“Study to shew
thyself approved
unto God, a workmen that needeth not to be ashamed,
RIGHTLY DIVIDING the Word
of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15
Introduction
No, I do not claim to have all the answers to
questionswhich
may arise in studying the Word of
God.But by
God’s grace, I do
have the answers to some of them.Read
on…….
THE
TRIBULATION PERIOD
The entire Book of Revelation was the vision given by
the Lord to His
disciple, John.The
vision prophesies and describes the JUDGMENT
of the tribulation, which is coming upon unbelieving, Christ
rejecting, mankind
LEFT BEHIND on the earth when the rapture occurs,exactly as the
JUDGMENT of the flood came upon
unbelieving, apostate, mankind in “the
days of Noah,” Luke 17:26
THE
SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION
Over the many years I have been in the Lord’s
ministry, I have been told
numerous times that there is no seven year tribulation, and
also by a few that
there is no tribulation at all.Some
claim that the tribulation will be only 3 ½ years in length,
or even
shorter.
Dear
readers, 1 Corinthians 14:33
is still in the Bible, and God is not the author of
confusion.
The inspired Word plainly states that the LAW given
to Israel by God
1
sets
forth “a shadow of things to come,” Colossians 2:16-17.
Is it then
just
“coincidence” that the seven
year tribulation is repeatedly foreshadowed in the
Old Testament?
All of our readers who seriously study Bible prophecy
are familiar with
Daniel 9:27.Now
what length of time is
the prophesied covenant to be “strengthened?”A few days?3 ½ years?Or
for a full week of
years; seven years?Now
for those who
claim that there is no tribulation at all, does Daniel 9:27
say there will be no
covenant at all?Is that what is
stated?In my
Bible, it is clearly stated
that the covenant is “confirmed”
(strengthened}for
one week.This
is a week of years.Any
seven year period adds up to a “week of
years,” for that is the number of days in a week.Check out Genesis
1 and see it for yourself.Daniel 9:27 also makes it quite clear that
the week of years is divided into two parts right at the
middle of the
week.
When
Israel was still in bondage in the land
of Egypt, the Lord God instituted the Feast of Unleaved
Bread.Now how
many days was that feast to be
observed?Exodus
12:15-20 says seven
days, foreshadowing the seven year tribulation; a year for a
day, Numbers
13:34.
There are other “shadows” of the seven year
tribulation in the Old
Testament; both in the history of Israel and in the
prophecies of “things
to come.”Those
readers who don’t believe it, can
spend their time denying and arguing about it, and it will
still come to pass.Read
Romans 3:4.
But is there any proof of the seven year tribulation
in the New
Testament?There
sure is!Just
keep reading.
TWO
FUTURE WORLD RULERS
During the future seven year Tribulation there will
be a man; an
2
flesh and blood man,
who will be elevated to
rule over the entire world LEFT
BEHIND
on the earth following the rapture.This man will rule
over the one-world
government that the New World Order
has been working for many years to establish on the earth,
and God is going to
let them have it.The rise to power of
this man is described in Revelation 6:1-8.He is the rider on each of the four horses.Carefully notice
the deterioration of his
rule, as it proceeds from a white horse, deceitfully
typifying goodness
and purity, to the pale horse of “Death
and Hell.”Roman
6:23 is still in
the Bible.
Then at the middle of the trib, exactly as prophesied
in Daniel 9:27, another
world ruler will take the reigns of
power, violating the covenant “confirmed”
with Israel, and seeking to destroy Israel, and every
Jew on the face of
the earth.
Significantly,
these two rulers will
be one and the same person.But that
person has two different roles to fulfill, in two different
periods of
time.The
man will rule during
the first half of the tribulation period,but the “beast”
which he
becomes, will rule during the last half of the tribulation
period.This
prophetictruth
knocks the theory of a 3 ½ year tribulation period
clear out of the
park.Some
readers need to stop trying
to rearrange God’s Word to make it fit their theory.2 Timothy
2:15 is still in the Bible.So is Romans
3:4.
In 1973
the Club of Rome met, and
on a world map, divided the entire world into “ten kingdoms.”Now compare
Revelation 13:1, and 17:12-13.Also read
Daniel 7:7, 7:19-20, and 7:24.Each of
these Scripture passages set forth “ten
kingdoms” in existence during the seven year
tribulation, and all ten of
them under the control of the anti-christ.
3
The plan of the Club of Rome, was to establish a
one-world government upon
the earth.It
would be composed of “ten
kingdoms,” each of which would be
ruled by a king.These
ten kings would
then be
answerable to an 11th
King, Chairman, General Secretaty, President, or whatever
titlel they will
choose to give him.Those
in the Club of
Rome had convinced themselves that such a one-world
government will solve all
of the problems which beset the nations today.Supposedly,
with a one-world
government there will be no more wars; a one-world economic
system governing
all world commerce, a one-world religion with no need for
the present “mythical
God” of the Jews and Christians.
