Day 90 Bible Food Complete

Well done men and women, well done brothers and sisters, well done friends. We have eaten the bible totally in 90 days! Have you ever done this before in this amount of time and with this amount of understanding? Reading the bible straight through as a story book is not how the bible was designed to be read. While it is still possible; the best way to read the bible is given in Isaiah chapter 28; line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. The reason is because the Lord has hid things so that they are searched out.

When you read the bible from front to back as we just have, you can pick up the overall theme. Prior to doing this, as a child I use to believe that the Old Testament was separate from Jesus (based on of course not reading). I use to think that Jesus came out of no where and founded Christianity and that made the Jews upset. He did not come of our no where as we've found. The bible actually begins with Moses.

Moses did the Lord's will and the Lord invited him up to the Mount to receive commandments to give the nation and gave Moses a whole lot of things as well. He gave Moses the creation story; and how everything has gone up until Moses generation and even gave Moses how it will go past Moses generation. Is Moses the only one the Lord did this with? In that fashion, yes! But I would not be as brazen to say only Moses received this.

We must keep in mind that the Lord is a fair God. Do you believe He disinherited Cain without telling him he isn't to kill, steal, lie, and other commandments that permitted to them at that time? Do you think Cain's children knew the commandments? I'm sure they did. That is why the punishment was harsh. My point in this is that, when Israel the nation was commanded to take the land of Canaan, do you think God just decided go knock down these people, as if He were tired of looking at them? No!

God had been teaching them what is right and what is wrong. That is why the Pharaoh's were harshly upset at Abraham for saying that Sarah was his sister because then they would have committed adultery had they slept with her being she is already married. The Pharaoh was concerned about how much trouble would have come on him and his land for such an action.

Hammurabi's codes appear as documents that Moses copied word for word. Do you believe Hammurabi was a genius and came up with these by himself? As Jesus said they error in not knowing the scriptures nor the POWER of God; Abraham came back and was met by Melchizedek, who was priest of the Most High God. Do you think Melchizedek came by on other occasions and taught the descendants of Ham in the laws of God? Is that a possibility.

I presume, and this is just me, that He spoke to trusted and wise men in that day and gave them much knowledge. It may not have been Jesus (Melchizedek) Himself all the time, as Peter said be careful at times you are speaking with an angel that appears as a man and you'll never know it. The Canaanites were taught the ways of God. Hammurabi and wise men like him took heed; they probably read books by their progenitors like Enoch and had much wisdom so it can appear that Moses stole everything from Egypt (although Psalms said that Joseph taught the Egyptian senators wisdom).

Why am I going through all of this to show that God did not tell Israel to sack the seven nations of Canaan in vain. They sinned and had to be removed from the land and it just so happens that the Lord promised Abraham's descendants by way of Isaac, by way of Jacob, the land of Canaan. Then the bible begins to narrowly focus on the children of Israel. They sinned and were broken up as a nation into two houses, Samaria and Judah. They sinned more, and Samaria was taken out by Assyria and flooded into the land of Ham and Asia. I would not be surprised today if you find large groups of Israelites floating aimlessly loss on the continent of Africa and Asia. If you follow the world news quite a bit you would have heard of tribes of people like the Ethiopian Jews, Nigerian Jews, and even groups of people saying they are Israelites from Fuji, Philippines, and India all claiming with authenticity that they are lost children of Israel.

Judah was taken out after that and became slaves and captive to the Gentiles. To find them it is quite easy beside the physical differences, but all you would have to do is go into any Gentile (European) nation and look for the lowest people on the economic scale. The people most unjustly treated, the people who are the majority in the prisons even though they are the minority in population. All these are good signs because we read that the children of Israel were cursed and Daniel's 70 weeks shared and Jesus as well said the curse will continue until He returns.

After Judah and Samaria were thrown out the land for their sins; the Lord put punishments on all the surrounding nations who aided in their removal. These are primarily children of Ishmael and Edom who were chief among removing the children of Israel and are the chief quarrelers over the land of Israel today.

