Coming World Events: L.10. "Climax of the AGES"



       (j.b.) Dear Reader, please note, that of my some 25 yrs of serious Bible studies, I have not witnessed, Bible Prophecy coming  to pass,  this fast a pace, as it has been since 1999.
   Who has not seen nor heard, about the visit to Israel of Pope Francis and his guests the 3rd week of may 2014? He was accompanied by important Imam, representing at least some faction of Islam, plus a Greek orthodox Archbishop (?) and I believe a Coptic Christian official, ALL such Faiths have signed the VATICAN 2 Treaty, along with most of earth's religions, which in part they all agree that. . . . .the Vatican Pope, IS the supreme religious AUTHORITY!

     PLUS the European Union members are all in serious negotiations for the ratification of Rome's Sun-god-Day Law.

Revelation 13:3-4  "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
    Many have heard, Geo Bush (bush (1) speak about the "New World Order", well that's it if you read all of Revelation 13, you'll see what it means, especially if you go back and read all the previous posts, you'll learn that the Bible's Beast power, is the Church and State operating as one, just as it was during the Dark Ages. The power behind this power is also told in the chapter 13.
   Please know, all this is not against those who are deceived, by man, yet fully Love Jesus, it IS against the the system of men who control this church!
      Revelation 18:4  "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

    Revelation 18:1-3  "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.?

      We, who are eagerly waiting for Christ's return, so that all this evil will finally begin to see its end,. know that this must happen......which is.......

    Matthew 24:14  "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

     "THIS GOSPEL"  which is what?   Matthew 24:1-13!

     Matthew 24:2-13  "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?   2.verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3. 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? 4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5.For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8. All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

  1. V2, event is past, Rome destroyed all Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Removed Judah from their maps in place      of "Palestine"   Hence Palestinians!
  2. Vs.3 The Temple was their focus, and when they heard it shall be destroyed, well to them that was the end of the world.
  3.  Vs. 4. No a new message to anyone who has been a regular reader on this site, learn God' s Word for self! As only you shall stand in Judgment! Judged by His word!
  4.  Vs. 5. Today we have counterfeit Christs,  in Florida, Mexico City S. Africa and Brazil, each is doing great financially, thank you! We even have Englishman saying he's Maitreya- "The 'cosmic' Christ"!
  5.  Vs. 6.  Since end of World War 2, 1945, we have had 100's of wars, in fact over 20 ongoing as of this 5/2014 date.
  6. Vs. 7. Yes man's greatest wisdom is in the art of killing his neighbors. But have you noticed in the last 15 years, unusual weather patterns? Floods where they seldom occur, Famines, where foods used to grow well enough to export food, now they import or starve? Plus since 1990 earth has endured more earthquakes of 6+ on the Richter scale, than the previous 100 years, and in places not know for earthquakes?  Will all this wake people up from their sleep of deceptions? Pestilences...wow! Look at H.I.V-Aids, millions died and are dying! The Hemorrhagic Viruses, Ebola, that kills healthy adults in three days! Hunta Virus, and all the Flues from animals that n ever USED TO cross the Species Barrier!   THINK!
  7. Vs. 8. All that and it's called the beginning of sorrows! {Then the the plagues will hit}
  8.  Vs. 9. Revelation 13:15  "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
  9.  Vs. 10. Look at us today, millions claim to "Christians" but not a peep is heard from them when an atheist bunch use the courts to have Crosses removed, or ANY thing remotely religious removed from the Public Space. Unless of course, it's from Islam, then they are gutless! But Christians are every one's 'whipping boy'!
  10. Vs.11. "Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."          So all who preach on the Sun-god-Day, do NOT follows the Bible, so whom DO THEY FOLLOW? ........ THINK, AND LOOK AT YOUR REGULAR CALENDAR FOR THE 7TH DAY, AND THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK NO IT AIN'T MONDAY!
  11.  Vs 12. Simple and self explanatory, agree? If you don't read your local crime statistics and have you ever seen or heard of a crime done in LOVE?
  12.  Vs 13. If one has called upon Christ, and has known Him well enough to have a relationship with Him, you CAN call on Him for the strength needed to stand against Satan and his own, all the way to Salvation!
    It will serve you well to remember all the above facts, because....
         Revelation 14:9-10  "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"

Note:  The Beast will not force worship upon anyone until AFTER the SUNDAY WORSHIP LAW IN INTERNATIONALLY IN PLACE AND ENFORCED BY ALL NATION'S LAWS! Then and ONLY then will there be many, who will accept the Mark of the Beast, because they KNOW, that they now worship Satan via the Beast System, but having to faith/trust in Christ for their next meal, they chose Satan! Thus they that do shall share his fate, destruction in the Lake of Fire [Revelation 19:20; 20:10,14-15.]

     These will include ALL those who use man-made Traditions in place of Scriptures, or use the 
counterfeit reformation with its false teachings and the 'spurious' gift of "tongues", which will cause a "shaking" in many churches as the most Biblically Illiterate folks rush to the deceivers side!
    However, at the same time the Three Angels Message will be heard loud and clear, by millions, who come to accept Jesus Christ, in loving obedience! [Revelation 14:6-11 because His saints will do..
    Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

   In the end, there shall be only TWO groups of people.... Those, and ONLY THOSE who fit within this 12th verse of Revelation 14! All thy others, SADLY, will perish with Satan!

    Now many say, this in harsh, and that God is a tyrant! But look at earth itself, and look at all of humanity, and ask "Is there not a better way"? Should we, who are ALL children of the Creator God, not love each other?   Would Y O U my friend, my brother or sister, NOT yearn to live in a world where love rules supreme? Agape love, that is not carnal, but a deep undivided love most have for our Mothers and Fathers, or should have!
    Well that the kind of world God offers to all who are will to fully obey, and that can only be so, by the destruction of both death and sin.  In Revelation 18:1 we find a climax....in this Gospel message.

    Revelation 18:1-2. " And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
   Babylon is today's apostasy in all Churches, as Protestant, Orthodox, Islam, Buddhists, and all the other "Eastern man-made faiths"rush to join the Catholic or the Universal Church! By the very name in Latin does it show just how long ALL this was in their Plans! [At least since 331 A.D.]

     Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Please, all come out from her confusions of wonders, signs and weekly theater, of beautifully robed men in a procession, surrounded by jewels and solid gold cups, while Jesus Christ, even a place to lay His head!

Coming Events L. # 9. GOD'S LAW SEEN IN HEAVEN.


        AS WE LEFT l.8 WE HAD THE HAILSTONES FALLING ON THE LOST PEOPLE....
     
     Revelation 16:20-21  "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."

     NOTE: ALL THIS, before Jesus Christ comes again, and STILL there are many who teach about a "SECRET RAPTURE"?   Please explain to this simple man, exactly how all this can be going one, and in secret?

