Chapter
I
The
stage is empty, the
narrator begins:
“The
four horsemen
of the Apocalypse are ready to mount their horses. The riders
stand
anxiously waiting while their horses impatiently paw the ground.”
“The
first horse
is a magnificent white Arabian decked in war regalia. His
fair-skinned
rider is equally arrayed in fine French satin with a huge satin ribbon
draped
across his shoulder and torso and tied up in the back in a
bow. Upon his head
is a golden crown, placed there by the pope himself. Although
later
detractors will say that he grabbed the crown from the pope and placed
it upon
his own head.”
And
I
saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a
crown
was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer. Revelation
6:2
“The
second horse
is an auburn stallion with a finely oiled brown saddle upon his
back. A
military man stands beside his horse, decked in dress greys with ruddy
complexion. He has allied his German forces with
And
there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him
that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another:
and there was given unto him a great sword. Revelation
6:4
“The
third
horse’s shiny black coat is glistening in the sunlight. The
rider
stands beside his horse, dressed smartly in a business suit.
He will gain
his kingdom by peace and through peace brings economic collapse and
famine upon
the whole earth. While he stands impatiently waiting to
mount, one
can’t help but notice that he is of darker complexion and taller than
the
second horseman. And then one notices also that the second
horseman is of
darker complexion and taller than the first. The name of the
third
horseman? His name is, “The Lawless One”.”
And
when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come
and see.
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair
of
balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four beasts
say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a
penny;
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Revelation
6:5-6
The
coming of the
lawless one by the
activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and
wonders
(RSV) 2
Thessalonians 2:9
The
narrator continues,
“The first horseman mounts his horse and proceeds onto the World
stage”. At that instance a white horse begins to appear from
the side of
the stage.
All
at once the Director
storms onto the stage.
“Stop
the horses!
Whoa, Nellie! Back the train back into the Station!
Cut the
Record!” Scratch!
“Can’t
you
read your scripts? I specifically told everyone that the
“Rapture
Scene” happens first. I can’t have you all teaching your
followers that the Rapture is imminent with these horsemen on the
stage.
Now, you are all going to have more work trying to lull your followers
back to
sleep. Remember, your talking points! The Rapture
can happen at any
moment! There are NO signs preceding the Rapture!
No one knows the
Day or Hour! The Disciples expected the Rapture within their
lifetime! The Rapture could have happened any time during the
last 2000
years! Repeat after me!”
The
Great Apostasy
The
director had
left. The watchers were left with searching the sacred
scripture for
themselves.
And
as
he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy
coming,
and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name,
saying, I
am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars
and rumours
of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass,
but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes,
in divers places. Matthew
24:3-7
One
watcher said,
“Sounds to me like Christ was saying that much time would pass before
He
returned. Surely He was telling His disciples that there
would be many
wars and rumors of wars and nation rising against nation and kingdom
against
kingdom. This would have left little doubt that the Rapture
would not be
within their lifetime. Then why were the watchers being
taught that the
disciples were expecting Christ to return in their lifetime?”
“The
apostle Paul
in fact spoke about the rapture, in his first letter to the
Thessalonians:”
and
then we who remaining alive, shall be rapt
with them together in clouds, to the meeting of
our Lord in the
expanse and so always with our Lord shall we be.
(Etheridge) I
Thessalonians 4:17
“However,
false
rumors started circulating among the Thessalonians that they had missed
the
coming of Christ and their gathering together to Him in the
Rapture.
Which prompted clarification from Paul in his second letter:”
Now
we request you, brethren, with
regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering
together to
Him, that you not be quickly shaken from
your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a
letter as
if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
Let no one
in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes
first, and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
(NAS)
II Thessalonians 2:1-3
The
other watchers stopped
and thought. Another said, “Obviously, to watch for the
coming of
the Prince of Peace we must first watch for the apostasy, the falling
away from
the true faith, with the revealing of the man of lawlessness, the son
of
destruction, the Lawless One.” Still another said, “I’ve
been taught that the apostasy will be when the Protestant faiths
abandon their
historicist view of prophecy and embrace heresies developed by the
Catholic
Church to lead Protestants astray and away from historicism.
Those two
heresies are preterism, which teaches that all of Bible prophecy has
occurred
in the past with the destruction of
The
Lawless One
Let
no
one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the
rebellion comes
first, and the man
of lawlessness
is revealed, the son of perdition, (RSV)
2 Thessalonians 2:3
And
then the
lawless one will be
revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth
and
destroy him by his appearing and his coming. The coming of the lawless one
by the activity of Satan
will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders,
(RSV) 2
Thessalonians 2:8-9
Another
watcher asked,
“What does it mean to be lawless? Does it mean to be without
the
law or to not obey the law? But what law are we talking
about, the law of
God or the law of Man?”
“Good
question,” responded another.
For
until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there
is no
law.
Romans 5:13
Moreover
the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace
did much more abound: Romans
5:20
The
Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin
increased,
grace abounded all the more, (NAS)
Romans 5:20
“When
laws are
created, transgressions increase. What had been lawful, as
there was no
law, when outlawed, increases lawlessness. And sinful human
nature also
means when someone is forbidden from doing something, they are then
often
tempted to do that very thing.”
What
shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known
sin, but by
the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not
covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought
in me all
manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
For I was
alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived,
and I
died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I
found to be unto
death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived
me, and by
it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment
holy, and
just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto
me? God
forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that
which is
good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans 7:7-13
Pope,
Prince, or President
The
same watcher
continued. “Because of this emphasis on “lawlessness” I
think we can reach several conclusions when we search for the lawless
one’s identity.”
1.
He practices
lawlessness. “This of course is obvious. But it
must be
practiced on a grand scale to be THE lawless one. Therefore
this person
in his position must actively be making laws that affect multitudes of
people
AND he must be making these laws unlawfully.”
2.
He knows and
rigorously studied the law. “To be able to practice
lawlessness to
its fullest, he must know what the law says. In Old Testament
times,
those who “studied” the law were the Rabbi’s. However,
today in many law schools the law unfortunately is taught
differently. It
is not taught as a way of separating right from wrong. Nor is
it even
taught as a way of rewarding good and punishing evil. Good
and evil are
considered relative. It is not even about truth.
Truth is relative.
There is no absolute truth. The law is only a way of
resolving conflicts
and disputes. In such an environment we would expect “the
lawless
one” to thrive. We would expect him to have studied the law
of
man.”
3.
He taught the
law. “How better is it to know the law than to teach
it? For
isn’t it recorded in scripture:”
Desiring
to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor
whereof
they affirm. I
Timothy 1:7
“And
continuing:”
But
we
know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing
this, that
the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and
disobedient,
for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers
of
fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For
whoremongers, for
them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for
liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other
thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; I
Timothy 1:8-10
4.
He practices
law. “Yes, we would expect the lawless one to have the
practice of
law as his profession. Yes, we would expect him to be a
lawyer.”
The
coming of the
lawless one by the
activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and
wonders
(RSV)
2 Thessalonians 2:9
“Can
we expect
nothing less? He will follow after his father satan who is
indeed a lawyer of
the first-order and by far the craftiest of all lawyers. Do
you not know
that this has been satan’s job the past millennium, accusing the
brethren
day and night before the Judge of the whole world? And he is
very
“good” at it. Or should we say “bad” or evil at
it.”
Now
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before
the
LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto
Satan,
Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going
to and
fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the
LORD said
unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none
like him in
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and
escheweth
evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear
God for
nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his
house, and
about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his
hands,
and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth
thine hand now,
and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 1:6-11
And
I
heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and
strength, and
the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of
our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night. Revelation
12:10
“We
all would be
destined to hell for our sins if we didn’t have the best defense
attorney
in the Universe, our advocate, Jesus Christ.”
If
we
say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us. My
little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if
any man
sin, we have an
advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: I
John 1:10-2:1
5.
He prospers
lawyers. “We know that he will spend or have spent under his
policies and direction, massive amounts of money on
attorneys. This is
the profession where craftiness is an art form and justice can be
subverted, at
least temporarily, given enough resources to lawyers.”
And
through his policy also he
shall cause craft
to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify
himself in his heart,
and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the
Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:25
6.
He will be
illegitimate from birth. “We would expect him to be
illegitimate
from a very, very early age, most likely from birth. And we
know that
from a young age children pattern their behavior after their
parents. So
we expect that his mom went to great lengths to cover up the fact of
his
illegitimate birth. We expect him to continue throughout his
life in all
sorts of illegal behaviors, illegal drugs, illegal sex, and possibly
even
hiding or forging of documents to make himself appear more
legitimate. We
would expect the documents he forges or hides to be “legal”
documents such as birth certificate, passport, visas, school records,
etc.”
7.
Although
illegitimate, he will be received by the same people who rejected Jesus
Christ.
“Although illegitimate from birth, he will be received by the same
people
who rejected Jesus Christ who was legitimate from birth. A
father does not and
cannot give birth to his child. But a father can give his
child his name by
being in the covenant of marriage with his child’s mother.
Jesus Christ
came into this world with the name given him by his earthly
father. The
lawless one will be born without a legitimate father.
Although we expect the
mother may go to great lengths to cover up the fact that the father
never gave
his child his last name through marriage. And Jesus Christ
prophesied that
such a man would be received by his tribe, the tribe of
I
am
come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come
in his
own name, him ye will receive.
John 5:43
The
REAL Number of the Beast
But
there were other
watchers who wanted more evidence. “We know from scripture
that the
lawless one will have a name whose number is 666, do we not?” said one.
“Yes
and
no,” said another. ‘What scripture says is:”
And he causeth
all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right
hand, or
in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is
wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it
is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and
six.
