the people of Israel and they rejected Jesus Christ His only Son, He allowed once again another King of Babylon to rule over them and that was the seventh King and the seventh King destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 A.D.

God clearly says that the Chaldeans destroyed His Temple. So it is highly probable that once the Chaldeans attacked Jerusalem and saw the Gold Temple, it then became a fury that not even the Romans could stop. The Chaldeans, the people of Kasdim under the 7th King stripped the Temple to the ground. This evidence has been hidden in Daniel chapter's eight and eleven due to gross and possibly deliberate misinterpretation of some of the words in those chapters. There will be more about this evidence later.

The Four Huge Animals of Daniel 7's Vision

Daniel was given a vision about four huge animals. Notice that these animals are **Huge** , meaning they are very great powerful nations of Babylon. The First was the Lion with the Eagles wings but the Eagles wings were plucked off. The animal was made to stand on 2 feet like a man and a human heart was given to it. This **First Huge** animal is King Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom whom himself in Daniel chapter 4 lost his kingdom and was driven into the wilderness to eat like an animal because of his pride. However his head, **his authority** , was given back to him by God in heaven, and then he continued to rule the kingdom. His wounded head was healed. King Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, and himself, is the **Lion**.

Revelation 13:3 One of the heads of the beast appeared to have received a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed after the beast in amazement.

The true interpretation of the word "one" in Revelation 13:3 actually means "the first" from the original Greek definition. This simply means that the first head of the beast received a fatal wound, that is, King Nebuchadnezzar's authority was destroyed. However God gave him back his authority and thereby his "wound" on his head "his authority" was healed.

The **Second** Huge animal was the Bear that's raised up on one side. The religious laws of the Medes and the Persians are represented by the **Huge** Bear. These two came together to form a great kingdom and this kingdom was ruled by two separate Kings, the third and fourth Kings of Babylon. The Bear is raised up on one side showing the power that the fourth King had, the King Koresh of the Persians.

Notice that we skipped the second King of Babylon. This is because he was found unworthy by God. When you steal Holy consecrated items that belong to God, you are deemed unworthy.

**The Third** Huge animal is the Leopard. The Leopard is not the King of Greece! The King of Greece did not retain his power nor was his kingdom very large. Remember kingdoms are ruled by kings but also by the laws of their religion. The Medes and the Persians had an agreement on their religion and their laws which made them a singular very powerful kingdom and that is why they are represented by the Bear. So when the kingdom of Greece took over Babylon (the Middle East) they did not retain it but rather it was divided to the four winds; the kingdom of the North, the kingdom of the South, the kingdom of the East, and the kingdom of the West. These four kingdoms is the Leopard with four heads. The Leopard represents Babylon in its entirety at that time ruled by four kingdoms with many kings ruling throughout time. The **Huge** Leopard is the four kingdoms ruling the Middle East after the Greek empire and through and after 70 A.D.

**The Forth** Huge animal known as dreadful and horrible is a kingdom that rules the Middle East for hundreds and hundreds of years. Understanding what this forth animal is can be very difficult but by having the truest interpretation of the Book of Revelation as a guideline showing us the events that will unfold in our future helps un-seal the Book of Daniel.

The 4th Huge animal is the dominant religious kingdom in the Middle East that has and is ruling the Middle East today. Its origin is from the Empire's that ruled before it and those Empire's god. The 4th HUGE animal IS a very large and dominant religion in the Middle East that began sometime after the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 A.D. It comes from (originated from) the First (primary) Beast with the 7 Heads (the 7 Kings of Daniel 11) and it is on its way to destruction. So now let's explain an interesting detail regarding the old (first) beast to help the reader understand more about this beast.

Heaven's Perspective of the Beast

In God's Kingdom Christ is the head of the church and we make up the body and when the church allows Christ to have the authority over the body then anything is possible such as instant healings and miracles. Unfortunately in most churches the pastor believes he is the head (the authority) of the church body and does not allow Christ to function in the body. When Christ is the head of the body then the body does all the right things and makes the right decisions. If Christ is not, then the pastor/deacons are making those decisions and the Adversary loves those prideful people who put themselves above Christ.

The Adversary has known the pride of man ever since the Garden of Eden! This is why the Adversary chose to make man the head (the authority) of the Beast instead of the body. The Adversary freely gives man power and even his throne in Pergamum only to award man with eternal damnation. (To destroy a child, just spoil them!). This is why the Beast has so many heads. Each head is a King with a kingdom and each head is recorded in the book of Daniel.

Now the body of the Beast (not the heads) is the Adversary himself. And without the body the heads cannot function. So when Christ tosses the Adversary into the Abyss to start off His Day of Vengeance and His Year of Redemption and begin His Millennial Reign, then this verse from Revelation 17:8 is fulfilled, "The beast that once was, now is not, and then it will come up from the abyss." After the 1000 years of Christ's Reign the Adversary, the body of the beast, will be released and come up from the abyss and it will have a new description with two horns (kings/rulers/gods) of a lamb.

So to sum up, Christ is the Head and His people make up the body. However, the Adversary is the body of his church, 'religion', Beast, and men make up the heads. Again, after the beast (Satan) is released from the Abyss, he will have two horns: the king himself (the Adversary) and the False Prophet. But this 8th Beast is alive today and the Beast is the dominant religion that has ruled the Middle East for hundreds of years. The Beast is the religion that opposes the God of the Jewish people and the God that Christians who believe in the Son of God serve; the anti-Christian and anti-Jewish religion of the Middle East today is Islam. Again, there is more about this later.

Separating the Horns in Daniel

Do you remember why the resurrection was so confusing? It was because some knuckleheads blended all the Scriptures together and created one "rapture". The same problem exists today regarding the horns in Daniel chapters 7 and 8.

Horns are Kings and specifically two separate horns from the book of Daniel have been blended together to form an intoxicating creation called the Antichrist. This Antichrist is used by churches, theaters and people worldwide to scare man to a submissive state under a religious regime existing within Christianity. Much religious doctrine has been created around this Antichrist person who is supposed to arrive sometime during a fantasy seven-year tribulation time to plague man and destroy man and hurt people and do horrible, horrible things. The fact is that the avatar Antichrist is a lie!

If you do not study the Word of God for yourself you can and possibly will fall to the many, many religious doctrines that the world has to offer. This is why God does not like lazy people. However, God is a loving God and Merciful. He does understand who you are and where you came from and He loves you more than you will ever know. Accept His Grace!

The Two individual Horns of Daniel are simply this; the **First Horn** (Daniel 8) emerges out of one of the four horns (four kingdoms) from the goat's single Horn. This horn is also known as the seventh King/kingdom. The **Second Horn** (Daniel 7) will emerge from the 10 horns (ten kingdoms) under the eighth King/kingdom about 3000 years later.

**Note** : Don't confuse these two horns of Daniel 7 and 8 with the two horns in Revelation on the newer eighth beast that emerges out of the abyss. These are two separate topics for the moment to help the reader understand easier.

The Horn from our History

The First Horn in Daniel 8 is the seventh King of Daniel 11. It comes from one of the kingdoms of the Leopard that has the four heads; the North Kingdom, the South kingdom, the East kingdom or the West kingdom. The First Horn (in our history) emerges from one of the four horns left over by the prominent Horn of the goat also known as the kingdom of Greece. This Horn is described in Daniel 11:21-39 (as the 7th King) and as the 'little horn' of Daniel 8:9-12 and Daniel 8:23-26. This is the Horn that destroyed Jerusalem and God's Temple in 70 A.D.

The Horn That Is To Come

The Second Horn comes almost 3000 years later AFTER the 10 Kings who will join together to destroy Saudi Arabia in one hour. The Second Horn emerges **after** the Beast comes up out of the Abyss. This means that it is **after** the millennial reign of Christ when the Second Horn emerges. This second Horn is a false prophet possessed by the Adversary. He and his false prophet (the new 2 horn 8th beast) arrive on the scene to unite the last religious kingdom together and eventually gather his followers to battle against the King of Kings and His Army at the battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon). An example of the events in order are: the Adversary/ 8th Beast is struck with the Sword (locked up in the Abyss), the Third Resurrection occurs, the 10 Kings destroy Saudi Arabia in one hour, the physical return of Christ to Jerusalem, Christ's Millennial Reign (1000 yrs.), the Adversary is released, the false prophet emerges and unites the haters of the One True God, and then the battle of Har Megiddo occurs resulting in the destruction of all those who oppose the loving, full of grace and merciful God of heaven.

Now let's continue reviewing these kings, kingdoms and beasts.

Daniels Vision at the Ulai Canal (Daniel 8)

Daniel was in the third year of the reign of the Second King, King Belshazzar, when God gave him the vision of the things to come. This is after King Nebuchadnezzar died which is why Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom is not mentioned in the vision. So of course the vision begins with the Ram with two horns. One horn of the Ram is longer than the other, which is the same as the bear raised up on one side from Daniel chapter 7. The bear and the ram are the same; they are the kings of the Medes and Persians. They are represented by one animal because their law and religion of the two kingdoms is the same.

The Ram has two horns with one longer than the other. The longer horn is the King of the Persians who undoubtedly stirs up the kingdom of Greece. After agitating Greece, Greece retaliates. The male goat with a prominent Horn that strikes the ram is the King of Greece. But after victoriously defeating Persia, the Horn/King of Greece is broken into four smaller Horns/Kings. These four smaller horns are the four heads on the Leopard of Daniel 7.

Daniel 8:9 Out of one of them came a little horn which grew extremely big in the direction of the South and East, and with prominence.

Attention to detail is the key to organizing each topic. This 'Little Horn' cannot come from the four horns in chapter 8 and also from the 10 horns in chapter 7. **That just doesn't make sense!** The fact is there are two different little horns that are being described in each of these chapters. The Horn of chapter 7 is the Adversary (possessing the false prophet) who reappears after the millennial reign of Christ. And the Horn of chapter 8 is the King that destroys Jerusalem and the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and he is also the seventh King of Daniel 11.

The truth about this 7th King of Babylon and what he has done has for some reason been hidden throughout time in the Scriptures. One might assume that this was possibly a deliberate act to confuse those seeking the truth. But it is very possible that someone doesn't want Christians to understand the Truth. The Truth will set you free; freedom to know and understand future events so that we as High Priests of the Most High God will not fear what will come upon this earth. We, as High Priests are to stand firm against the enemy in spiritual and physical warfare not allowing the enemy to gain any ground because **we are High Priests of ADONAI!** If a person fears the future then that persons future becomes tainted with worries and despair and that IS NOT what our Lord has for you!!

If you think that any future battle will be lost then why bother to prepare for it? This is the hope of the enemy, **to have you quit before you even try!!**

The Seven Kings/Kingdoms of the Beast of Daniel 11

When the Book of Revelation references the Beast with seven heads it is the Beast of Babylon/Middle East of the past. A seven headed beast that began with King Nebuchadnezzar and ended with the seventh King who destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple. Reviewing the Kings of Daniel 11, we have the following.

D31b – Charting the Beast of Daniel and Revelation

Problems with the Interpretation

A serious problem has occurred with the translation from the original Hebrew in the book of Daniel to the pages of our Bible. If you noticed in Daniel 8:9 at the end of the verse is, "and in the direction of the glory." The author took the liberty to change the end of the verse to its original Hebrew meanings. So instead of saying, "and in the direction of the glory", the original Hebrew says, "and with prominence." The meanings of the second quoted words are closer to their primary Hebrew definition.

But a greater problem exists between Daniel 8:10 through Daniel 8:26 whereas the interpreters in King James time, whether deliberately or not, decided to change the meanings of many, many of the words in these verses. Here are some of these words and phrases in our Bible and what they actually mean in Hebrew [referenced from the Strong's Concordance].

Daily = to stretch; continuance; extension.

Taken = raise; to rise; raised.

Place = erect fixture; foundation.

Prince = A head person or leader of any kind.

Sanctuary = a consecrated thing or place; a palace or asylum.

Cast = to throw out, down or away.

Hosts/Army = a mass of people.

Of Heaven = aloft.

Transgression = a revolt/rebellion.

Place of sanctuary = foundation of the palace.

Regular burnt offering = the "duration" was raised.

Give = make or bring forth.

Again, these are only some of the words.

Reboot Daniel 8:10-14.

The end result from changing all the words in these verses from their original Hebrew meaning to a latter definition of those words is that the entire passage takes on a whole new meaning. When you read Daniel 8:10-14 in your Bible you are left with a mystery and confusion, but reconstructing these verses with their **primary** Hebrew definitions takes on a whole new meaning; one that is easier to understand and fulfills Middle East history back in 70 A.D.

Daniel 8:8-26 Revised from the Complete Jewish Bible

Daniel 8:8 The male goat then became extremely strong; but when it was strong, the Big Horn was broken; and in its place arose what appeared to be four horns in the directions of the four winds of heaven.

Daniel 8:9 Out of one of them came a little Horn which grew extremely big in the direction of the South and East, and with prominence.

Daniel 8:10 It magnified (twisted) "enlarged its pride and honor" to a mass of lofty people (the Jewish people); and it fell upon a mass of lofty people and heaped up and burned the land (Jerusalem) to the ground.

Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified (twisted) "enlarged his pride and honor" to the ruler of {or twisted the ruler of} the mass of lofty people (the Jewish people) and because of him the "duration" was raised and the foundation of the palace [the Jewish Temple] was thrown down.

Daniel 8:12 Through sin (because the Jewish people sinned) (i.e. they rejected the Savior) the mass of people was put in (or under) its (the 7th Kings) power, above (over) the extension (duration) – [the time of wrath God allotted for Israel] because of the revolt/rebellion [their rebellion against God], stability (truth) was cast down to the earth, and it (the 7th King) did this and prospered.

Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the speaker, "How long will this revelation be extended(daily), and the stunning revolt/rebellion (transgression) that allows the "sanctuary" (Jerusalem) and the mass of lofty people (the Jewish people) to be tread upon?"

Daniel 8:14 The first said to me, "2300 evenings and mornings (days), after which the sanctuary (Jerusalem) will be made right [i.e. order will be restored]."

Verses 15 through 18 describe an Angel helping Daniel to understand the vision.

Daniel 8:19 and (the Angel) said, "I am going to explain to you what will happen at the end of the period of [God's] fury (indignation), because it (the vision) has to do with the time at the end [The end of God's fury on the Jewish people].

To sum this up for almost 6½ years God allows the seventh King to break down the stability in Jerusalem eventually resulting in the Temple (the palace) in Jerusalem being thrown down and Jerusalem being burned to the ground. And this is due to the sin in Jerusalem and that sin was the Jewish people's rejection of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

Now it is good to have confirmation of the story of Jerusalem's destruction and God's Temple which occurred in 70 A.D. besides what Jesus told his disciples in the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The story of the seventh King in Daniel chapter 11 gives more confirmation for the revised Scriptures above however Daniel 11's Scriptures also have been misinterpreted. Again using the primary definitions that we find in the Strong's Concordance for these verses gives the reader a much greater understanding of the verses themselves.

Daniel 11's story of the 7th King that ruled Babylon – Revised

Daniel 11:21 there will arise in his place a despicable man not entitled to inherit the majesty of the kingdom (of Babylon), but he will come without warning and gain the kingdom by intrigue.

Daniel 11:22 Large armies will be broken and swept away before him, as well as the leader of the covenant (Confederacy/Alliance) [i.e. the peace alliance between the Middle East kingdoms of the North, South, East and West].

Daniel 11:23 Alliances will be made with him, but he will undermine them by deceit. Then, although he will have but a small following, he will emerge and become strong.

Daniel 11:24 Without warning, he will assail the most powerful men in each province and do things his predecessors never did, either recently or in the distant past; he will reward them with plunder, spoil and wealth while devising plots against their strongholds, but only for a time.

Daniel 11:25 He will summon his power and courage against the King of the South (Egypt) with a great army, and the King of the South (Egypt) will fight back with a very large and powerful army; but he (Egypt) will not succeed, because of plots devised against him.

Daniel 11:26 Yes, those who shared his food will destroy him (Egypt); his army will be swept away; and many will fall in the slaughter.

Daniel 11:27 These two kings, bent on mischief, will sit at the same table, speaking lies to each other; but none of this will succeed; because the appointed end will not have come yet.

Daniel 11:28 Then the King of the North (the 7th King) will return to his land with great wealth, with his heart set against the alliance (covenant) with Jerusalem, he will take action and then return home.

Daniel 11:29 At the time designated, he will come back to the South (Egypt). But this time things will turn out differently than before;

Daniel 11:30 because ships from Kittim will come upon him so that his courage will fail him (lose hope). Then as he returns he will be enraged with fury upon Jerusalem's Confederacy (alliance) and do (fury upon Jerusalem) distinguishing between (showing favor to) those whom loosen Jerusalem's Confederacy [i.e. those who relinquish their alliance with Jerusalem].

Daniel 11:31 Stretched arms will stand for an allotment, and they will bore into (dissolve [with fire]) the consecrated place [Temple] of strength (faith) [God's Temple], and will turn off (soor) [pluck away] continually/extensively, and they will give (bring forth) disgusting devastation.

Daniel 11:32 Those who act wickedly against the covenant (Jerusalem) he will corrupt with his blandishments, but the people who know their God will stand firm and prevail.

Daniel 11:33 Those among the people who have discernment will cause the rest of the people to understand what is happening; nevertheless, for a while they will fall victim to sword, fire, exile and pillage.

Daniel 11:34 When they stumble, they will receive a little help, although many who join them will be insincere.

Daniel 11:35 Even some of those with discernment will stumble, so that some of them will be refined, purified and cleansed for an end yet to come at the designated time.