When Judah returned for the first coming of the Messiah, they thought it was at that time Israel would be restored; as we read them shouting Hosanna to the Highest; but quickly found out that it was not the time. Jesus the Messiah had to die first for the people then restore them. Jesus told them they would be again removed from the land and 30 or more years after His death and resurrection they were indeed surrounded by the Romans, the General Titus killed so many Jews that some history books reported up to 500 people a day were being crucified.

The rest were taken as slaves and distributed among the Gentile nations. From that period we have not heard much from the Jews or Israelites. They are lowly riding among other nations; some rise to high positions as Daniel did in his day; but never as a collective group, no, not until they collectively acknowledge their God and repent of their sins. John and many apostle's end the bible for us testifying even with their lives on the line that all in the scriptures are true, and also they were eye witnesses to the works and saying of Jesus Christ. They also prophesied of the future for us so that we know what's going on. If someone were ask you when and how Jesus will return you can tell them as it is common knowledge as the Pharisees told Herod of the birth of Christ because you can simply read it in this marvelous book we've read over the last 90 days!

Just as we can look into the sky and see a storm coming, we should be able to look at our days and generation and tell the Lord is coming or the Lord is not coming yet.

So I have found that the bible is a book for the world, it is a book for everyone because God is the God of all people; however, it focuses on one people and what God's recovery plan for one people will save the entire world. The bible is about Jesus, the Jews or Israelites, and Jerusalem (even New Jerusalem). It is about Jesus and His recovery mission for all humanity, it is about keeping the commandments of God and having the true testimony of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for journeying with me; there is a comment section in the blog, please leave comments or questions. Also, you'll notice I really did not leave detailed scriptures on the book of Genesis. This was purposely done because my friend has a FANTASTIC book coming soon called Genesis Exposed! This will be an Amazing book detailing the book of Genesis line upon line. The principles of anything are in the foundation and thus if we do not have a good grasp of the book of Genesis, the rest of the bible can be or become fuzzy to us. This book will expose it all, where ministers go wrong, where people are confused, and it will be a great exceptional and of course informative read! Keep an eye out for it as you will not want to be without it. It should be coming soon no later than October but hopefully before hand. Thank you and good bye.

Day 89 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days


Good morning; today we should finish the bible and leave the last day to reflect on this great task and journey. It is really exciting and liberating as well as educationally edifying to do this because we learn something new each day we read, even when you redo this bible reading you'll find new things you didn't see previously. So let us finish today's reading.

Revelation 19

Now the Lord has taken down the great whore, the beast or Babylon the great and the heavens are rejoicing now and are praising God. The marriage of the Lamb has finally come, the whore pretending to be married to Jesus has been removed and the real wife, Israel, has cleaned herself up in fine white linen. Blessed are all who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. John bowed down after seeing all this to worship the angel speaking to him; but was told to get up because the angel is a fellowservant and is a brother that has the testimony Jesus and told John to worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Holy Spirit or Comforter is not to be worship and does not go into the trinity God head.
The Final Battle with Jesus
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
John saw heaven open with Jesus sitting on a white horse judging and making war. Jesus had eyes of fire and wore many crowns, not just one like the false prophet attempted to emulate. His clothing looked like they were dipped in blood, remember in Isaiah 63 when He said He treaded His enemies like a wine press. Here it is again.
His name is the Word of God; in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word was with God. There it is. Jesus had armies with Him; at this point He has all the angels and the resurrected saints who met Him in the air as Paul spoke in Thessalonioans. When one is coming with armies; it is going to be a get down and lay down scenario and no more conversations at this point..
20And 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 worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
An angel then told all the wild beast of the earth to come to this battle so they can supper, a great supper of the great God where they will eat on kings, and captains, and mighty men, and men. Vultures will be able to swim in blood in this supper. The kings of the earth are going to initially be warring with each other getting closer and closer to pulling the nuclear bomb trigger, when all of the sudden the Lord will show up and intervene. This will cause the nations to temporarily settle their differences and fight against the Lord. It's a horrible move to fight against immortals. Obviously the armies do not believe that the Lord and His armies are immortal. The Lord will summon the beast, the military leader of the western Gentile nations and the false prophet (the abomination that causes desolations), and put them into the lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone into the lake of fire prior to judgement day. Everyone else will be killed by the Lord Jesus and their dead bodies will be fed to the beast of the earth.