Revelation 13:16-18
“So,”
said the other. “Not just anyone can
count his number and come to 666. It requires both wisdom and
understanding. In other words it must be because the normal
counting of
the number of his name DOES NOT equal 666. Clearly, the
number 6 is
prominent in the conversion, being repeated 3 times for emphasis in
666.
And only through wisdom and understanding can we convert from 666 to
the REAL
number of the beast.”
The
other watchers had worried looks upon their faces.
“What do you mean?” asked one of them.
The
watcher continued. “Let’s start out by realizing
that satan will take over and control the beast. This really
means that
satan will BECOME the beast. The lawless one will become
satan incarnate.”
“A very
unusual thing can be noted if you study all the various
names of satan throughout scripture. Every single time, the
number of the
name of satan is a multiple of the number 13. Every single
time.
One instance of coming to 13 for satan’s main name could be chocked up
to
coincidence. But every single time? So should we
expect anything
less than the number of the name of the lawless one to have to be a
multiple of
13?”
The
watcher continued. “You may have noticed that the
number 666 is not a multiple of 13. Nor is the number 216,
the number of
the beast that was used in a very popular book series because it is 6
times 6
times 6. Likewise 18, or 6 plus 6 plus 6, is not a multiple
of 13.”
“Let me
pull up a reference book to show you more. Let’s
see”, said the watcher. “Here it is. James
Harrison’s “The Pattern & The Prophecy”. On pages
130-133, he brings up, “The Gematria of satan”. He brings up
that the word “satan”, both in the Old Testament Hebrew (364 = 13 x
28) and in the New Testament Greek (559 = 13 x 43) are multiples of the
number
13. He also brings up how throughout history the number 13
has had a bad
reputation such as Friday to 13th, avoidance of
numbering a room 13,
or a 13th floor. He asks:”
Is the
fear of this number nothing but a modern superstition? If you
believe so,
then you have your time-frame reversed. The 13’s in the two
forms
of satans name came first; the fear and superstition came second.
“He
goes on to list the many names of satan and how they all are
divisible by 13. For example in Hebrew “serpent” (1300 = 13 x
10), Greek “serpent” (780 = 13 x 60), Greek “tempter”
Matthew 4:3 (1053 = 13 x 81), “belial” (78 = 13 x 6), John 8:44
“murderer” (1820 = 13 x 140), original spelling “devil”
(195 = 13 x 15), “dragon” (975 = 13 x 75), and so on. James
Harrison goes on to conclude:”
Yes,
all the names and titles of satan are multiples of 13!
“Wow!”,
said another watcher.
“But
let me continue,” said the one watcher.
“Please do,” said another.
“I have
another reference that presents overwhelming evidence of
how enemies of the Lord Jesus Christ are multiples of 13. The
site is:”
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/8and13.html
“What
was particular interest was the following quote.”
But it
is when we come to Gematria that the most wonderful results are seen.
These
results may be stated thus, briefly: That the names of the LORD's
people are
multiples of eight, while the names of those who
apostatized, or
rebelled, or who were in any sense His enemies, are multiples of
thirteen. This
statement, if it be proved, is one of the greatest evidences of verbal
inspiration which the world has yet seen. The discovery of the great
principle
is due, we believe, to the late Dr. Milo Mahan, of New York, who has
given many
examples of it in his work already referred to, now long out of print.
The
effect of this law can hardly be estimated in establishing the presence
of an
ever-present working of the Holy Spirit in inditing the very words and
even the
letters of Scripture. No human foresight or arrangement could have
secured such
a result beforehand; no human powers could have carried it out in such
perfection. No matter where we look, we find the working of the law
without
cessation, without a break, without a flaw from beginning to end. Only
one
conclusion is possible, and that is that the Bible has but one Author,
an
eternal, omniscient Author, designing, superintending, working, and
carrying
out His own infinite plans.
By this
time the watchers were more curious than ever and crowded
around the one watcher.
“Along
with being a multiple of 13, the number of the lawless
one’s name must meet another hurdle. It must be able to be
convertible in some form to 666. We realize that the original
text of
scripture used letters to represent numbers. We actually have
the 3
letters of the alphabet that have been assigned numerical values of
600, 60 and
6. The first 10 letters of the alphabet (aleph-beth) were
assigned the
numbers 1-10, the next 9, 20-100, and then the last 7 we count from 200
to 800
using the last letters for English or the last letters plus variations
of other
letters for other languages. We have versions of scripture
written in
Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.”
“So the
simplest conversion would be to reduce 666 down to its
smallest number which would be 6+6+6=18. And then taking 18
times 13 we
have a number to watch for which is 234.”
One of
the taller watchers then asked, “So are you saying the
real number of the beast is 234?”
“I’m
not saying that”, said the first watcher.
“However, some years ago many of you watchers will recall the
appearance
of an Angel to one Vincent Tan.”
“Yes”,
said the taller watcher who had just spoken,
“and the Angel left $2.34 in change. So maybe this is the
number?”
“Maybe
so, but not so fast”, said the first watcher.
“We have other permutations of 6 to consider which may have a closer
connection to 13.”
“Look
at this table where 6 is taken to the power of integers up
to the number 6.”

“The
number 216 is again prominent as the first three digits of
the remainder in the minutes to hours conversion of the sum of the 2nd
powers and 6th powers. We also have
the number 13 itself as
the sum of the 2nd powers. Here we
have this “evil”
number, a number that is associated with “sin, rebellion, and
depravity”, at least according to the book “The Arithmetic of
God”. And we have this number doubly in the minutes and the
hours
in the number 793 converted to time, which is the sum of the 6th
power.”
“Wow,
you’d think with the sum of the primes of 6 when
taken to the 6th power being triple 6 and having
both 13 and 216 in
the minutes to hours and double 13’s in the minute times conversion
that
there would be something really significant about the number 793
also?
Here we have association upon association with the number 13 which
makes 793 an
even better candidate than 234.”
“And of
all the number results in the above tables, the only
number divisible by 13 besides 13 itself, is 793!”
The
other watchers were silent for a while. Then the taller
watcher who had spoke earlier said, “Well for me, the topper is that
793
minutes is the same as 13 hours and 13 minutes.”
“Good,”
said the first watcher. “So, for
everyone that HATH UNDERSTANDING, counting the number of the beast,
which is
the number of a man, must not be simply 666 or even 216 as NEITHER are
divisible by 13. As I’ve stated, for the beast to become
possessed
by satan half way through the tribulation, becoming in a real sense,
satan
incarnate, he must have a name divisible by 13!”
“And
what other number is there that can be directly derived from
666 which is so associated with 13, than 793?”
To
which the taller watcher replied, “Ah, the question now
becomes, what MAN has the number of his full name equaling
793?”
The
first watcher replied, “But for another time.”
Some of
the watchers appeared unsatisfied. The taller one asked
another question. “I understand that the lawless one’s full
name should equal 793, which is divisible by 13. But didn’t
satan
have EVERY ONE of his names divisible by 13, not just some compound
name?
What about the first, middle, and last name of the lawless
one?
Shouldn’t the number of each of these names be divisible by 13 as
well?”
The
first watcher replied, “Next thing you will be wanting is for
the title that the “lawless one” either lawfully or unlawfully
carries to also be divisible by 13.”
The
taller watcher responded, “Sounds good to me. How else
will we know for sure that we have the right guy?”
“Very
well”, said the first watcher. “There
aren’t that many titles so we can start eliminating people right now if
you would like”. He sat down and brought up a word/number
converter
and started typing in titles. “Let’s try
“pope”. That comes to 205 which is not divisible by
13.
Now, let’s try “prince”. That name comes to 227 which
is also not divisible by 13. “King” is 86 which is not
divisible by 13 either while “Queen” is 440, also not divisible by
13. Do you want me to continue?”
One of
the other watchers yelled out, “What about
“emperor”?” “Very well”, said the first
watcher. “The title “emperor” comes to an even 360 and
is not divisible by 13. While we are at it, “chancellor” is
an even 280 and is not divisible by 13 either. One more, how
about
“prime minister”? That comes to 717 which also is not
divisible by 13.”
“Aren’t
you forgetting the main one?” asked the
taller watcher.
“Very
well,” said the first watcher. He then typed in
“president”. The number converter displayed the result as 533
along with showing its divisors as the product of 41 and 13.
Chapter
II
The
five had come from
all around the world to watch the dress rehearsals for the play, “The
Lawless One”. They had watched as the new director killed the
first
scene with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. They were now
huddled
around a laptop in the third row of the theatre. The first

“Wow”
– Said the taller watcher, Obadiah Johnson, a “modern
Mennonite”, who introduced himself to the group. “It really
is
divisible by 13 while all those other titles such as “emperor”,
“prince”, and “pope”, weren’t. It is mind
boggling to me that all those Hebrew and Greek number equivalents for
of the
descriptions of satan have been found to be divisible by 13.
You know, I
noticed that it is also divisible by 41. Which, looking at
the screen I
noticed that 41 is the 13th prime
number. Interesting.”
“Isn’t
it,” said another.
Still
one of the others
said, “I thought these multiples were all in Hebrew and
Greek. But you
are applying it to English. Can you do that? Aren’t
we applying
the number 13 to the wrong language?”
Dave
answered,
“Aren’t numbers the universal language? Don’t numbers
transcend the language barrier? Isn’t a devil’s dozen equal
to 13 no matter what language you speak?”
Obadiah
spoke up,
“Ye are of your
father the
devil.” “Dave, can you look up John
8:44?” Dave brought up the scripture:
Ye
are
of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He
was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there
is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is
a liar,
and the father of it.
John 8:44
Obadiah
looked at Dave
and again spoke, “Can you plug in murderer and liar into your
program?”

