The wrath of the Lamb

 Revelation 6:12-17...And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 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?

The prophetic content of the above verses found in the book of Revelation are not taking place now...but will take place in the future. The wrath of the Lamb takes place when Christ "physically" returns to Earth...a second time as promised. The wrath of the Lamb will only be ministered on Earth after the Rapture of the Church, and after the seven year Tribulation.

During the 7 year Tribulation 5 seals will be opened by God. All seals show a picture of the ministering of God's Wrath upon the face of the Earth during the Great Tribulation. This event makes no reference to now in the Church Age. The 6th seal points to the actual "Wrath of the Lamb".

Jesus was recognized as a gentle Lamb during His Earthly ministry. Jesus is foretold to be a Lamb of Wrath in His second coming.  Many Jewish people from the 12 Tribes of Israel that are scattered around the globe...who acknowledge Christ as the promised Messiah (at that time) will accept Christ and enter the 1000 year Kingdom on Earth. Gentiles who accept the Messiah-ship of Christ will likewise enter this same 1000 Kingdom.

Revelation 7:9-13...After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, beunto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Note the Tribulation Saints...or people robed in white that accepted Christ during the Great Tribulation. These saints escape the Wrath and Judgment of an angry Christ who returns a second time with vengance upon those who don't obey the Gospel.

2 Thessolonians 1:7-10...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

The white horse: When Christ comes back...the second time

 

Rev 19:11-16...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.

Heb 9:28...unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Tribulation on Earth will end.
All nations on Earth will gather together to battle against Israel at Armageddon.
Christ will physically step down on the Mount of Olives.
Christ will return with all of His (Raptured) saints from Heaven.
Christ will return to Earth in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who obey not the Gospel of God.
Christ will judge the sheep and goat nations.
Christ will physically sit upon His Throne in Jerusalem, as King.
Christ will establish and begin His Kingdom on Earth for 1000 years.
Satan will be bound.
The Saints will reign with Christ as Kings and Priests.
Kingdoms will spread around the Earth.

The Lamb of God will come the second time in Divine Judgment. To establish His Kingdom on Earth.

It is written. Read it!

Rev 11:15...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.

Rev 20:4...And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:

Matt 19:28...Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Rev 19:11-16...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. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

The seven Spirits which are before the throne of Christ

 

Revelation 1:4...Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

In the Hebrew, seven (Sheh'-bah) is from a root word meaning to be complete or full

The seven Spirits before the Throne of Christ referred to the complete and full work of the Holy Spirit that "reveals Christ to the human soul". Perhaps in Prophecy. Perhaps in power or perhaps in Divine Revelation. The Spirit of God revealed Christ to the Prophets in the Old Testament and to the Apostles of the New Testament. The seven Spirits simply referred to the "perfect work of the Spirit of God". 

Divine Revelation from the Spirit of God reveals Christ which is, which was, and which is to come. When John was exiled to the Isle of Patmos the Revelation of Christ was given to his heart and thinking by the complete and perfect work of the Spirit of God. John's understanding of his present situation with the seven Churches also prophetically illustrated a bigger picture concerning the Rapture of the Church and what followed.  The big picture is within the very Throneroom where Christ is exalted at that time. 

One must note "during and after the Rapture the Church" the Omnipresence of the Holy Spirit resides in Heaven with Christ and all the sainted men and women awaiting a return to Earth to establish the 1000 year reign. During the Rapture the Holy Spirit "steps aside" and the Anti-Christ steps in with wickedness on Earth. The Spirit of God will be in Heaven during that seven Year Tribulation on Earth.

While the Holy Spirit is in Heaven with Christ and the saints...prophecy begins to unfold on Earth without the Holy Spirit's Omnipresence during Satan's Kingdom and reign of the Anti-Christ. John's terminology of the seven Spirits before the throne of Christ gives us a glimpse of the magnitude of the Holy Spirit in Heaven during that predicted time of prophecy. Seven in the eyes of Jewish people always makes reference to perfect, perfected, or perfection in the Old Testament records.