Verses 28 through 31 confirm the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem was by the seventh King of Daniel 11.

More from Daniel 9

Gabriel clarified the vision regarding the 7th King more in chapter nine. He explained to Daniel that after the Messiah Christ Jesus would be 'cut off' then the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple would take place.

Daniel 9:26 Then, after the 62 weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing. The people of a prince yet to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary, but his end will come with a flood, and desolation's are decreed until the war is over.

This prince yet to come is the seventh King of the primary beast; the king of the Chaldeans. He comes and destroys the city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (God's Temple) and destructions will occur until the war is over.

Daniel 9:27 He will make a strong covenant with leaders for one week [of years]. For half of the week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.

Simply put, the seventh King will come into Jerusalem and make an agreement with the leaders of the Jewish community for seven years. Halfway through the seven years, within 3 ½ years, the seventh King will put a stop to the sacrifices and the grain offerings in Jerusalem.

The next sentence makes no sense at all, "On the wing of...". What must be done again is substitute the primary original Hebrew definitions for these words and when done it reads something like this, "The filthy will be extremely (to the edge of) stunning even until the completion of the point (wound) flows forth upon the ruined."

Now if we stay on topic it simply could mean, "The filthy (Chaldeans) will be extremely stunning even until the completion of the wound flows forth upon the ruined (Temple)." Simply, it was stunning how the Chaldeans hacked away at the Temple of God even until it was completely gone!

Notice also that the 7 years and the 3 ½ years are referencing the time of 70 A.D. which is where the 7 year "Tribulationalists" people get their 7 year tribulation timeframe from. And this is also where they use the 7th King of Daniel to get their fantasy Antichrist person! Now take a moment to think of all the impacts that those false teachings have had on people's life and their decisions.

Separating and Organizing the Descriptions of the 8th Beast

The **8th Beast** is divided into two parts; the 8th Beast **before** the Millennial Reign that has ten horns/kings/kingdoms and the 8th Beast **after** the Millennial Reign which has two horns/kings.

Most of the entirety of the 8th Beast is described in Daniel 7 but can be a little confusing unless it is organized and charted by its topics, similar to the chart below.

Now by breaking down the Chapter into the chart below makes it a lot easier to comprehend! This is also how the Book of Revelation's topics were organized to form the much needed clearer picture of our scriptures.

In the chart the 8th Beast is clearly winning against God's people **UNTIL** the Third Resurrection when Christ begins setting up for His Millennial Reign after which the Beast will be destroyed. And yet this layout agrees and can be added to Revelation's events providing more evidence for that clearer understanding of the 8th Beast of Revelation.

Putting the descriptions of the 8th Beast of Daniel into columns by the sections of verses used to describe them helps the reader to organize the events of the 8th Beast. From there the reader can view the overall 'start to finish' of the topic being described.

This same system can be used to get the overall beginning to end life of the 7th King of Daniel chapter's 8 and 11 whom allowed the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 A.D. That's your homework assignment.

But for now, the 8th Beast of Daniel 7 is charted here.

_D31c – Daniel 7 Charting the 8th Beast_

Even More from Daniel 9:24

Daniel 9:24 (CJB) Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and for your holy city for putting an end to the transgression, for making an end of sin, for forgiving iniquity, for bringing in everlasting justice, for setting the seal on vision and prophet, and for anointing the Especially Holy Place.

Daniel 9:24 (KJV) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint The Most Holy.

Since the debate of Daniels scriptures and its interpretations could go on and on to the point that this study may never get released, this will be the last verse to be given its primary defined Hebrew meaning.

Daniel 9:24 (revised with add-ins) 70, 7s (completions) have been decreed for your people and for your holy city (Jerusalem), to restrict by act or word (hold back or in) the [national, religious, moral] revolt/rebellion, to close up (seal) offenses (sins) and its penalty, to cover [with bitumen – black hydrocarbons (pitch, tar)] perversity (moral evil), to go (or come) concealed (veiled from site) the (national, moral or legal) right [just, what is right, power, privilege, belonging to one by law or nature or God], and to close up the revelation (of) a prophet (Daniel), and to rub with oil (anoint) a sacred place or thing.

In essence a certain amount of time was determined for the Jewish people of Jerusalem. At the end of that time these following items will be put to rest. The rebellion against God would end, the people's sin and its penalty would be forgiven, all the moral evil will be put into hell, the Messiah (true righteousness) would come to Jerusalem concealed, the prophecies of Daniel will be sealed up, and a sacred place or thing will get anointed.

But (verse 26) after the 62 weeks the Chaldeans under the order of the 7th King of Kasdim will destroy Jerusalem and its Temple leaving the Messiah with nothing to return to. This means that if there is going to be a future temple in Jerusalem, then it will be rebuilt after the Messiah returns to Jerusalem. This agrees with other Old Testament books regarding the rebuilding of Jerusalem and possibly it's Temple after the Messiah puts his feet down in Jerusalem on that Day of Atonement. This may also suggest that when the Messiah returns that He Himself will anoint the sacred place (because He is standing there) where the Temple was destroyed in order to sanctify and cleanse the ground to make it holy, possibly insinuating that the Temple in Jerusalem may be rebuilt.

The 8th Beast is Defeated

Daniel 11:45 Finally, when he pitches the tents of his palace between the seas and the mountain of the holy glory, he will come to his end, with no one to help him.

Finally when he, the 8th beast (the Adversary), pitches the tents of his palace between the seas and the mountains he will be destroyed and no one will be able to help him.

Understand that when Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and me he also liberated the earth and heaven from the Adversary. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; this is what Jesus Christ did! He bound sin on earth and bound up the sin (the Adversary) in heaven. But then He cast that Adversary down to earth with man for us to deal with him. As a Christian it is your moral and legal right to bind up the Adversary and sin anywhere and everywhere you go! You are to command it through prayer and institute it with action! But at the same time a Christian can do this with love and kindness while showing no tolerance with the sin.

Now an Antichrist person was developed by the Adversary himself to have everyone live in fear of evil. Is this how the High Priests of God should be acting? Are beaten armies feared? Does a dead animal pose a threat?

The Adversary, not an Antichrist, is alive and well and dwelling with man somewhere on the earth. His authority in heaven and earth was stripped away. This is why he developed the 8th Beast, so that he may still have a kingdom. His efforts are recognized in the art of deceiving man. Just ask an ordinary person living on earth today about who God is and they will fill your ear with religion. But those that have a heart for God seek Him and know their God personally.

The Adversary will lose his kingship and religious (8th Beast) kingdom when Christ Jesus YESHUA the Messiah returns to set up His eternal Kingdom. But then he will be released at the end of 1000years to deceive many to their destruction.

Understand that as a Christian you have Power and Authority over the Adversary and those that follow him. This is a power and authority not of flesh and blood but of principalities and powers. It is a fight won primarily by prayer through and by the Spirit of the Most High God. Yet, since Faith without works is dead, it is also won in battle. The Crusaders understood this as the Adversary's religion grew. And they fought!

Today, it is the same fight. Islam approaches waving the banner of peace as gentle as a Lamb but in reality it speaks like a Dragon. The words in its religion have no tolerance for anyone who does not accept their religion. Walid Shoebat has documented many years of genocide, rape, murder, mutilation and molestation from the 8th Beast so far while the world looks away. As a Christian under Jesus Christ it is your duty to stand against the Adversary and his beast.

When Christ Jesus locks up the Adversary in the abyss to begin His millennial reign, the Adversary and his religion will come to its end, for a time. The Adversary will be locked up and the Whore will be destroyed!

Daniel 12

Daniel 12:1 "When that time comes, Michael, the great prince who champions your people, will stand up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they (the Chaldeans, Babylonians, Saudi Arabians) became a nation and that moment."

Basically "they" will be living the 'good life' until that moment at their end. Iran will launch and utterly destroy Saudi Arabia.

Daniel 12:1 Continued "At that time, your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book."

The new interpretation of the Book of Revelation showing God's **Revelations of Grace and Mercy** reveals that on the same day within one hour of the destruction of Saudi Arabia, Daniel's people, the Jewish people, will be delivered and everyone else whose name is found written in the Book of Life! This is another confirmation from the book of Daniel that our interpretation of the Book of Revelation is right on!

Daniel 12:2 "Many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and abhorrence.

Simply put, if you did not catch it, Daniel 12:2 is stating (a possibility) that at the Third Resurrection **all** , and I am saying all, of the Jewish people will be resurrected! Some of them, who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, will be given everlasting life. And some of them, the remainder of the Jewish people, will be resurrected back to their physical bodies. And having refused their own prophesied Messiah they will live a life of shame and abhorrence during the Millennial Reign.

Again, none of the 'Third Resurrected' will be given their immortal bodies yet. However, once those who accepted Christ are raised at the Third Resurrection, their resurrection will be a resurrection of eternal life compared to those nonbelieving Jews that are resurrected at the third resurrection who will inadvertently die at some time. Is it possible that those nonbelieving Jews get a second chance at the Forth Resurrection? I believe that our loving and merciful full of grace, lifesaving God is full of more than just second chances! Now who would be stupid enough to make that mistake twice?

Daniel 12:3 But those who can discern will shine like the brightness of heaven's dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever.

AMEN!

Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases.

I believe just as I stated earlier in this book that the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the true and only King of the Jews, will be returning at His time back to Jerusalem to begin His Millennial Reign. He is not coming to punish His people, He is coming to **love** His people and bring them back to the Father ADONAI.

To understand Jesus, put yourself in His "shoes". After conquering death, hell and the grave (at the cross), and kicking the Adversary out of heaven you empower your people and ascend to the Father. From heaven you watch your people exercising their new power and authority over evil. Those who study the Word of God and exercise the gifts that you gave them, you call them faithful and true. But there are others down there that claim to be yours but they neither read the Word of God nor do they attempt any gifts, power or authority that you shed your blood for. There are also others who claim to be yours but neither believes in you nor do they believe in your power and authority that you received after your death and resurrection. What are you going to do with these people? Then there are devout Muslims down there who believe they are serving the one true God. Every day they fight for a King they know nothing of because the Adversary has deceived them. These are the ones you want, the fighters who will stand up for your name and not hide cowardly somewhere or ignore you. There are stories of the Jewish Messiah literally appearing to Muslim individuals who cry out to Him.

– Somewhere is your time to shine for the Kingdom of Heaven! Every day is an opportunity to serve the One True God in Heaven and His Kingdom. Every day is a day wasted when you do not. Remove your heart from this temporary life and begin living for the Eternal Life! Your time is quickly running out! Amen.
CHAPTER 32 - REVELATION 12, 13 & 17

Before he became known as the Adversary, Lucifer was an Angel who was serving the Lord God Almighty. Throughout history he has had many names; Morning Star, Son of the Dawn, King of Bavel (Babylon), Satan and Dragon. His ruthlessness to man gave him the name Dragon [an actual fierce sea creature created by God called Leviathan in Job 40 and 41 misinterpreted in some translations as an alligator].This angel Lucifer turned away from God and also hates man to the point of genocide.

The Adversary began as a loner with a quest for power and kingship. So he acquired both by deceiving Adam in the Garden. He then tried to build a bridge to heaven for his kingdom but it failed with massive communication breakdown at the Tower of Bavel. Another quest for supreme rule ended with a flooded planet, but he didn't stop there. In Revelation 12:3 his corporation is viewed as a great red dragon (Kasdim and the Roman Empire). This Red Dragon tried to devour the child (Messiah) that the woman (Israel) is giving birth to, but again, he failed.

After a complete corporate meltdown (because Christ won the victory at the Cross) and all the executives were sentenced to jail awaiting trial (the angels who followed Satan were taken captive)[Jude1:6], the Dragon (notice he's not red anymore; perhaps because the allegiance with the Romans is over) had to rethink his strategy.

(Revelation 12:18) Then the dragon stood on the seashore;

The most important for this study is the Adversary's corporation, the Beast and the 'whore' whom rides on the Beast (Saudi Arabia living off the backs of fellow Arabs). The whore is destroyed on the Day of Vengeance by the Beast, whom itself is destroyed after the battle of Har Megiddo. But this wasn't always the label of the Adversary's corporation; it has had many forms of religion throughout his 6000 year career. These religions are recorded as the creature that comes up out of the sea and is called a 'beast'. Each head of the Beast is a dominant religious kingdom of the Adversary throughout the Adversary's career. But for today, the Beast is the anti-Christ religion of the Middle East, Islam.

When John saw the Beast he saw the overall 'portrait' or 'family crest' of the creature from heaven's "finished" perspective. This creature is the same dreadful creature from the book of Daniel.

Just for the record, there is no coming Antichrist person. There is a False Prophet coming after the Millennial Reign but there is no such thing as an Antichrist person coming to plague the minds and hearts of man for 7 years. This Antichrist person was birthed by misinterpretations of the books of Daniel and Revelation. The evil person that "Tribulationalists" are waiting for has already come and destroyed Jerusalem and it's Temple back in 70 A.D.

Revelation 12

Now let's examine Revelation 12 with its timespan of about 2000 years long and unlock this parable.

Revelation 12:1-2 Now a great sign was seen in heaven – a woman clothed with the sun, under her feet the moon, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. She was pregnant and about to give birth, and she screamed in agony of labor.

This is an astronomer's event viewed in the sky, from Earth, which told the "Wise men" that the Christ Child is born.

Revelation 12:3-4 Another sign was seen in heaven: there was a great red dragon with seven heads and 10 horns, and on its heads were seven royal crowns. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of heaven and threw them down to the earth. It stood in front of the woman about to give birth, so that it might devour the child the moment it was born.

When this Scripture tells you about a beast with seven heads and 10 horns it is explaining that this is a religion from the Adversary. The description allows the reader to research other scriptures to identify who and what this beast is. The red could represent the Roman Empire or it could represent the bloodshed from the Romans as they slaughtered all the Jewish male children in an attempt to destroy the Christ King. The Adversary used his authority over the nations to try and destroy the Christ child.

Revelation 12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, the one who will rule all the nations with a staff of iron. But her child was snatched up to God and his throne;

Here, Christ will rule the nations with a staff of iron, but not yet. He was snatched up to God at His death on the cross but He will return to rule all nations with a staff of iron during His millennial reign.

Revelation 12:6 and she fled into the desert, where she has a place prepared by God so that she can be taken care of for 1260 days.

She is Israel who had to flee in 70 A.D. from the Adversary's nations. God's preparation is just that; God always has a plan. He preserved His people the Israelites while the Adversary pursued them (so she can be (future tense) taken care of for 1260 days).

Revelation 12:7 Next there was a battle in heaven – Michael and his Angels fought against the Dragon, and the Dragon and his Angels fought back.

Immediately after His death on the cross Christ received ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY in heaven, on the earth, and in the earth. He sent His Angels to throw out the Adversary and his followers.

Revelation 12:8 but it was not strong enough to win, so that there was no longer any place for them in heaven.

Revelation 12:9 The great Dragon was thrown out, that ancient serpent, also known as the Devil and Satan [the Adversary], the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled down to the earth, and his Angels were hurled down with him.

Notice the dragon is not Red anymore. The passion of hatred anger is lowered.

Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "Now have come God's victory, power and kingship, and the Authority of His Messiah; because the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them day and night before God, has been thrown out!

The Adversary lost his authority in heaven 2000 years ago but that does not stop him from accusing everyone day and night before the Throne of God.

Revelation 12:11 "They defeated him because of the lambs blood and because of the message of their witness. Even when facing death they did not cling to life."

"They" are the holy people who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior even to the point of death (focused during the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.) and are victorious because the Lamb shed His blood for them! Understand that as a Christian you may die at the hands of the Adversary; however you are victorious because you will receive eternal life after your death. And the Adversary will have lost that battle and failed in his objective to destroy you. And understand that the battle is not for your flesh and blood but for your eternal soul!

Revelation 12:12 "Therefore, rejoice, heaven and you who live there! But woe to you, land and sea, for the Adversary has come down to you, and he is very angry, because he knows that his time is short!"

Again, the land is Jerusalem and the sea is the nations. Woe to you Jerusalem because you are about to be destroyed (in 70 A.D.). And woe to you nations because the Adversary hates man! Before Adam sinned in the garden Lucifer was the pride of nations but his pride became his downfall. He wanted to be like the Most High, he wanted man to look up to him, to worship him because he was a glorious creature to uphold with sparkling jewels and beauty (Isaiah 14). So God disciplined his pride and left him in contempt. In wanting his authority back, he decided to steal it from man. And so he did, in the garden, cause man to fall from Grace. There God cursed His adversary and the land, man and woman, for the required time of completion (7). So for the next 7000 years man is on trial. But God is full of Grace, Love and Mercy and we can see these things fulfilled throughout time.

Revelation 12:13-17 When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child. (14) But the woman was given two wings of the great Eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where she is taking care of for a season and two seasons and half a season, away from the serpent's presence. (15) The serpent spewed water like a River out of its mouth after the woman, in order to sweep her away in the flood; (16) but the land (region of the earth) came to her rescue – it opened its mouth and swallowed up the River which the Dragon had spewed out of its mouth. (17)The Dragon was infuriated over the woman and went off to fight the rest of her children, those who obey God's commands and bear witness to YESHUA.

After the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D., Israel fled to the desert (many nations). And since then the Adversary has been relentless in his pursuit of the destruction of God's people as they hid amongst the nations. This fulfills the main idea of the paragraph. But also there are a few hidden meanings so let's get a clearer picture of these verses using the primary definitions for some of these words from the original Greek.