Obadiah
said,
“Look, both are divisible by 13. In fact “murderer” is
divisible by 6 as well and “liar” adds up to exactly 10 times
13.
Obadiah
continued,
“I keep thinking of that verse in Daniel you showed us that talked
about
“peace he shall destroy many”.
Dave
said, “let me
pull up the verse, both in the King James and in the “A Conservative
Version”.”
And
through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he
shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he
shall
also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken
without
hand. Daniel
8:25 KJV
And through his
policy he shall
cause deceit to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in
his heart.
And he shall destroy many in their security. He shall also stand up
against the
Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without a hand. Daniel 8:25 ACV
Obadiah
continued, “I understand about the craft, being crafty, and
the ACV calling it deceit, having to do with how he will act.
And
magnifying himself. Sounds like a megalomaniac to
me. Of course he
will be against the Prince of princes, Jesus Christ. But what
about this
“by peace shall destroy many” thing.”
Dave
said, “I think it means that the excuse of preserving peace,
which the ACV calls security, will be used as the method to destroy
many.”
Obadiah
said,
“Does that mean that “in the name of peace” or to “keep
the peace” he will murder many people? Will there be so much
civil
unrest because of him that he will go around murdering his
enemies?
Didn’t Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Saddam, and all those tyrants go around
murdering their own people whom they considered their enemies?”
Virginia
McVay, who had been silent up this point, said,
“Let’s get back on the subject of finding out if any
President’s names are all divisible by 13 and add up to 793”.

Stuart
Whitney, the last
of the five to speak, grey haired and retired, said, “Well, if that
don’t be all. He’s got his given first name that is divides
by 13. Don’t know if it counts cause that is not what he went
by. And, he don’t have a total that’s divides by
13.
And, I don’t see any way to get 793 out of any combination of his
names.”
The
rest of them
agreed. They then decided to proceed with the next, President
Ronald
Reagan just to see what happened.” Dave punched in the full

“Not
a single name
divisible by 13 and no way to possibly add up any combination of his
names to
793,” said Dave. “A big fat zero on that one as
well.
Guess that brings us to George Walker Bush. However, all of
his names are
the same as his father, the former President George Herbert Walker
Bush, except
not having the name “Herbert” and we already ran all those
names.
So we know we will be zero on his individual names. Which
leaves checking
only the total of his name:”

Dave
said, “So
where does that leave us?”
No
one said a
word. Dave slowly punched in the name of the current
One
could hear a pin
drop. They sat there with their mouths open till finally
Evelyn broke the
silence. “Well, that doesn’t count.” she said.
“Why not?” asked Obadiah. “Well, everyone knows his
real last name isn’t Obama. Its Dunham,” said
Evelyn.
“Define everyone”, said Dave. “All you have to do is
read and you’ll find that his mother was impregnated when she was 17 by
a
24 year old married man. You can’t get married to a married
man
unless he gets divorced first. And he didn’t. She
just made
up the story that she got married so she wouldn’t be embarrassed to
death. It was a natural lie to make. One lie led to
another, so she
had to end it by covering up when she actually filed divorce papers 3
years
later.
Dave
said, “Does
it matter now? That is the last name he is using and that is
the last
name the world is using. It doesn’t matter whether the last
name is
legitimate or not.” Dave continued, “However, if you would
like, we could substitute Dunham just to see what happens.”
“Oh
my
gosh”, exclaimed Stuart. “Dunham is 13 times 31.
The
number 31 is 13 backward. And look, the total is still
divisible by
13.” Evelyn said, “Humph.”
Obadiah
said, “I
want to see if the word “President” matters when added to the name
he is using. Add that in and see what you get.”
Dave, obligingly
added the word “President”.
“Look,”
said
Obadiah. “The 1326 total has the number 13 in it and twice 13
or 26
in it. And I know that 793 can be derived from the roots of 6
taken to
the 6th power. But it is not also
divisible by 6.
However, the number 1326 is not only divisible by 6 but there are even
more
6’s as it is the sum of 666 + 660.”
Evelyn
said, “I
just think you are making way too much out of this.”
Dave
said, “You
may have a point. Let me do an internet search. I
would still think
that the simplest form of (6+6+6) times 13 or 234 should be showing up
somewhere in all of this.” As they looked they found a
multitude of
information from people who had reached similar conclusions as they
were just
now seeing, but from their own perspective. The amount of
information was
overwhelming. Dave narrowed the search to include the number
234 and up
popped:

It
was getting
late. They all agreed to stop for the night. Some
wanted to do some
sightseeing in the morning, but everyone wanted to get back together
the next
day. Stuart suggested 1:00 in the afternoon.
Everyone was agreeable
to this. However, they didn’t want to meet back at the
theatre as
rehearsals would be going on.
…………….
Dave
was first to arrive
at the tapioca tea house. He picked out a table in the corner
that could
comfortably seat eight, even though there were only five of them, and
plugged
in his laptop. Obadiah was next to arrive. Obadiah
stuck out from
the others in the tea house, wearing a heavy plaid fitted shirt that
draped
over his tall thin frame and sporting a bushy black beard with no
mustache. Next to arrive were Virginia and Evelyn.
Dave and Obadiah
had already picked up their bubble teas so Virginia and Evelyn ordered
themselves what they wanted,
Evelyn
was first to
speak. “Guess what I found out?” “What?”
asked Stuart. “I found out he went by “Barry Soetoro”
when he was growing up. I saw copies of his grade school
records from
Evelyn
looked very
pleased with herself just like she had just presented an excellent A+
oratory
paper to her English Class. The rest of the group did not
look so
impressed.
“`What’s
the
matter?” asked Evelyn.
“Look,”
said
Obadiah, “What are the odds that the leader of the free world who is in
prime position to be the lawless one at this time in history, is the
lawless
one spoken of in the Bible? Let’s just figure the odds that
this
person has his first given name, his middle given name, his father’s
last
given name, and his mother’s last given name ALL multiples of the
devil’s number 13? Heck, there have only been 43 different
presidential terms before him. There have only been 42
different
presidents before him. So, counting him as the 44th
presidential term we have one chance in 13 times 13 times 13 times
13.
Hey, Dave, what does 13 to the fourth power calculate to?”
Dave,
types on his
computer. “28,561”, replies Dave.
Obadiah
continues,
“Let’s say 28, 000. One chance in 28,000. With each
president serving on average over 4 years anyway, that comes
to. Hey,
Dave, what is 28,000 times 4?”
Dave
types on his
computer again. “112,000”, says Dave. Obadiah
continues, “112,000 years. That’s how many year it would take
just by chance to get a president with a name with those odds.”
Responded
Evelyn,
“Like I asked, What’s the matter?”
“Okay”,
said
Dave. “We are here to investigate truth wherever it leads us,
so
let’s look at what Evelyn has found.” Dave pulled up the
gematria converter he had been using patterned after the Hebrew and
Greek where

Dave
said, “Evelyn,
you are right. The name he went by in grade school in
Evelyn
sat back in her
chair, smiling triumphantly.
Stuart
leaned forward in
his chair and looked at the screen more intently. “Will you
look at
that?” said Stuart.
Dave
and Virginia almost
said simultaneously, “Look at what?”
“Look
at the
number 3 divisor for the total,” said Stuart. “Look how big
it is!” said Stuart.
Dave
said,
“That’s because it appears….” Dave looked at the screen
more intently. “That’s because the total for this name is
divisible by the number 3, multiple times, till you get up to the
number
729. Let’s see that would be 6 times. In other
words, we have
three raised to the power of 6.”
Dave
continued,
“Remember back when I pulled up the table that used the number 666 to
derive using “wisdom and understanding” the number of the
beast? Remember how it took the prime number roots of 6,
which are 2 and
3? It then took each of these to the power of 6, just these
two
roots. It was using the number 6, three times, but in
different
ways. Well.” Dave continued. “That table
showed
the simplest derivation of the number of the beast as a function of
6. We
had each root of 6 raised to the 6th
power. So we
had.” Dave picked up a pen and wrote down on a notepad
sitting on
the table as he spoke, “2^6 + 3^6 = 793”.
“Well,
6 can also
be expressed as 3 + 3. We just divide 6 in half.
And then we can
likewise take these threes to the 6th
power. In other words,
we have.” Dave again started writing on the notepad as he
spoke,
“3^6 + 3^6 = 1458.”
They
all looked at what
Dave had written down on the paper.
2^6
+ 3^6 = 793
3^6
+ 3^6 = 1458
The
math was as simple
as it was elegant.
Dave
said, “Well,
I can see arguments for both side. They both are derived from
using three
6’s. So they both can be said to represent 666.
Guess the
answer is, both. There’s not much difference. Guess
that
means there’s not much difference in the two names as well.
Using
either name for the beast, guess it doesn’t matter. ”
Obadiah
spoke up,
“What is the difference?”
Dave
asked, “What
do you mean?”
Obadiah
continued.
“What is the difference between 793 and 1458, I mean
mathematically? What is the difference when you subtract 1458
from
793?”
Dave
started typing into
Excel the formula “= 1458 – 793”. “Okay, the
difference is, six hundred and sixty five.
“Missed
being 666
by one,” said Stuart.
“Not
necessarily,” said Dave.
“What
do you
mean?” asked Stuart.