Revelation 20

4And 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.
After the head of the Gentile beast and the false prophet are put away into a lake of fire created for their boss, Satan, then Satan is locked away in a bottomless pit for one day, a thousand years. He is put away to stop deceiving the nations during this Sabbath day of peace, the thousand year millennium period, Satan will be locked out until the end to try some who have never been tempted; because all need to be tempted.
Then John saw thrones (plural), and the people sitting on these thrones were given judgment. We see the rigorous process Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is going through to be the top judge in America. By keeping the commandments we are going that process as we go through life and will be given a seat of judgment and reign with Jesus Christ for the entire Sabbath day (thousand years). Those who are judging have made the first resurrection.
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
If you did not make the first resurrection then you will remain asleep (dead) until after the thousand years are complete. It says you are blessed if you make the first resurrection because the second death has no power over you and you will be kings and priest and will reign with Jesus a thousand years (v5-6).
After the thousands years are expired, Satan will be release to do what he does best, deceive, and even after a thousand years with Jesus on the earth teaching the truth, Satan will still be able to deceive and influence billions of people to come up against Jerusalem to war. The only thing is they will not succeed.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Finally the devil is thrown into the lake of fire where the head of the Gentile military or political party is and where the false prophet have been for the last 1000 years being tormented. It is taught that when one goes into the lake of fire they are simply burned up. Burning a dead body cannot be torment. You have to be alive to be tormented. After this there is the great white throne judgment we read about in Daniels and the Lord spoke of in many parables in the New Testament gospels, all will stand before the Lord and other judges and be judged out of the bible to see if their names are written in the book of life. I see people fall and crumble when the judge says not guilty in a court of law for a murder charge or robbery; or they cry in fear and anger when they are found guilty. When people are being judged on shows like American Idol; the contestants cry bitterly or get angry. Can you imagine how it will be when you are being judged on your life and how you lived it according the bible we've just read over the past 89 days. We all have major cleaning up to do; and I may be the one at the top of the list for need of cleaning up. Every man will be judged according to their works.
Why your works when Paul all along said faith in Jesus Christ? Because your faith will show your works. An exercise will show how this works. Get a glass of water and set it on the table and pray to the Lord to bring the water to your lips to drink. Watch how long this takes to complete. Beg the water to come to your lips, positive think the water to your lips, demand the water to your lips, claim the water to your lips. Have you kept track of the time? Now pick the cut of water up and drink it.
It takes works the glass and the water has been provided by the Lord all you have to do is drink it. Your works will always show what you believe or have faith in. If you believe and have faith that you will be ticketed or arrested for driving without a license, then you will not drive a car.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Death and hellish situations were also thrown in the lake of fire and John let's us know this is the second death, this is the death you under no circumstances want to have to go into because there is no coming out of it for the simple fact that the Lord has spoken that it is forever. He cannot lie.