Ever since 1973, in conjunction with the New World
Order, the Illuminati,
the Deep State, the Roman church, and other wicked
Christ rejecting
unbelievers, all of these wicked dreamers have been working to
bring their dream of a
one-world government to a reality.
Sadly, as I write, their wicked dream has almost been
accomplished. The
only thing which has stood in their way
was the Republic of the United States of America, and look
what is happening to
it today.Psalm
9:17 is still in the
Bible!
But
now let’s go back to the
Bible…….
The first world ruler will be a man, a natural
man, a flesh and
blood human
being, just like the rest of
us living today.The
inspird Word calls
this man, the anti-christ and “the man of
sin,” 2 Thess. 2:3-4.He will likely
be a leader in some nation presently existing in the world
today, and deeply
involved in worldpolitics.I suspect he will
come forth out of the
Middle East.Why?
Because the ruins of
Shushan, the ancient capitol of
the Assyrian Empire, are still located in the country of
Iran today. In the
prophecies of the Old Testament, the future anti-christ is
4
referred
to as “the
Assyrian” a number of times.
Whatever nation he comes out of, he will come forth
with a burning lust
for political power, and won’t hesitate to lie and deceive
the U.N. and the nations
of the whole world in order to achieve his goal of becoming
ruler over the
entire world.
According to the prophetic Word, he will become ruler
of the whole world
during THE FIRST HALF of the tribulation period.His rise to power
is prophesied in Revelation
6:1-8.He comes
on the world scenepresenting
himself as a
man of peace, riding a white horse.But instead of
being a blessing to mankind,
the other three horses portray a steady decline of his
kingdom. Riding on the
fourth horse, he is identified as DEATH.
A real Biblical contrast.The
Lord Jesus Christ was and is the very embodiment of LIFE.
John 10:10; 14:6.But
the future anti-christ will be the
embodiments of DEATH.Let
every reader take
heed!
This GENTILE anti-christ will achieve his
goal of becoming the
ruler over the whole of mankind on the earth during the
first half of
the seven year tribulation period.During the first half the anti-christ will likely
assist the Jewish
people in rebuilding their Temple.Why?Because
he will be so
egotistical that he will eagerly enter into the rebuilt
Temple, and declare
himself to be “GOD.”Read
it for
yourself in 2 Thess 2:4.
THE
TRANSITION
However, his entering into the rebuilt Jewish Temple
will be his fatal
mistake.No GENTILE
was ever
allowed by the Torah observing Jews to enter into their
Temple.When
the anti-christ, near the middle of the
tribulation, enters into the rebuilt Temple, goes into the
MOST HOLY
5
place,
sits down on the Mercy Throne,
and declares himself to be “God,” it will absolutely
infuriate the Jewish
people.
The Torah observing jews will be so insulted and
angry, that one, or
even a group of them, will assassinate the anti-christ.Oh yes they will!
The assassination of the anti-christis prophesied,
and described in
detail in Zechariah 11:16-17.He will be
killed with a sword, which will pierce his right eye, and
will cut deeply into
his right arm.News
of the death of the
anti-christ will spread quickly around the world.The wicked
political dignitaries of the world
will likely plan a grand funeral service for the scumbag, as
we see the nations
doing today for their national leaders.So
the whole world will know that he is DEAD.
But then an event will happen which will amaze the
whole world.They
will see this man (?) alive again, and
back in his position as ruler of the world.Read it for yourself in Revelation 13:1-3.
During
the last half of
the Tribulation, the anti-christ,in his
role as “a beast,” will
wear a black
patch over his right eye and his withered right arm will be
carried in a sling.
Why?Because Satan has no real power to heal anyone.Satan will be
allowed to bring up the soul of
the deceased anti-christ out of the bottomless pit, but “the beast” will carry the marks of his
assassination the remainder
of his life.
The
Scriptujres do not say anything
about the black patch and sling for his arm, jewish mystics
claim to have been
shown this in visions.
When the anti-christ is assassinated, his wicked
Christ rejecting soul
will descend into Hell (Sheol) located somewhere deep in the
bowels of the
earth.But
then…….