Dave
continued, “I
just took the difference in subtracting one from the other as if 793
represented zero. Let me explain. The Hebrew and
Greek have no
representation for zero. It is said in fact that the actual
concept of
zero didn’t even exist until the 9th century
AD. It is
said that it developed from the use of placeholders on the
abacus. But
regardless, say I want to start counting at the first number of the
beast and
end at the second? I wouldn’t start counting at zero for 793
and
then one for 794. I couldn’t. I’d start counting at
one
for 793 and end up at 666 when I reached the 1458. We
now-a-days call
that “inclusive” counting. But it used to be that was how you
counted. If you counted from the first of the Hebrew year,
Rosh Hashana
to the tenth day, Yom Kippur, the most Holy day of the year, you would
add 9
days to Rosh Hashana. However, you would call this time not
the 9 days of
awe but the 10 days of awe. ”
“Amazing,”
said Obadiah. “Like a confirming way connecting these two
numbers
once again to 666, and each other. Isn’t God’s providence
remarkable to work that all out?”
“I
would have
never imagined,” said Evelyn. “How, is it that the first two
prime numbers when taken to the 6th power work
out this way?”
“Good
question,” said Dave. “I don’t have a logical
explanation. I do know that six stands for satan.
There is a book
called, “The Arithmetic of God” that goes into explaining it a lot
better than anything else I’ve seen. Let me search for
it.
Okay, there it is:”
http://www.etpv.org/books/taog.pdf
“Okay,
two stands
for division or separation, three stands for resurrection, six stands
for
satan, his influence, and thirteen stands for sin, rebellion, or
depravity. And of course, thirteen is the sixth prime
number. We
have 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, the sixth prime number.”
They
all sat around, not
saying anything for a while, just taking it all in.
“Hey,
I’ve
got one for you all,” said Stuart, breaking the silence.
“Give me any number, any number no matter how large, and I’ll tell
you whether it is a multiple of 6.”
“Ok,
show
off!” said Evelyn. “3742913” as she wrote it down on
the notepad.
Stuart
looked at the
number for a while, obviously in thought, and announced, “No its not
divisible by 6, but the next number 3742914 is.”
Dave
typed “3742914”
into his computer, dividing it by 6 and announced, “Hey, he’s
right. Stu, how’d you do it?”
“Its
simple when
you know the trick,” answered Stuart. “I just added all the
digits together, 3+7+4+2+1+3, and came up with 29. If that
number was
divisible by 6, then that large one was also. Since I needed
to add only
one to it to make 30, which is divisible by 6, I knew that the next
number also
was divisible by 6. Of course those same numbers are
divisible by 3 but
it’s not as impressive to guess if something’s divisible by 3, as
you have a one in three shot of being right anyway.”
“Speaking
of
tricks, said Dave, “Did you know that if the number is divisible by
three, any number that is divisible by three, that you can perform a
mathematical
operation on it so it converges to 153? “
“Go
on,”
said Obadiah.
“Just
take the
digits and cube them before you add them together. Then take
that result
and repeat. The number sooner or later will equal
153. Once there
it stays. In other words we have 153 going to 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3
= 1 + 125 +
27 = 153. I learned that from reading James Harrison’s “The
Pattern & the Prophecy” book. Let’s take 3742914
which we
know is divisible by 3 since it is also divisible by 6.”
Dave
pulled up another
spreadsheet and verified that 3742914 indeed reduced to 153:

“Looks
like it
took ten iterations”, said Stuart.
“Yes,”
said
Dave. “But there is a point in all of this. We saw
how the
lawless one’s numbers were revealed by taking the first two prime
numbers
to the power of 6, both of them. Well, the Righteous One,
Jesus
Christ’s number 153 is revealed by taking any number divisible by 3 to
the power of 3. We call 153 Jesus Christ’s number because it
is
recorded in the Bible in, well, let me look it up.” With
that, Dave
pulled up a scripture finder and typed in “hundred and fifty and
three” and found:
Simon
Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty
and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
John 21:11
Dave
continued,
“Remember Jesus told Simon Peter and his brother, “fishers of
men.” And with that Dave typed in “fishers of men” and
found:
And
Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called
Peter, and
Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:18-19
Dave
then continued,
“Remember also that the number 3 stands for Resurrection.
Think of
satan who tried to usurp God’s position which was above all
creation. The number of satan is 6 which is twice that of
Resurrection. Here is a symbol lesson in having trying to
usurp the role
of 3 in being twice 3. Here is 3 or taking to the third
power, bringing
one third of the numbers back to Jesus Christ, their creator.
He was not
only creator of all the universe but all letters, words, (He is the
word made
flesh), and numbers. Then there was satan, one of the
cherubim angels in
charge of one third of the angels. And so satan led one third
of the
angels in revolt against the Almighty.”
And
the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of
the
great day.
Jude 1:6
“If
you think
about it, us Humans, the only created being recorded as being made in
the image
of God, were created to replace the fallen angels. Except, we
too fell,
thanks in no small part to satan with Adam and Eve in the
garden. But a
remnant will be saved and join God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
and all
the heavenly host that kept their first estate.”
I
will
therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that
the Lord,
having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed
them that
believed not.
Jude 1:5
“So
we would
expect the lawless one to come from a long line of usurpers.
Now that we
have identified “through wisdom and understanding” someone who
matches up with the number of the lawless one with astronomical odds of
13 to
the 4th power added as if layer upon layer with
at least twice times
3 to the 6th power, I think we should search out
how many other ways
he fulfills scripture for being the lawless one.”
Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for
it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and
six.
Revelation
13:18
The
rest of them, all of
them, including Evelyn, nodded their heads in agreement.
“Hey
look,”
said Stuart, “In the scripture with the 666. The key to
having the
wisdom and understanding is like in the scripture and verse numbers of
13:18. There’s the number 13 where all those names were
multiples.
And, then there’s the 18 which is 3 times 6 and the common factor in
the
two complete names is similar in 3 to the power of 6. Just
think of how
many people looked at 666 and only see 6 to the power of 3 when we’ve
seen how marvelously it works out to be 3 to the power of 6.
Wow.”
Many,
O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy
thoughts
which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if
I would
declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Psalms 40:5
Chapter
IV
Stuart
had heard that
the author of the screenplay, “The Lawless One” was going to be at
rehearsals back at the theatre the next day. He had also
heard that the
new director did not have much use for the author. This was
beside the fact
that the consortium putting up the money to produce the play were
paying the
author to be there. Regardless, the author got paid whether
the director
decided to consult with him or not. So that meant that their
small group
of five stood a good chance of talking with the author and possibly for
an
extended period of time.
They
talked among
themselves and agreed to meet the next day back at the
theatre. They were
anxious to find out how the author had originally envisioned his
screenplay.
…………
The
group mingled in the
lobby until all the five of them had arrived. They then went
upstairs and
found a larger room, rather bleak in its furnishings, white bare walls,
with
several large card tables, a small coffee bar, and a man sitting by
himself,
drinking a cup of coffee.
Stuart
asked, “Are
you the author of this screenplay?”
“I
sure am,”
replied the man, looking both surprised and happy to have
company.
“How can I help you?”
“I’m
Stuart,” replied Stuart. “And this is Virginia, Evelyn,
Obadiah, and Dave”, introducing the rest.
“Hi,
I’m
Charles Gehrlein, but you can call me Chuck, everybody else does”
replied
the author.
“We
were just
curious about your screenplay,” began Dave. “For example,
what led you to write it?”
“Well,”
began Chuck, “I’d really have to credit my father. I was a
young lad at the time and it was the summer of 1967. We were
sitting at
the kitchen table and my father made an announcement with a certain air
of
authority and soberness that riveted me to my seat. He said
that we were
witnessing prophesied events unfolding before our eyes, in our
generation. He said that we were the generation of
destiny. He said
that although stopped for almost 2000 years, Daniel’s 70 week prophetic
time clock had just restarted.”
Chuck
paused a moment,
more like two moments, a pregnant pause, to see if his audience was
feeling
some the same anticipation he had felt 40 some years ago when his dad
first
uttered those words.
“What
did he mean,
it had just restarted?” asked
“My
father,”
continued Chuck, “went on to explain how the tiny nation of
Who
hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be
made to
bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon
as
“Anyway,
where was
I?” asked Chuck, obviously enjoying the rapt attention from the five
seated around him.
“You
were talking
about Daniel’s prophetic time clock restarting,” replied
“Oh,
yes,”
replied Chuck, “The tiny nation of
“Okay,
now let me
find Daniel’s 70 week prophecy,” as Chuck flipped through his
Bible. He then started reading.
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.
Daniel 9:24
“Well,”
began Chuck. “As my father explained, “thy people” is
obviously referring to the Jewish people who were in exile in
Know
therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment
to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be
seven
weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again,
and the
wall, even in troublous times.
Daniel 9:25
“It
will be both
seven weeks and seven weeks plus 62 weeks, is my father showed me,”
stated Chuck. “Notice how the two time periods are
mentioned.
We know now that there are two comings of Jesus Christ as the Messiah
the Prince.
They didn’t back then.”
“Remember
that the
first coming was around 2000 years ago. The second coming is
in the
future when He returns to establish His millennial reign, His 1000 year
reign. After His millennial reign the Bible says in
Revelation that there
will be a short season where satan will be allowed loose again before
being
cast into the bottomless pit for all eternity. The bottom
line in all of
this is that there are definitely two comings of Jesus Christ as
Messiah the
Prince.”
“Sure,
Jesus
Christ appeared many times throughout the Old Testament, wrestling with
Jacob,
talking with Abraham, and then when He was born and lived among God’s
chosen people for some 30 years. But there was only once that
He
expressly came and entered
“On
Palm
Sunday,” said Evelyn.
“Yes.
On the
day we celebrate as Palm Sunday, one week before First Fruits,”
continued
Chuck. “And He will come again, landing again on the
The
amazing thing
is we are told in this verse in Daniel, err, Daniel 9:25, exactly when
his two
comings as Messiah the Prince would and will occur.”