Verse 14 seems to suggest that the woman (Israel) flees out into the desert to escape the Dragon and is taking care of for 3 ½ seasons away from the Dragon. But if we change some of these words to their primary Greek definitions then the verse takes on a whole new idea. So here's what the verse says with their primary Greek definitions.

(Verse 14, revised) But the woman (Israel) was given the two feathers of the powerful and majestic Eagle (Angel), so that she could fly to a location where she could take solitude and be convoluted (that is, woven in, intermixed, or integrated among the nations) for the 1260 (years), away from the serpent's presence.

Now the revised verse fits history a whole lot better than its original verse 14 definitions. Why, because Israel did flee to other nations where they were integrated or woven 'mixed in' with the other nations (similar to iron being mixed with clay). And since the word 'season' is never defined in the Greek as a specific amount of time, the entire context of "a season and two seasons and half a season" does suggest 3 ½ seasons which could match 1260 years, if a season is 360 years; 360 being a complete cycle. And also remember that this takes place after Christ's victorious resurrection, after the cross.

Revelation 12:15 The serpent spewed water like a River out of its mouth after the woman, in order to sweep her away in the flood;

(Revised and defined from figurative language) The Adversary threw out a heavy shower/storm out of a crack in the earth after the people of Israel, in order to overwhelm the people of Israel with the storm;

Revelation 12:16 but the land came to her rescue – it opened its mouth and swallowed up the River which the Dragon had spewed out of its mouth.

(Revised) But the ground came to Israel's rescue – it opened up a crack and swallowed up the storm which the Adversary had spewed out of its mouth.

Revelation 12:17 The Dragon was infuriated over the woman and went off to fight the rest of her children, those who obey God's commands and bear witness to YESHUA.

The Adversary lost the entire battle after 70 A.D. and the people of Israel became scattered throughout the nations. God kept Israel alive as they were interwoven with other nations until the time came for them to return to their own land.

Now the Adversary had lost his authority on the earth but that didn't stop him from making himself a recognized god in the Middle East. He began planning a new religion immediately after his defeat.

(Revelation 12:18) Then the dragon stood on the seashore;

The verse above is not located in verse 18 of chapter 12 in the King James Version. In the KJV this verse was moved and added into Revelation 13:1 and gives the context as, "Then I stood on the seashore". This makes the reader believe that it is John standing by the seashore when the original Greek does not imply this. It is the Dragon, the sea serpent (the serpent of the sea (nations)), that finds himself in a dilemma regarding his destruction of mankind and is viewing the nations (standing on the seashore) determining his next course of action.

So to sum up chapter 12 of Revelation, for us, it is simply a history lesson. This history lesson began just before Christ was born and followed through Christ's death and resurrection and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. when the Adversary totally failed in his attempt to destroy the new 'age of faith and grace ' that our Lord and Savior gave His life for.

Also, throughout our history everyone has recognized the 12th chapter of the book of Revelation as an interruption in the overall linear translation of the book because it was easy to understand and comprehend. But then they would continue with their linear translation of the book of Revelation. Chapter 12 is the hint that the book of Revelation is not a linear translation. It jumps to and fro, back and forth and this is how it should be recognized and studied. Daniel told us that for our knowledge to increase we must go to and fro, back and forth.

Revelation 17 & 13

Now to fully understand what chapter 13 is referencing or talking about we must first examine chapter 17. And the key verse of chapter 17 is always overlooked and that key verse is the very first one.

Revelation 17:1 Then came one of the Angels with the seven bowls; and he said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is sitting by many waters.

Notice that the Angel has seven bowls. While holding these bowls he approaches John and says, "Hey, come with me, I want to show you the judgment on those people that destroyed my Temple who are lounging around all those other nations". Now since every being in heaven can be regarded as an Angel by definition then we might be able to assume that this particular Angel is Christ himself. But this is just a theory. However what is more important is the **timing** of this event. This Angel is delivering the seven bowls to the seven Angels that have the seven plagues. And he has not delivered the bowls yet meaning that this is the Angel in Revelation 15:7 and this Angel is one of the four living beings which also support the idea that this 'Angel' is Christ and that He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

What this all means is that this event in Revelation 17:1 is taking place immediately after the seven Angels receive the seven shofars and before the seven Angels receive the seven bowls. So the timing fits perfectly when this Angel comes to show John the 'very near future' destruction of the whore of Babylon immediately before her destruction. And just for review from Revelation 20, we also remember that the first thing Christ does is bind up the Adversary and lock him in the abyss for the 1000 years. So, given that circumstance, the hidden meaning of the Beast in Revelation 17:8 is now easier to understand.

Revelation 17:8 The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on earth whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not, but is to appear.

Understand that when the Angel approaches and speaks to John, the beast (the 8th Beast) that was (alive, present), but now it is not. This is because now at this time the Adversary is locked in the abyss for the 1000 years where our Lord Jesus Christ put him at the beginning of the Year of Redemption and His Day of Vengeance. Amen! And his religion (the 8th Beast) is shut down, but will appear again when he (the Adversary) will come up from the abyss. And when he comes up from the abyss, he will open it because Christ gives him the key so that the "test coming upon everyone who is on the earth" (at the 5th shofar) can begin.

His Word is easy to understand when His Spirit speaks to you and when you listen to Him!

_D32a – Was, Not and Will Be_

Heaven's Perspective of the Beast, again

In God's Kingdom Christ is the head of the church and we make up the body and when the church allows Christ to be the head of the body then anything is possible. Unfortunately in most churches the pastor believes he is the head of the church body and doesn't allow Christ to function in the body. If Christ fully functioned in the church body today there would be no one in those churches who is sick, poor, dying, crippled, hungry etc. The fact is that the Adversary loves those prideful pastors who put themselves above Christ.

Again, the Adversary knows the pridefulness of man ever since the Garden of Eden. This is why the Adversary chose to make men the head of the beast instead of the body. The Adversary freely gives man power and even his throne in Pergamum only to award man with eternal damnation. This is why the beast has so many heads. Each head is a king with a religious kingdom and each head is recorded in the book of Daniel.

Now the body of the beast (not the heads) is the Adversary himself. And without the body the heads cannot function. So when Christ tosses the Adversary into the abyss to start off His Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption and to begin His millennial reign then this verse is fulfilled, "the beast that once was, now is not, and will come up from the abyss". After the millennial reign of Christ, Christ Himself will still be in Jerusalem so the Adversary (the body of the beast) will come up from the abyss and will take what is left of the eighth beast and rebirth it into and new eighth beast; a new 8th Beast with Two Horns. And these two horns are the Adversary himself and the False Prophet.

Revelation 17:11 The beast which once was and now is not is an eighth King; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction.

After studying Daniel, Revelation 17:11 is proof that the final religion of the Adversary is the same religion in ancient times as far back as King Nebuchadnezzar. This is because the Eighth Beast comes from the beast with the seven heads also known as the "first" beast.

Interpreting the Wound

Revelation 13:3 One of the heads of the beast appeared to have received a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed after the beast in amazement.

Revelation 13:14 It deceives the people living on earth by the miracles it is allowed to perform in the presence of the beast, and it tells them to make an image, honoring the beast that was struck by the sword but came alive again.

These two verses are not talking about the same event. The main reason for this is because Revelation 13:3 is referencing from the beast with the seven heads while Revelation 13:14 is referencing the eighth beast.

In verse three the word 'One' also means 'First' in the original Greek. This would suggest that the first head of the beast is the one with the wound, not the seventh. And the first Head was King Nebuchadnezzar.

Now the eighth beast that was struck by the sword is definitely referencing Christ as the "Word of God", "the Sword" locking up (striking) the Adversary for the 1000 years.

THE 8th BEAST, Revelation 13

The Eighth Beast simply has the same god/religion as the First Beast with the seven heads, the one identified in the book of Daniel.

The Eighth Beast begins its career in Revelation chapter 13 as the Adversary's new religion after he is kicked out of heaven (2000 years ago) and when he lost his authority. And the Adversary is the God of that religion.

Revelation 13:1 and I saw a beast come up out of the sea, with 10 horns and seven heads. On its horns were 10 Royal crowns and on its heads blasphemous names.

The beast above that comes, or is birthed from the Middle East nations is the Eighth Beast. It is birthed sometime after the events of 70 A.D. After his defeat the Adversary had to rethink his strategy in order to destroy as many people as he possibly can. And what better way to destroy man than to create another religion that he can fine tune along the way.

Revelation 13:2 The beast which I saw was like a Leopard, but with feet like those of a Bear and a mouth like the mouth of a Lion. To it the Dragon gave its power, its throne and great authority.

The Eighth Beast is composed of nations that dwell in the same regions as the Babylonian Empires of the First Beast. The Leopard consists of land as far north as Asia Minor to Egypt in the South and from the Mediterranean Sea through the deserts of Arabia. The bear consists of land that was controlled by the Medes and the Persians. And the lion, the greatest region of them all, is the land that was controlled by King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian empire.

The 8th Beast (Islam) will be (is) based in the Middle East nations. Its power (bear) will reach as far as the Medes and the Persians did. But the words (mouth) of the 8th Beast (Islam) will reach as far as the Babylonian Empire of King Nebuchadnezzar.

I can honestly say that it has fulfilled its prophetic destiny, and then some!

Revelation 17:12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 Kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as Kings for one hour, along with the beast.

Revelation 17:13 They have one mind and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

The 10 Kings of the Eighth Beast will destroy Saudi Arabia.

Revelation 13:4 They worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who can fight against it?"

"They" are well aware of who the god is that they worship. If only "they" could hear the message of Grace regarding the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The 8th Beast's Progress

(Revelation 13:5-7) It was given a mouth speaking arrogant blasphemies; and it was given authority to act for 42 months. So it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God to insult his name and his Sh'khinah, and those living in heaven; it was allowed to make war on God's holy people and to defeat them; and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

The Eighth Beast is given special authority for 42 months which is 1260 days. But these are days of years. So the beast is given authority for 1260 years to make war on God's holy people and to defeat them and have authority over every tribe, people, language and nation in the Middle East as well as the ability to open its mouth and blaspheme God and insult His Name and the Place of His Glory (which was the Temple Mount). And as Ellis Skolfield noted in his book "Islam in the End Times", these 1260 years 'of blasphemies against God to insult His Name and His Holy Place' began in 688 A.D. with the construction of the Islamic' Dome of the Rock on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem until 1948 when Israel became a nation again where they could again pray on the Temple Mount (the Wailing Wall). The Islamic dome of the rock insults God's holy place in Jerusalem even though some say the Dome of the Rock is outside the temple area. But does God in heaven allow the Adversary a seat at His Glory or Throne?

(Revelation 13:8) Everyone living on earth will worship it except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

Even though the statement is based for the Middle East, it's relative to the entire world. The Lamb saved the world but if you believe the Lie from the Adversary, any lie, or any religion that teaches anything but the Truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your name will not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life, meaning, you are destined for hell.

(Revelation 13:9-10) Those who have ears, let them hear! "If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword is to be killed!" This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!

This verse was written 2000 years ago for the people enduring the hardship of this 8th Beast. Basically there wasn't much hope for a Christian's life in the Middle East at that time but these people had to trust in God for their eternal life. It is possible that the souls under the altar are some of these people who had to endure such hard times by being a slave under Islam or those who were being killed for not worshipping the Islamic Beast.

The 8th Beast Gets a Facelift

Revelation 13:11-18 gives us a look at a new and improved Beast after the Millennial Reign. Here the Adversary has a new tactic and brings in a new revision to his religious Beast to deceive the nations of the world and drive them to destroy God's people. This revised 8th Beast has Two Horns and seems peaceful like a lamb but in fact it is the same old Dragon in disguise.

(Revelation 13: 11-12) Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like those of a Lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence; it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, the one whose fatal wound had been healed.

The Two Horns are the Adversary and the False Prophet. They will rebirth the old religion and demand the loyalty of its subjects.

Revelation 13:13-14 It [the False Prophet] performs great miracles, even causing fire to come down from heaven onto the earth as people watch. It deceives the people living on the earth by the miracles it is allowed to perform in the presence of the beast [the Adversary(s) religion], and it tells them to make an image honoring the beast [the Adversary(s) religion] that was struck by the sword [locked up for the Millennial Reign] but came alive again.

The "fire" and miracles used to deceive the people must be quite spectacular. But the God of gods allows these deceptions because the people refused to believe the Truth.

Revelation 13:15 It was allowed to put breath into the image of the beast so that the image of the beast could even speak; it was allowed to cause anyone who would not worship the image of the beast to be put to death.

The false prophet is able to bring life to what the beast represents. The false prophet is a good public speaker. He has anyone killed who will not agree with this religion. Or there is a more demonic answer in the revision below.

Revelation 13:15 (revised) It was allowed to bring forth the spirit that represents the beast (the Adversary), so that the image (representative) of the beast could even speak; it was allowed to cause anyone who will not worship the representative to be put to death.

No one has ever made sense of Revelation 13:15. The revised Revelation 13:15 is taken from more prominent words of their Greek definition. After the Millennial Reign, after the Adversary is released, the false prophet is allowed to literally bring forth the spirit of the Adversary who may enter into (possess) the man known as the False Prophet. This is known as simple demonic possession.

Revelation 13:16-18 Also it forces everyone – great and small, rich and poor, free and slave – to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead preventing anyone from buying or selling unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This is where wisdom is needed; those who understand should count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person, and its number is 666.

Walid Shoebat explained that the numeric value of the quote "Allah is God and Mohammed is his prophet" is 666. This is just another piece of evidence pointing towards a fact that Islam is the Adversary's religion. And what has started with Isis today will be more prevalent after the millennial reign. The value of the 666 will be on everyone's right arm, or forehead, that follows the beast to its destruction.

A second and more reinforcing interpretation of the 8th Beast comes with help from Revelation 17.

(Revelation 17:7-8) Then the angel said to me, "Why are you astounded? I will tell you the hidden meaning of the woman and of the beast with seven heads and 10 horns that was carrying her. The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on earth whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not, but is to appear.

The body of the eighth beast will be smitten by the Word of God. Christ Jesus will lock up the Adversary (the body of the beast) for His millennial kingdom and then release him after the 1000 years are over. Those people destined for destruction will follow the Adversary, the eighth beast, when it rises from the abyss.

(Revelation 17:9-10) This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is sitting; also they are seven kings – five have fallen, one is living now and the other is yet to come; and when he does come, he must remain only a little while.

This was the First Beast of Daniel. The 6th King was alive when John was taken up to Heaven. The 'other yet to come' is the 7th King that destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 A.D. This means the Book of Revelation was written before Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D.

Revelation 17:11 The beast which once was and now is not is an eighth King; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction.

The 8th King is the Adversary! The beast that 'once was and now is not' will be destroyed!

Now the Islamic community is waiting for a prophet to unite all of Islam against their enemies. The Adversary will possess this False Prophet (whom of course is not a prophet from the God of the Jews) and they will deceive an uncountable amount of people and bring them to battle the King of Kings at Har Megiddo. So the conclusion is that the Adversary and the False Prophet are the Two Horns guiding the Beast to its destruction against the Lamb, Lord God Almighty.

Revelation 17:14 "They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with him."

The False Prophet

Second Thessalonians 2:3-5 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way. For the day (Day of ADONAI – Har Megiddo) will not come until after the Apostasy defection from truth; forsake; falling away; divorce; withdraw or desertion from truth has come and the man (the False Prophet) who separates himself from Torah (God's Word) has been revealed, the one destined for doom. (4)He [the False Prophet] will oppose himself [above all that is called God] to everything that people call a God or make an object of worship; he [the false prophet] will put himself above them all, so that he will sit [settle or tarry] in the temple [to dwell-in a fane or shrine; a dwelling] of God [not in Jerusalem] and proclaim that he [the False Prophet] himself is God.

Don't you remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you these things?

Second Thessalonians 2:6-8 And now you know what is restraining [possessing], so that he [the Adversary] may be revealed in his own time [And now ye know what withholdeth (to hold down; have, hold fast, keep in memory, make toward, let, possess, retain, seize on) that he might be revealed in his time]. (7)For already this separating from the Torah [God's Word] is at work secretly, but it will be secretly only until he [the Adversary] who is restraining [withholdeth; possessing] is out of the way. (8)Then the one [the Adversary] who embodies separation from Torah will be revealed, the one whom the Lord YESHUA will slay with the breath of his mouth [at the Feast of Trumpets] and destroy by the glory of his coming [after the 7th Shofar].

Second Thessalonians 2:9-12 When this man [the False Prophet] who avoids Torah comes, the adversary will give him the power to work all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders. He will enable him to deceive, in all kinds of wicked ways, those who are headed for destruction because they would not receive the love of the truth that could have saved them. This is why God is causing them to go astray, so that they will believe the lie. The result will be that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken their pleasure in wickedness, will be condemned.

The False Prophet is allowed by God to deceive the people living on the earth for the sole purpose to finalize those people's hearts against the One True God in Heaven. The False Prophet's power will only be limited to those people who hate God. The haters of God will follow the false prophet to their destruction and eternal damnation.

God's people will enjoy their time with their God. They will follow their God to an already victorious battle against the Adversary and False Prophet (that 2 horned 8th Beast). And the victory is ours because of Christ Jesus. The victory is ours today as well as yesterday and tomorrow. One must accept the victory even before the battle because with Eternal Life one can never be defeated.