THE
BOTTOMLESS PIT
In Revelation 9, when the fifth angel sounds his
trumpet, the
6
bottomless
pit will be opened
somewhere on the surface of the earth.This
will likely be caused by one or more of the great
earthquakes which will occur
during the first half of the seven year tribulation.Out of that pit
will come forth the locusts
described in Revelation 9:1-12.Their
coming up out of the pit will be the first of three WOES
brought upon Christ
rejecting mankind on the earth during the tribulation, who
refuse to repent and
call upon the Lord for mercy and salvation,9:20-21. We are not
told what happens to the locusts
at the end of the five months they torment wicked
unbelievers, but obviously the
bottomless pit remains open.
THE
COUNTERFEIT
RESURRECTION
SATAN will see the bottomless pit standing open, and
the death of the
anti-christ as a great opportunity to counterfeit the
resurrection of
Christ.So he
will bring up the soul of
the anti-christ out of the bottomlesspit, and the spirit of Satan himself, or of one of
Satan’s fallen
angels, will enter into the dead body of the anti-christ,
energizing it back to
life.A
counterfeit of the resurrection
of Christ, as Satan has no power to genuinely resurrect
anyone.He will
have just taken advantage of the
circumstances that exist at that time.
This deception will cause the masses of mankind on
the earth at that
time, to believe that the anti-christ, whom they will know
had been killed, had
risen from the
dead, Rev. 11:7; 13:1-4;
13:14; 17:8; 17:11.Notice
carefully the
expression about the “beast”’
in
17:8, “…..the beast that
was, and is
not, and yet is.
This
perfectly harmonizes with the truth of the anti-christ
during the first half
of the tribulation. He was, as a man, then he was
killed, then his
wicked soul being brought up out of the bottomless pit by
Satan he
7
will
live again as “the
beast.”
The “beast” will
still be the
anti-christ, but during the last half of the
tribulation,will
no longer be a true human.Notice how he is described in 13:2.No where in the
remainder of the Book of
Revelation, from 11:7 right to his last mention in 20:10, is he ever referred
to as “a man.”He
will still be the anti-christ during the
last half of the Trib, but he will be a “beast”
indwelt by Satan.Satan
has no power
to create, but he does have the power to manipulate matter
and people which God
has created.And
so he will.It
is then “the beast” who will be the second ruler
of mankind on the
earth during the last half of the the tribulation.
GOD’S
TWO WITNESSES
It
is
clearly stated that God’s “two
witnesses” have a ministry of 1260 days, and that
they finish (complete)
theirministry,
Rev. 11:3; 11:7.It
is only AFTER they have completed their
ministry, that they are killed by the “beast.”It is only
at or very near the middle of
the tribulation that the “beast” is even brought up out of
the bottomless
pit.So where
does this place the
ministry of the “two
witnesses?”It
should be glaringly obvious to every
reader willing to deal honestly with God’s Word, that the “two witnesses” minister during the first
half of the
tribulation.
It
is then that at the middle of the tribulation that
the “beast” is
permitted to kill the two
witnesses. This appears to be the first wicked action of the
“beast” after he
isbrought up
from the bottomless pit,
at or near mid-trib.
Then in Rev. 13:5, after having killed the two
witnesses in Rev. 11;7,
the “beast”
is given power to continue to live,
and reign over mankind on the earth, for another “42 months.”42
months is
1,260 days.Now
add
8
the
1,260 days for the ministry of God’s two witnesses, and the
1,260 days the “beast”
is continues to reign over
Christ rejecting mankind on the earth, and the total is 2,520
days.That period
of time, dear readers, is
SEVEN YEARS of 360 days to a
year.The length of the
Tribulation is therefore
clearly established directly from the Scriptures as being seven
years.Those
readers who teach a 3 ½year
tribulation are not teaching God’s Word,
but only a dumb theory based on their own lack of serious
Bible study.PERIOD!Romans 3:4 is still in the Bible.So is 2 Timothy 2:15.
THE SUM OF THE MATTER
But
No!Some readers
just don’t know
when to receive the truth of
God’s Word, and stop trying to change or, rearrange it, to make it fit their
theories.Read
the stern warning given by the Lord in
Revelation 22:18-19, and take heed!We
believers are to study God’s Word to LEARN.We are not studying it to correct the mistakes GOD DID
NOT MAKE,
as He graciously gave mankind His inspired Word, 2 Timothy
3:16.
THE TWO RULERS
Many
pay no attention at all to the Bible truth
that there are to be TWO RULERS over mankind during
the seven year
tribulation.
The
first ruler will be “the
man of sin;” the
anti-christ, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.The
anti-christ will appear on the world scene very soon now, and
he will be a
flesh and blood, air breathing, walking, talking, true human being.He likely is, or
will be, a leader from some
GENTILE nation, or religion, or movement, that
is in existence right now as I write.He
will be filled with a lust for political power, desiring to
rule over the
nations of the whole world, and will stop at nothing until he
achieves his
goal.He will use lies,
flattery, promises
of peace, and will even assist the
Jews in
9
rebuilding
their
Temple.