“Of
course back in
Daniel’s day they would not have been able to fathom two comings, so
the
second coming was concealed in the way the verse states the
time. They
also must have not paid too much attention to this verse back then
either
because they didn’t know the time of their first visitation, to their
shame. No wait, it wasn’t just to their shame, it was to
their
destruction. God’s not kidding. God utterly
destroyed all
them, all of the inhabitants of
And
they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt,
and they
set Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes
in the
way. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of
the mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God
with a
loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
Saying, Blessed
be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and
glory in
the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the
multitude said unto
him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said
unto them, I
tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would
immediately
cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
wept over
it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this
thy day, the
things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine
eyes.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a
trench about
thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall
lay
thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall
not
leave in thee one stone upon another; because
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Luke 19:35-44
Chuck
continued.
“People didn’t pay attention to Daniel’s 70 week prophecy
back then to know the time of the Messiah’s first coming just like
people
aren’t paying attention now to know the time of the Messiah’s second
coming. For those that see it though, it is clear as day, but
for others
it is totally concealed.”
Obadiah
spoke up,
“What do you mean by it being concealed?”
Chuck
continued,
“Remember how Jesus spoke in parables? Remember the reason
Jesus
spoke in parables?”
While
everyone was
thinking over these questions, Chuck turned a few more pages in his
Bible.
Therefore
speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing
they hear
not, neither do they understand. Matthew
13:13
That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will
open my
mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from
the
foundation of the world. Matthew
13:35
“Well?”
asked Chuck.
Obadiah
answered,
“Jesus spoke in parables so the common people would not
understand.
He was telling them secrets but it was still hidden from their
understanding.”
“Exactly,”
replied Chuck. “But we have the advantage of time in knowing
the
Messiah has already come once, and that He himself promised to come
again. Are you all familiar with Sir Robert Anderson?”
The
five looked at each
other with puzzled looks on their faces.
“I
gather
not,” replied Chuck. “Sir Robert Anderson, knighted by the
Queen of England, was a very smart fellow who worked for Scotland Yard
over 100
years ago. He also wrote a book called, “The Coming Prince”
whose title actually stands for the future coming of the lawless
one.
Sort of like the title of my play.”
“However,
that is
not the books main focus. The main focus is to show how the
first coming
of the Messiah as the Prince of Peace was exactly 7 plus 62 weeks of
prophetic
years from the beginning of the restoring of
Evelyn
spoke up,
“Okay, you just said “weeks of prophetic years.” Before
you get me completely lost, what do you mean by “weeks of prophetic
years?”
“Sorry,”
answered Chuck. “I get carried away sometimes. Just
stop me
when I start to lose you. Let me back up. A week is
just short hand
for seven. It could be seven of anything. In this
case it is of
prophetic years which means 360 days. Sir Robert Anderson
found that the
timing works out perfectly when using years composed of 360 days.”
“But
there
aren’t 360 days in a year,” objected
“I
know this
one,” answered Dave. “There aren’t 360 days in our calendar
year. But anyone reading Revelation can’t help but notice how
1260
days and 42 months and times, times and half a time, or what I’ve
thought
must be 3 ½ years, seem to be talking about the same period of
time. Like
the woman in the wilderness.”
“Yes,”
answered Chuck. “Like the woman in the wilderness.”
“My
own
theory,” answered Dave, “Is that God created this World perfect
with 360 days for the earth to go around the sun and 30 days for the
moon to go
around the earth, from the earth’s perspective. Then sin
entered
into the World, causing decay. God would not use decayed
time.”
“I
also read about
how before around 701 BC everyone used 360 days per year and 30 days in
a
moon. Then something happened. Some think it was a
close approach
of a planet like Mars or Venus. The year was lengthened by
around 1.5%
and the month or moon shorted by around 1.5%.”
“Anyway,”
said Chuck, “My point was to take the time from 445 BC when the decree
was made to restore
“Yes,”
replied Dave, Stuart, and Virginia in unison. Before anyone
else could
take a breath,
“Very
good,
look’s like you already knew,” replied Chuck. ‘Well, to
repeat what Sir Robert Anderson found. If you take 32 AD and
you add 444
you get 476 years. And he used days but it’s easier for me to
use
years. If you take 7 + 62 you get 69. Dave, if you
could run this
calculation on your laptop, that would be great. If you take
69 times 7
for the weeks, times 360 days for the prophetic years and then divide
by
365.2422 to convert this all to calendar years, what do you get?”
Dave
punched the numbers
into his laptop.
“476.06766,”
answered Dave.
“Just
over 476
years,” continued Chuck. “Which Sir Robert Anderson stated,
assuming this decree by the king to restore
Chuck
paused to let this
set in a moment.
“But
the best is
yet to come!” stated Chuck. “My father explained that we can
now do the same thing as of June 7, 1967. We can know
exactly, to the
day, when Jesus Christ will come as Messiah the Prince the second
time.
Except this time we do not add the 62 weeks to the 7 weeks, we just use
the 7
weeks. The way this prophecy was worded, not 62 and then 7
but 7 and then
62, we can be confident in taking the first 7. And notice
God’s
providence in that had the Jews accepted Messiah as Prince the first
time, the
prophecy was still fulfilled.”
“I’ve
never
heard of this before,” stated Evelyn. “Is there anyone else
that has figured this out?”
“Well,
we know Sir
Isaac Newton figured the 7 weeks out,” stated Chuck.
“You
mean the
famous scientist who discovered gravity?” asked Evelyn.
“The
same
one,” answered Chuck. “Except he did a lot more than just
discover gravity. His work with optics and the laws of motion
and
calculus and physics, well he’s considered by many as the greatest
scientist who ever lived. What they don’t tell you in the
science
books is that he wrote more on the Bible and particularly prophecy in
Daniel
and Revelation than he did science. And one of the things he
stated was
that the first 7 weeks in Daniel’s 70 week prophecy appeared to relate
directly to Messiah’s second coming.”
“My
father,”
said Chuck, “told me that the prophetic time clock countdown to the
Messiah started on June 7, 1967. We had only to count 7 weeks
of
prophetic years to know the exact date of our Redeemer coming as
Messiah.
And guess what, it works out to the most holy of all Hebrew days, the 10th
day of the 7th month, the Head of the Year, the
day atonement is
made for the coming year, Yom Kippur.”
“My
father then
stated that we only had to count back from this date exactly one week
of
prophetic years to come to the exact date that the lawless one would
offer to
the world his covenant with many.”
“What
is this
covenant with many?” asked Stuart.
“Well,”
started Chuck. “A covenant is considered a binding agreement
between two parties. This covenant with many is different in
the sense
that it is an agreement proposed between one person, the lawless one,
to many
people. And many people have to accept it. It is a
two way
street. The lawless one will propose, my father said, if you
do this one
thing for me, make me your king, I will do this one thing for all of
you, bring
peace to the world.”
“In
the Old
Testament, God made a covenant with Noah to never destroy the earth by
water
again. I always have to emphasize the water because God said
nothing
about destroying the earth by fire. Anyway, God also made a
covenant with
Abraham to greatly increase his seed. But this covenant in
Daniel’s
70 week prophecy will not be between God and man, or even between a man
and
another man. This covenant will be between the lawless one
and many
people. And, my father said, they will most likely even give
him the Nobel
Peace prize for what he promised to do. Imagine
that! I thought he
was joking.”
“Where
does it say
all that in the Bible?” said Obadiah.
“Very
good!”
said Chuck. “Never accept anything anyone tells you about
prophecy
without checking it with the Bible. It doesn’t mention the
Nobel
Peace prize. That was based on speculation based on what it
does say
regarding peace and destruction before we get to Daniel’s 70 week
prophecy.
And
through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he
shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he
shall
also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken
without
hand.
Daniel 8:25
Continued
Chuck,
“But let’s get back to Daniel’s 70 week prophecy.”
And
after
threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war
desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:26
Chuck
went on, “So
we see the 62 weeks are connected just with the Messiah being cut
off.
The 7 weeks are not mentioned. This also lets us know that
the
Messiah’s first coming has both the 7 and the 62 weeks and that the
Messiah’s second coming does not have the 62 weeks because the Messiah
is
not cut off at His second coming. Then we see that the people
of the
prince that shall come shall destroy the city and sanctuary, which
happened in
70 AD. This again is the reference to the lawless one, “the
coming
prince” and his people, the most powerful empire in the world at that
time, the Roman Empire whose people spanned through really all of
Europe, part
of Asia, south into Africa, and surrounded the city of
And
he
shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of
the week
he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27
“Okay,”
said
Obadiah. “Didn’t Jesus Christ confirm the covenant He made
with all of Adam’s descendants to be the living sacrifice when He died
on
the cross? Didn’t He make this for covenant for 7000 years,
which
could also be called one week, as a day is like one thousand years to
God? Didn’t He die in the middle of the 7000 years?
Didn’t the sacrifice and oblation cease when the city and sanctuary
were
destroyed also in the middle of the week as just mentioned in the
previous
verse?”
“Well,
that’s all true,” said Chuck, “But you are changing the
meaning of a week in the middle of a prophecy. And how is the
Roman army
under Titus, the people of the prince?”
“Okay,
weren’t we just told in the previous verses,” started Obadiah,
“about Messiah being the Prince? And aren’t we all the people
of the Messiah, being created by Him, being used by Him in His
providence to
fulfill His will?”
“I’ll
concede that’s one completely valid interpretation,” stated
Chuck.
“I see nothing wrong with it apart from changing the meaning of a week
in
midstream. But as with most parables and prophecies there are
surface
meanings and then there are deeper meanings, can you concede me that?”
Everyone
in the room
nodded their heads.