The purpose of the TRUTH is to bring YOU to an eternal life with the Creator! Leave behind what is temporary and embrace the victorious eternal life that One Man gave His Life for you to receive. And the Eternal Life is FREE for you and me!!! Just ask for Christ Jesus YESHUA the Messiah. The terms of this offer does change and will eventually expire. So don't wait! Call upon Him today! Act now and you may receive a special gift of the SPIRIT at no extra charge. Delivery is immediate upon request with no shipping and handling charges.
CHAPTER 33 - MATCHING THE FINAL VERSES

The same decoding process used to determine MMLR and the events surrounding our Third Resurrection are again used to decode the events that transpire after the end of the Millennial Reign when the Adversary is released. Revelation 20 provided the necessary key in determining when the Millennial Reign actually is on the timeline. Then Revelation 19 is broken down by its event format and added to Revelation 20. Then chapters 16, 9, 21, 14 and other event related chapters and verses from the Word of God are added. After all chapters of the Book of Revelation are reorganized they form a final Event Timeline of Revelation.

After the 1000 Years

The theme after the millennial reign of Christ takes a drastic change. For 1000 years God provided for His people and made things very easy for everyone else. The true God ADONAI provided for His creation during the 1000 year reign of His Son YESHUA, Jesus Christ. But then, the Adversary is released (5th Shofar). And as his lies begin spreading across the globe, people begin to turn away from the one true God in heaven.

Now if you were God, and for the past 1000 years you poured out your blessings, love, protection and mercy to the world, only to have them turn against you at the first whims of a liar, what would you do? You'd be rather ticked off!

So our God sends His right arm (YESHUA) to the surrounding nations.

Isaiah 34:5 "For my sword (Jesus) has drunk its fill in heaven; now it descends on Edom to judge them, the people I have doomed to destruction."

Revelation 14:14 Then I looked, and there before me was a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone like a Son of Man with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Revelation 14:15 Another Angel came out of the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, "Start using your sickle to reap, because the time to reap has come – the earth's harvest is ripe!"

Revelation 14:16 The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

Isaiah 34 and Revelation 14:14-16 are the same event. It is when God sends his right arm (Jesus) to begin judging the nations.

Isaiah chapter 34 (read all of it) gives the details of the judgment on Edom and Botzrah when our Lord descends after the millennial reign as Revelation 14's timeline suggests. However if you read Isaiah 35 immediately after 34 it would suggest that the events in chapter 35 follow the events of chapter 34; but this is not true. The book of Isaiah is as much a puzzle book as the book of Revelation with the words "will be" throughout. Basically Isaiah 35 occurs before the millennial reign when Jesus descends to Zion and Isaiah 34 is after the millennial reign.

Isaiah 34:8 For ADONAI has a day of vengeance, a year of requital for fighting with Tziyon.

ADONAI's right arm descending is part of "a year of requital for fighting with Zion". Isaiah 34:8 is a singular event fulfilling God's day of vengeance and year of redemption; but for the enemies of God it is a year of requital. It is Redemption for those that love him, requital for those that don't. This is when our Lord and Savior pours out the blood of those against His Father and soaks His robe in that blood. He then returns to Jerusalem with His robe stained crimson (Isaiah 63).

Isaiah 63:1 Who is this, coming from Edom, from Botzrah with clothing stained crimson so magnificently dressed, so stately in his great strength?

"It is I, who speak victoriously, I, well able to save."

Christ returns to Jerusalem victoriously fulfilling the first 'woe' of Revelation 14:7.

Revelation 14:7 In a loud voice he said, "Fear God, give him glory, for the hour has come when he will pass judgment! Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!"

The Judge came down when this announcement was first spoken by the Angel but its fulfillment is when the Judge passes His judgment on the earth. This fulfills the first woe announcement.

Revelation 9:12 The first woe has passed, but there are still two woe's to come.

So in a nutshell at the Fifth Shofar after the millennial reign the Adversary is released releasing lies and deception out of the abyss turning men's hearts against God. ADONAI, having had enough, sends his right arm fulfilling the judgment of the first woe announcement. Remember that this judgment is only for the surrounding nations of Jerusalem. However the deceptions and lies have reached the entire globe and an Army is beginning to form against the one true God of heaven.

Parallel Events

Two stories that tell of the same events are from Revelation 9 and 14. These events take place after our Lord returns from Edom with clothes stained crimson. It is when He commands the armies of heaven to assemble for the Har Megiddo battle.

Revelation 9:13(a) The sixth angel sounded his Shofar,

Revelation 14:17 Another angel came out of the Temple and he too had a sharp Sickle.

The angel with the shofar is the same angel with the sickle. Revelation 9 is a more literal vision whereas Revelation 14 is a **parabolic** vision. Both visions are the same event.

Revelation 9:13(b) and I heard a voice from the four horns of the gold altar before God

Revelation 14:18(a) Then out from the altar went another angel who was in charge of the fire;

The angel in charge of the fire is Christ who is also the voice from the Four Horns!

Revelation 9:14(a) saying to the sixth angel, the one with the shofar,

Revelation 14:18(b) and he called in a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle,

–Christ says to the 6th angel...

Revelation 9:14(b) "Release the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

Revelation 14:18(c) "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because they are ripe!"

'Use your authority to release the millions upon millions of God's angels!'

Revelation 9:15(a) And they were released.

Revelation 14:19(a) The angel swung his sickle down to the earth,

And they were released to go to earth.

Revelation 9:15(b) These four angels had been kept ready for this moment, for this day and month and year,

Revelation 14:19(b) gathered the earth's grapes

These millions upon millions of angels have been prepared to "gather those grapes".

Revelation 9:15(c) to kill a third of mankind;

Revelation 14:19(c) and threw them into the great winepress of God's fury.

And they make sure those "grapes" get to Har Megiddo (ADONAI's Valley of Decision) where our Lord YESHUA and the "fire" will destroy them!

Revelation 9:16 and the number of cavalry soldiers was (murias-an indefinite number) two hundred million! – I heard the number.

Revelation 14:20 The winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress as high as the horse's bridles for two hundred miles!

When the armies surround Jerusalem for the battle at Har Megiddo, Christ leads God's army of heaven (the Fire) and destroys them.

Another Matching Set

The latter verses of Revelation 11 link up with Revelation 19's verses. These two chapters set the timeline format for events following the completion or fulfillment of the second woe announcement. After the 2nd woe passes is an entire series of events that occur after the 7th Shofar. Attention to detail and every little word and phrase helps organize these events for our timeline. So let's get started.

Formatting 11 and 19's Bonded Events

The 2nd Woe began with the destruction of the Whore of Bavel but the fulfillment is when Christ soaks His robe in Bavel's blood as He slaughters the surrounding nations. These nations are the nations of Bavel (Babylon). The next battle coming quickly after Christ soaks his robe is Har Megiddo when the Euphrates River must be dried up for Gog and Magog, (nations that are just outside the Middle East). Revelation 19 begins with the 2nd Woe when Christ YESHUA returns from Babylon with His blood soaked crimson and heaven shouts victory over the Whore of Bavel.

Revelation 19:1 After these things, I heard what sounded like the roar of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting, "Halleluyah! The victory, the glory, the power of our God!

Revelation 19:2 For his judgments are true and just. He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. He has taken vengeance on her who has the blood of his servants on her hands."

Revelation 19:3 And a second time they said, "Halleluyah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever!"

Revelation 11:14 The second woe has passed; see, the third woe is coming quickly.

John already saw the 6th Plague's preparations for the battle at Har Megiddo. "See", that is why the 3rd Woe is coming quickly!

The Culmination Begins

Revelation 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his shofar, and there was loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!"

Christ hands over everything to His Father at the culmination, at the 7th shofar. But the deceived doesn't like it.

24 Elders Worship ADONAI

Revelation 11:16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God's presence fell on their faces and worshipped God,

Revelation 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshipped God, sitting on the throne, and said, "Amen! Halleluyah!"

Jesus Declares Praises to ADONAI

Revelation 19:5 A voice [Jesus] went out from the throne, saying "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great!"

ADONAI, God of Heaven's Armies Begins to Rule

Revelation 11:17 [24 Elders and the 4 Living Beings] saying, "We thank you, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, the One who is and was, that you have taken your power and have begun to rule.

Revelation 19:6 Then I heard what sounded like the roar of a 'huge' [precious, expensive, highest cost] crowd, like the sound of rushing waters, like loud peals of thunder, saying, "Halleluyah! ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, has begun his reign!

11:18's Summed Up Description of Revelation 19:7-21

Revelation 11:18 "The Goyim [Gentiles] raged. But now your rage has come, the time for the dead to be judged, the time for rewarding your servants the prophets and your holy people, those who stand in awe of your name, both small and great. It is also the time for destroying those who destroy the earth."

Revelation 11:18 gives a vague timeline of events; the dead are judged then holy people are rewarded. But also "somewhere" on the timeline it is time for destroying those who destroy the earth. However a more detailed step by step of events is given to us in Revelation 19:7-21 for this part of our timeline.

Revelation 19:7 "Let us rejoice and be glad! Let us give him glory! For the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his Bride has prepared herself –

Revelation 19:8 fine linen, bright and clean has been given her to wear." ("Fine linen" means the righteous deeds of God's people.)

Here are some facts! The Lamb is Christ. The Bride is the holy city New Jerusalem (not the redeemed people) [Revelation 21:2]. And the "fine linen" that the city is prepared with is the righteous deeds of God's people, not the people themselves.

Now imagine this. The city is prepared or wearing righteousness. And it is in righteousness, (Revelation 19:11) meaning it is from within the city New Jerusalem that Christ passes Judgment (for the battle of Har Megiddo) and goes to battle. Meaning also that when Christ descends for battle in Revelation 19:11, the holy city New Jerusalem is descending with Christ in it [from mid-heaven] and God's army (the "fire") is descending with it!

Revelation 19:9 The angel said to me, "Write: 'How blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!'" Then he added, "These are God's very words."

Revelation 19:10 I fell at his feet to worship him; but he said, "Don't do that! I'm only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers who have the testimony of YESHUA. Worship God! For the testimony of YESHUA is the Spirit of prophecy."

This is the second of three times that John falls down. Can you guess who this angel is?

Revelation 19:11 Next I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. Sitting on it was the one called Faithful and True, and it is in righteousness that he passes judgment and goes to battle.

Notice that John saw heaven opened. Heaven opens for the battle of Har Megiddo and also for the holy city to descend upon earth.

Revelation 21:2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

And from the city above Earth, in righteousness, Christ will pass judgment and goes to battle. Can you imagine the army's surprise as they come against Jerusalem to destroy it? And all of a sudden in the sky a massive 1500 square mile by 1500 miles high city is seen and then out of that city comes "the fire" to destroy them!

Joel 4(3):11 Hurry, come you surrounding nations, gather yourselves together!" Bring your warriors down, ADONAI!

Don't forget the Old Testament in all this. You can paste in the details from other books of the bible on your timeline.

Revelation 19:12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. And he had a name written which no one knew but himself.

Revelation 19:13 He was wearing a robe that had been soaked in blood, and the name by which he is called is, "THE WORD OF GOD."

The robe had been soaked in blood from Edom.

Revelation 19:14 The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.

This army is the "fire".

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down nations –"He will rule them with a staff of iron." It is he who treads the winepress from which flows the wine of the furious rage of ADONAI, God of heaven's armies.

While John was immersed in the vision that he was watching regarding Christ leading the fire into battle, the angel tells him, "He will rule them with a staff of iron." This hint tells us that only after the millennial reign is when Christ must use force.

Revelation 19:16 And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

An angel then calls all the birds for the wedding feast.

Revelation 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds that fly about in mid-heaven, "Come, gather together for the great feast God is giving,

Revelation 19:18 to eat the flesh of Kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of important men, the flesh of horses and their riders and the flesh of all kinds of people, free and slave, small and great!"

Bon appétit!

Revelation 19:19 I saw the beast and the Kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to do battle with the rider of the horse and his army.

All the deceived have gathered together to do battle with Christ and the fire.

Revelation 19:20 But the beast was taken captive, and with it the false prophet who, in its presence, had done the miracles which he had used to deceive those who had received the Mark of the beast and those who had worshiped his image. The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the Lake of fire that Burns with sulfur.

The end result of a Middle East religion is to be thrown alive into the Lake of fire.

Revelation 19:21 The rest were killed with the sword that goes out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Revelation 20:9 and they came up over the breadth [horizon] of the Land [Jerusalem] and surrounded the camp of God's people and the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

And the fire consumed them, nothing special. These sums up Revelation 11:18.

Narrowing Down the 4th Resurrection

The most popular event because of that theory is the final resurrection when we receive our immortal bodies which has been nailed exactly on the blowing of the 7th Shofar – **but it doesn't!** Careful reading suggests otherwise. The 4th Resurrection occurs some time later **after** the blowing of the 7th Shofar. Let's review the 4th Resurrection again from First Corinthians.

First Corinthians 15:24 then the culmination, when he hands over the kingdom to God the father, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power.

Attention to detail from chapters 11 and 19 tells us that the 4th resurrection is after Christ has put an end to every rulership and to every authority and power which is also after the culmination begins according to chapter 11 and 19 from the book of Revelation. And those events (ending man's rulership and authority plus the culmination) occur after the 7th Shofar!

First Corinthians 15:25 For he has to rule until he puts all his enemies under his feet.

Revelation 11:14+ and 19's formats begin after the 1000year reign ends and the Adversary is released; then the 5th Shofar and Bowl, the 1st Woe passes, the 6th Shofar and Bowl, the 2nd Woe passes, the 7th Shofar sounds, the Culmination begins, the Bride prepares herself, the Wedding Feast Invitation, the 7th Bowl (IT IS DONE), the Holy City New Jerusalem descends (L,V,T,ME,H)-city split into three parts, the Battle at Har Megiddo, (the Beast, False Prophet & Adversary are thrown into the Lake of Fire), the Wedding Feast (Birds gorge), , the Tent of Witness Opened, the Great White Throne, Heaven and Earth Fled, (Books are Opened)-the dead are judged, Death and Sh'ol (hell) are thrown into the Lake of Fire, **and then** the 4th Resurrection when we are changed to our immortal form.

Why did God put the 4th Resurrection at the end of it all?

First Corinthians 15:50 Let me say this brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, nor can something that decays share in what does not decay.

This is why the 4th Resurrection is at the very end after all the flesh is judged! It is because flesh and blood cannot share in the kingdom of heaven. Then we are changed from flesh to immortality.

First Corinthians 15:51 Look, I will tell you a secret – not all of us will die! But we will all be changed!

First Corinthians 15:52 It will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the final shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we too will be changed.

The dead holy people (those that died serving Christ after the 3rd Resurrection) and those from the 3rd Resurrection will be changed instantly!

First Corinthians 15:53 For this material which can decay must be clothed with imperishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality.

Why must they be? Because flesh and blood cannot share in the kingdom of God! (It's the same with Law and Grace, the two cannot share a successful union).

First Corinthians 15:54 When what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality, then this passage in the Tanakh will be fulfilled:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

"Death, where is your victory?"

"Death where is your sting?"

First Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy to be done away with will be death,

This is why the 4th Resurrection must take place after Death is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

First Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and sin draws its power from the Torah [Law];

First Corinthians 15:57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

And finally the 4th Resurrection verse from chapter 10.

Revelation 10:7 on the contrary, in the days of the sound from the seventh angel when he sounds his shofar, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion, the Good News as he proclaimed it to his servants the prophets."

Notice verse seven says, "in the days of the sound". This statement means that **days away** from the sound of the 7th Shofar, then the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion. And according to related chapters and verses, the 4th Resurrection will occur days later, **after** the 7th Shofar sounds, not immediately when it sounds.

New Jerusalem's Actual Appearance

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there.

Pinpointing the exact appearance of the holy city is probable, not completely possible. The first verse of Revelation 21 begins with John seeing a new heaven and a new earth. Also the nations are no longer there. So we can surmise that this occurs sometime during the millennial reign.

Revelation 21:2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

John used the word "also" in verse two. This could mean possibly that at the same time he saw the new heaven and the new earth that he also saw the holy city descending like a bride beautifully dressed. Revelation 19:7 tells us that the bride "has prepared" herself. Pinpointing exactly when the bride prepared herself cannot be done. However when John was taken in the spirit to see the holy city (this means that John is out of the current timeline of chapter 21, he is seeing another vision except that he is actually in the vision viewing the holy city) coming down out of heaven from God, John noticed something.

Revelation 21:11 It had the Sh'khinah of God, so that its brilliance was like that of a priceless jewel, like a crystal-clear diamond.

The Sh'khinah glory of God that is covering the holy city is the righteous deeds of God's people. God's people are in the City awaiting their Lord's command to go to battle as it is descending.

So when did it appear the first time?

Revelation 21:22 I saw no Temple in the city, for ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, is its Temple, as is the Lamb.

Revelation 21:23 The city has no need for the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God's Sh'khinah gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Revelation 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the Kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

Revelation 21:25 Its gates will never close, they stay open all day because night will not exist there.

Revelation 21:26 and the honor and splendor of the nations will be brought into it.

Revelation 21:27 Nothing impure may enter it, nor anyone who does shameful things or lies; the only ones who may enter are those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

The sum is this. John had to have seen the holy city long before he saw a new heaven and a new earth. Nations will walk by the light in the city coming from God's glory and Kings of the nations will bring their splendors into it. This means that the city is present during the millennial reign. How the Kings bring their splendor into it is another question; perhaps angels carry it up. And another fact in verse 22 is there is no Temple in the city!

Through my studies I believe that when ADONAI, YESHUA, the 24 elders, all the Angels and all the occupants of heaven comes out of heaven down to earth at the Third Resurrection, they bring the holy city with them!