NOTE:  Persuade a person against their will, they are of the same mind still?????

    Suddenly. . . . the hailstones stop...... The clouds sweep back and the starry heaven are seen, unspeakably glorious contrast, with the black and angry firmament [skies] on either side. All eyes are fixed upwards. There appears against the sky a hand holding two tables of stone, folded together. Says the prophet of old......
    Psalms 50:6  "And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself". Selah.[it mean lit "to chew the cud", or chew in this for a while, think!]

    That Holy Law, IS God's character, His Glory, and another reason why man can't change it!God's righteousness, that amid the thunder and flame was again [yes again as it was in Eden] proclaimed from Sinai as the guide of life is now revealed in stone to man as the rule of judgment. The hand opens the tables of stone and there are seen  the precepts of the Decalogue traces as with a pen of fire.

    "IT is impossible to describe the horror and despair of those who have trampled upon God's Holy law and requirements. The enemies of God's law from the ministers, to priests, down to the least among them, have a new conception of truth and duty, Too late they see that the Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment is the seal of the Living God. Too late they see the true nature of their spurious sabbath... Sunday...and the foundation of sand upon which they have been building. Now they realize, {again too late to save them] that they have been fighting against God. Religious teachers have led souls to perdition while professing to guide them to the gates of Paradise.
     Not until the day of final accounts will it be known how great is the responsibility of men and woman in office, and how terrible are the results of their unfaithfulness. Only in the Eternity can we estimate rightly, the loss of a single soul. Fearful will be the doom of him or her, to whom God will say,
    Matthew 7:23  "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.?

                                                   CHRIST RETURNS.

     Revelation 1:7 " Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

NOTE: Again please tell me how this can still be a secret rapture?  ANYONE? ANY Pastor? While you are at it, please tell how YOU can tell your flock, that Y O U fully believe in the BIBLE, but that Genesis 1, is but an allegorical account? PLEASE!

     All eyes are then fixed upon the eastern sky. Nearer and nearer a cloud approaches, becoming lighter and more glorious, until it is a great white cloud. its base a glory like consuming fire, and above it, the rainbow of the Covenant. Now the whole heaven are alive with radiant forms. Jesus is riding forth as a mighty Conqueror and ....
    Revelation 19:11,14.  "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."

     Ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of holy angels fill the heavens. As the living cloud comes still nearer, every eye behold the Prince of Life. No crown of thorns now mars that sacred head, but a diadem of glory rest on His holy brow. His countenance outshines the dazzling brightness of the noonday sun and....
     Revelation 19:16  "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS"
    My FRIEND, I have not ever witnessed prophecies coming to pass, as with the speed that it has in the last 15 years, so the KING IS COMING! Are Y O U ready for Him today?  I trust so!

                             ARE YOU READY FOR JESUS TO COME? .

"Are Y O U ready for Jesus to come?
Are you faithful in all that Y O U do?
Do Y O U fight the good fight?
Do Y O U stand for the right?
Do others see Jesus in Y O U?

Are Y O U ready to stand in your place?
Are Y O U ready to look upon His face?
Can Y O U look up and say, This is my LORD?
Are Y O U ready for Jesus to come?

    MY friend, I Hope and pray, that you are sick and tired, of this sin filled world, that is so fully corrupted by human sins, and pollution, of earth and of human minds, by the "Anything goes, there's no absolutes in Truth, In Right , in Wrong, as all things are relative, to person place and circumstances, and attitude of the person"?
   IN other words, each lives by their own code of conduct, and the crime rates reflect it!
    Please, do Y O U see this in people in your neighborhood?.......
    2 Timothy 3:1-7  "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

  Yes truth can hurt, but it also sets one free!
NEXT: Climax of the Ages.  L.10

Thanking Y O U for your time

# 8. Coming World Events. "Meanings of: Armageddon-Euphrates-Death Decree."


     THE imagery, or the symbolism, used to describe the SIXTH plague is borrowed from the Old Testament. The term ARMAGEDDON is clearly symbolic, for it is an invented name. There is no literal place on earth by this name, nor has there been. The Hebrew prefix HAR means "mountain", and refers to the symbolic location upon which the 144,000 are gathered--- Mount Zion.

     The word Armageddon is used to symbolize the final struggle between good and evil, the last moral and religious crisis in the history of mankind just before Christ's Second coming.

     Many hundreds of years before John's time the Prophet Isaiah depicted the "king of Babylon" as the personification of Satan.....
     Isaiah 14:13  "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:"
NOTE: (j.b.) Do we have a parallel to this remark for the present, or is this far into the past?  YOU DECIDE!
     "Evangelical Christendom" , January 1.1895 P.15 [Publisher J.S. Phillips, London]
     "As Cardinal Giuseppe Santo, who became POPE PIUS 10th, said this:  "The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. ON the contrary he is Jesus Christ, under the veil of flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is...Jesus Christ, who is speaking. Hence, when anyone speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine, but to obey"
NOTE- How does the Pope (s) handle this verse then?
 
     John 14:6  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
 Note: Does this not exclude the Pope (s) and Mary? Plus confessions of sin the men called Priests?  YES!

      The original Hebrew word for the phrase "mount of the congregation [Isa.14:13] is "HAR-MO'ED" It is Satan's great goal to place himself in the place of Jesus Christ, to receive worship {it is he, Satan, many worship on Sun-god Day, even without their knowing!]  It is where God told His people to assemble for deliverance from their enemies....
     Joel 2:15-16  "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet." Joel 2:23  "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month."
     Daniel 11:44-45  "But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."
NOTE: Please, compare these two verses, notice the stark Between light and evil darkness/ differences?

      In the final conflict/controversy between good and evil God will allow Satan to "gather" his forces to his "mountain,". But the sixth plague will frustrate Satan's attempt to place himself above the Creator, during this plague God will dry up the "great river Euphrates," meaning God works via the Holy Spirit, will open the eyes of many deceived people, who turn on his and his beast system, for deceiving them all, but it comes too late for for to be saved, and they know it, thus the anger!

                                                    Meaning of Euphrates.

       One of old Babylon's prime strengths was its location, the river Euphrates ran right through it....
       Jeremiah 51:13  "O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness."
      Over 500 years before Christ, God punished haughty Babylon by allowing the Persian King Cyrus to conquer it. Cyrus and the kings with him came from the east [ Jeremiah 51:11-12  "Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.  Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon." (Medo-Persian Empire began in 539 B.C, read Daniel 2,4 chapters)
     Jeremiah 51:36  "Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry."
      Isaiah 41:2  "Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow."
      Isaiah 45:1  "Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;"
      Isaiah 46:9-11  "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it."

NOTE: Please do not miss this last passage, because it shows not only that God is, but that He can arrange YOUR future as well!