Revelation Chapter 21

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Every one has been judged those to eternal shame are in their place and those in the Lord's kingdom in their place and here comes the new heaven and earth. One with no waters, it was coming down out from heaven; and one announced that the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them. The Lord will wipe all tears away because there will be no more dying, sorrow, crying, pain, and all the things we have put ourselves through by disobeying the Lord.
If we over come we will inherit all things but look who won't inherit anything but death itself:
8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Now the Lord's bride is seen coming down out of heaven from God, clear as crystal with twelve gates with twelve angels standing at each gate and the twelve tribes of the children of Israel names on the gate. You may be surprised that Peter is not sitting in front of a two door gate, since he had the keys to the kingdom. You have to become Israel to go through these gates. That does not mean we become physically changed to become Jews, we have to adopt the ways of the children of Israel who keep the covenant of the Lord. In other words, we have to become spiritually Israelites to become children of God.
During that thousand years of peace, the Lord will be adopting nations as He adopted Jacob. When He adopted Jacob He gave him His name, Israel. Thus the entire earth will wear the name Israel, which is the Lord's name.
13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
There was no temple in the city; only the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb were the temple. We still only have God the Father and God the Son, Paul perhaps didn't greet the Holy Ghost as God because the Holy Ghost is a ministering spirit. So this is certainly the Father's kingdom because Christ kingdom had a temple in it. All Spirit beings shine so the city had no need for the sun or moon. A key point in verse 24 to remember is that nations and kings still exist even in the Father's kingdom. You'll still have Germany; but they will be a righteous and immortal Germany because nothing that defiles or works abominable things will come into the city.

Revelation 22

1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
11He 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.
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14Blessed 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.
15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Amen and AMEN
We have finished the bible from front to back. All stories have happy endings, even the trues story of them all that we live called life. We have the choice to make it a very happy ending for ourselves. We will reflect tomorrow on all we have learned and read.

Day 88 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days


Good morning and praise the Lord for another day. We are going to continue in this excellent journey and eat this good food; the bible food that the Lord has prepared for us so we can join Him on the great feast on that great day.

We ended with the six trumpet being sounded and that took place during the seventh seal. Then John was giving the bible to read and it was sweet to get insight on this new understanding; but it was bitter to learn what is going on and what will happen. As Solomon said with much knowledge there is much grief.

Revelation 11

1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

John then sees a measuring rod and an angel orders him to rise up and measure the temple of God and the altar particulars but do not measure the courtyard that is out side the temple. Don't measure the courtyard because that will be given to the Gentiles because Jerusalem will be in their possession for 42 months, which is equal to three and a half years. During the great tribulation, a Gentile organization will inhabit Jerusalem, they will inhabit the temple and completely rule Jerusalem for 42 months.

If you recollect back to Ezekiel, he was showed a temple; but that temple was for Jesus when He returns. This temple is not. This temple is for the anti-Christ, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the abomination that causes desolation. Muslims have the temple space occupied now with the Dome of the Rock. However, over some years the EU, United Nations, or United States will broker a deal that will allow the Jewish people to have access to the courtyard to build the temple that people will think is for God; but it is not; it is for the man of sin.

The Lord will set up two witnesses that will prophesy during those three and half years, clothed in sackcloth. In Zechariah chapter 4 I believe we got a glimpse of these two olive trees. No body will be able to hurt these two witnesses of God who are here to balance the lies and deception the man of sin is going to promote. God will give His two witnesses power that men of old had, to shut heaven down with no rain, hit the earth with plagues like Moses and Aaron did. And when these witnesses are done after 3.5 years, the Gentiles will kill them (v3-7).

13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Once the two witnesses are killed; no one in Jerusalem will even go pick up and bury their dead bodies, and we know it's in Jerusalem because it says in verse eight, they lie in the street of a great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where the Lord was crucified. The Lord was crucified in Jerusalem.

This will be on CNN and all kinds of news stations because all nations will see their dead bodies and for 3.5 days not one person will attempt to bury them. They will just leave their bodies in the street and celebrate their death, sending gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented them greatly. How? Probably by pointing out all their sins against the Lord by reading them in the bible, also they were given power so perhaps they were moved to use it against people and shut up rain for a few months.

However, after the 3.5 days life reenters them and they stand on their feet and all that see this of course get scared as you can possibly be; and the two men heard a great voice from heaven saying come up here and they went up into heaven in a cloud and all their enemies watched in horror. These two witnesses were not singlely called to heaven; but this is collectively the first resurrection and a large group of people who have ever died righteously in Christ are being called up to meet the Lord in the air as Paul wrote. This is after the great tribulation!