And their efforts create a new heaven and a new earth unlike anything that we can imagine today. As was noted before, when they arrive it will be no mystery about what is going on. From people seeing Angels lifting people to the heavens and seeing great and mighty Eagle Angels flying across the globe proclaiming their announcements "woes" to seeing the beacon of light (The Holy City orbiting the Earth above Jerusalem) showing everyone the way to Jerusalem so they can meet their King; it will surely be a new heaven and a new earth.

The Holy City should appear when all of Heaven leaves to come to Earth for the 3rd Resurrection. All the inhabitants of the Third Resurrection will meet their Lord in the clouds and then be assigned their station to rule and reign with Christ for the Millennial Reign. And their stations should be in the Holy City in the clouds with ADONAI as the Beacon of Light from within the city. When scripture says "coming out of heaven" it probably means out of the Holy City which is in the heavens (atmosphere) above the Earth, above Jerusalem.

Additional Speculation

Revelation 15:5 After this I looked, and out of the sanctuary (that is, the Tent of Witness in heaven) was opened,

Revelation 15:8 Then the sanctuary was filled with smoke from God's Sh'khinah, that is, from his power; and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels had accomplished their purpose.

The Tent of Witness (the sanctuary) is in heaven, possibly in the Holy City. More evidence that a New Temple in Jerusalem will not be needed.

The Angel with John

While in heaven there was an Angel who spoke with John and showed him many things. The first Angel was identified as the Son of Man who was the first to speak to John in Revelation 1:11 telling him to write down what he sees now and what will happen afterwards. Then again Jesus speaks to John in Revelation 4:1. Then an Elder speaks to John in chapter 5 regarding the Worthy Lamb. And in chapter 6 John watches the Worthy Lamb open the seals and open the scroll. Finally an Elder speaks to John again in Revelation 7:12-17.

As mentioned before in Revelation 8:3 after the scroll is opened, a particular Angel approaches the altar. This particular Angel is the same Angel as "one of the four living beings" in Revelation 15:7, suggesting that, the incense bowl filled with the prayers of the saints is also the bowls of plagues that are poured out on the enemy! The enemy's worst nightmare is Prayers from God's people being fulfilled. It's ammunition for the gun to kill the enemy! So keep on Praying!!

This Angel from the altar speaks with John in Revelation 17:1 and Revelation 21:9.

Revelation 17:1 Then came one of the Angels with the seven bowls; and he said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is sitting by many waters."

Revelation 21:9 One of the seven Angels having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues approached me and said, "Come! I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb."

Notice that in Revelation 21:9 the Angel from the altar approaches John with seven bowls full of the seven last plagues. How can this Angel be carrying seven bowls full of plagues when they were already poured out long ago? Simple, it's because they have not been poured out yet. Again I stress the fact that John was watching visions of things to come. He was not transported into the future to view them firsthand (except for possibly to see the Holy City). John viewed these events 2000 years ago when he was taken to heaven and everything he viewed was future events for him (not us).

Revelation 21:10 He carried me off in the spirit to the top of a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Yerushalayim [Jerusalem], coming down out of heaven from God.

John was "in the spirit" three times. The first was in chapter 1 before Jesus spoke to him. The second was in chapter 4 when he saw the door to heaven and instantly he was in the spirit and found himself in heaven. The third time is when the Angel from the altar approaches him and says, "Hey, I want to show you the new city!", and transports John in the spirit to a high mountain. When you step into the spirit you step out of time. In verse 10, John is transported into the future to be shown the Holy City New Jerusalem from his present time into sometime 2000 years into the future.

Now this Angel seemed quite excited about showing John the holy city. So which "Angel" would be most excited about this holy city? This Angel from the altar continues showing John details of the holy city. Then in chapter 22 John continues saying, "Next the Angel showed me..." acknowledging that it is the same Angel from the altar. This same Angel continues to speak to John and in verse seven he says this.

Revelation 22:7 "Look! I am coming very soon. Blessed is the person who obeys the words of the prophecy written in this book!"

This Angel cannot be the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is already here on earth with us. This Angel cannot be God the Father otherwise the book would have said so. This Angel continues speaking until we reach verse 12 where we receive our answer.

Revelation 22:12 "Pay attention!" [Says YESHUA,] "I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done.

YESHUA is the angel from the altar in charge of the prayers of all of God's people. Those 6000 years of prayers that will be poured out on the Earth.

One could also speculate that since John was a beloved disciple of Jesus that the Angel speaking with John is Jesus. The voice in heaven is defined as the Son of Man and overall it does make sense! Now common sense and logic dictates that the Angel of Revelation 21:9 is the same Angel in 22:1. And the same Angel speaks to John again in chapter 22 verses 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. But in verse 12 the verse begins with "Pay Attention!" [Says YESHUA] "I am coming soon." – This is prime evidence that John's primary contact in heaven is YESHUA, our Lord Jesus Christ. And both Christ and John are reviewing most of the visions together. This could be shown more easily in a movie.

Those strange little interruptions such as Revelation 16:15, Revelation 19:15, Revelation 22:9&10, are Jesus himself speaking to John as they view the visions of things to come.

Also John falls before this "Angel" three times; Revelation 1:17, Revelation 19:10, and Revelation 22:8. The first "Angel" is identified in Revelation 1:17 as the Son of Man so it is understandable that John fell down. But John's experiences in heaven allowed him to see many Angels which makes one ask, "Why would he fall down and begin to worship one?" The answer is Christ! It is Christ testifying on behalf of the Father and the testimony of YESHUA. Christ is the one that John keeps falling down before.

Christ tells John "Don't Do That!" and "WORSHIP GOD!" This is Christ telling you that you are a high priest and that your job **now** is to worship God, not him, or any Angel, or the Virgin Mary (she had more children after YESHUA), or some dead saint so and so. WORSHIP GOD, ADONAI Only!

Revelation Reorganized

Revelation Remix is exactly what God's people need to increase their Faith. By putting the 'last days' events into a flowing storyline, it brings the Book of Revelation to a much greater understanding. And to be able to see and understand God's love for man with a truer interpretation of the 'last days' will increase man's love for God. And Revelation Remix is just that, a finished, by event format timeline.

And God wants the Love of every person that He created.

God wants you to Know Him!

God paid the Price to bring you back to the 'one on one' relationship he had with man before Eve took from the Tree of Knowledge. In gaining knowledge of sin, man lost the knowledge of God. As time continued and knowledge of the One True God decreased God gave us His written Word. When the Word became flesh and paid off man's debt to God the Father in 32A.D. it allowed man to know God through His own Spirit; and for God Himself to dwell with us and guide us with His knowledge of Grace, Love and Mercy.

And it is by the Spirit that this knowledge in this book is written for you. So that you may understand His Love for you and come to salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord! AMEN.
CHAPTER 34 - REVELATION'S TIMELINE; REVELATION REMIX

Now that Jesus has removed all the seals and has opened the scroll, and since we have examined some of the key factors of what Jesus was showing John about His Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption, we are able to get an overall look about these events as they occur on our timeline. Again, disassembling the events of each chapter and putting them in a "timeline" order produces an overall view and more of a storyline of how the events are going to occur in God's Day of Vengeance and Year of Redemption plus the Millennial Reign. Brackets [ok] will be added as little "interruption reminders" along with keynotes, words or phrases that will help the reader understand how this 'Revelation of the Scroll' came to be in this order.

Remember the lesson when God created man in Genesis 1:26-27 that He created Adam's spirit, or soul, first. Then in Genesis 2:7, God formed man's body from the dust of the ground and then he breathed into the nostrils of Adam's body the breath of life, or rather, he put Adam's spirit into Adam's body. The words breath (spirit) and breathed (enter into) have been translated from their parabolic meanings below as wind and blow. Plus read First Corinthians 15 regarding the Good News.

The Year of Redemption Begins

Pre-Hour

Revelation 8:1 When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed like half an hour. [Silence because the Angels and everyone have come down to earth].

The Beast is Wounded with the Sword (Christ)

Revelation 20:1-3 Next I saw an angel {Christ} coming down from heaven, who had the key to the Abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan [the Adversary], and chained him up for 1000 years. He threw him into the abyss, locked it and sealed it over him; so that he could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were over. After that, he has to be set free for a little while.

The Beast suffers a mighty blow when the Adversary, their god, is taken captive.

Rosh Hashanah – Feast of Trumpets:

Revelation 7:1 After this, I saw four angels [the highest ranking Angel from each of the four groups] standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds [all the other Angels-Angels are spirits too.] of the earth, so that no wind [breath,spirit] would blow [breathe, enter into] on the land [people of Jerusalem], on the sea [people of the nation's] or on any tree [any single person].

[Revised] {After this, I saw the highest ranking Angels, four of them, from each of the four living beings standing at the four corners of the earth, holding ready for God's breath of resurrection power, that is, each Angel has with them the spirit of one of God's people that had been dead and is ready to be resurrected. And each Angel is assigned to one of the four groups of millions and millions of Guardian Angels of the earth. Here they are commanded to wait so as not to allow the breath (allow the resurrection - allow the spirits of the people to enter into their body) to enter any of the people of Jerusalem, or any of the people of the nations or any single person.}

[Harm or Hurt from in the original Greek for the verses of Revelation 7:2-3 also means [not to] judge "morally, physically or socially". The Angels are coming to gather all of God's people for the Third Resurrection to meet Him in the clouds – the dead first then the living.]

Revelation 7:2 I saw another Angel [Jesus] coming up from the East with a seal from the living God, [Christ just got done sealing up the Adversary at the Millennial Hotel] and he shouted to the four Angels who had been given power to harm [to socialize and physically gather] the land and the sea, [the people from Jerusalem and from the other nations around the world].

Revelation 7:3 "Do not harm [judge the Holy people or physically gather] the land [people of Jerusalem] or the sea [people of the nation's] or the trees [any person] until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!"

[Revised] {Do not engage socially or physically with the people of Jerusalem or the people of the nations or any person until we have secured, preserved and put God's insignia stamp on the foreheads of God's 144,000 chosen servants!}

Revelation 7:4 I heard how many were sealed – 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Israel: [verses 5-8 are 12,000 from each Jewish tribe].

Colossians 3:4 When the Messiah, who is our life, appears, then you too will appear with him in glory!

First Corinthians 15:22-24 For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive. But each in his own order: the Messiah is the firstfruits; then those who belong to the Messiah, at the time of his coming; then the culmination, when he hands over the kingdom to God the father, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power.

Second Thessalonians 2:1 But in connection with the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to meet him, we ask you, brothers, [These two events are occurring on the same day.]

From Ezekiel

Ezekiel 37:1-6 (1) With the hand of ADONAI upon me, ADONAI carried me out by his spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones. (2) He had me pass by all around them – there were so many bones lying in the Valley, and they were so dry! (3) He asked me, "Human being, can these bones live?" I answered, "ADONAI ELOHIM! Only you know that!" (4) Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones! Say to them, 'Dry bones! Hear what ADONAI has to say! (5) To these bones ADONAI ELOHIM says, "I will make breath enter you, and you will live. (6) I will attach ligaments to you, make flesh grow on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you. You will live, and you will know that I am ADONAI."'"

Ezekiel 37:7-9 (7) So I prophesied as ordered; and while I was prophesying, it was a noise, a rattling sound; it was the bones coming together, each bone in its proper place. (8) As I watched, ligaments grew on them, flesh appeared and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. (9) Next he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath! Prophesy, human being! Say to the breath that ADONAI ELOHIM says, 'Come from the four winds, breath; and breathe on these slain, so that they can live.'"

Ezekiel 37:10-14 (10) So I prophesied as ordered, and the breath came into them, and they were alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army! (11) Then he said to me, "Human being! These bones are the whole house of Israel; and they are saying, 'Our bones have dried up, our hope is gone, and we are completely cut off.' (12) Therefore prophesy; say to them that ADONAI ELOHIM says, 'My people! I will open your graves and make you get up out of your graves, and I will bring you into the land of Israel. (13) Then you will know that I am ADONAI – when I have opened your graves and made you get up out of your graves, my people! (14) I will put my spirit in you; and you will be alive. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, ADONAI, have spoken, and that I have done it,' says ADONAI."

The Hour Begins with the Third Resurrection

Revelation 10:1 Next I saw another mighty Angel [Christ] coming down from heaven. He was dressed in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, his legs like columns of fire;

First Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry [the 'Seal my servants first'], with a call from one of the ruling Angels [the Order to Resurrect God's people], and with God's shofar (Come up Here!); those who died United with the Messiah will be the first to rise; then we who are left still alive will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will always be with the Lord. So encourage each other with these words.

(Revelation 20:4) Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them received authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for testifying about Yeshua and proclaiming the word of God, also those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received the Mark on their foreheads and on their hands. They came to life and ruled with the Messiah for 1000 years.

Revelation 20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the (Third) Prior Resurrection. [This resurrection is prior to the Millennial Reign]

(Revelation10:2) and he had a little scroll lying open in his hand. He planted his right foot [authority, power] on the sea [the nations] and his left foot [God's strength demonstrated through man's weakness] on the land [Jerusalem], *defined from Understanding the Dreams You Dream by Ira Milligan – copyright 1997 by Destiny Image Publishers Inc.

(Revelation 20:6) Blessed and holy is anyone who has part in the (Third) Prior Resurrection; over him the second death has no power. On the contrary, they will be cohanim [High Priests] of God and of the Messiah, and they will rule with him for the thousand years. (They will begin ruling prior to the Millennial Reign).

Those of the Third Resurrection cannot and will not die spiritually.

Revelation 13:8 Everyone living on earth will worship it [the Beast's religion] except those whose names are written in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb slaughtered before the world was founded.

All people will eventually choose God or the Adversary's religion.

Revelation 11:11-12 But after the 3 ½ days [3500 years of Israel's bondage] a breath of life from God entered them, they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. Then the two heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" And they went up into heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them. [The Angels are slowly carrying up the redeemed to meet Christ in the clouds and the remainder of the people left on earth watch them being taken up].

Luke 21:26 as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the earth; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

One Half of an hour has gone by.

Revelation 7:9 After this, I looked; and there before me was a huge crowd, too large for anyone to count, from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding Palm branches in their hands;

Revelation 10:3 and [Christ] shouted in a voice as loud as a roar of a lion; and when he shouted, seven thunderclaps sounded with voices that spoke.

Revelation 7:10 and they [The people of the Third Resurrection] shouted, "Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

Revelation 10:4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but it heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up the things the seven thunders said, do not write them down!"

Revelation 7:11-12 All the Angels stood around the throne, the elders and the four living beings; they fell facedown before the throne and worshipped God, saying, "Amen!" "Praise and glory, wisdom and thanks, honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever!" "Amen!"

Revelation 7:13-17 One of the elders asked me, "These people dressed in white robes – who are they, and where are they from?" "Sir," I answered, "you know." Then he told me, "These are the people [the Two Witnesses] who have come out of the Great Persecution [the 6000 years of man's sin]. They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before God's throne." "Day and night they serve him in his temple; and the one who sits on the throne will put his Sh 'khinah [Glory, FIRE], upon them." "They will never again be hungry, they will never again be thirsty, the sun will not beat down on them, nor will any burning heat." "For the Lamb at the center of the throne will Shepherd them, will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."

Ezekiel 39:25-29 "Therefore ADONAI ELOHIM says this: 'Now I will restore the fortunes of Ya'kov [Jacob] and have compassion on the entire house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name. (26) They will bear their shame and all their guilt [guilt from] breaking faith with me, once they are living securely in their land, with no one to make them afraid. (27) This will be after I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, thereby being consecrated through them in the sight of many nations. (28) Then they will know that I am ADONAI their God, since it was I who cause them to go into exile among the nations, and it was I who regathered them to their own land. I will leave none of them there anymore, (29) and I will no longer hide my face from them, for I have poured out my spirit on the house of Israel,' says ADONAI ELOHIM."

Daniel 12:1-3 "When that time comes, Mikha'el [Michael], the great Prince who champions your people, will stand up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they [the beast] became a nation and that moment. At that time, your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book. (2) Many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and abhorrence. (3) But those who can discern will shine like the brightness of heaven's dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever.

Another Sign

Revelation 15:1-4 Then I saw another sign in heaven, a great and wonderful one – seven Angels with the seven plagues that are the final ones; because with them, God's fury is finished. I saw what looked like a sea of glass [all the Angels of heaven] mixed with fire [the Redeemed from the Third Resurrection]. Those defeating the beast, its image and the number of its name were standing by the Sea of Glass, holding harps which God had given them. They [Two Witnesses] were singing the song of Moshe [Moses], the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:

"Great and wonderful are the things you have done, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies!

Just and true are your ways, King of the nations!

ADONAI, who will not fear and glorify your name? because you alone are holy.

All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed."

Revelation 10:5-6 Then the angel [Christ] standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand toward heaven and swore by the one who lives forever and ever [ADONAI], who created heaven and what is in it, earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: "There will be no more delay;" [Christ's Day of Vengeance is about to begin].

Revelation 10:7 "on the contrary, in the days of the sound from the seventh Angel when he sounds his shofar, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion, the good news as he proclaimed it to his servants the prophets." [Christ explains that the Good News will be fulfilled at the Seventh Shofar – the Fourth and only Resurrection when we receive our immortal bodies].

Revelation 15:5 After this I looked, and the sanctuary (that is, the Tent of Witness in heaven) was opened,

Revelation 8:2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven shofars.

Revelation 15:6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven Angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean bright linen and had gold belts around their chests.

Revelation 8:3 Another Angel came and stood at the altar with a gold incense bowl, and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all God's people

Revelation 17:1 Then came one of the Angels (Christ?) with the seven bowls; and he said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great whore who is sitting by many waters.