    The "Babylon" referred to throughout Revelation is an apostate religious system which sits, as did ancient Babylon, upon "many waters". These waters, represent the many "peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues."
      Revelation 17:15  "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
    Are those who having been totally deceived, by the illusion of the beast's "Christianity,", the Holy Spirit has opened their eyes, and they turn and destroy their deceivers, but too late to do them any good towards their salvation, as Probation has closed and the Judgments made and stand fixed. There's no 2nd chance, we each have a life-time of chances---agree? AS these now awake people, stop supporting her, Babylon and her "waters" are dried up  Rev.17:13,14,16 presents a "flashback' showing how Babylon secured her power prior to the sixth plague.
      The dragon (primarily Satan, but in a secondary sense, modern spiritism- Humanism, Pentecostalism, Catholicism) , the Beast [the resurrection of the Church and State as one power] and the false Prophet [apostate Protestantism] who will all  join hands, will deceive the world through the agency of the "Three Unclean Spirits" [Revelation 16:13]. In particular Protestant America will experience [ it is now gaining more "converts than any other human in-devour] a great false spiritualistic revival shortly before it sets up a system of government resembling the Roman Catholic Church-State of the Dark Ages.Apostate Protestants, will reach out and grasp the hand of spiritism, and will join with the Papacy to support Babylon.

Note: Unknown at this date 5/2014, if U Tube is still carrying the Pope Frances message to the Pentecostal and Evangelical Assembly held earlier this year, with Kenneth Copeland and Tony Parker in a video link. The main message?  "We are ALL Catholics, the Protest is over!" Already signed and on board are the Anglicans, the Lutherans, some Baptists, the Russian and Greek Orthodox, all the Eastern religions including the Deli-Lama and Muslims. In fact an Imam, a Greek Orthodox head and high ranking Rabbis were all together in Israel  for a Papal State visit this past few days!
    What's the import?   Well heard of Vatican Two?  [1999]A signed by all the above and more, stating that they all recognize the Pope as the ultimate Religious authority!  Heard Bush # 1 speak of the New World Order? This is it!  So how close are we to Christ's return?

                                               THE DEATH DECREE. 

     THIS CHURCH-STATE CONFEDERACY will have "one mind"- one purpose, to war against the Lamb, Christ, and those that follow Him..
      Revelation 17:13  "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."
     It will at first be urged, to "get right with God"and join with them and their fellow "Christians", into apostasy with them! When invitations, and urging don't work then the word will go forth, that opposition just can not be tolerated, and that it is better for the few to die than all to to die, as whole nations will be brought into peril and confusion and ever increasing lawlessness. Simply due to the fact this system holds that all these plagues are are due to humanity leaving God and we all must join hands and worship God, and on SUN-god Day! In their mad attempt to persuade the Sabbath keepers to line up with them on their man-made holy? day!
    Finally a decree will be given that ALL Sabbath-keepers of the 4th Commandment who will not fall in line, with them, are denounced as deserving the severest punishments afforded to all heretics, death!.....
      Revelation 13:15  "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
     Thankfully before many are murdered, as "heretics" please know that Rome STILL holds that it is she, that declared WHAT HERESY IS, AND THAT SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO KILL THEM. to lose a few is better than to lose all idea! That's when Micheal "Stands-up" and says "IT IS DONE"  and returns to earth, to begin evils total elimination!
     Joel 3:16  "The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel."
    Isaiah 30:29-30  "Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.  And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones."
     Hebrews 12:26  "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."

    The great and self-important Babylon will then collapse, as they see Jesus returning to earth, and they will flee from His presence as hailstones, up to 90 pounds in weight, and fire are doing their work of destruction of sinners. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8  "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: "
   Revelation 6:14-17  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 

Dear Reader, I hope and pray that Y O U will be able to stand because Christ' Spirit is in Y O U!

Next: L.9. God's Law  as seen in the Heaven.

Coming World Events # 7. Seven Last Plagues- the Death Decree.


      IN our search for God's truth [light] on this topic let us never forget that God is long-suffering [very patient] with us all.....

      2 Peter 3:9  "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

      You may have asked why?
      If you have this question, then please read again the above verse, because HE wants none to perish, but it is our choice, to repent yes or no, right? So as we study this solemn message, let none forget that God is sending to us HIS last warning message covered in a love to strong and too deep for us to fully grasp! Remember HE sent Christ, HIS SON, to die for our sins, and watched  Jesus in His agony. Yes Christ could have refused to die, gotten off the Cross, and left us to stew in our sins, but thankfully HE saw Y O U R face and mine, and willingly died for us!

    It is with love for each of us that HE made it possible for us to know what's ahead, HE did not give us a time nor date, as He knew that we'd ignore Him and His ways until that possible minute, agree?

     Revelation 14:9-10  "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
NOTE: But how does mankind "worship the beast, and his image? Please remember, from previous lessons, the Bible's meaning of the beast power. IT is when Church and State becomes as ONE. This is not YET the case, but as soon as Sunday law, whereby both Church and Government law, Internationally,decrees "Sunday worship, or prison or death"! Then whosoever obeys and worships on Sun-god-Day, shall drink from the cup of god's wrath! This Sunday worship, at that time, fore-wards, is also the Mark of the Beast.
    Now do remember how a previous lesson began? "That, that was, shall be again, nothing new under the sun?  Ecclesiastes 1: 9. Go to your "Memory Shelf", and recall the Ten Plagues of Egypt,
AND why did God chose that time to move?....

    Exodus 5:1  "And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness."
     God The Father, wanted them to again worship Him on HIS SABBATH, "Feast unto me in the wilderness.."   This the Pharaoh refused to allow, then the Sabbath or rest in Him, on the Seventh day!
   That's when God unleashed His powers upon the Egypt! This He shall do again, when SUNDAY LAW BECOMES THE LAW OF EARTH! Many nations in the EU, European Union are putting legislation together to pass this "Sunday Law," the the Vatican is pushing hard for!

    So the time is soon here, when the plagues begin, and Satan appears visible to mankind as an Angel of Light, to show he is the Instead of Christ, and ushers in the "Little time of Trouble," in which the Mark of the Beast will be given out, and God's people will be "SEALED".
    This marks the end of Probation, the Judgment is finished and set..... thus.......

    Revelation 22:11-12  "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
     All the last Plagues will be showered upon the earth. but they will NOT fall upon all those within whom Christ's spirit dwells!  Is Christ in Y O U?