The seven Churches in Revelation are miniature pictures of seven Church Ages

 

From the First Century Church to the Third Century you had deviation from the early Apostle’s doctrine of Grace. Ephesus, who left their first love. AD 100 Likewise men deviated from a consciousness to the Holy Spirit’s work and presence as taught in the Epistles. Water Baptism in all modes was rampant for centuries and still is today. The teachings of Sanctification through the Spirit dwindled as “dead works” prevailed. Regardless of the doctrines of men the Body of Christ still existed through these Ages. Smyrna… that Age ranged from 100-312

You had Roman Governments ruled by Caesars for 212 years, Jewish insurrections, and Political ties to the Religious world. On the Gentile side you had Philosophies and Pagan religious worship that crept in. Jewish Law and Gentile Philosophy mixed with Grace instead of Grace alone in the Body of Christ. Papal supremacy which began at Constantine ruled for centuries. The Church still existed through this Age. Pergamum means joined in marriage …that Age ranged from 312-590

You had the origin of Priestly worship called the “Nicolatians”. You had plain religion and a Jezebel spirit that seduced men into religion and politics rather the Grace of God through Christ alone. The Body of Christ still existed through this Age.

The Word of God was written and preserved in Latin. Priestly worship, Politics, and religion permitted crusades, wars, and dominance throughout Europe and that side of the earth for centuries. This continued through the Dark Ages as the Body of Christ still existed through that Age. Thyatira allowed Jezebel to seduce …That Age ranged from 590-1517

Then you had a Reformation where men began to protest the Roman Church and its religious teachings. There you had English translations of the Word of God. The Protestant reformation existed for years where the King James Version of the Bible in English was introduced. The Body of Christ still existed in this Church Age of Sardis …That Age ranged from 1517-1750

After the Reformation you had an Awakening that swept the world for three centuries. During this awakening God used mighty men of God to preach revival throughout Europe and continents all the way to the United States where revival likewise swept the U.S. with the power and presence of the Holy Ghost. That was the Azuza Street Revival that became a great testimony for Christ in the 1900’s. Philadelphia in John’s Revelation was the only perfect Church …That Age ranged from 1750-1925

The Seven Churches of John were actual Churches at that time however; those seven Churches also “revealed” the religious and political conditions that existed through the Ages until now. We are presently in the seventh Age, which is the Church of Laodicia. 1925-to present. Unfortunately this Church Age is neither hot nor cold it’s “lukewarm”. This lukewarm state is obvious for anyone who knows Christ to see; “Just look around”. This self-sufficient lukewarm religious condition in 2011 makes God sick enough to vomit.

• Rev 3:16-17…So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

The Revelation of Christ in chapters 1-3 deals with miniature pictures of conditions that took place in the Seven Church Ages. In Chapter Four of Revelation the Spirit of God took John up to Heaven, away from future catastrophic conditions and revealed to John what it will be like, hereafter. Hereafter what? …The closing of this Laodician Age where the entire body of Christ is caught up to meet with Christ in the air. The Hindering work of the Holy Spirit steps aside and the Wrath and Judgment seat from an Almighty God begins. Our present Church age is moving toward this closing where the Rapture of the Church will be a believer’s only escape from Christ’s future Wrath and Judgment where the Anti-Christ steps in. The closing of this Age is described in the following verse when John says, “After this”.

• Rev 4:1…After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

First words…after this (present conditions of the lukewarm Laodician Age).

Secondly…come up hither (dead in Christ and those alive being caught up in the Rapture).

Third…I will show you things hereafter (Hereafter what?)…The Rapture. What takes place on Earth after the Church is removed. Mercy is gone. The Omnipresence of the Holy Spirit as we know it in the Church …is gone. Then come’s the seals, vials, trumps, and the woes through the Wrath of the Lamb and the Judgment seat of Christ.

The Revelation of Christ in the Rapture shows how God is going to deliver His Church the Bride from a predicted devastation, Wrath, and Judgment. That deliverance is only a glimpse of God calling out His saints in the Rapture and taking them to refuge in Heaven before the Anti-Christ and works of Satan begin on the earth. Revelation thus describes Tribulation, Wrath, and Judgment on the Earth BUT!!! All this takes place “after” the Rapture of the Church.