We also had a great earthquake hit at that moment and many people who had been listening to the words of these two witnesses and when they saw all of this in Jerusalem, they gave glory to the God of Heaven. 14The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

The seventh trumpet sounds and there is a transfer of power and kingdoms, from man back to God. Here comes the Lord; and here is the Lord!

Revelation 12

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Something strange appeared in heaven where a women whose clothing was the sun, the moon was under her feet, and she wore a crown of twelve stars was giving birth to a child and she was in great pain of course. Then something else strange appeared in heaven, a great red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his seven heads, brought a third of the stars of heaven down to the earth with him. This dragon stood at the hospital room waiting for the woman to having this child so he can kill it as soon as He was born.

These are not in sequential order but they are separate events that have taken place. First the woman, who is she? She is not Eve; if you reread Genesis 37 you'll remember a dream that Joseph had how the sun and moon and eleven stars came to worship him. Joseph's dad, Jacob, replied that should he, the sun, Joseph's mother, the moon, and his eleven brothers, the stars (Joseph being the 12th) indeed come and worship Joseph? This gives us the understanding that the woman was the nation of Israel, she was the church.

Who is the red dragon? We probably can guess who; but let's just go back into our archives and really understand this. He had seven heads; Babylon (1), Medo-Persia (2), Greece (because it was divided into 4 after the death of Alexander the great it had four heads (4)), and Rome (5). One to one equals two, two plus four, equals six, and six plus one equals seven. We have our seven heads. Then horns; I won't list who these are here; but I'll say that they are 10 men and organizations that attempted to unit the Roman Empire down throughout the ages, even to our day. We had three that were plucked up by the roots then six who have attempted to resurrect Rome, the last being Benito Mussolini, and we have one after him who will succeed at it. Those are our 10 horns.

Who was thrown out of heaven? Satan, and he was able to persuade/convince a third of evil angels that are innumerable to come down to earth with him. There is no wonder that evil is on our minds continually; we have evil spirits saying, "check this out, get naked, dance, shake your booty, kill that person, you are the man, don't settle for less, rule, win, it's all about you, who cares he's hungry it's the survival of the fittest, let him die nurse, he's no good to society, lock him up, do anything but read the bible of the word of God."

So while on the earth this dragon, Satan, stood before the woman during the Roman rule disguised as Herod who attempted to kill the baby Jesus, he attempted to kill Him spiritually by tempting Him in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights but could not.

9And 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.

Jesus was a Jew a man of Judah, so He came out of the woman who was the nation of Israel, and He was to rule all nations with great authority, authority that is called a rod of iron. The woman went to the wilderness for three and half years (1,260 days), where God prepared a place for her to dwell safely while the great tribulation is going on. This is where you want to go and not to sit on your roof waiting for the rapture. James said faith and works is good; faith by itself is dead. So the Lord tells us where to go; it's our works to get there.

There verse flip back and forth speaking of different events, one past and the other future because Michael the great angel in heaven warred against the dragon and his third of angels and threw them out. We have confirmed that the dragon, also known as, the old serpent (that was in the garden of Eden), the Devil, and Satan, was Satan with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowds, dressed up in the Gentile dynasty.

12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The angels in heaven were happy when Satan was thrown out because he caused them so much trouble; but the trouble has come to the earth now. And the devil knows he only has six days to work, a short time to deceive as many as he can to join him in the lake of fire. Satan never liked the idea of worshiping God's image, man, so he disobeyed and was thrown out of heaven. So if he was thrown out because of man, do you think he likes us? No; so he has made it we worship images and not the most High God and he has been at enmity with the woman since she was created.

17And 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.