                           The Plagues-- GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE [for Satan and Company}

1. Grievous sores {boils?] on all who worship the Beast power. 
          Revelation 16:2  "And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image. "

2. Seas turns to blood.
      Revelation 16:3  "And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea."   [ V.6.because this system shed blood of many saints]

3. All water turns to blood.
     Revelation 16:4  "And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood."

4. Scorching Sun.
      Revelation 16:8  "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire."

5.Darkness on the Seat of the Beast.
    Revelation 16:10  "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,"   Revelation 16:11  "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."    [they did not change their hearts] 

6. Dried-up River Euphrates.
      Revelation 16:12  "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. "

7. Hail, Earthquakes, Fire.
       Revelation 16:16-21  "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."

    If Jesus Christ does NOT dwell within Y O U, ask His to come in right NOW! For HE is the why of this saying  : Born once die twice, born twice die once! Believers "DIE" unto Christ.
Those who reject Christ, shall be born one time, but they shall die twice, once as a natural death or when living at Christ's return they shall perish. The 1,000 years later the SECOND Resurrection they will live again, in the body, at the same, with the same illnesses, they had at death, then they will see ALL the time God appealed to them, and they rejected all His appeals then the Lake of fire they shall share with Satan, until all are ashes!

                          WHEN DO PLAGUES BEGIN?

   Daniel 12:1  "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

   Matthew 24:36  "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
Note:  If ANY one speaks or writes about a time, or date, they are "blowing smoke"!
          Revelation 15:1  And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
         Revelation 16:1  "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth."

     The question naturally arises, "when do these plagues come in the stream of time"? They will follow both the Mark of the Beast, Sunday Law International, and the THIRD ANGEL OF REVELATION 14, who represents God's last and final invitation to those in BABYLON {confusion of errors] to come out of her [Rev.18:4] and accept Christ's work for them on the Cross and in the Most Holy Place, in the Heavenly Sanctuary!
     Revelation 17 and 18 chapters, are God's reason for the why of all this fury.  Yet each one of these plagues holds great significance, each counteracts a different aspect of Babylon's great power. [Please never forget Babylon's powers comes from Satan and his fallen angels!]  The Mark of the Beast in  Rev.13, will be in conjunction with a great spurious religious revival, which will use Satan "Miracle Powers", to deceive men, but the first plague will show all humanity just how powerless this power is against God!

     During the plagues, though men may show outward "Repentance"< inwards they will not truly repent of their sins because of Rev.22:11, "... let the filthy be filthy still...."  Because the Holy Spirit's been withdrawn from the earth....
      Revelation 15:8  "And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."

    During the 6th and 7th Plagues,Babylon, the great Protestant Apostasy and the Beast's coalition, will begin to collapse, due to loss of popular support, and the population will turn on them both, angry because they were the deceivers, but much to late of them to be saved, even though they now know and realize their errors towards Christ and The Father.  God will then.... unleash His final fury upon all who did not love Him enough to obey all His Commandments!
NOTE: The hail stones weighing a talent? Depends upon whose numbers one uses, but that hail stones from a small as 59 pounds to as great as 93 pounds! But not shall hurt Christ's own!]

As YOU can now see, plainly, it's time to make Y O U R choice, God's Word or the words of man!  [of course no man would even think of telling Y O U a lie right?]

Next: #8. The Meanings of: Armageddon, Euphrates, the Death Decree.
Thank Y O U, for your time, hope "to C U next lesson and in the here-after.

L. #. 6. "STAGE SET FOR FINAL CONFLICT" Coming World Events.


      Ecclesiastes 1:9  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

      Note: {(j.b.) Yes, by now Y O U are most likely saying, "You keep bringing up this verse,why? Well it's where we arrived the saying "History repeats itself, but those who can't learn from errors of the past, will repeat them!  I want all of Y O U, to know what  shall take place, and what  Y O U  must do to gain Eternal Life! A life without sorrows nor pains, nor anything bad nor sad, ever...! Yet each shall be a youthful but physically and mentally mature,  for ever!

     You see dear reader, the final Conflict, shall be between GOD's TRUTH, AND MEN OF SATAN, AND ERROR! [Those whom Satan has fully deceived with Biblical errors, Sunday worship,die go to your reward then and there etc.]
      What does that mean to Y O U? If YOU are already on the side of God's commandments, it means to stand unerringly, upon ALL TEN of them! ALL TEN as found in Exodus 20:1-17, and not those chanced by men! Who have dropped the 2nd, and changed to day of the 4th or their 3rd! If you doubt this take any Bible, to Exodus 20:1-17 and then compare that to the Converts Book of Catechism list, and ask "WHY HAVE THEY ALL LIED TO ME"?   WELL READ ON...

    1 Timothy 4:1-3 " Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."

      NOTE (j.b) I ask Y O U, if any "Religious System", willing to take God's Laws and abrogate the 2nd Commandment,, PLUS change the day of the 4th Commandment, plus teach another 95 {Remember Martin Luther's 95 Thesis that he posted on the Church's door? They were all points that the Papacy was found to be in error with the Holy Bible, and they have added more than a few since IE "Mary is now a CO-Mediator with Jesus Christ, and there is NOT ONE WORD in the Holy Bible that shows she has been taken up to Heaven! But what about this verse?
     John 14:6  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." 
     Note: This church system says this church is the way! Whom to put Y O U R trust into? God or men?
     1 Timothy 2:5 " For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
     Note: Their confess sins to a man? So why are they pushing Mary into this position? MY guess, and that's all it is, that most of earth's people are well disposed to the Queen of Heaven idea, rather than Jesus as the Son of God! As under Vatican II treaty, almost all of Earth's religions are called good, and all have recognized the Pope as the world's Religious Leader! Plus the Jesuits have been very busy infiltrating all faiths and denominations, to sow seeds of error, even this was foretold....
     Matthew 7:15  "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  2 Peter 2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.Mark 13:22  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.Matthew 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

      So, If  Y O U  have not yet completely stepped over to God's side, b y keeping ALL the Ten Guideposts to life, including the FOURTH, Rome's THIRD, [note as all know there's 10 they split the the 10th one into two parts, 9 and 10, how nice, how so wrong!] "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy".  Due to the simple fact, none knows the future, nor when we shall draw our last breath, may I be so bold as to say DO IT NOW? Turn to Jesus and thank Him for dying for your sins, and mine. This is a life-saving appeal, to Y O U, your Eternal Life, is worth ALL, my efforts!

    THIS battle will be as the one conflict on the Plains of Dura in old Babylon......THEN----
   Daniel 3:1  "Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon."
   Near future------
   Revelation 13:14-15  "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

NOTE: Do YOU look at all the Mary sightings, all the bleeding idols, bleeding olive oil or blood as "miracles"? Remember Satan can also do this, so why should God do these "Parlor Tricks?"
THEN----
    Daniel 3:6  "And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
RESULTS:
     Daniel 3:18-22  "But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.  And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.  Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
OUT COME------
   Daniel 3:23-27  "And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.  He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.  Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.  And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them."  