 

The Pale Horse - a glimpse of John's Revelation

 

After the Rapture of the Church takes place the book of Revelation teaches about the Great Tribulation. Tribulation upon humanity occurs as God's Wrath prophetically ministered to fulfill prophecy about the return of Christ with the Raptured Church.

There are (7) seals mentioned in the book of Revelation. All seven seals pertain to how God ministers Wrath upon a polluted and corrupt earth. This picture of John's Revelation is God sanctifying the earth with fire similar to how the flood sanctified the earth and humanity in the Days of Noah.

Four horses are mentioned as symbols of how God's Wrath will purge and purify earth in preparation for the second coming of Christ. In previous Blogs I expounded on the White Horse and the Black Horse.

TheWhite Horse
TheBlack Horse

This Blog is focused on the Pale Horse.

Revelation 6:7...And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Angels of God will minister God's Wrath in the form of death and chaos upon the earth. The death and chaos during the Great Tribulation the human mind cannot fathom, conceive, or comprehend.  Death mentioned in this event will include death upon one forth or 25% of the entire human population on earth. Un-comprehensible death applies to those who reject Christ- and consists the godless and morally insane influenced by the Ant-Christ. Satan and His cohorts will have free reign during this seven year time frame. The power of the Anti-Christ under Satan's dominion will have a dominating and enticing effect upon this vulnerable part of earth's population. Hell applies to all the unsaved generation that are taken out by means of military inertia, starvation, poverty, hatred, revolution, and chaos within the masses of humanity. Sin and immorality that is rampant will produce the core of rejection and delusion in the minds of those who try to survive during this time without Christ. Many will accept the mark of the Beast just to escape the torments of the Great Tribulation.

The Pale Horse is just a small glimpse of the ministration of God's Wrath spoken of in John's Revelation. Wrath will send strong delusion upon humanity.

2 Thessalonians 2:11,12...And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Red Horse – the second seal - God taking Peace from the Earth

 

Revelation 6:3…And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

The Second Seal which reveals the Red Horse and the great sword symbolizes a bloody war. Horses and horsemen always represent going to battle in the Bible. Each Horse of various color as taught in John’s Revelation showed significant meaning applicable to the Great Tribulation - which is a Jewish Tribulation. The Red Horse - taking peace from the earth is a symbolic picture of war, battle, and devastation upon the Earth. International Revolution takes place. One World Government forms. The rising of the Beast Kingdom (A Gentile aggression against Israel) shows an object within God’s Seals. All pointing to the famous Biblical Battle of Armageddon.

During this Tribulation period of seven years - broken into two… 3 1/2 year time frames, you will notice the Seals, the Trumpets, and the Woes ministered upon the Earth and humanity around the globe, by God Almighty.

• The seals pertain to the Wrath of God placed upon humanity as a result of missing the Rapture of the Church. Mercy and love as we know it in the Church today - is gone.
• The trumpets pertain to the Judgment of God that men face within the economical, the religious, the political, and the military structures that exist upon the Earth.
• The woes are the sufferings within humanity that become so dependent on darkness and the powers of darkness that men became delirious and overtaken by evil.

The Red Horse is one of the four horses mentioned in John’s Revelation: These horses include the Pale Horse, the White Horse, and the Black Horse that all point to God’s Wrath and Judgment upon a godless world after the Rapture of the Church.

Authors end Note: The Red Horse specifically deals with the one World government (The beast) that rules and dictates men around the globe. The Military inertia in the world is controlled by Satan after the Church is raptured. The target is Israel, God’s Elect. The whole World turns against Israel as God continues to gather His chosen from the four corners of the Earth. This Great Jewish Tribulation is a picture of God’s Wrath and Judgment. Tribulation is a Jewish Tribulation for seven years. It is a period of time for Israel’s reckoning according to the Prophets in Old Testament records. The Wrath and Judgment of an angry God takes place during this time. It is a way for God to reach the heart of Israel His chosen. The objective fulfills prophecy while God Almighty sets up His Kingdom prepared from the foundation of the World. During this time God sends “strong delusion” upon humanity due to Israel’s rejection of Christ.