When the great tribulation will begin, the church is to flee to the wilderness and the Lord will provide the transportation as He did in the days of the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt, and the church will be in the wilderness for three and half years away from the devil. The devil will chase her all the way there; but once you make it there you are safe. Since the dragon could not catch the woman, he went to war with her seed, these are people who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, but they did not understand prophecy. They did not believe the wilderness location and fleeing. They could not leave their earthly possessions, they'd seen too many preachers or cult leaders mislead their congregation to dead ends, they either didn't know about it or were not sure about it and did not get there.

They will be harshly pursued by Satan and his Gentile army for the next three and half years because he only has one hour left to deceive, deceive, deceive!

Revelation chapter 13

1And 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.

2And 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.

John comes again with more revelations and he saw a beast rise out of the sea and it had 7 heads and 10 horns with 10 crowns with blasphemy against God written all in his heads. The beast was a combination of the animals that Daniel wrote about, the Gentile nations, leopard (Greece), bear (Medo), lion (Babylon), and the beast (Rome). These are Gentile nations; but they get their great power from dragon. This is where his seat is, where the Nicolatines preside.

9If any man have an ear, let him hear.

People worship Satan by worshiping this Gentile organization. Be unawares, worship Satan because they have not read this book or have not read it with understanding so they usually get all of Satan's doctrine dressed up in the name of Jesus. This organization fights against the saints for 42 months (3.5 years), as they speak against God blasphemies and if your name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb, you are going to worship Satan by way of worshiping the beast. If you can see this, you better understand it.

If you're not in the wilderness, anything goes for you: 10He 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. You can be held captive, you can be tortured, you can be killed, but knowing this ahead of time is your patience and faith. You can withstand it because it will be over and you will be with the Lord.

11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Now along with the first beast, which is a political ruler, another beast comes out that will be a spiritual ruler. It looked as peaceful as a lamb, but when it talked, it spoke like a dragon. It supports the first beast and to get you to really believe they are from God; they will do miracles and wonders like make fire come down from heaven on the earth right in front of your eyes. Wow right?!

This must be God right; who can do that right? He will have a statue image made of earth and stone and make it speak and give it life. We have life, we can walk and talk because we are animated objects. When you see a pile of earth and stones begin talking and moving about, that will certainly get you believing in this beast as God. But remember, an evil generation seeks a sign from God, but only one sign was given; everything else is to be read and proven.

If you do not worship this beast, you will be killed. As in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, if you didn't bow down to his statue, you'd be killed, the Gentile dynasty ending as it began, idol worship.

18Here 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.

This organization also will cause everyone to receive a mark either in their right hands or their foreheads. Now that you've read this, when a certain time of the year comes around (usually after Mardi Gras and before Easter) and people are prepping you for this mark, you have the knowledge now to back away from the table and as the rapper said, "set your cup down." Ask them to put what they put on you (if you've participated in this before) to put it on your left hand and behind your neck. See what happens.

During the great tribulation however, if you do not accept this mark; you will not be able to buy things, your business licenses will be vain because you cannot sell anything unless you have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. It's the number of a man; you can look him up on your own.

Revelation 14

1And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. We will find out who these are as we continue reading.

3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

The 144,000 sung a new song before the Lord and these 144,000 were redeemed from the earth, they were resurrected. They were not defiled with women as they were virgins. They follow Jesus wherever He goes; they are the first fruits to God and to Christ. Some people say these are actual men of God who were virgins, some say they were the male babies that were killed during the times of Moses and Jesus birth, while some say these are the top group of servants of God that have never mingled with other gods, but have solely worshiped the God of Israel, thus are virgins in the word of God. All of these can be true; I have a small problem with the first one because God said to be fruitful and multiply, so by people like me who are by no means a virgin, I think I've been slighted because it could have been written that if you are a virgin you will be redeemed by the Lord and go with Him wherever He goes. Regardless, I did not create the world, so even it is like that, I accept it.

Results & Consequences for Taking the Mark of the Best:

If you do it ignorantly or willingly; the results are the same.