    In the days ahead, every man and woman and child,of the age of accountability, will be called to take a stand for God, in the very same way. It will however NOT be a physical image, per say, although this church if full of man-made statues/idols, it will be a "SPIRITUAL IMAGE" .  The Battle at Dura was over the 2nd Commandment, that Rome abrogated. As she is All ABOUT IMAGES AND THEATER, SIGNS AND WONDERS. [If one has no truth, then one must dazzle with error, right?]

    Exodus 20:4-5  "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

                        THE BATTLE THAT CONFRONTS HUMANITY. . . .TODAY.

      The Battle, right now and right up to the time Christ returns shall be over the fourth Commandment as found in Exodus 20:8-11. THEREFORE-- IT SHALL BE A BATTLE OVER our OBEDIENCE, EITHER TO GOD OR MAN!

    Exodus 20:8-11  "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

NOTE (j.b.) A QUESTION:  Can any one seriously contemplate man changing God's LAW,  without consequences, now or in the life hereafter?  Romans 6:23  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

    As it is plain, this battle is all about obedience, plain and simple. As ALL have been the receiver of God's gift of a free-will, therefore, ALL are able to choose, whom we obey, agree? Thus Y O U R choice and mine, is WHOM to obey GOD or MAN?
     Before Y O U give answer, answer this:  "WHO can give Y O U Salvation and Eternal life? GOD or MAN?"   In other words GOD OR THE VICAR OF GOD, which is but a man elected by men, by YOUR keeping Sunday worships, the sign of his power?

    Joshua 24:15  "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
       Acts 5:29  "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
      Revelation 22:14  "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

NOTE: Dear Reader, please know this one thing, just as there is no Neutral in Nature, either a positive or a negative charge is present, neither can we "SIT ON THE FENCE" and chose no side, for those who refuse to choose God, are already in Satan's grasp, for it is HE, that is the power behind all things against God and Christ! Please remember, the most evil, dictatorial, Communistic regime, North Korea, even it follows Satan's power and gives people Sun-god day, as a free work day!  THINK!

     2 Thessalonians 2:10-11  "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
     Matthew 7:7  "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

NOTE: YES it us, that must do the seeking for Christ, by the STUDY, serious study of His Word, then seek and ye shall find HIM! Knock??? By prayers, asking for wisdom to see clearly the meanings of the Word!

Thank Y O U for your time.

L.#.5. "HOW WILL THIS COME ABOUT"?



     TO ANSWER THE QUESTION POSED IN THE TITLE, AS ALWAYS TURN TO THE BIBLE FOR ANSWERS.

1..  Performance of great miracles by the apostate Protestant power, [ever see Benny Hinn's "healing miracles?]  that will lead the Biblical Illiterate into following the rest of such people into the papal power.
      Revelation 13:13-14  "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

2. Apostate Protestantism will actually make"an image" to the Papacy....
      Revelation 13:14  "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."
     NOTE: on U Tube find a video "The Pope's message" to the Pentecostal and Evangelicals, in which a Pentecostal-Anglican Bishop, shouted the Protest is over, thus there can be no more Protestants, for we are all, ALL Catholics! This first appeared near the beginning of 2014.

3. Enforcement[ by prison or death] to worship this image on SUN god Day.....
     Revelation 13:15 " And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

4. "The Mark of the Beast". Nations speak via their laws, agree? National and International Sun- day laws will be passed. {many are already on the books as the "blue Laws" but not yet enforced, as did California in the mid late 1800's when she imprisoned some 160 people for violation of Go to Church on Sunday LAW! Mrs E. White'[s son was one of those!
      Revelation 13:16-18  "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."
NOTE: Do NOT let the 666 throw you, it is NOT SATAN, but an allied man. Satan is fallen Angel thus NOT a MAN!

"FACTS OF FAITH"  by Christian Edwardson, p.304  said this:
    The Papacy--- the beast power-- was formed by a union of church and state, resulting in the persecutions of dissenters. {This is always a fact of life, when church and governments become one, look at all the Islamic nations, and become a non Muslim, and not be killed, yet its believers say theirs is religion of tolerance!]

      "In forming the Papacy during the 4th and 5th Centuries, the Catholic Bishops, in conjunction with the State, enforced the Pagan's 'venerable day of the sub', as a day of rest. This was one of the first steps in uniting church and state. [Due to simple math, the pagans outnumbered Christians many times to one, so they took the easy road, as so many do so this very day, and discarding right or wrong]thereby producing the Prophetic term "The Beast Power". And now many are hard at work in the forming,  "An Image of The Beast", whereby both the Protestants and the Catholics will make Sunday Laws the entering wedge in their combined attempt to enforce religion b y force of law. Sunday legislation constitutes the neutral ground for co-operation between Catholics and Protestants, and in this work they seek each other's assistance"

     Over 100 years ago, Ellen White, was given the view to our times today, and wrote:
     "Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth,  [wow, she was shown an accurate picture for these times, agree?] and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor [ can you say 'buying votes"?] will yield to the popular demand for enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected"    from...."The Great Controversy, Between Christ and Satan" p. 592.

     "When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitable result" Ibid p. 445.

    This is what she pointed towards......
    Revelation 13:15-17  "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  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."

Note: Put all this with this simple fact: "Since 1999's Vatican II,  signing the Lutherans, the Anglicans, the Russian and Greek Orthodoxies, and in the last five years of Today's 2014, branches of the Baptists, and even the Delia Lama have signed on the agree that the Roman Pontiff IS earth's Supreme Religious Leader and Authority!  Yet once they begin to kill those who refuse to worship this "Image of the Beast' s Sun-god Day, are being killed, Jesus return is only days away, from giving us all our Salvation, in fact and reality!

      Revelation 12:17  "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ"
     .Revelation 19:10  "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"
       John 15:14-15  "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."

     My friend, may I call that? Will Christ call you a servant or His friend? I pray the latter!

Next: L. #. 6. "Stage Set for the Final Conflict"

L. # 4. "Three 'Generals' Appointed for the Battle of Armageddon"


      Revelation 16:13-14  "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."
       Revelation 16:16  "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
 
     In the final movements that usher in the return of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, the leaders of this earth and their people, who believed them, will be gathered to the last great conflict by three unclean spirits which go forth from the Dragon [Satan], the Beast [Church and State as One entity] and the False Prophet [ all Christian ( Protestants)  who have run back to Mother in Rome] . Here the three generals, or powers, through whom Satan will work in his endeavor to swing the world to his side, in that final battle between truth and error. Between the Word of God and thew word of man.

      If Y O U have not yet read the Jesuit's Oath of Membership, under Bones in Stones" dated 4/21/'14 please do so, and remember that the present Pope Francis, IS A JESUIT!  [Nuff' said?]