Revelation 17:2 The Kings of the earth went whoring with her, and the people living on the earth have become drunk from the wine of her whoring."

Revelation 17:3 He carried me off in the Spirit to a desert, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast filled with blasphemous names and having seven heads and ten horns.

Revelation 17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and glittered with gold, precious stones and pearls. In her hand was a gold cup filled with the obscene and filthy things produced by her whoring.

Revelation 17:5 On her forehead was written a name with a hidden meaning, BAVEL THE GREAT MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE EARTH'S OBSCENITIES.

Revelation 17:6 I saw the woman drunk from the blood of God's people, that is, from the blood of the people who testify about YESHUA. On seeing her, I was all together astounded.

Revelation 17:7 Then the angel said to me, "Why are you astounded? I will tell you the hidden meaning of the woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that was carrying her.

Revelation 17:8 The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the Abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on the earth whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not, but is to appear.

Revelation 17:9 This calls for a mind with wisdom; the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is sitting; also they are seven kings—

Revelation 17:10 five have fallen, one is living now and the other is yet to come; and when he does come he must remain only a little while.

Revelation 17:11 The beast which once was and now is not is an eighth king; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction.

Revelation 10:8 Next the voice (from ADONAI) which I had heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, "Go, take the scroll lying open in the hand of the angel (Christ) standing on the sea (nations) and on the land (Jerusalem)!"

Revelation 10:9 So I went over to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."

Revelation 10:10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it; and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; but after I had swallowed it, my stomach turned bitter.

Revelation 10:11 Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings." ['Again', refers to the bowls]

Revelation 15:7 One of the four living beings gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the fury of God, who lives forever and ever.

Revelation 8:4 on the gold altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of God's people from the hand of the angel before God.

Revelation 15:8 Then the sanctuary was filled with smoke from God's Sh'khinah, that is, from his power; and no one could enter the sanctuary [the Tent of Witness] until the seven plagues of the seven Angels had accomplished their purpose.

Revelation 8:5 Then the Angel took the incense bowl, filled with the fire from the altar and threw it down onto the earth; and there followed [future tense] peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. [This event is more defined with the shofars and bowls].

Revelation 8:6 Now the seven Angels with the seven shofars prepare to sound them.

Revelation 16:1 I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary say to the Seven Angels, "Go, and pour out on the earth the Seven Bowls of God's fury!"

[The hour that began with the Third Resurrection ends here. The Day of Vengeance begins].

Revelation 11:13 In that hour (the hour that began with the Third Resurrection) there was a great earthquake, and a 10th of the city [Jerusalem] collapsed. 7000 people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were awestruck and gave glory to the God in heaven. [The hour begins with the Third Resurrection and will end with the great earthquake from the destruction of Saudi Arabia (Shofars and Bowls 1-4)].

The Day of Vengeance Begins

(Luke 21:28) When these things start to happen, standup and hold your heads high; because you are about to be liberated! [Christ is speaking ONLY to the Jewish people of Jerusalem!]

Iran Launches

(Jeremiah 51:11) Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! ADONAI roused the spirit of the Kings of the Medes [Iran], because he plans to destroy Bavel [Saudi Arabia]. This is the vengeance of ADONAI vengeance over his temple [because the people of Kasdim destroyed Jerusalem's Temple in 70 A.D.]

Revelation 17:12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 Kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as Kings for one hour, along with the beast.

Revelation 17:13 They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

Revelation 17:15 Then he said to me, "the waters that you saw, where the whore is sitting, are peoples, crowds, nations and languages.

Revelation 17:16 As for the 10 horns that you saw and the beast, they will hate the whore, bring her to ruin, leave her naked, eat her flesh and consume her with fire.

Revelation 17:17 For God put it in their hearts to do what will fulfill his purpose, that is, to be of one mind and give their kingdom to the beast until God's words have accomplished their intent.

Revelation 17:18 and the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the Kings of the earth." [Saudi Arabia]

(Jeremiah 51:25) "I am against you, destructive mountain, destroying all the earth," says ADONAI. "I will stretch out my hand against you, to send you tumbling down from the crags and make you a burned out mountain." [Saudi Arabia funds most terrorist networks.]

Revelation 18:8 "Therefore, her plagues will come in a single day – death, sorrow and famine; and she will be burned with fire, because ADONAI, God, her judge, is mighty".

(Mt 24:29) the stars will fall from the sky,

(Mk 13:25) the stars will fall from the sky,

(Lk 21:25)...and stars;

(Rev 6:13) The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its fig's when shaken by a strong wind.

Nuclear Detonations in Middle East

(Revelation 8:7) The first one sounded his shofar; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was thrown down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. [Saudi Arabia makes up a third of the Middle East].

(Rev 6:12) Then I watched as he broke the Sixth Seal, and there was a great earthquake,

(Second Peter 3:10) However, the Day of the Lord will come "like a thief." On that day the heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth (land or region – Saudi Arabia) and everything in it will be burned up. {His Day of Vengeance comes like a thief on the enemy, not His people!}

Revelation 18:9 The Kings of the earth who went whoring with her and shared her luxury will sob and wail over her when they see the smoke as she burns.

Revelation 18:10 Standing at a distance, for fear of her torment, they will say, "Oh no! The great city! Bavel, the mighty city! In a single hour your judgment has come!"

(Mt 24:29) and the powers in heaven will be shaken

(Mk 13:25) and the powers in heaven will be shaken

(Mt 24:29) the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

(Mk 13:24) the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining,

(Lk 21:25) There will appear signs in the sun, moon...

(Rev 6:12) the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood red.

Revelation 18:17 "Such great wealth – in a single hour, ruined!"

Radiation Fallout

(Revelation 16:2) So the first one went and poured out his bowl onto the earth, and disgusting and painful sores appeared on all the people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image.

(Lk 21:25) nations will be in anxiety and bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea,

(Lk 21:26) as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world; for the powers in heaven will be shaken.

Revelation 18:19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, saying, "Oh no! The great city! The abundance of her wealth made all the ship owners rich! In a single hour she is ruined!"

(Rev 6:14) The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

The Attack on Kasdim is the Sign of Christ's Return

ADDED - (Mt 24:27) For when the Son of Man does come, it will be like lightning that flashes out of the East and fills the sky to the western horizon. [Within an hour of the Third Resurrection on the Feast of Trumpets which begins at sundown, the people of Jerusalem will see the light of Saudi Arabia's Nuclear Destruction in the east and the light from the blasts will fill the sky over Jerusalem to the western horizon over the Mediterranean Sea.]

(Mt 24:30,) Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the land [Jerusalem] will mourn, [they now know for a fact that Christ is returning because they witnessed their fellow Christian Jew being taken up by Angels.]

Christ will come to Jerusalem

(Mt 24:,30)... and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory.

(Mk 13:26) Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory.

(Lk 21:27) And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with tremendous power and glory.

The Second Plague

(Revelation 8:8) The second Angel sounded his shofar, and what looked like an enormous blazing mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,

(Revelation 16:3) The second one poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

(Revelation 8:9) a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The Third Plague

(Revelation 8:10) The third Angel sounded his shofar, and a great star, blazing like a torch, {ICBM} fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and onto the Springs of water.

(Revelation 16:4) The third one poured out his bowl into the rivers and Springs of water, and they turned to blood.

(Revelation 8:11) The name of the star was "Bitterness," {Poisonous}, and a third of the water became bitter {Poison}, and many people died from the water that had been turned bitter.

(Revelation 16:5) Then I heard the Angel of the waters say,

"O HaKadosh, the one who is and was, you are just in these judgments of yours.

(Revelation 16:6) They poured out the blood of your people and your prophets, so you have made them drink blood. They deserve it!"

(Revelation 16:7) Then I heard the altar say, "Yes, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, your judgments are true and just!"

The Fourth Plague

(Revelation 8:12) The fourth Angel sounded his shofar; and a third of the sun was struck, also a third of the moon and a third of the stars; so that a third of them were darkened, the day had a third less light, and the night likewise.

(Revelation 16:8) The fourth one poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to burn people with fire.

(Revelation 16:9) people were burned by the intense heat; yet they cursed the name of God, who had the authority over these plagues, instead of turning from their sins to give him glory.

(Revelation 19:1) After these things, I heard what sounded like a roar of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting, "Hallelujah! The victory, the glory, the power of our God!

(Revelation 19:2) For his judgments are true and just. He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. He has taken vengeance on her who has the blood of his servants on her hands."

Read all of Revelation 18.

Now read all of Jeremiah 50 and 51 on your own!

Christ gathers 144,000 Chosen from Angels

(Mt 24:31) He will send out his Angels with a great shofar, and they will gather together his chosen people [144,000] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(Mk 13:27) He will send out his Angels and gather together his chosen people [144,000] from the four winds [the four ranks of millions and millions of Angels], from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.

Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement:

Ezekiel 37:15-22 (15) The word of ADONAI came to me: (16) "You, human being, take one stick and right on it, 'For Y'hudah (Judah) and those joined with him [among] the people of Israel.' Next, take one stick and right on it, 'For Yosef (Joseph), the stick of Efrayim (Efraim), and all the house of Israel were joined with him.' (17) Finally, bring them together into a single stick, so that they become one in your hand. (18) When your people ask you what all this means, (19) tell them that ADONAI ELOHIM says this: 'I will take the stick of Yosef, which is in the hand of Efrayim, together with the tribes of Israel who are joined with him, and put them together with the stick of Y'hudah and make them a single stick, so that they become one in my hand.' (20) The sticks on which you write are to be in your hand as they watch. (21) Then say to them that ADONAI ELOHIM says: 'I will take the people of Israel from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land. (22) I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them. They will no longer be two nations, and they will never again be divided into two kingdoms.

Ezekiel 37:23-28 (23)"'They will never again defiled themselves with their idols, their detestable things, or any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the places where they have been living and sinning; and I will cleanse them, so that they will be my people, and I will be their God. (24) My servant David will be king over them, and all of them will have one shepherd; they will live by my rulings and keep and observe my regulations. (25) They will live in the land I gave to Ya'akov (Jacob) my servant, where your ancestors lived; they will live there – they, their children, and their grandchildren, forever; and David my servant will be their leader forever. (26) I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give to them, increase their numbers, and set my sanctuary among them forever. (27) My home will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. (28) The nations will know that I am ADONAI, who sets Israel apart as holy, when my sanctuary is with them forever.'"

Christ arrives with His 144,000 on Mt. Zion

Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Tziyon [Zion]; and with him were 144,000 who had His name and His Father's name written on their foreheads.

Revelation 14:2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing waters and like the sound of pealing thunder; the sound I heard was also like that of harpists playing on their harps.

Revelation 14:3 They [the Chosen] were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living beings and the elders, and no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who have been ransomed from the world.

Revelation 14:4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they have been ransomed from among humanity as firstfruits for God and the Lamb;

Revelation 14:5 on their lips no lie was found – they are without defect.

Lone Eagle 'Angel' Cries Out

(Revelation 8:13) Then I looked, and I heard a Lone Eagle [Angel] give a loud cry, as it flew in mid-heaven, "Woe! Woe! Woe to the people living on earth, because of the remaining blasts from the three Angels who have yet to sound their shofars!"

The Three 'Woe' Announcements Begin

(Revelation 14:6) Next I saw another Angel flying in mid-heaven with everlasting good news to proclaim to those living on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language and people.

The First Announcement – Woe 1 Begins

(Revelation 14:7) In a loud voice he said,

"Fear God, give him glory, for the hour has come when he will pass judgment! Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!"

The Second Announcement – Woe 2 Begins

(Revelation 14:8) Another Angel, a second one, followed, saying,

"She has fallen! She has fallen! Bavel the great! She made all the nations drink the wine of God's fury caused by her whoring!"

The Third Announcement – Woe 3 Begins

(Revelation 14:9) Another Angel, a third one, followed them and said in a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives the Mark on his forehead or on his hand,

(Revelation 14:10) he will indeed drink the wine of God's fury poured undiluted into the cup of his rage. He will be tormented by fire and sulfur before the holy Angels and before the Lamb,

(Revelation 14:11) and the smoke from their tormenting goes up forever and ever. They have no rest, day or night, those who worship the beast and its image and those who receive the mark of its name."

Sukkot – Feast of Tabernacles:

[Christ sets up Tabernacles, begins restoration of Jerusalem, and Reigns]

The Millennial Reign Begins

_Hanukkah/Chanukah - Feast of Lights/Dedication:_ (Beginning the 1000 year Reign. Year of Redemption is on hold.)

Perseverance Begins

(Revelation 14:12) This is when perseverance is needed on the part of God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise YESHUA's faithfulness.

Those who will follow Christ after those who were taken up in the Third Resurrection must obey God's commands for the 1000 year reign.

During the Millennial Reign God rebuilds Jerusalem, turns deserts into marshlands, feeds, restores and love's His people and anyone else who comes to Him by the Way of Holiness while ruling over those that do not accept him. It is literally God giving the unholy 1000 years to become holy and accept His free gift of eternal life.

**Read all of Isaiah 60, 61,62 and 66!** These chapters contain revelations of Christ's Millennial Reign. During the millennial reign God restores the planet to its original beauty and 'heaven' is close by because ADONAI is literally with His people! The sea "nations" is no longer there because Christ's kingdom is the only nation on Earth.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there.

_Hanukkah/Chanukah - Feast of Lights/Dedication:_ (Ending the 1000 year Reign of Christ and Continuing the Year of Redemption.)

A Different Perseverance Begins

GOG AND MAGOG

Ezekiel 38:1-9 (1) The word of ADONAI came to me: (2) "Human being, turn your face toward Gog (of the land of Magog), chief Prince of Meshekh and Tuval; and prophesy against him. (3) Say that ADONAI ELOHIM says, 'I'm against you, Gog chief Prince of Meshekh and Tuval. (4) I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all completely equipped, a great horde with breastplates and shields, all wielding swords. (5) Paras, Ethiopia and Put are with them, all with breastplates and helmets; (6) Gomer with all its troops; the house of Togarmah in the far reaches of the North, with all its troops – many peoples are with you. (7) Prepare yourself, get ready, you and all your crowd gathered around you; and take charge of them. (8) After many days have passed, you will be mustered for service; in later years you will invade the land which has been brought back from the sword, gathered out of many peoples, the mountains of Israel. They had been lying in ruins for a long time, but now Israel has been extracted from the peoples and all of them are living there securely. (9) You will come up like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land – you and all your troops, and many other peoples with you.'

The Fifth Plague

The Adversary is released.

Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, the Adversary will be set free from his prison ['for a little while' – Revelation 20:3]

(Revelation 17:8) The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the Abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not but is to appear.

Revelation 17:9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven Hills on which the woman is sitting; also they are seven Kings –

Revelation 17:10 five have fallen, one is living now and the other is yet to come; and when he does come, he must remain only a little while.

The Beast that was "Struck with the Sword" is restored (healed). The Beast will only be present for a little while after the 1000 year reign.

Perseverance against the Adversary

(Revelation 13:9) Those who have ears, let them hear!

(Revelation 13:10) "If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he goes! If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he is to be killed!" This is when God's holy people must persevere and trust!

The 8th Beast is Reborn

Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another Beast coming up out of the earth. It had Two Horns [two authority figures, the Adversary and False Prophet] like those of a lamb but spoke like a dragon.

Revelation 17:11 The beast which once was and now is not is an Eighth King; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction.

Revelation 13:12 It exercises all the authority of the first [8th] Beast in its presence; and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first [8th] beast, the one whose fatal wound had been healed.

Revelation 13:13 It {the Eighth Beast} performs great miracles, even causing fire to come down from heaven onto the earth as people watch.

Revelation 13:14 It [the 8th Beast – Adversary and False Prophet] deceives the people living on the earth by the miracles it is allowed to perform in the presence of the Beast [the Islamic people], and it tells them to make an image honoring the Beast that was struck by the sword [locked in the Abyss for 1000 years] but came alive again [was set free].

Resurrection of the false prophet:

Revelation 13:15 It (the Adversary) was allowed to put breath (his spirit) into the image (the representative/ False Prophet) of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast could even speak; and it was allowed to cause anyone who would not worship the image of the Beast to be put to death.

Revelation 13:16 Also it forces everyone – great and small, rich and poor, free and slave – to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead

Revelation 13:17 preventing anyone from buying or selling unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Revelation 17:13 They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

Revelation 13:18 This is where wisdom is needed; those who understand should count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person, and it's number is 666.

5th Shofar

(Revelation 9:1-6) The fifth Angel sounded his shofar; and I saw a star [the Adversary] that had fallen out of heaven onto the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss. He opened the shaft of the Abyss, and there went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a huge furnace; the sun was darkened, and the sky too, by the smoke from the shaft. Then out of the smoke onto the earth came locusts, and they were given power like the power scorpions have on earth. They were instructed not to harm [this harm actually means to hurt] the grass on the earth, or any green plant or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. The locusts were not allowed to kill them, only to inflict pain on them for five months; and the pain they caused was like the pain of a scorpion sting. In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

(Revelation 9:7-11) Now these locusts looked like horses outfitted for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of a Lions. Their chests were like iron breastplates, and the sound their wings made was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails like those of scorpions, with stings; and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months. They had as King over them the Angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in our language, "Destroyer."

Purim - Feasts of Lots

God is with His people in Jerusalem.

5th Bowl

(Revelation 16:10) The fifth one poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast [Pergamum], and its kingdom grew dark. People gnawed on their tongues from the pain,

(Revelation 16:11) yet they cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, and did not turn from their sinful deeds.