Chuck
said, “So
let us continue. I’ve been talking about weeks of prophetic
years. And I’m not talking about changing the meaning for any
of
these weeks. Now we have one week being set apart as starting
out with a
confirmation of a covenant. My father said this one week set
apart is
part of the previously mentioned weeks. You shouldn’t
interpret it
as the covenant being for a period of one week, that it ends after one
week. That would be like saying that the agreement to bring
peace to the world
will end in seven years. Then we can have war. But
instead it can
be taken that the covenant begins one week of the previous 7
weeks. One
of the 7 weeks that count down to the second coming. And what
week of the
previous 7 would you guess it starts?”
Dave
shot up his
hand. “The last week of the seven,” stated Dave.
“Very
good,”
said Chuck. “Pretty obvious though. That does seem
to make
the most sense.”
“In
fact,”
said Dave starting again, “I’ve thought that all we had to do to
figure out when the beast was to be revealed was to count back seven
years and
bingo. Then we should expect the beast to be making a
proposal for peace
in front of many people. With world-wide television and radio
I figured
he could reach the whole world with his proposal.”
“Yes,”
said
Chuck, and I was waiting. It has been many years since I
started writing
the “Lawless One”. But I knew I couldn’t allow it to be
produced until after I had confirmed what my father had told
me. I had to
see with my own eyes the proposal for peace being made to the many on
that
day. And then I had to see that it had been accepted by the
many.”
“Okay,”
said
Dave. “I missed it somehow, when did this happen?”
“Well,
you
weren’t alone,” said Chuck. “Let’s just review
the dates my father gave me. Adding 7 weeks of prophetic
years to June 7,
1967 brings us to September 23, 2015, Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement.
Subtracting 1 week brings us to October 29, 2008. And adding
a half of a
week brings us to the middle of this week which is April 11, 2012.”
Chuck
continued,
“On October 29, 2008, on that very date, just before what turned out to
be the last game of the World Series of Baseball in the
Everybody
sat around the
card table looking at each other.
“We
are
doomed,” said Evelyn.
“No
we’re
not,” said Obadiah. “satan can only do what God allows him to
do. Jesus is still on the throne. Greater is He
that is in me, than
he that is in the world.”
“That’s
right,” said Chuck. “Let me find that in the Bible.”
Hereby
know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ is
come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth
not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that
spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is
it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have
overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I John 4:2-4
Chapter
V
There
was a quick knock
at the door and a head appeared, looking around. “We’ve got
some
extra box lunches, would you like some?” Chuck answered,
“Sure, bring them in.”
The
stage hand brought
in a cart with around 10 box lunches on them and bottled
drinks.
“Thanks,” said Chuck. “Thanks!” said the rest of
them as they each took a box lunch.
While
they were eating,
Chuck began to speak, “You know I had considered another interpretation
as well regarding the covenant with many. I guess it is
obvious that
there came be a multitude of wrong interpretations. But, like
the parables
which have a surface interpretation and then a deeper interpretation,
like
peeling back the layers of an onion, other scriptures can have more
than one
correct and true interpretation. Let me read it again.”
And
he
shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of
the week
he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:24
Chuck
had a briefcase
next to his chair and took out a small loose leaf binder and started
flipping
through the pages. “I took various notes as I was preparing
the
manuscript of “The Lawless One”. Here we go. Let’s
just take this 30 minute infomercial on October 29, 2008 seen by over
33.3
million people at the time, as being his confirming his willingness to
agree
with the American people to bring about change and peace.
This agreement
had to be also confirmed by the American people. Guess what,
this
agreement was confirmed by the American people exactly at the end of
the one
week when just over 66.6 million people voted for him for President,
not
counting dead people in
At
this, Chuck looked up
at his audience. He watched as one by one they went from
having furrowed
brow expressions of not understanding, to smirky smiles of
understanding.
His attempt at levity wasn’t entirely in vain. He
continued.
“Starting the week count on October 29, 2008, the seventh day would end
on November 4, 2008, Election day. Let’s count the days, 29th,
1, 30th, 2, 31st, 3, 1st,
4, 2nd,
5, 3rd, 6, 4th,
7. We have seven days. We
have ONE WEEK.”
Chuck
said, “Glad
you asked. I’ll ask you a question. Remember how
the 49th
week as prophetic years from Jerusalem Unification Day ends exactly on
the most
holy day on the Hebrew calendar, Yom Kippur? What would be on
the other
end of the spectrum the most unholy day of the year? In fact,
a most
unholy day where yearly animal and even human sacrifices still take
place
today?”
Stuart
ventured,
“There’s news reports that this happens every Halloween. We
have
cases even in our own small community where pets, especially cats,
disappear
around this time.”
“Yes,”
said
Chuck. “The one day when sacrifices are conducted and
universally
recognized by satanic cults, luciferian societies, druids, goths, gaea
mother
earth worshipers, wiccan’s, and people who just want to imitate one of
these, is Halloween. And guess what, it fell in the midst of
the week
between October 29th, 2008 and November 4th,
2008.
Halloween!
Everyone
sat around the
table saying nothing, apparently deep in their own little world,
thinking about
what Chuck had just shared.
After
what seemed like
several minutes, Obadiah interjected, “But how’d he get there in
the first place? You just don’t go from nothing to President
of the
Chuck
answered,
“The most powerful people in the world!”
“Who
are
they?” questioned Dave.
“Well,”
started Chuck again. “You would never know who they were
unless
they wanted you to know. They like it better that
way. They control
events from behind the scenes while we are left trying to figure out
what is
going on. For as the good book says.” Chuck raised
his right
hand with his index finger pointing up. He then closed his
eyes and
brought his left hand across his chest, and began quoting:
For
we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual
wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
Chuck
opened his eyes
and returned his arms to rest on the card table.
“Fortunately, I
suppose,” said Chuck, “They want you to know who they are.
Although what difference it makes besides possibly to stroke their
already
large egos, I don’t know.”
Chuck
had gotten the
attention of everyone in the room so he continued.
“You
see,”
started Chuck again, “It appears that behind the scenes, this world has
been broken up not really by geographical areas but more economic and
political
areas. Politics and economics go hand in hand. And
there appears to
be ten regents who have been set up over all these areas of the
world.
Three of those regents have put their unimaginable resources behind
this,
pardon the pun, barack sheep.”
Chuck
paused.
The
five who had been
looking and listening to Chuck started looking at each other
instead. Was
there a clue on anyone else’s face that one of them already knew what
Chuck was telling them? Finding none, finally Obadiah was the
first to
speak.
“Well,
who are
they?”
Chuck
said, “Don’t
you want to know the Biblical basis for everything I’ve just told you
first? Sometimes it seems we all want to jump right to the
punch
line. We want to eat our dessert first. I’ll get to
who they
are, but first you have to, in a way, eat your meat and
vegetables. Most
people realize the most powerful man in the free world did not get
there by his
own power. But most people don’t realize that the Bible
predicts
that as well.” Chuck again turned the pages in his well-worn
Bible:
And his power
shall be mighty, but
not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall
prosper, and
practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy
people.
Daniel 8:24
Chuck
continued,
“And the three that gave him his power when he came up.”
And of the ten
horns that were in
his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell;
even of
that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things,
whose look
was more stout than his fellows.
Daniel 7:20
“There’s
that reference to his stern look that he seems to wear on his face so
much. I like the turn of the phrase, “whose look was more
stout”. Of course we also have Daniel 8:23 and its “fierce
countenance” reference:”
And
in
the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to
the full,
a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall
stand up.
Daniel 8:23
“Okay,
we get
it,” said
Chuck
again spoke,
“Instead of just taking my word for it, Dave, you’ve got your computer
hooked up to the internet?” Dave replied, “Sure
do.” Dave had been ignoring his computer which had been
plugged
into an outlet but pushed aside as they had listened to Chuck and had
eaten. Dave brought it over in front of him and said, “I’m
ready.”
“Chuck
said,
“Okay, Dave. Type in this address:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2009/abigail18-2.htm
Dave
brought up the
address and they all read. It had a link to a video so when
everyone
indicated they were done reading, Dave clicked on that as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MouUJNG8f2k&feature=related
Everybody
watched.
They had known the name of the head of the beast, now they knew the
names of
part of the body that had given power to the head:
David
Rockefeller
George
Soros
Zbigniew
Brzezinski
“Well,
that was a
letdown,” said Evelyn.
“I
can’t say
I learned much either,” said Stuart.
Dave
said, “I must
say I haven’t really followed David Rockefeller. However,
George
Soros was pretty visible in the campaign. He’s made billions
trying
to wreck various countries currencies. I hear that if he
tries to set
foot in some, such as
“Sounds
like a
financial Roman Polanski,” ventured
Chuck,
Stuart and Dave
chuckled.
Dave
started typing in
his notebook computer. “I’ve never heard of Zbigniew
Brzezinski before though. How do you spell it?”
Chuck started
spelling it out loud.
“Okay,”
said
Dave, “this is what this guys name numbers look like.” Dave
turned the computer so everyone could see.

continued.
“I find it sort of interesting with the 3 cubed and 11 squared and the
333 on the main number count. And of course the 36, 234, and
666 in the
lesser number counts. But then, these are lesser number
counts so I
don’t give too much weight to them. Sorry about that, I was
just
curious.”
“Nothing
wrong
with being curious,” said
“Curiosity
killed
the cat,” said Stuart
“Only
on
Halloween,” said
“Let’s
not
get too sidetracked,” said Chuck. “Let me instead pose a
question to you. What do you think the word “craft” means in
the following verse.” With that, Chuck started reading.
And through his
policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his
heart,
and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the
Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:25
Dave
spoke up, “I think it means craftiness. And the one
craft or trade which is the art of craftiness itself is, being a
lawyer.