THE JEWS TEMPLE
Oh yes, the Temple.There are readers
who insist that there will
never be a Jewish Temple rebuilt until Christ Himself builds
the Temple
described in Ezekiel.Is
that so?No it is
not so!2
Thessalonians 2:3-4 explicily states that “the man of sin” will
sit in the Temple,
and shew himself that he is “God.”Nowhow
can the anti-christ sit
in the Temple, and proclaim himself to be God, if no Temple
exists? Well…??
Through
a manipulation of politics, likely
within or before the United Nations, the anti-christ will
become the ruler of
the whole world during the first halfof the tribulation
period.He will
be the rider on each of the four
horses in Rev. 6, which portray his rise to power over the
nations.
But
the GENTILE anti-christ will
make a fatal mistake when he enters into
the JEWISH Temple, sits down on the mercy seat in the Temple,
and proclaims
Himself to be God.The
Torah observing
Jews will instantly recognize that he is a complete phony, for
their prophesied
Messiah is to be of their own people; a
JEW, Deuteronomy 18:18.
Offended
and incensed, the Jews will
assassinate the anti-christ, exactly as described in Zechariah
11:15-17.Any
reader who isa
true believer knows that the soul of the
wicked anti-christ will then descend down into Hell.His rule over
mankind during the first
half of the Tribulation will be over.
THE COUNTERFEIT
RESURRECTION
SATAN
will be anything but pleased with the
death of his MAN, with whom he was trying to establish his
kingdom on the
earth.So there,
at or near, the
middle of the tribulation, Satan will enter into the
dead bodyof the
anti-christ, making it appear that he has been resurrected,
thereby
10
counterfeiting
the
resurrection of Christ before the unbelieving world.
The
bottomless pit will be standing open on the surface of
the earth, for it will
have been opened as recorded in Rev 9, when the plague of
locusts is brought
upon unbelieving mankind.Satan has no
power to resurrect anyone, but since he is a spirit,he does have the
power to enter into
a human body and energize that body.Any reader who has
ever had to deal with
demon possession of a person knows this to be true.
The
spirit of Satan himself will then
enter into the dead body of the anti-christ, and energize his
body, deceiving
the people on the earth at that time, causing them to believe
that the
anti-christ was resurrected back to life, and that they are
powerless against
him, Rev. 13:3-4.
However, the energized
body of the anti-christ
will not be a true human anymore.Rather, he will be just what the Scripture says;a “beast.”Notice that in the remaineder of the Book of Revelation
he is never referred
to as the anti-christ.Every
reference
to him in the remainder of the book is “the
beast.”That
is because a beast is
what he will be; a beast possessed by the spirit of Satan.
According
to
Rev. 13:5, Satan gives him the power to reign over the whole
world of
mankind throughout the last half of the Tribulation
period; 1,260
days.
OBVIOUS TRUTH AND RIGHT CONCLUSIONS
This
should make it obvious that there will
indeed be seven
yearsto the
tribulation period.The first half, 1,260 days, the living
breathing MAN; the anti-christ, will establish his rule over
the earth.But at
or near the middle of the tribulation
he will be assassinated.
Then
the second half, of the Trib, 1,260
days, the “beast,” will
rule
11
over
Christ rejecting mankind
on the
earth.
Now
readers, put these two periods of
1,260 days together, and they add up to SEVEN YEARS of the
terrible tribulation
period, whether some readers like it or not.God does not chang His Word to please any man, and I am
certainly not
going to change it either.
Now
if any reader just cannot comprehend
the truths I have been enabled by the grace of God to set
before our readers,
then perhaps you should read 1 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Corinthians
13:5, and 2
Peter 1:10-11, and act upon what these Scriptures actually and
literally
say.
Critics,
you have my answers to your
denials, theories, and rearranging of God’s Word.I have always taken
God’s Word at face value
for what it actually and literally says.I am certainly not going to turn away from the Word to
adopt the vain
theories of men now.
What
the readers of this study do now is
between them and the Lord.Be
careful.God is
listening, Matthew
12:36-37.
<<<<<<<O>>>>>>>
Dear
readers,
No, I
have not stopped studying and
writing.Due to
my failing eyesight, I
thought I would, But my Lord has given me the grace to press
on for Christ and
souls.Please
keep me in your
prayers.
By the
way, as I write there are only 30
days, counting today, left in this month before the end of
this 120th
year.Are YOU
ready for the flood of
God’s judgment; the tribulation period, or by the saving grace
of God will you
escape what is coming upon this Christ rejecfing world?