The black horse - the balances - and commerce during the Great Tribulation

 

The setting of the Black Horse? Christ opening the seals. The Raptured Church has escaped the Great Tribulation. What are the seals? God's Judgment upon the earth. What is the Rapture? God's final Judgment for the Church to escape the promised wrath of an angry God. The Holy Spirit stepped out and the Anti-Christ - the man of sin stepped in. The seals according to the Revelation of Christ are the ministering of God's wrath upon the Earth and upon humanity. The Black horse; him who sat there-upon, and the balances in his hand... represent a corrupt and tainted world commerce that continuously gets worse and worse through the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 6:5,6...And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see . And I beheld , and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

A one world government has formed under Satan's Dominion and the Anti-Christ.  A regimented Gentile ruled kingdom has come together as the Beast spoken of in John's Revelation.  This one world government rules the military inertia around the globe. This one world government is a huge and magnified comparison to the Roman Empire during the days of Christ. This Beast will rule the political world, the financial world, the economical world, the business world, the religious world, etc. Global economy, commerce, and the business world will all be taken over and darkened under a one world dictator that hates God's elect, the Jew. Everything such as food, wealth, income, buying, selling, commerce, etc. will be under the dominion of the Beast Kingdom which is ruled by Satan and the Anti-Christ. Buying will be dictated by evil. Selling will be dictated by evil.  If man does not receive the "mark of the beast" he will not eat. Those who accept Christ will be beheaded.

Revelation 20: 4...and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ

Revelation 13:17... 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.

A false Gospel of the Kingdom on Earth will have been preached and established during this seven year Jewish Tribulation. This false Gospel will have informed people that the Kingdom had already come ...which in reality is a false proclamation that will mislead multitudes into rejecting the promised King and Kingdom of Christ. The Rapture of the Church has already taken place. Great Tribulation has started and continues to escalate immensely. The world at this time is without mercy, without compassion, without hope, and without God....under the dominion of the man of sin...the Anti-Christ

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 .

As wars, famine, and military inertia escalate around a globe of godless people.... tribulation like no tribulation in the history of humanity will occur. Bloodshed will pour into the streets and rivers. Water will become polluted from nuclear fallout. Limited food and limited money will cause revolt within society. The Beast Kingdom which is the whole Gentile world will turn against Israel (God's elect) during these years and all will gather together in force under Satan's dominion. This will initiate the battle of Armageddon. At this gathering at Armageddon Christ and all His saints (which are the Raptured Saints of God) will step foot on the Earth at the Mount of Olives. At this time Divine Judgment will take place as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him and His elect Israel during the Great Tribulation. Zechariah 14.

2 Thess. 1: 7-10...when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe

2 Timothy 4:1...I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

The end will be Judgment on Earth - in flaming fire. God will melt the elements with fervent heart. God will physically sanctify the Earth with fire as Christ takes vengeance upon those who rejected Him. The godless world will be judged and cast into everlasting punishment. Satan will thus be bound. The rest of humanity that believes in Christ will be sanctified and have hearts prepared to live with Christ for 1000 years. A resurrection will also occur here.

Revelation 20:4-6... And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image , neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Insight on the Book of Revelation...the Seals, the Trumpets, and the Woes

 

The setting of this Blog takes place, "After the Rapture of Church". God calls the Church , "Up". Chaos begins on Earth. No more mercy as we know it today in the body of Christ. The Hinderer of God's Wrath (The Holy Spirit) is pulled out and resides in Heaven. The love of God and the mercy of God have retreated to Heaven. Earth stands in evil and wickedness.

The dead in Christ and those alive in Christ are in Heaven with Christ and the Holy Spirit. Tribulation like no other Tribulation known in the history of humanity begins on Earth. Within this Tribulation God also uses Angels to minister His Wrath and Judgment upon humanity. Even the Devil (allowed of God for a season) attempts to build his Kingdom on Earth. Havoc and chaos has permeated humanity. Within the Devil's Kingdom on Earth, the Antichrist sits upon his throne and rules the Beast Kingdom, rules the governments of our world, rules the world economy, and rules the world's religious society. Within this one world dictatorship the whole Gentile world turns against the nation of Israel who gathers together in unity to make war against Israel at Armageddon.