Revelation 14:13 Next I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write: 'How blessed are the dead who die united with the Lord, from now on!' 'Yes,' says the spirit, 'now they may rest from their efforts, for the things they have accomplished follow along with them.'"

**Pesach – Passover** – God delivers His people

(Luke 22:7-16) Then came the day of matzah, on which the Passover Lamb had to be killed. YESHUA sent Kefa (Peter) and Yochanan (John), instructing them, "Go and prepare our Seder, so we can eat." They asked him, "Where do you want us to prepare it?" He told them, "As you're going into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters, and say to its owner,' The Rabbi says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I am to eat the Pesach (Passover) meal with my talmidim (disciples)?" He will show you a large room upstairs already furnished; make the preparations there." They went and found things just as YESHUA had told them they would be, and they prepared for the Seder.

When the time came, YESHUA and the emissaries reclined at the table, and he said to them, "I have really wanted so much to celebrate the Seder with you before I die! For I tell you, it is certain that I will not celebrate it again until it is given its full meaning in the kingdom of God."

Christ embarks on His campaign to deliver his people.

(Revelation 14:14) Then I looked, and there before me was a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone like a Son of Man with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

(Revelation 14:15) Another Angel came out of the temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, "Start using your sickle to reap, because the time to reap has come – the earth's harvest is ripe!"

(Revelation 14:16) The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

Ezekiel 36:4 therefore, the mountains of Israel, hear the message of ADONAI ELOHIM – this is what ADONAI ELOHIM says to the mountains and hills, the streams and valleys, the desolate wastes and the abandoned cities, now preyed on and derided by the other surrounding nations –

Ezekiel 36:5 therefore this is what ADONAI ELOHIM says: "In the heat of my jealousy I speak against the other nations and all of the Edom, since, rejoicing with all their heart, they have arrogated my land to themselves as a possession and, with utter contempt, seized it as prey."

Ezekiel 36:7 therefore thus says ADONAI ELOHIM: "I have raised my hand and sworn that the nations surrounding you will bear their shame."

Isaiah 31:8 Then Ashur will fall by a sword not of mortals, a sword, not of humans, will devour him; he will flee before the sword, and his young men will be put to forced labor.

Isaiah 31:9 His rock, out of terror, will pass away, and his panicked officers will desert the standard." So says ADONAI, whose fire is in Tziyon (Zion), whose furnace is in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).

Hag HaMatzot – Feast of Unleavened Bread

Christ begins gathering the Unleavened Bread; those people tried by fire and are without sin that wait for YESHUA, from the surrounding nations that are deceived by the Beast and the False Prophet.

Reishit – Harvesting of the FirstFruits of battle.

Christ will return with the Christians He rescued and return to Jerusalem.

Isaiah 63:1 Who is this, coming from Edom, from Botzrah with clothing stained crimson, so magnificently dressed, so stately in his great strength? "It is I, who speak victoriously, I, well able to save."

Isaiah 63:2 Why is your apparel red, your clothes like someone treading a winepress?

Isaiah 63:3 "I have trodden the winepress alone; from the peoples, not one was with me. So I trod them in my anger, trampled them in my fury; so there lifeblood spurted out on my clothing, and I have stained all my garments;

Isaiah 63:4 for the day of vengeance that was in my heart and my year of redemption have come.

Isaiah 63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was appalled that no one upheld me. Therefore my own arm brought me salvation, and my own fury upheld me.

Isaiah 63:6 In my anger I trod down the peoples, made them drunk with my fury, then poured out there lifeblood on the earth."

Feast of Weeks – Pentecost

At this time at Pentecost is when God fulfills Revelation 7:15's "...the One who sits on the throne will put his Sh'khinah upon them." Revelation 7:15 referenced those taken to the clouds in the Third Resurrection but God will put His Glory and protection on them during Pentecost to prepare them for the Great Day of ADONAI in the Valley of Decision at the Battle of Har Megiddo.

The First Woe Announcement has Passed

(Revelation 9:12) The first woe has passed, but there are still two woes' (to come).

The invitation from Revelation 14:7, the first 'woe', to fear God give Him glory and worship God is fulfilled. God put His Glory on His Holy People.

Blow the Shofar in Zion

(Joel 2:1) "Blow the shofar in Tziyon (Zion)! Sound an alarm on my holy mountain!" Let all the living in the land tremble, for the day of ADONAI is coming! It's upon us! –

Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick fog; a great and mighty horde is spreading like blackness over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, nor will there ever be again, not even after the years of many generations.

(Joel 4:9) "Proclaim this among the nations: 'Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men approach and attack.'

Joel 4:10 Hammer your plow-blades into swords and your pruning-knives into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'

Joel 4:11 Hurry, come, you surrounding nations, gather yourselves together!"

Bring your warriors down, ADONAI!

Christ will descend from heaven with the armies of heaven, both Angels and immortalized humans! His robe is stained crimson from the previous harvesting of the earth as He was gathering His people from the surrounding deceived nations. Now peoples from the rest of the globe are coming.

Ezekiel 38:10-13 (10) "ADONAI ELOHIM says: 'When that day comes, thoughts will well up in your mind, and you will devise a sinister scheme. (11) You will say, "I am going to invade this land of unwalled villages; I will take by surprise these people who are at peace, living securely, all in places without walls, bars or gates. (12) I will seize the spoil and take the plunder." You will attack the formal ruins that are now inhabited and come against the people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and other wealth and are living in the central parts of the land. (13) Sh'va, D'dan and all the leading merchants of Tarshish will ask you, "Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hordes to loot; to carry off silver, gold, livestock and other wealth; to take much plunder?"'

The 6th Shofar

Revelation 9:13 The sixth Angel sounded his shofar, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,

Revelation 14:17 Another Angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.

Revelation 9:14 saying to the sixth Angel, the one with the shofar, "Release the four Angels that are bound at the great River Euphrates!"

Revelation 14:18 then out from the altar went yet another Angel, who is in charge of the fire [the Redeemed]; and he called in a loud voice to the one with the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because they are ripe!"

Sixth Bowl

(Revelation 16:12) The sixth one poured out his bowl on the great River Euphrates, and its water dried up, in order to prepare the way for the Kings of the East.

(Revelation 16:13) And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs; they came from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet.

(Revelation 16:14) They are miracle-working demonic spirits which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world to assemble them for the War of the Great Day of ADONAI-TZVA'OT [Lord of Heaven's Armies].

Revelation 20:8(a) and [The Adversary] will go out to deceive the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for the battle.

Revelation 16:15 ("Look! I am coming like a thief! How blessed are those who stay alert and keep their clothes clean, so that they won't be walking naked and be publicly put to shame!")

Ezekiel 38:14-16 (14) Therefore, human being, prophesy! Tell Gog that ADONAI ELOHIM says this: 'Won't you be aware of it when my people Israel are living in security? (15) You will choose just that time to come from your place in the far reaches of the North, you and many peoples with you, all of them on horseback, a huge horde, a mighty army; (16) and you will invade my people Israel like a cloud covering the land. This will be in the acharit-hayamim [end of days]; and I will bring you against my land, so that the Goyim [Gentiles] will know me when, before their eyes, I am set apart as holy through you, Gog.'

The Second Woe

Fulfilled - (Revelation 14:8) Another Angel, a second one, followed, saying, "She has fallen! She has fallen! Bavel the Great!" She made all the nations drink the wine of God's fury caused by her whoring!"

(Revelation 19:3) And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! Her [The whore] smoke goes up forever and ever!"

(Revelation 19:4) The twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, sitting on the throne, and said "Amen! Hallelujah!"

(Revelation 19:5) A voice went out from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great!"

The destruction of Saudi Arabia is now complete. There is nothing left to take and there is nothing left to destroy.

Second Woe Passed

(Revelation 11:14) The second woe has passed; see, the third woe is coming quickly.

After the passing of or 'the end of' the Second Woe, the Third Woe that is coming quickly is from Revelation 14:9-10 (below).

(Revelation 14:9) Another Angel, a third one, followed them and said in a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives the Mark on his fore-head or on his hand,

(Revelation14:10) he will indeed drink the wine of God's fury poured undiluted into the cup of his rage. He will be tormented by fire and sulfur before the holy Angels and before the Lamb,

So those that followed the Beast and have marked themselves with the insignia of the Beast will be thrown into the Lake of Fire very soon.

At the beginning of the Third Woe God's people must persevere which started immediately after the Fourth Shofar when Christ puts his feet down on mount Zion.

But, the fulfillment of the Third Woe comes very quickly after the Second Woe has passed. The Third Woe is fulfilled eternally, meaning it will never pass which is why "The Third Woe has passed" is not in the Book of Revelation.

Heaven Celebrates

Revelation 19:1 After these things, I heard what sounded like the roar of a huge crowd in heaven, shouting, "Halleluyah! The victory, the glory, the power of our God!

Revelation 19:2 For his judgments are true and just. He has judged the great whore who corrupted the earth with her whoring. He has taken vengeance on her who has the blood of his servants on her hands."

Christ destroyed the remnant of the whore while staining His robe crimson. He then turns authority over to ADONAI (at the culmination) but the remainder of the deceived is on their way to Jerusalem forming a massive uncountable horde of people from around the world. It is **not** 200 million Chinese people; although some Chinese people are possibly with the horde.

The 7th Shofar

Revelation 21:2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim [Jerusalem], coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Revelation 21:3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "See! God's Sh'khinah is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God.

Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will no longer be any death; and there will no longer be any mourning, crying or pain; because the old order has passed away."

Revelation 21:5 Then the One sitting on the Throne said, "Look! I'm making everything new!" Also he said, "Write, 'These words are true and trustworthy!'"

Revelation 11:15 The Seventh Angel sounded his Shofar; [semicolon] and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!"

Revelation 19:3 and a second time they said, "Halleluyah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever!"

Remember, the 4th resurrection takes place **days after** the sound from the 7th Shofar.

24 Elders

(Revelation 11:16) The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones in God's presence fell on their faces and worshiped God,

Revelation 19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, sitting on the throne, and said, "Amen! Halleluyah!"

Praising God

Revelation 19:5 A voice went out from the Throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great!"

Revelation 11:17 saying, "We thank you, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, the one who is and was, that you have taken your power and have begun to rule.

Revelation 19:6 Then I heard what sounded like a roar of a huge crowd, like the sound of rushing waters, like loud peals of thunder, saying, "Halleluyah! ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, has begun his reign!

The Culmination Begins

Revelation 11:18 "The Goyim [Gentiles] raged. But now your rage has come, the time for the dead to be judged, the time for renewing your servants the prophets and your holy people, those who stand in awe of your name, both small and great. It is also the time for destroying those who destroy the earth."

Ezekiel 38:17-23 (17) "ADONAI ELOHIM says: 'I spoke of you long ago to my servants the prophets of Israel. Back then, they prophesied for many years that I would have you invade them. (18) When that day comes, when Gog invades the land of Israel,' says ADONAI ELOHIM, 'My furious anger will boil up. (19) In my jealousy, in my heated fury I speak: when that day comes there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel; (20) so that the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the wild beasts, all the reptiles creeping on the ground and every human being there in the land will tremble before me. Mountains will fall, cliffs crumble and every wall crash to the ground. (21) I will summon a sword against him throughout all my mountains,' says ADONAI ELOHIM; 'every man will wield his sword against his brother. (22) I will judge him with plague and with blood. I will cause torrential rain to fall on him, his troops and the many peoples with him, along with huge hailstones, fire and sulfur. (23) I will show my greatness and holiness, making myself known in the sight of many nations; then they will know that I am ADONAI.'

Ezekiel 39:1-5 (1) So you, human being, prophesy against Gog; say that ADONAI ELOHIM says: 'I'm against you, Gog, chief Prince of Meshekh and Tuval. (2) I will turn you around, lead you on and bring you from the far reaches of the North against the mountains of Israel. (3) Then I will knock your bow out of your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. (4) You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, your troops and all the peoples with you; I will give you to be eaten up by all kinds of birds of prey and by wild animals. (5) You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken,' says ADONAI ELOHIM.

Wedding Preparations

Revelation 19:7 "Let us rejoice and be glad! Let us give him the glory! For the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself –

Bride Prepares Herself

Revelation 19:8 fine linen, bright and clean have been given her to wear."

("Fine linen" means the righteous deeds of God's people.)

How Blessed are those Invited to Wedding Feast

Revelation 19:9 The Angel said to me, "Write: 'How blessed are those who have been invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!'" Then he added, "These are God's very words."

Worship God!

Revelation 19:10 I fell at his feet to worship him; but he said, "Don't do that! I'm only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers who have the testimony of YESHUA. Worship God! For the testimony of YESHUA is the Spirit of Prophecy."

The Armies Have Gathered-7

Revelation 16:16 And they gathered the kings to the place which in Hebrew is called Har Megiddo.

7TH BOWL

(Revelation 16:17) The seventh one poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the Throne, saying, "IT IS DONE!"

Revelation 21:6 And he said to me, "IT IS DONE! 'I am the 'A' and the 'Z',' the Beginning and the End. To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the fountain of life.

The fulfillment of Revelation 15:8's, "no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels had accomplished their purpose." **Is Done!**

Revelation 21:7 He who wins the victory will receive these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the untrustworthy, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those involved with the occult and with drugs, Idol-worshipers, and all liars – their destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death."

Heaven Opens Up-11:19 & 19:11

Revelation 11:19 (1 of 6) Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened, and the Ark of the Covenant was seen in his Temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake and violent hail.

Revelation 19:11 Next I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. Sitting on it was the one called faithful and true, and it is in righteousness that he passes judgment and goes to battle.

Description of the Bride

Revelation 21:9-27 One of the seven angels having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues approached me and said, "Come! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."

Revelation 21:10 He carried me off in the spirit to the top of a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

Revelation 21:11 It had the Sh'khinah glory of God, so that its brilliance was like that of a priceless jewel, like a crystal-clear diamond.

Revelation 21:12 It had a great, high wall with 12 gates; at the gates were 12 Angels; and inscribed on the gates were the names of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Revelation 21:13 There were three gates to the East, three gates to the north, three gates to the south and three gates to the west.

Revelation 21:14 The wall of the city was built on 12 foundations-stones, and on these were the 12 names of the 12 emissaries of the Lamb.

Revelation 21:15 The Angel speaking with me had a gold measuring-rod with which to measure the city, its gates and its wall.

Revelation 21:16 The city is laid out in a square, its length equal to its width. With his rod he measured the city at 1500 miles, with the length, width and height the same.

Revelation 21:17 He measured its wall at 216 feet by human standards of measurement, which the Angel was using.

Revelation 21:18 The wall was made of diamond and the city of pure gold resembling pure glass.

Revelation 21:19 The foundations of the city wall were decorated with all kinds of precious stones – the first foundation stone was diamond, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

Revelation 21:20 the fifth's sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the 11th turquoise and the 12th amethyst.

Revelation 21:21 The 12 gates were 12 pearls, with each gate made of a single pearl. The city's main street was pure gold, transparent as glass.

Revelation 22

Revelation 22: 1-5 Next the angel showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Between the main street and the river was the Tree of Life producing 12 kinds of fruit, a different kind every month; and the leaves of the tree were for healing the nations – no longer will there be any curses. The Throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will no longer exist, so they will need neither the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because ADONAI, God, will shine upon them. And they will reign as kings forever and ever.

Revelation 22:6 Then he said to me, "These words are true and trustworthy: ADONAI, God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon."

Notice verse six says 'servants' (plural). This prophecy is not just for John but for everyone who serves the Lord; for everyone to understand the Book of Revelation!

Revelation 22:7 "Look! I am coming very soon. Blessed is the person who obeys the words of the prophecy written in this book!"

Revelation 22:8-9 Then I, Yochanan, the one hearing and seeing these things, when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the Angel showing them to me. But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers, the prophets and the people who obey the words in this book. Worship God!"

Revelation 22:10 Then he said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy in this book, because the time for their fulfillment is near."

And the 'words of this book' began being fulfilled after Jesus was resurrected and before Jerusalem's destruction in 70 A.D.

Revelation 22:11 "Whoever keeps acting wickedly, let him go on acting wickedly; whoever is filthy, let him go on being made filthy. Also, whoever is righteous, let him go on doing what is righteous; and whoever is holy, let him go on being made holy."

Revelation 22:12-13 "Pay attention!" [Says YESHUA,] "I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done. I am the 'A' and the 'Z', the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

Revelation 22:14-17 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, sexually immoral, murderers, Idol-worshipers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. "I, YESHUA, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star. The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' Let anyone who hears say, 'Come!' And let anyone who is thirsty come – let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge."

Revelation 22:18-19 I warn everyone hearing the words of the prophecy in this book that if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. And if anyone takes anything away from the words in the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life in the holy city, as described in this book.

Revelation 22:20 "The one who is testifying to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming very soon!'" Amen! Come, Lord YESHUA!

Revelation 22:21 May the grace of the Lord YESHUA be with all!

Notice that the word 'cowardly' in Revelation 21:8 is not mentioned in Revelation 22:15. Another word added in some interpretations with cowardly is the word lazy. It stands to reason that even if you cannot do all that is righteous in the eyes of God that you should at least try! Again, God knows your heart which is why the man who tears his clothes and cries out to God saying he is an unworthy sinner is greater than those showing themselves in the high places adorned in fine clothing and believing that they are truly righteous. God loves a repentant heart. But cunning and deceitful hearts will burn. You cannot fool God!!

*LIGHTNING

Revelation 11:19 (2 of 6) and there were flashes of lightning,

Revelation 16:18 (1 of 4) There were flashes of lightning, voices and peals of thunder; and there was a massive earthquake, such as has never occurred since mankind has been on earth, so violent was the earthquake.