     On the side of TRUTH, there are three Great Powers,: (1) God The Father of all Truth: (2) Jesus Christ, Who is the Truth: (3) The Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of Truth. When a person is baptized, they are baptized in the name of The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each person who then lives for and obey Christ, becomes a part of the Family of God, and of truth.
      In direct opposition, the devil has three great generals, or 'powers' on his side the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. In the final conflict they will unite to form one confederacy to make war on Truth of God, The Law of god, and The people of God. Their weapons will be man's laws and "Traditions of men" .

                                WHO IS "THE DRAGON''?

  THIS is a natural question.....
   Revelation 12:9  "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. "
    Satan, the devil, is the dragon, who works through and uses human agencies, such as the Pharaoh, at the time of the Exodus, or Pagan Rome to murder Christ on the Cross, just as HE has and continues to use most Christian churches still today!   [If Y O U doubt this then please read Genesis 2:1-3, and Exodus 20:8-11 and take this to heart.... John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments. knowing that the Sabbath begins on sunset Friday and ends on sunset Saturday, plus NO MAN can change GOD's LAW!]
    But Satan works through human agencies: Revelation 12:3-5  "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
NOTE: Remember the story of Herod, the king who ordered the slaying of all males up to two years of age that lived around Bethlehem?   Matthew 2:16  "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men."   Matthew 2:18  "In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
   Just as he fully deceived by delusions of grandeur the Vatican, when it changed the day of worship, the Sabbath to the First day of the week plus some 95 other breaches in the wall of God's truth!  [see Martin Luther's 95 Thesis on Google or Wikipedia.]
   
    The ancient Paganism is actually devil worship......1 Corinthians 10:9  "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.   1 Corinthians 10:20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils."

NOTE: in view of the last verse, PLEASE tell me, "Whom do they worship in Sun god day?? SELAH!

      Mrs. White states: "The very spirit of heathen idolatry is rife today, though under the influence of science and education it has assumed a more refined and attractive form." TC. V.5. P.192

     In his book, "Preparation for the Final Crises" Fernando Chaij wrote on P. 98.
     "Spiritualism's self-immortality of the soul and self-deification of man  [we are all gods] , of man is today's Paganism. So ion this particular prophecy, the dragon is Satan, working through the medium of spiritualism. "And manifests itself and works through four different channels: Paganism (pagan forms of worship and superstition dominated by spiritualism); modern or social spiritualism; the "christian" spiritualism, which has amalgamated itself with Protestantism and Catholicism's worships by the means of miracles on the basis of the common doctrine of immortality of the soul; and scientific spiritualism which is practiced in the form of laboratory investigations, under the name of Parapsychology or other 'modern' designations."

                       WHO IS THE BEAST?

      IN Revelation 13, the I.D marks are given. Sorry this beast is NOT a literal animal anyone will find in the Zoo or the wild. {Read Daniel 2 and 4th chapters, to I.D these earthly powers, and you'll not that John sees these from his time back to Daniel, but Daniel sees and writes as per inspiration of the Holy Spirit, from his time as the present and looking to the future]  It is , however a fit description of an earthly power, within the religio-political power sphere, please note our Father's description:........

        Revelation 13:1  "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
     The seven heads, [are what's left of the 10 horns/heads, that were uprooted by this power [Daniel 7:8 Eyes of a man , this tells us that this power is of man, 7:8 tells us 3 would be plucked up by the roots, thus there'd be no survivors!, and 7:24 tells us he's different from all the others, and shall subdue 3 kings the Heruli in A.D. 493, the Vandal in 534 and the Ostrogoths in A.D. 538. This man's history confirms]

     The & Heads and ten horns identify this beast power as the successor of the Pagan Roman Empire....
      Revelation 12:3-5  "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
.......  the Sea is symbolic of "peoples and multitudes", [as in a "sea of faces"] ...Revelation 17:15  "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues"
Note: Biblically the Bible speaks to two woman, two churches. One woman in white [Revelation 12:1-2, the other in , Rev. 17:1-5 in scarlet and purple, called a whore, because she is representing the apostate church of man, who changed many Bible doctrines, including the Sabbath] The winds of the sea, are symbolic of wars and strife and commotions: therefore the rise of this beast power, from the sea, portrays the rise of this power from thickly populated area of this earth!

     Please, note that this beast is a composite....... Revelation 13:2  "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
     If you remember your reading of Daniel's 2nd and 4th chapters, you'll notice that all these "animal parts," are remnants of previous kingdoms, that this 4th beast power absorbed, also adopted, their religious symbols and doctrines as well as some customs, [they are still with her to this day, Google or Wikipedia Sumerian gods, and take note of the "Fish-mouth" miter hats, and the pine cones, now look at the Pope's staff, and find the Pine Cone carved on it.Prayers to the dead ("saints) all this is from Pagan Babylon of old.]

     H.M.S. Richards of the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcasts, in his latest book, "One WORLD," gives this helpful comment on verse 2 of revelation 13..
     "The very symbols used in the seventh chapter of Daniel are introduced here: it has the mouth of a lion, Daniel's symbol of Babylon; the feet of Bear, Medo-Persia; the body of a leopard, Greece; the ten horns, distinguishing features of the divided Roman Empire's ten kings, representing the ten nations of Western Europe."
     Pastor Richards further states, "The old pagan religious systems of Babylon passed through the various stages, [beastly powers] of the four world empires, and into Rome itself. Latter they influenced even the Christian form in a great apostasy that grew up in the ecclesiastical organization, so the Papacy became the heir of the superstitions and false philosophies of all ages from Babylon on down, and so becomes the mystic Babylon of the book of Revelation." Pages 225-226.. [Babylon means confusion to Babble]

      Another prediction, [please know that John wrote this as a prisoner on the Island of Patmos between 68 to 96 A.D.thus after Christ's return to Heaven in A.D 32] listed in this chapter, helps us to clearly I.D. the beast. Notice verse 5 +......
   
     Revelation 13:5-7  "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations"
      .This religious-political power, is to bear rule for 42 months. Under Roman rule in Bible times, a legal month had 30 days, 42 x 30 = 1260 days. In prophecy a day represents a year, thus 1260 years she would rule as church and state being one.....Ezekiel 4:6 "I have appointed thee each day for a year.."