During this period of seven years that's broken into two... 3 1/2 year time periods, you will notice the Seals, the Trumpets, and the Woes that are ministered upon the Earth and humanity around the globe, by God Almighty. The seals pertain to the Wrath of God placed upon humanity as a result of missing the Rapture of the Church. Mercy and love as we know it in the church is gone. The Trumpets pertain to the Judgment of God that men face within the economical, the religious, the political, and the military structures that exist upon the Earth. The woes are the sufferings within humanity that become so dependent on darkness and the powers of darkness that men became delirious and overtaken by evil. The one World government (The beast) rules and dictates men around the globe. The Military inertia in the world is controlled by Satan. The target is Israel, God's Elect. The whole World comes against Israel as God continues to gather His chosen from the four corners of the Earth. This Tribulation Revelation describes? Is a Jewish Tribulation for seven years. It is a period of time for Israel's reckoning according to the Prophets. The Wrath and the Judgment of an angry God during this time is a way for God to reach the heart of Israel to set up His Kingdom prepared from the foundation of the World. The "delusion" God sends upon humanity is part of Israel's rejection of Christ between the death of Christ and the Rapture of the Church.

The locusts are a Biblical picture of the military inertia upon the Earth. The military at this time is under the rule of Satan who desires to capture humanity and take over because the Church has gone to Heaven. The hinderer of Satan (The Holy Spirit) is gone to Heaven. The mercy and love of God as we know it in the Church is gone to Heaven. Evil men wax worse and unify in evil under Satan's dominion. God's wrath is loosed and Judgment from God Almighty is allowing these locusts type(military forces) to overtake those men who did not have the seal of God in their hearts and thinking. This overtaking of humanity who received not the love of truth allowed God to create strong delusion in these multitudes...like the sting of scorpion. Think about the actual sting of a scorpion. This sting of a natural scorpion makes men delirious, tainted, and out of their minds in pain and torment. Without hope. Tormented during the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 9:2-11...And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Within this seven year Jewish Tribulation setting predicted by the Apostle John and the Prophet Daniel...men will be put to death for the cause of Christ. Only few will not accept the mark of the beast that is given under Satan's dominion. Some who overcame him with the word of their testimony will be beheaded and some will live and be living when Christ steps down on the Mount of Olives.

When Christ steps down... the planet Earth will have been sanctified with fire and the elements will have melted with fervent heat. When Christ comes back a second time he will come for Israel. The Church (all the saints) will be with Christa at His second coming. All of Israel will accept Christ at this time. Christ in Divine Judgment will separate the goats and the sheep. The Kingdom of Heaven will begin in Jerusalem. Christ will begin His Earthly reign on the Throne of His Father David. The redeemed Saints (Tribulation Saints) will worship Him for eternity as the Messiah. The Raptured Saints will reign with Him as Kings and priests. This writer will be there. Glory! He's coming and I'm ready for His return.

Are you?

Just remember. When Christ comes back a second time for Israel (with the Raptured Church) ...There will be no more Seals (God's Wrath). There will be no more Trumpets (God's ministering of Judgment). There will be no more Woes (Human agony and torment within society).

I'm ready! Are you? Make sure your heart is prepared. Today is the day to get prepared and to get right.

Gentile aggression against Israel

 

In all your studies of the Bible, have you ever wondered what the Abomination of desolation really was? I admit I've been hammering the message of the Kingdom of Heaven to Israel, quite hard at this Blog site. The reason for this is because in the modern religious world, Bible truth is so mixed up. When the history, culture, religion, and prophecy in Israel is brought to light many of the Holy Scriptures begin to unfold in light of a Gentile World that knows very little about the nation of Israel. What is revealed? God's Word concerning Christ the promised Messiah and Christ's promised Kingdom to come.