And we all know who is a lawyer, who even taught law, constitutional
law, can you
believe it. And we also know that he has spent untold
millions, well at
least millions funneled through him, on lawyers, mainly to keep his
past
hidden.”
“Very
good,” said Chuck
Obadiah
spoke up, “That wasn’t a lawyer who killed the guy
who accessed his college records or his romantic partner Donald Young.”
“How do
you know?” asked Chuck. “For
doesn’t the good book say that he was a murderer from the
beginning?”
“The
beginning of what?” asked Evelyn. “How do
you know that isn’t talking about the beginning of life? How
do you
know that isn’t talking about womb infanticide?”
“Could
be both,” said Chuck.
“Stuart
said, “I can just imagine his handlers telling him
if he wanted to become president he had to give up cigarettes and
Donald
Young.”
“Don’t
the two go together?” asked
“Guess
he was a barack widower,” said Stuart.
“Did
you get a load of that black widow dress Michelle wore to
the inauguration?” asked
“Cut it
out,” said Dave.
Chuck
spoke up, “Yes, let’s get serious. Don’t
underestimate these three men. Regardless of what we know or
don’t
know about them, we have the AP hailing this guy in 2004 as the first
Kenyan to
become a United States Senator. That has to all be covered
up. Then
we have him hailed as the first African American to run for United
States
President.”
“Yes,”
said Chuck. “But continuing, we had to
try to bury the stories of his grandma stating she was present at his
birth in
“Guess
they missed World Net Daily,” said Stuart.
Chuck
ignored Stuart and kept going. “We have to float the
idea of how “Arnold Swartzenegger” would be the best choice for the
Republican presidential candidate. If only the American
people changed
that stupid outdated “natural born citizen” constitutional
requirement. We had to then finance and make sure John McCain
won the
Republican presidential candidacy as he was not born in the

quick enough,” said Dave. “I’ve seen
a scanned image of his hospital birth certificate from
Stuart
started chuckling.
Chuck
said, “Care to share what’s so funny with the rest of
us?’
“I was
just picturing,” said Stuart, “all these
Secret Service guys following him as he walked barefoot on a
beach. There
he is in shorts and there they are in black suits with patent leather
shoes. Each one of them is taking turns using their shoes to
rub out his
footprints in the sand as he walks.”
The
rest of them also laughed, except Chuck.
“Sorry,”
said Chuck. “Sometimes I get a little
intense and I realize it. I need to not be so serious all the
time.
But you got to realize these people are intense. They just
needed to
control the news, control the events, spread the money around, and make
sure he
didn’t say anything about his past.”
Stuart
said, “How’d that work out with him and
cocaine?”
Chuck
gave Stuart a dirty look.
“Sorry,”
said Stuart.
Chuck
began again. “We’re trying to determine the
truth here. Just because someone does something against the
law, does not
make them “the lawless one”. Right now, all it does is make
him easier to get rid of by his handlers after he’s served their
purpose. None of this illegal stuff will have any traction in
the media
or in the courts until it is in the best interest of those who control
the
media and the courts.”
Chuck
paused to catch his breath.
“But
that isn’t our focus. For us all here, our
interest is in how he fulfills scripture. Is he the lawless
one? If
so, then we are that much closer to meeting our Blessed Redeemer Jesus
Christ
in the air in the Rapture. If not, we keep looking.
Now does anyone
have anything to add about how he is fulfilling scripture?”
No one
said a word.
“So let
me get back to my original question. It’s
been so long I better reread the scripture.”
And through his
policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his
heart,
and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the
Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:25
“Stuart,”
said Chuck, “What do you think the word
“craft” in this verse is referring to?”
Stuart
looked up surprised at his name being mentioned.
“Well,”
said Stuart, “We call ourselves “the
craft” as a freemason. But we haven’t especially increased
since he was elected president. Sure, we had a gala ball that
he hosted,
but that’s about it. Guess I don’t know.”
“When I
don’t know,” said Chuck, “I turn to the
Bible and let it interpret itself. I’ve looked up all
instances of
verses which contain words which start with “craft”. Let me
read the first verse.”
Cursed be the
man that maketh any
graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the
hands of
the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people
shall
answer and say, Amen. Deuteronomy
27:15
“Do you
know what he carries hidden in his pants pocket?”
asked Chuck.
“Sure”,
said Evelyn. “I’ve seen pictures
of them. They include this metal Madonna and another one with
the image
of a Hindu monkey god. They’re some of his good luck charms.”
Chuck
said, “Another word instead of “good luck
charm” is talisman. He carries talismans in his
pocket. Let
me read some more verses.”
Neither shall
he regard the God of
his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall
magnify
himself above all. But in his estate shall he honour the God
of forces:
and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and
silver, and
with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Daniel 11:37-38
Chuck
continued, “We know he had a father, and a
stepfather. So, he indeed had fathers, plural. Do
you know what God
his fathers worshiped?”
Obadiah
said, “Both of his fathers were Muslim so they would have
worshipped allah.”
Chuck
continued, “That is correct. And that tells me when
looking at this person, that he will not regard allah, the God of the
Muslim. Instead he will regard a god of forces. You
may have not
realized that he specifically mentioned the Hindu in his inauguration
address. And you may have also not known that he had talked
about the
Hindu lord rama and is the first
“But
what about the desire of women?” asked Obadiah.
“In historism this is commonly taught that because the Pope does not
wed,
he does not have the desire of women. So they teach this must
be speaking of
the Pope. However, look at all the sexual relations the
lawless one has had
with men that we know about. And look at who he appointed
over the schools
that is not only out of the closet but in your face.”
“I did
too,” said Stuart. “He underwent lie detector
tests to authenticate what he wrote and everything. He just
didn’t want
to end up like Donald Young.”
“Who
all read the book?” asked Chuck.
Virginia,
Stuart, and Evelyn raised their hand.
“Doesn’t
surprise me,” said Chuck.
“Why
not?” said Obadiah.
“Because

“The
bottom line is, “the desire of women”, has to do
with identifying both the Christian and the Hebrew religion, not his
orientation. The desire of women for both the Christian and
Hebrew religions
was to give birth to the Messiah, the Christ. God, through
Daniel, covered
both religions. When Daniel first wrote these words down the
Christian
religion did not even exist. What a perfect way to capture
the meaning of both
religions.”
Everyone
looked at each other with sober expressions on their
faces. They had learned a lot in a short time.
Chuck
said, “I’d like to read just a little more from the
Bible.”
Study to shew
thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of

Chuck
bent his head forward and closed his eyes. In a soft voice
he began to speak. “May we rightly divide your word O Lord.”,
he prayed.
Chapter
VI
Evelyn
said,
“It’s such a nice day, can we move outside?”
“Sounds
good to
me,” said Stuart. The group of six, whose mood had been
rather
somber and contemplative, suddenly became energized. The
spell had been
broken.
Chuck
said, “Let
me talk to the director and tell him where I’ll be. You never
know,
he may need me for something before I go. Probably, fetching
him more
coffee.” The left side of Chuck’s face rose up in a
half-smile
as he got up from the table and hurried out of the room.
The
original group of
five sat around the table looking at each other. In a short
while Chuck
reappeared. He said, “Let’s go! There’s a park
not far from here. It has picnic tables”. He walked
over to
gather his Bible and manuscript off the table.
“Great!”
said Evelyn, as the rest of them nodded. They all pushed
their chairs
away from the table, stood up, and headed down the stairs and out into
the
daylight. The group of them squinted or shaded their eyes as
they grew
accustomed to the sunlight.
It
was a leisurely
stroll to the park. There was a light breeze.
When
they had sat down
at a park bench, Dave said to Chuck, “We only saw part of your play the
other night. It started off with these three men and their
horses coming
onstage. Can you tell us more about them?”
“Yes,
would be
glad to,” said Chuck. “The three men you saw were the first three
of the four horsemen in Revelation. I wanted to start off in
the past and
bring us into the present. This seemed like a good
transitional
way. And of course the scene ended with the revealing of “the
lawless one”. He was the last horseman you saw.
These three
antichrists were helping set the stage, so to speak, for the rest of my
play. But the new
director,” Chuck emphasized the word, “new” as he spoke,
“canned the opening scene and…”
“Wait
a
minute,” interrupted Dave, you said “three antichrists. Are
you saying there is more than one?”
“Yes.
The
Bible says there is more than one.” Chuck said, “Here, let me read
it.”
Little
children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist
shall come,
even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the
last time.
I John 2:18
“We’ve
all
read that,” said Dave, “but how did you get three?”
“There
have been
many throughout history,” answered Chuck. “But obviously
there are ones that stand out more than others. The book of
Revelation as
recorded by
And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not
of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard
that it
should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I John 4:3
“I
was under a
conviction,” said Chuck, “to capture the essence of
“What
do you
mean?” asked Stuart.
“You
know,”
said Obadiah, “Here, can I see your Bible?” asked Obadiah as he
spoke to Chuck. Obadiah leafed through some pages and started
quoting:
For
I
testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, If
any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that
are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from
the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of
life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written
in this
book.
Revelation
22:18-19
“That’s
pretty serious,” said Stuart.
“Yes,”
answered Chuck. “So we need to open our hearts and let the
Holy
Spirit guide us when we read it. Plus we need to read it for
ourselves
and not rely on passed down traditions as to what it means.
Did you also
know there are blessings for those who read it? Here,
Obadiah, let me
read this other verse.”
Blessed
is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and
keep
those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:3
Chuck
continued.
“But let me get out my copy of the current manuscript and read you what
you probably heard the other night.”