NOTE: When the Emperor Constantine, moved from Rome to his new capital Constantinople [Istanbul-Turkey] in 331 A.D. he gave his power over the Western Roman Empire to the then Bishop of the church in Rome, and declared him as the supreme authority over all churches, and church matters]

      The historian Wile, in his "History of the Reformation", states: "In 538, the Bishop of Rome became the 'head of all churches', and, ' the corrector of all heretics', and the 1260 ensuing years of Papal supremacy began {remember that same year 538  the of the three kingdoms were uprooted] , during much of that time it was a death penalty to read the Bible, for non-church men [unless you were a rich nobleman, even having one verse on your person, was enough to have you burned alive at the stake] and 1,000's upon 1,000's were killed because they kept the Bible's Sabbaths of the Lord, and other Bible truths."  {Foxe's 'Book of Martyrs," puts the number upwards of 50, millions]

    The Prophecy points out this power would receive a 'deadly wound', and by Napoleon's military power, the then Pope was arrested, and the Papal lands, were reduced to that 114 acres of today. This was done in 1798. So from 538-1798= 1260 years! The fore-telling, points out that this power would receive a "deadly Wound", which would be healed [ the Lateran Treaty of 1929, between Mussolini and Gaspari, had many western newspapers write huge headlines, "The deadly Wound is healed"]..... At that time the cry went up... "Catholicism is dead." People obviously knew not the Word of God, then or NOW!

     Revelation 13:3-8  "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." 

    Yet that cry was to be short lived, for in 1800, when Napoleon came to power in France, he permitted the cardinals to elect a Pope, and they have had one ever since.. In 1870 the Vatican Council in Rome, on July 18, it was announced by decree, that the Pope is infallible, on religion matters,. This was the dogma pf papal infallibility-- that the popes had never made a mistake, and never could while speaking  ex  cathedra,  that is "when the Roman Pontiff defines a doctrine regarding faith or morals."
     When this "healed wound" was run by John Paul II, the whole world began to admire him and the his church. {Note: Even the most Communistic of nations North Korea, follows her law for Sun-day rest!] Newspapers, around the world carried the unprecedented event of October 4, 1965-- "POPE ARRIVES IN U.S." Pope asks blessing on the U.S. and LBJ. Pope, Utters Peace Plea, Blessing at U.N Session" And them to climax this visit this Pope said Mass in Yankee Stadium and this was carried by Telstar television to the entire world. The Bible says....

     Revelation 13:8  "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
NOTE: please notice the huge qualifier here..... "...whose names ARE NOT written in the Book of Life", meaning they shall not have eternal life but perish with Satan in the Lake of Fire of Revelation 20:14-15. 

                                      WHO IS THE FALSE PROPHET?

     The Dragon and the Beast have now been identified, so who is the false prophet?   At the very time that the apostle John was shown the papal power, "go into captivity". He says.....
     Revelation 13:10-14  "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

    There can be no doubt about the identity of the two-horned beast power as being the false prophet of the Tri-Armageddon confederacy when we compare the statement of chapter 19:20...
     Revelation 19:20  "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone"

     Please know, a prophet is one who speak for, or on behalf of another. This "prophet" is one who speaks on the behalf of the fist beast, in connection with the healing of its 'deadly wound", to persuade the world to untie in allegiance to it. [ Ever heard of these terms: "New World Order" or  "The  One World Government" and "The One World Church, all are one of the same thing, run by the Vatican!]

     Now a history lesson, American History, yet! What power was rising up upon the earth, [remember the first beast rose up in the sea of faces, highly populated areas, thus can we say that rising up out the the earth or ground, must mean coming to power in largely un-populated part of earth? YES!] The U.S Constitution and the Declaration of Independence was ratified by Congress, and ratified by all 13 states, in which year? 1798 A.D.] It is the two-horned beast or "false Prophet", that preforms the miracles before the fist beast.

NOTE: If you know history, or follow Daniel in the 2nd, and 4th chapters on, you will learn that with each succeeding power the move was always from the East to the West, from Babylon to Persia, to Greece to Rome and the across the 'pond' to America. Why is that so? Well Christ at His return will appear is "lightning from the east to the west, as well!

     What OTHER POWER WAS RISING IN THE 1790'S,  not in a populated area- but in a wilderness area- 'coming up out of the earth..". From four specific aspects of prophecy , only one power could be described-- The Untied States--.

     Notice what this Protestant power is to do:
      Revelation 13:12  "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

    At first glance, it seems incredible. But the prophecy clearly points out that a sector of Protestantism which, after hearing the Bible truth, will reject it, and unite to summon support of the State to compel people to follow the Papal power and bow the knee to the Catholic hierarchy.
NOTE: As of 1999, with the signing of Treaties the "Vatican II" the Lutherans, the Anglicans, some branches of the Baptists, The Orthodox churches- Russian and Greek, the all the Eastern religions including the Delia Lama and Muslims have all signed this accord which states that the Pope is the ultimate authority on religious matters, and that Unity of of love and brotherhood, are the binding factors!  SORRY, BUT TRUTH MIXED WITH ERROR PRODUCES ALL ERROR! But that's Satan's M.O. a little truth mixed in with big lies!

L. # 3. "SATAN WILL IMPERSONATE JESUS CHRIST."



       2 Corinthians 11:14  "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

      In her marvelous book, "The Great Controversy," by Ellen White, please find this prediction in focus on Pages 624-625. 
     "Fearful sights of a supernatural character will soon be revealed in the heavens, in token of the power of miracle-working demons. The spirits of devils will go forth to the kings of the earth and to the whole world, to fasten then in deception and urge them on to unite with Satan "[(j.b.) and his chosen power system run by men]. "In his struggle against the government of Heaven. By these agencies, rulers and subjects will be alike deceived. Persons will arise pretending to be christ Himself [ (j.b.) as of this writing, there are one such in Florida, another in Mexico City and another in Rio, in Brazil, and the last in S. Africa, all doing very well financially, thank you!]Persons will arise [remember she wrote this in the mid 1890's!] , and claiming the title and worship which belongs to the world's Redeemer. They will perform wonderful miracles of healing, and will profess to have revelations from Heaven contradicting the testimony of the Scriptures."
      "As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will impersonate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Savior's Advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of  god, given by John in Revelation."   Cont:
     Revelation 1:13-17  "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:"

Cont: " The glory that surrounds his is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air,  'Christ has come" Christ has come!' The people prostate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands, and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody."
     In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the gracious, heavenly truths which the Savior uttered; he heals the diseases of people, and then, in  his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday [ (j.b.) now think of which church also claims to have the power to change the Sabbath, hint look to Rome, Italy]  and, commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He {Satan] declares that those who persist in keeping holy the the Seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans, who were deceived by Simon Magus.
[from whom we have the term 'Simony', the one man who tried to buy the power sent through Christ's apostles, and wound up in the employment of Nero]. The multitudes from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying This is 'the great power of God'. "  Cont:
     Acts 8:9-11  "But there was a certain man, called Simon, which before time in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries."

Cont: "But the people of God will not be misled. The teachings of this false christ are not in accordance with Scriptures. His blessings are pronounced upon the worshipers of the beast and his image, the very class upon whom the Bible declares that God's unmingled wrath shall be poured out."