Revelation 19:12 His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. And he had a name written which no one knew but himself.

Revelation 19:13 He was wearing a robe that had been soaked in blood, and the name by which he is called is, "THE WORD OF GOD."

Revelation 19:14 The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.

*VOICES

Revelation 11:19 (3 of 6) voices,

Revelation 16:18 (2 of 4) voices

Notice 9:15 & 19:15

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down nations – "He will rule them with a staff of iron." It is he who treads the winepress from which flows the wine of the furious rage of ADONAI, God of heaven's armies.

Revelation 9:15 And they were released. These four Angels had been kept ready for this moment, for this day and month and year, to kill a third of mankind;

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

Revelation 19:16 And on his robe and on his side he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Wedding Feast Invitation –Birds Gather

Revelation 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds that fly about in mid-heaven, "Come, gather together for the great feast God is giving,

Revelation 19:18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of important men, the flesh of horses and their riders in the flesh of all kinds of people, free and slave, small and great!"

Ezekiel 39:17-20 (17) "As for you, human, ADONAI ELOHIM says that you are to speak to all kinds of birds and to every wild animal as follows: "Assemble yourselves and come, gather yourselves from all around for the sacrifice I am preparing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, where you can eat flesh and drink blood! (18) You will eat the flesh of heroes and drink the blood of the earth's princes – rams, lambs, goats and bulls, fattened by Bashan, all of them. (19) You will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood till you are drunk at the sacrifice I have prepared for you. (20) At my table you will be satiated with horses, horseman, heroes and every kind of warrior,' says ADONAI ELOHIM.

Ezekiel 39:21-24 (21) "'Thus will I display my glory among the nations, so that all the nations will see my judgment when I execute it and my hand when I lay it on them. (22) From that day on, the house of Israel would know that I am ADONAI their God; (23) while the Goyim [Gentiles] will know that the house of Israel went into exile because of their guilt, because they broke faith with me; so that I hid my face from them and handed them over to their adversaries; and they fell by the sword, all of them. (24) Yes, I treated them as their uncleanness and crimes deserved; and I hid my face from them.'

Preparing the Battle of Har Megiddo

Joel 4:12 "Let the nations be roused and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat [ADONAI Judges]. For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations."

Revelation 9:16 and the number of Calvary soldiers was [murias] 200 million (an indefinable number!) – I heard the number.

Revelation 20:8(b) Their number is countless as the sand on the seashore;

Revelation 14:19 The Angel swung his sickle down onto the earth, gathered the earth's grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's fury.

Description of Enemy Army

Revelation 9:17 Here is how the horses looked in the vision: the riders had breastplates that were fire-red, iris-blue and sulfur-yellow; the horses' heads were like lions' heads; and from their mouths issued fire, smoke and sulfur.

Revelation 9:18 It was these three plagues that killed a third of mankind – the fire, smoke and sulfur issuing from the horses' mouths.

Revelation 9:19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths – and also in their tails, for their tails were like snakes with heads, and with them they could cause injury.

Joel 2:3 Ahead of them a fire devours, behind them a flame consumes; Ahead the land is like Gan-'Eden (the Garden of Eden), behind them a desert waste. From them there is no escape.

Joel 2:4 They look like horses, and like Calvary they charge.

Joel 2:5 With a rumble like that of chariots they leap over the mountain tops, like crackling flames devouring stubble, like a mighty hoard in battle array.

Joel 2:6 At their presence the peoples writhe in anguish, every face is drained of color.

Joel 2:7 Like warriors they charge, they scale the wall like soldiers. Each one keeps to his own course, without getting in the other's way.

Joel 2:8 They don't jostle each other, but stay on their own paths; they burst through defenses unharmed, without even breaking rank.

Joel 2:9 They rush into the city, they run along the wall, they climb up into the houses, entering like a thief through the windows.

Revelation 20:9(a) and they came up over the breadth of the Land and surrounded the camp of God's people and the city he loves.

Joel 2:10 At their advanced the earth quakes, and the sky shakes, the sun and moon turned black, and the stars stop shining.

Har Megiddo Begins

(Revelation 17:14) They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because he is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with him."

The "chosen" are the 144,000 Chosen Jewish people and the "faithful" are all the Immortal Redeemed from the Third Resurrection.

(Revelation 19:19) I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to battle with the rider of the horse and his Army.

Revelation 20:9(b) But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

Ezekiel 39:6-8 (6) '"I will also send fire against Magog and against those living securely in the coastal lands; then they will know that I am ADONAI. (7) I will make my holy name known among my people Israel; I will not allow my holy name to be profaned any longer. Then the Goyim [Gentiles] will know that I am ADONAI, the Holy One in Israel. (8) Yes, this is coming, and it will be done,' says ADONAI ELOHIM; 'this is the day about which I have spoken.'"

Joel 4:13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, and tread, for the winepress is full. The vats are overflowing, for their wickedness is great.

Joel 4:14 Such enormous crowds in the Valley of Decision! For the day of ADONAI is upon us in the Valley of Decision!

Joel 4:15 The sun and moon have grown black, and the stars have stopped shining.

*THUNDERS

Revelation 11:19 (4 of 6) peals of thunder,

Revelation 16:18 (3 of 4) and peals of thunder

Joel 4:16 ADONAI will roar from Zion, He will thunder from Jerusalem, the sky and the earth will shake. But ADONAI will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

Joel 2:11 ADONAI shouts orders to his forces – his Army is immense, mighty, and it does what he says. For great is the day of ADONAI, fearsome, terrifying! Who can endure it?

ADONAI is in command hence this is after the culmination.

Joel 4:17 "You will know that I am ADONAI your God, living on Zion my holy mountain." Then Jerusalem will be holy, and foreigners will pass through her no more.

Joel 2:12 "Yet even now," says ADONAI, "turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and lamenting."

Grace, Love and Mercy for the deceived sinners coming to their destruction are given by ADONAI Himself. He doesn't want to destroy His creation but the deceived give Him no choice.

Joel 2:13 Tear your heart, not your garments; and turn to ADONAI your God. For he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace, and willing to change his mind about disaster.

Joel 2:14 Who knows? He may turn, change his mind and leave a blessing behind him, [enough for] grain offerings and drink offerings to present to ADONAI your God.

Revelation 14:20 The winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress as high as the horses bridles for 200 miles!

Also the Bride, the New Jerusalem city, is causing atmospheric disturbances or 'peals of thunder' as it descends from heaven.

Beast and False Prophet Thrown Into Lake of Fire

(Revelation 19:20) But the Beast was taken captive, and with it the False Prophet who, in its presence, had done miracles which he had used to deceive those who had received the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped his image. The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the Lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

Adversary Thrown in Lake of Fire

(Revelation 20:10) The Adversary who had deceived them was hurled into the Lake of Fire and Sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Re-cap (Revelation 14:11) and the smoke from their tormenting goes up forever and ever. They have no rest, day or night, those who worship the beast and its image and those who receive the Mark of its name."

The Wedding Feast

(Revelation 19:21) The rest were killed with the sword that goes out of the mouth of the rider on the horse [Christ] and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

*EARTHQUAKE

[When a 1500 square mile city hits the earth, there is going to be trouble.]

Revelation 11:19 (5 of 6) an earthquake,

Revelation 16:18 (4 of 4) and there was a massive earthquake, such as has never occurred since mankind has been on earth, so violent was the earthquake.

Revelation 16:19 The great city was split into three parts, the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Bavel the great and made her drink the wine from the cup of his raging fury.

The Great Holy City New Jerusalem crashes down on what was Babylon (Bavel), destroying the city splitting it into three parts and the nation's cities around the globe fall to pieces and New Jerusalem lands on Bavel's remains splitting it into three parts and there-by also depressing the earth underneath causing the 200 mile river of blood to flow to Bavel making her drink the cup (valley) of His raging fury.

The Great White Throne

Revelation 20:11 (1 of 2) Next I saw a Great White Throne and The One sitting on it.

The Guilty Hide

Revelation 16:20 Every island fled, and no mountains were to be found.

Revelation 20:11 (2 of 2) Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.

Every island (small groups of unholy people) fled, and no mountains (nations) were to be found.

*VIOLENT HAIL

Revelation 11:19 (6 of 6) and violent hail.

Revelation 16:21 (1 of 2) And huge seventy-pound hailstones fell on people from the sky.

[Vortexes in the atmosphere, caused by the city coming down, create large hail.]

Revelation 6:15 Then the earths Kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and mighty – indeed, everyone, slave and free – hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains,

Revelation 6:16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the Face of the One sitting on the Throne [ADONAI], and from the fury of the Lamb!

Revelation 6:17 For the Great Day of Their Fury has come, and who can stand?"

People Curse God

Revelation 16:21 (2 of 2) But the people cursed God for the plague of hail, that it was such a terrible plague.

Revelation 9:20 The rest of mankind, those who were not killed by these plagues, even then did not turn from what they had made with their own hands – they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.

What kind of IDIOTS is God dealing with here?

Revelation 9:21 Nor do they turn from their murdering, their involvement with the occult and with drugs, their sexual immorality or their stealing.

Ezekiel 39:9-10 (9) "'Those living in Israel's cities will go out and set fire to the weapons, to use as fuel – the shields, breastplates, bows, arrows, clubs and spears; they will use them for fire seven years; (10) so that they will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut down any from the force; because they will use the weapons for fire. Thus they will plunder those who plundered them and rob those who robbed them,' says ADONAI ELOHIM.

Ezekiel 39:11-16 (11) "'When that day comes, I will give Gog a place there in Israel for graves, the Travelers' Valley, east of the sea; and it will block the travelers' passage. There they will bury Gog and all his horde, and they will rename it the Valley of Hamon-Gog [Horde of Gog]. (12) It will take the house of Israel seven months to bury them, in order to cleanse the land. (13) Yes, all the people of the land will be bearing them; they will become famous for it. It will be a day for me to be glorified,' Says ADONAI ELOHIM. (14) 'They will then pick men for the continual duty of going through the land and burying with the travelers the corpses still lying out on the ground, in order to cleanse it; they will begin their search after the seven months. (15) As they go through the land, if anyone sees a human bone, you'll put a marker next to it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-Gog. (16) Moreover, "Hamonah" [its horde] will be the name of a city. Thus will they cleanse the land.'

Judgment

(Revelation 20:12) And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the Throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they have done.

(Revelation 20:13) The sea gave up the dead in it; and Death and Sh'ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done.

(Revelation 20:14) Then Death and Sh'ol were hurled into the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death – the Lake of Fire.

(Revelation 20:15) Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was hurled into the Lake of Fire.

The Fourth Resurrection

Recap - Revelation 10:7 "on the contrary, in the days of the sound from the seventh Angel when he sounds his shofar, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion, the good news as he proclaimed it to his servants the prophets."

Sometime after the Seventh and Final Shofar is blown, everyone whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, at this time, will be changed from a mortal to an immortal with Christ. This is the Forth Resurrection to Life.

(Revelation 20:5) (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.)

The 'in parenthesis' (rest of the dead) are the holy ones, those of the Fourth Resurrection, after the thousand years are over.

Note: The 'First Death' is death to the flesh, your body. The 'Second Death' is the loss of your soul, when your Soul is sent to Hell. This verse from Revelation 20:6 reassures that the bodies of those written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be immortalized at the Forth Resurrection. This also theorizes that those resurrected in the Second Resurrection was susceptible to the power of a physical death, meaning that the Second Resurrected did eventually die. However this is unlikely for the Third Resurrected because they will rule with Christ during the 1000 years. And, God puts His protection on them, that is, His Sh'khinah on Pentecost! Now for those of the Forth Resurrection, Death has No Power over them because God immortalizes their bodies for eternity. This is the Good News!

The GOOD NEWS Explained

And the Good News is explained in Chapter 15 of First Corinthians. Here are a few highlights.

(First Corinthians 15:1-2) Now, brothers, I must remind you of the Good News which I proclaimed to you, and which you received, and on which you have taken your stand, and by which you are being saved – provided you keep holding fast to the message I proclaimed to you. For if you don't [hold fast to the message of the Good News], your trust will have been in vain.

(First Corinthians 15:24-26) then [At] the culmination, when he [Christ] hands over the Kingdom to God the Father (ADONAI), and, after having put an end to every rulership, yes, to every authority and power. For he has to rule until he puts all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be done away with will be death,

(First Corinthians 15:50-58) Let me say this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, nor can something that decays share in what does not decay. Look, I will tell you a secret – not all of us will die! But we will all be changed! It will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the Final Shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we too will be changed. For this material which can decay must be clothed with imperishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality. When what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality, then this passage in the Tanakh will be fulfilled:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

"Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?"

Then what follows

Joel 4:18 Then, when the time comes, the mountains will drip with sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the streambeds of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of ADONAI to water the Sheetim Valley.

Joel 4:19 But Egypt will be desolate and Edom a desert waste, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land.

Joel 4:20 Judah will be inhabited forever, Jerusalem through all generations.
CHAPTER 35 - CLOSING

The atoms of the universe from every created thing are held together by God. His love for us binds Himself to His Word. He created us to be His living companions for all eternity. You, being created within this world, are an infinitesimal test of your faith in the Creator. This life allows you the opportunity to learn about, trust and love your Creator or follow the desires of the Adversary. The Adversary's sole purpose is to destroy you. The Creator's purpose is for you to live (that is why he originally created you). A person cannot even imagine what God has for them; blessings of prosperity here on earth and unimaginable blessings in eternity. God is Love. HE IS!

A True God provides everything for His creation! Let God be God in your life; the God who provides for you! This is Creator/Creation Relationship 101.

Now don't blame God for the horrible things that have happened in your life, blame the Adversary. No matter who or what you are or were, God made a road for you to escape to a wonderful eternity of everlasting life and paved it with His own Son's blood Jesus Christ. Choose salvation with Christ first, then allow the Spirit to guide you every day. And remember, God's ways are not man's ways; God's ways are so much higher than man's ways. He forgives so much more.

Man's ways have a track record of messing things up so follow the Spirit and develop that intimate relationship with the Creator that He desires to have with you! This is what salvation through Jesus Christ is all about!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and everything on the earth including man, then after an undisclosed amount of time man sinned against God and created our 7000 year (outside the camp) punishment. The undisclosed amount of time before man's sin was when men and women walked with God on the earth. This was the 'one on one' relationship with our Creator. Principalities allowed the Adversary to deceive man causing his downfall. But God's plan of Redemption for man was established and it's soon to come to a closure. And afterwards, man and God will enjoy our 'one on one' relationship again; never again to have an Adversary take it away!

The Author

The author of RGM simply put is a scumbag sinner; a failure by man's standards. It is only by God's Grace and Mercy and YESHUA's sacrifice that I will stand confident before the Throne of the Creator. This isn't a religion, it is the Truth! Only God provided the means to deliver this interpretation to you.

The Book

For you, Revelations of Grace and Mercy is what you believe it is. As was foretold in the Book of Revelation, John was seeing visions for each chapter and each interruption in Revelation was John trying to show the reader what he saw. John wanted to explain to you the Love, Grace, and Mercy of God in the last days which began immediately after Christ's Resurrection!

Revelations of Grace and Mercy is over 7 years of unfinished work in progress. My goal is to bring you the **truest** and most accurate definition of the Book of Revelation. God said to freely give what you freely receive which is why RGM will never be for sale (unless books are a demand and monies are accepted to cover production). No One is allowed to sell any of this material in a book or otherwise! Preachers sell the Word of God every day in their books but not one of them gave a drop of blood to receive it from ADONAI. Christ Jesus spilled His blood so He could receive everything from ADONAI the Father to give to man, not sell it to man for a price! John never sold Revelation Scrolls on the street corners of Jerusalem.

What if you are wrong?

I have asked that question many times throughout life including questioning the "Christian" faith. After researching many religions I came to the conclusion that the God of the Jewish people is the most powerful, the Creator, and the one who wins in the end. Then I began questioning the American interpretation of God's Word; that whole seven year tribulation thing. In doing so I found the Jewish God full of Love, Grace and Mercy. For you, the reader, God is who your heart defines Him as. Don't let what man has done to you rob you from your beautiful eternity with the Creator. Man is full of lies with his own interests and he usually destroys anything and anyone who gets in his way, but don't take it personal and do not blame God! Your ancestors threw out God and His ways, so do not blame Him! Instead, receive what the Creator has for you, Redemption! Receive Love that is so strong it overwhelms the desires of sex. Receive Grace that overwhelms the body and soul which helps you forget the past and enjoy the blessings God has for you. Receive Mercy for anything and everything you have done that was evil in the eyes of the Creator. Just Receive!

Now these are the final days and we are not guaranteed a tomorrow. So it is better to have faith in our God and to be one of the redeemed and not miss the greater Blessing of the Third Resurrection. And how much more blessed the people of the Third Resurrection will be compared to those who missed it. To make a change in your life you need help and the Helper is the Holy Spirit of God who dwells on earth with us now. He dwells on earth with us awaiting our invitation to allow Him to dwell in us so we can receive the blessings of God the Father. Amen.

If you want an eternal life of Peace, Love, Safety, Compassion, Strength, and a Brother that won't let you down, a Father that cares and supplies everything you need and desire, a Holy Spirit to Guide you, and an eternity with family and loved ones, then ask Christ Jesus, YESHUA, the Messiah to be your Lord and Savior.

Then ask the Father, ADONAI to send His Spirit to dwell with you and help you throughout life and then stand ready to receive all the promises that God, your Creator, has for your life! AMEN!

GOD LOVES YOU!!!