“The
four horsemen of the Apocalypse prepare to mount
their horses. The riders stand anxiously waiting while their
horses
impatiently paw the ground.”
“The
first horse is a magnificent white Arabian decked
in war regalia. His fair-skinned rider is equally arrayed in
fine French satin
with a huge satin ribbon draped across his shoulder and torso and tied
up in
the back in a bow. Upon his head is a golden crown, placed
there by the pope
himself. Although later detractors will say that he grabbed
the crown from the
pope and placed it upon his own head.”
And
I saw, and behold a white horse: and he
that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went
forth
conquering, and to conquer.
Revelation 6:2
“Well
obviously,” said Chuck. “This is a picture of
Napoleon.”
“Here,”
said
Dave. “Look at this.” He had pulled up the famous
painting of Napoleon crossing the
http://www.powellhistory.com/art/Painting/David%20-%20Napoleon%20Crossing%20the%20Alps.jpg
“Look
at that
magnificent white horse,” said Evelyn.
“Yes,”
said
Chuck
said, “And
look at that billowing bow of fabric that extends all the way from his
lower
torso across his front and to his back and into the wind.
That really
makes the painting!
“You
know, all
these years I thought it was talking about a wooden bow,” exclaimed
Dave. “I knew the “bow in the sky” for
God’s covenant with Noah was a rainbow. But here we have a
conqueror. Wouldn’t he be carrying a wooden bow?
Guess I
should look it up in the Greek.” With that Dave pulled the
Bible
verse up on his computer:
http://biblos.com/revelation/6-2.htm
“Okay,
the Greek
word used for “bow” here is “toxon” which is Strongs
number 5115.”
http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/5115.htm
“And
looking up
the meaning of the word in Strongs, it has:”
From
the base of tikto;
a bow
(apparently as the simplest fabric) -- bow.
“Wow,
said
Dave. “The simplest of fabrics. Let’s see the root
word
has to do with being born, like in swaddling clothes. Reminds
me of our
Savior in the manger. The fabric was simply fabric, used as
an article of
clothing. Of course it was simple because it wasn’t sown into
a
garment. That’s what Napoleon has draped across his chest all
right. And in the shape of a bow, like a rainbow.
Or like in
ribbons and bows. How amazing!”
“I
can imagine all
those commentators over the years knowing we had a conqueror,” said
Obadiah. “So why not place him with a wooden bow?
That seems
to fit a lot better than describing him as having a bow of fabric for
part of
his clothing. Who would argue with them jumping to that
conclusion?
But, for that matter, who in the world goes around with a bow of
untailored
fabric wrapped around their front? You know, it only now
makes sense when
you see a picture of Napoleon. Although, I had been told by a
pastor long ago
that Scripture was saying a fabric bow.”
They
all looked at
the picture of Napoleon for a while. Evelyn broke the silence.
“I
don’t see
a crown on his head.”
Dave
said, “I saw
another painting of Napoleon before I brought this one up of him with a
crown. Let me see if I can find it.”
http://www.powellhistory.com/art/Painting/Ingres_Napoleon_on_his_Imperial_throne.jpg
“See,
here it
is,” said Dave.
They
all looked at the
painting displayed on Dave’s laptop. It showed Napoleon in
opulent
dress with a golden crown in the shape of a garland of leafs upon his
head. His left foot was resting on a pillow, enveloped in an
embroidered
shoe. Below that lay a rug with the Napoleonic eagle partly
displayed.
“That
doesn’t
look like a crown,” said Evelyn. “That looks like golden fig
leaves.”
“You’re
right,” said Dave, “but I was also reading about the word
“crown” used in this verse in the Bible commentaries and guess what
it says?”
http://biblos.com/revelation/6-2.htm
With
that, Dave read:
(4) THE
CROWN. A crown was given to him. This crown is not the diadem (
diadema ) but the garland crown ( stephanos ). The last was the crown
given as
a reward for victory in battle, for great achievements or for victory
in games.
The Hero of chapter 19 wears many diadems, kingly crowns (Re 19:12),
but this
rider wears the garland crown, the stephanos. It is important to note
this
distinction.
There
was stunned
silence. This confirmation on top of the last confirmation
was too much.
Dave
broke the
silence. “The Greek says that he was given a garland
crown.
I’ve also read how he was given this crown by the Pope
himself. Just
think, the Pope crowned him emperor. The Bible sure is
accurate.
But I had missed this, till now.”
“Me
too,”
said Obadiah. The others also shook their heads in agreement.
Chuck
interjected,
“Don’t beat yourselves up. Many people have missed
it.
God hides things in plain sight till it is His time to reveal
it. The
important thing is that you see it now. Many others will
never see
it.”
Stuart
said,
“Break time. I’m heading for the restroom.”
The
rest of them mingled
around for a while, some taking the opportunity to follow Stuart,
others
finding a concession stand and buying lemonade. In a while,
the six of
them were back together.
“Ready
for the
second horseman?” asked Chuck, sort of rhetorically. Okay, in
my
manuscript I had:
“The
second horse is an auburn stallion with a finely oiled
brown saddle upon his back. A military man stands beside his
horse,
decked in dress greys with ruddy complexion. He has allied
his German
forces with
And
there went out another horse that was
red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the
earth,
and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a
great
sword.
Revelation 6:4
“Here,
for the
first time we see taking “peace from the earth” in the
description,” continued Chuck. This is different from the
description of Napoleon. We don’t have a majestic fabric bow
around
this person or a golden crown. But we have this person taking
peace from
the earth. We are talking about a world-wide war with one
person, one
antichrist, as the cause. We can only be talking about one
person, Hitler.
“Well
I’ll be
darn,” said Stuart. “There it was all the time.
You’re right. It says “peace from the earth” as plain
as day. It’s talking about World War II. The war to
end all
wars, at least we hope. And he was given a large
sword. That sounds
like he had a lot of large weapons at his disposal, weapons never
available
before. If I were describing u-boats and missiles and buzz
bombs and had
never seen them before, I’d call them great swords. They sure
didn’t have great sword looking weapons back in Napoleon’s day!”
“That’s
for
sure,” said Obadiah.
Chuck
said, “Not
to change the subject but I’m also amazed at the progression between
the
horsemen. There is a progression in height.
Napoleon was shorter
than Hitler. Hitler was 5’ 8”. We’d expect the
next antichrist to be taller. Then there’s the progression in
color. Of course, one would expect the color to progress with
the color
of the horses. What is interesting is that Napoleon’s skin
color in
the paintings is quite pale, almost like his horse, while Hitler
appears to be
more rudy or red.
“Hey,
guess
what?” asked Dave, “I just goggled “Hitler’s
horse” and found out the horse was chestnut colored, which is a dark
red. Look:”
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/pet/nordlicht.html
With
that, everyone
looked to read what Dave had brought up on the screen.
“Looks
like
another clue,” said
“Guess
what?” asked Dave, “Here’s another. I was also looking
up about Napoleon’s emblem while you all were talking, and it’s an
eagle with lightning bolts in its claws. Here’s a picture of
a
button with the emblem:”
http://en.empirecostume.com/images/boutique/XL/3058.jpg
“And
they
described Napoleon as having lightning like attacks here:”
http://www.pbs.org/empires/napoleon/n_war/campaign/page_1.html
“And
then I looked
up Hitler’s emblem, and turns out it’s also an eagle with a
stylized lightning bolt in its claws, the swastika. Here’s a
picture of a buckle with it:”
http://www.remnantofgod.org/NaziRCC/buckle.jpg
“Of
course Hitler
was famous for “blitzkrieg” which means “lightning war”
in German,” continued Dave.
“That’s
pretty good research,” said Chuck.
“Thanks,”
said Dave, “and I’ve got more. I know the tribe of Dan had
the emblem of the eagle with the snake in its claws. The
tribe sort of
usurped the eagle emblem because it was given by God the snake by
itself as its
ensign. I was also thinking how lightning “snakes” across the
sky. A snake is similar in appearance to lightning,
especially when it
slithers back and forth. And what do we call a flying snake
or serpent in
the sky? A dragon! All terms for satan.
But I was thinking
what kind of odds there were that both of the first two antichrists had
new
emblems developed just for them, and they were the eagle with lightning
in
their claws? And after the two antichrists were removed,
their emblems
were never reused by their countries.”
“I
was also
thinking,” continued Dave, “how much the lightning bolts on the
Napoleon button looked like the arrows being held in the claws of the
American
eagle. And arrows can be stylized lightning. In
fact, the first
time the word “lightning” is used in the Bible, it uses the word
“arrows” to apparently mean the same thing. Let me find
it. Here it is:”
And
he
sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited
them. II
Samuel 22:15
“I
can see where
this is headed,” said Stuart. “Let me head you off at the
pass. I hope you don’t mind me stealing your thunder!”
With
this, Stuart
smirked.
“You’re
saying, said Stuart, “That because the first and second antichrist are
connected with lightning, you’d expect the third to be also.”
“That’s
exactly what I’m saying,” said Dave. “I don’t
know if you’ve ever looked up the human name that means lightning
before,
but I have. Parents look up meanings of names when they are
about to name
a baby. There are now-a-days sites online that make the job
easy.
Here, let me find one.”
With
that, Dave pulled
up:
http://www.parents.com/baby-names/
And
put in
“lightning” under the heading “Find names that mean”
The
screen pulled up
three results for all to see:
All
except for Chuck and
Dave stood there with their mouths open.
“No
way,”
said
“Way,”
said
Chuck and Dave in unison. “And don’t forget”, said
Dave.
…
I beheld Satan as lightning
fall
from heaven.
Luke 10:18
“Although
it is also written, which is also one of my favorite
songs,” said Chuck.
These things I
have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be
of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