     "And, furthermore, Satan is not permitted to counterfeit the manner of Christ's Advent. [ remember when Jesus returns again, HIS feet WILL NOT touch this earth, His own will meet Him in the clouds, Satan WILL NOT be able to do this as God will NOT allow it!] The Savior has warned His people against deception upon this point, and has clearly foretold the manner of His coming! .........
      Matthew 24:23-27  "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Note: Please know that in this chapter, Matthew 24, Christ warned about deceptions, as above, but also "Let no man deceive you"... in Verses: 4,26,23 and note vs.28,29.......
      Matthew 24:28-29  "For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"

NOTE: Upon His return, ALL those who rejected and or opposed Him shall perish, at His sight! The "EAGLES" above, should read 'vultures', as there shall be only Satan and his fallen angels left alive and they will not dirty their hands to bury anyone, and they shall be in total darkness, without any light from the heavens, including the Sun, so tempts will equal that of space -485 degrees F. This will last 1,000 years, on this very earth! Second change? No chance! Remember "Let no man deceive you by any means. learn God's Word for your self!" No, not even this man, check me out on all facts given against the Bible!   WHY?

       "Only those who have been diligent students of Scriptures, [ Isaiah 28:9-10 ] , and who have received the LOVE OF THE TRUTH, will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive to Satan. By the Bible testimony these will detect the deceivers in his disguise"

     Friend, are Y O U  so firmly grounded and established upon the Word of God, that Y O U would not yield to this , his delusion? If ever we needed to draw nearer and nearer to Christ, this IS the time. Let's study His Word: Let's emulate His life, let His power and His life shield us from these mighty delusions in these last days, is my prayer for Y O U !

NEXT: L. # 4. "Three 'Generals' Appointed for the Battle of Armageddon"

Thank Y O U for your time.

L.# 2. A GENUINE AND COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL.


     
       YOUR BIBLE, and mine, predicts a revival of genuine religion---due to the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit as was seen on the day of Pentecost. Thousands will be thoroughly converted to Christ in a day ....

      Revelation 18:1  "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory."

     Despite satanic efforts to cover the earth in darkness by means of revolution, or the war of Jihad, crimes satanic music, lust, greed, and self-pleasing,  and excitements, destruction of the earth, God is going to set this world ablaze with Glorious Light of His Saving Truth!
     At the very moment when the Popular churches are uniting [back into the "Mother Church" of Rome,} because of their spiritual weakness and the forming of a world-wide religious conglomerate that the Bible designates as "Babylon" [meaning confusion] . God's world-wide message announces that ....
     Revelation 18:2  "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
Note: If you've ever had a pet bird in a cage, you'll know the meaning of the ending of the above verse, when they need to "go", they go, even in water or food dish, right? Thus via their "Confusions" they have befouled their selves!
     Yet even where spiritual darkness and worldliness exists, in the churches that make up Babylon, the great body of Christ's true followers are still to be found in their communion.  WHY?
     Christ,. our Eternal Judge, judges our hearts, UP TO the amount of truth we each have received!
     Straight from the heart of the soul-winner Christ Jesus, comes this cry....
     Revelation 18:4  "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
     Thousands from these fallen Churches, will come forth, to accept Christ and His teaching, as written, and come back to the standard of righteous living.

                               THE COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL.

     Just BEFORE, this mighty Heaven led revival of primitive godliness breaks forth, a counterfeit revival will spread like wild-fire throughout Christendom. In this "spiritual awakening" will be much power seen. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will  {appear] be healed [Ah- La Benny Hinn]  and many undeniable  wonders shall be performed.
   Note: ever noticed the increasingly more and more Mary Images appearing all over earth? Or the stigmatic happenings, and all the wood and stone idols that bleed blood or purest of olive oil? That my friends is the works of Satan, deceiving powers at work!  Making it appear that God's Special blessings is poured out in these Churches!
     There will be manifest what is thought to be great religious interest. Millions will claim that God is working the "Baptism of the spirit", and are "speaking in Tongues", they claim when the works are that of of another spirit, that is not holy!
     Here's what the apostle John had to say about spirits.....
     1 John 4:1-2  "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"
    Again he wrote:...Revelation 16:13-14  "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

                               PENTECOSTALISM.
    
       A rapidly growing religious phenomenon among all major sections of Christendom is Pentecostalism. No longer confined to the small Pentecostal groups, the "Charismatic Movement" ,  in now also becoming widespread within the Catholic and many other, even conservative Churches! It can be identified by the practice of "Speaking in Tongues," or as most refer to this today, "Speaking and or Praying in the Spirit, but its still GLOSSOLALIA,[which is still gibberish, no matter how easily it rolls of the tongues of its practitioners like Kenneth Copeland, and the like! You see most people want to see something, feel something, and this stuff allows one to do both. Years ago they were derided as "Holy Rollers" due to some actually rolled around the floors,  thinking they were "IN THE SPIRIT"! ( they were, but not a Holy spirit!)
     
    So, how can we tell the genuine from the counterfeit? Let's not ever forget that "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" Romans 10:17.
     Faith rest NOT upon our feelings, nor by what we see others doing, however elevating and Spirit-filled that may be for us. Our salvation rest totally and fully, as well as ONLY upon Christ Jesus and our experience with His Spirit within us! It is our knowing what God has done of us, that faith begins and grows only by His powers and our own desire to learn more and more within His word! Yet no matter the experiences we have, even if they have taken us emotionally to the mountain tops, we still know that our experience cannot save us or recommend us to God.

     But this wave of Pentecostalism the EXPERIENCE becomes the all-absorbing point of this "religion".Faith then rests upon wonders and feelings, and the "Speaking in Tongues', things that the worshipers can sensibly experience, known for "Seeing is Believing", is the cry! And why Catholic Mass is such a show of color and pageantry, and ritual, that Hollywood can take a lesson from it! [(jb) seeing that this town is Satan headquarters, they have taken note]

      But a true Christ man or woman, must live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. We must not decide nor judge by what we see or hears or feels.Jesus said:
     Matthew 24:24  "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

     We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:9 that the last day before Christ's return Satan will work....
    2 Thessalonians 2:9 " Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"     [(j.b.) the HIM is Christ Jesus here]
     
     We are told as well, that near the final days, of judgment many will come to Christ saying...
   
   Matthew 7:22-23  "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. "

     So what must humans do?
      Matthew 7:21  "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. "
     
    But what is The Father will?
     Ecclesiastes 12:13  "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
    
     John 16:7-13  "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

    In "Pentecostalism" you find an utter perversion of God's truth. It makes the baptism of the Spirit the end, and Christ only a means to that end. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit;....
       
      John 16:14-15  "He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

Next: Satan Impersonates Christ.