This ongoing study is intended to bring light to the mystical "Abomination of Desolation" which Daniel the Prophet and Jesus both spoke of. Both, made reference to the Gentile aggression against Israel through the pages of history. Both made reference to the Kingdom of Heaven promised to Israel. Both taught about opposition from the Gentile world against the nation of Israel.

Gentile aggression against Israel occurs during the Great Tribulation: Type of Babylonian Captivity

I'd like to point out a reference to the Kingdom of Heaven that may confuse some individuals. It's found in Matthew 24:14 and states the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world.

Matt 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.

Jesus is referring to a false proclamation made by the Jewish people at that hour toward the Gentile world. That context is proven in the next few verses.

Matt 24:15... When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)

Verse 15 describes the abomination of desolation*.

*The Abomination of Desolation was a Gentile aggression against Israel during the great Tribulation which is a type similar to the Babylonian aggression during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes a Syrian king spoken of in Daniel 9:27. Epiphanes' hatred toward the Jew outlawed the Jewish Sabbath, the Torah, circumcision, temple worship, etc. He also erected a statue in the likeness of himself and sacrificed a pig on the alter.

Matt 24:16...Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Notice how vs. 16 speaks of them which be in Judea? It is crucial these scriptures are not spiritualized and taken from their actual meaning. To take verses like these its imperative to apply them to Israel to whom Christ was speaking...and not apply them to the Church. By doing this you are rightly dividing God's Word. Only another reason why I am publishing this great scriptural truth to a group of people who study God's Word!

Did you ever wonder why God allowed Israel to go into the Babylonian captivity: Violation of the Law of Moses?

By studying the Law of Moses, we find that every six years, Jewish farmers were to allow the land to rest for one full year. Likewise, they could do no sowing in their fields on the seventh day or weekly Sabbath.

Ex 23:10-11...And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still;

Lev 25:3-4...Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

Unfortunately, Judah violated this law for 490 years. Because of this violation, God took the land away from them for exactly 70 years during the Babylonian captivity!.

2 Chron 36:21...To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

All this said to say this one thing...It's so important to rightly divide God's Word! It's so important to know what is to be applied to Israel and what is to be applied to the Church. Knowledge about Israel is so very important when understanding God's Word...especially things pertaining to God's Promised Kingdom that will come in the future. Don't mix up the Bible! Learn about Israel. Learn about the Church now, under Grace. Apply to the Jew what God intended. Apply to the Church what God intended. I love you all at Christian Blessings! To Christ be the Glory!

Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the Great Image

 

The book of Daniel points out how Israel preserved its Messianic lineage during Gentile captivities through the pages of history. In Daniel Chapter 2 Christ is described as the stone that smote the image and broke them into pieces. This prophecy directly relates to Divine Judgment and shows how Christ will subdue all nations, before He establishes His earthly Kingdom in Israel.

• Dan 2:34… Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces

• Dan 2:31-34…Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image*, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them:

*The Great Image in Daniel 2 is the Beast Kingdom; a Gentile one-world government that opposes Israel during the Great Tribulation, The beast is also mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

• Dan 7:3…And four great beasts** came up from the sea, diverse one from another

**The four Beasts had reference to Gentile empires…Babylonian, Grecian, Medo-Persian, and Roman that took the nation of Israel into captivity at different periods of time until Christ came.

After Christ defeats the great image* that opposes Israel, He will then set up His earthly Kingdom. This is where the promised Messiah visibly rules from His throne in Jerusalem.

* Beast Kingdom… is a Gentile one world government that opposes Israel and brings in the Battle of Armageddon during the Great tribulation.

• Dan 2:35…and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

• Dan 2:44…And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

• Dan 7:27… And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Christ is coming back to set up this visible Kingdom. The Raptured saints will also reign with Him. The present Kingdom of God is invisible, but the future Kingdom of Heaven will be visible. There are more prophecies in the Bible that deal with the Kingdom of Heaven than the Kingdom of God. In fact, there are more prophecies that deal with Christ ruling earth than His death, burial and resurrection. Understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven is what this writing is trying to convey. This is exactly what the ministry of Christ was all about.