8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Not Babylon as in modern day Iraq, or Nebuchadnezzar; but Babylon the great, the entire Gentile dynasty from Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon to the fall of the anti-Christ and his minions.

9And 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,

10The 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:

11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

You will be thrown into the lake of fire forever if you take this mark, especially during the great tribulation; so you may be able to buy and sell and live good; but it will be only for 3.5 years then the Lord will return and punish you. You must ask yourself; is it worth it to die forever?

12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. We're still keeping the commandments here in Revelations.

13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

It is good to die in the Lord, their rest from their works and their good works will follow them. Dead, especially at this time of the creation, coming and inching closer and closer to great evil is a blessing. It a good thing if you die in Christ, and avoid having to go through the day of evil; it is a blessing.

20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Lastly in the chapter, John saw a white cloud with what he figured was Jesus sitting on the cloud and an angel came out urging the Lord to thrust His sickle into the earth because it was ripe. This is showing the eagerness of the angels for God to recompense man on the earth for their sins; and at the last war, the Lord and the angels will thrust their sickles and reap the earth, the blood will pour out of men like wine; up to the horses bridles, and for a long as six football stadiums.

Revelation 15

1And 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.

After the 7th trumpet, the Lord has seven last plagues to give the earth, with central concentration on Jerusalem.

7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

8And 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.

Now the four beast handed the seven angels seven golden vials full of wrath from the Lord and the temple was filled with smoke because of the Lord and His power and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues were done. This has to take place on earth because it said no man was able to enter the temple. No man is in heaven, and no man lives in the clouds. This is taking place after the big war, after the time in the wilderness and as the Lord is back in Jerusalem in the Temple.

Revelation 16

1And 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 angels went there way and began pouring their buckets of wrath. The first resulted in men who had the mark of the beast were given noisome and grievous sore on them, the second poisoned the sea, the third turned the waters of rivers to blood; and the angels said the Lord is justified for doing what He is doing because He warned everyone about this because we're reading it now. Plus, these people killed saints, prophets, and now they are drinking their own blood.

The fourth angel poured and the sun became even more blazing hot, heating up the earth and man so much that men blasphemed the name of God in their frustration and did not repent. The fifth darkened the kingdom and were in much pain of it; the sixth dried up the Euphrates river allowing an army to easily cross by and enter into Jerusalem and John saw Satan influence the beast and the false prophet to gather in Jerusalem for a great battle against Jesus Christ.

They gathered all the armies of man in Armageddon and the seventh vial was poured and a voice came out and said, "It is done!" I feel like ending our readings here; but we can't end on scary stuff like that. There were thunders, lightnings and a great earthquake so bad no Richter scale could measure this. It divided Jerusalem into three parts; like the Lord was saying "here you people that fight over Jerusalem you all can have it, Muslims, Jewish, and Christians, I've divided it for you now."

Now think back to Exodus chapter 19 when the Lord came on the mountain with the children of Israel in presence. There were lightings and thunders, exceedingly. Also think back to when the two witnesses were called up to heaven; there was a great earthquake after the rose. These are events that are happening at the same time and it shows the Lord is back because He is coming in strength, which includes lightings, thunders, and earthquakes.

We are to be ready before He comes like a thief in the night and we are naked because we did not know the signs that the Lord was on His way. Do as Jesus said, we have to watch and pray.

Revelation 17

1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Here is the judgment of the great whore, the false religion that presides over many people (the waters). The kings and governments of the earth have committed fornication with. Every time a king or President visits this country they have to go over and pay homage to this great whore and because of this the people of the earth are made drunk with their doctrine and laws. Remember what ruined the children of Israel; bad spiritual leaders, i.e., priest, preachers, pastors, and political leaders, their kings. The same thing is going to run the earth, bad political leaders and a host of bad prophets.

The woman, this organization is rich, decked in gold and precious stones and pearls, drinking out of glasses of gold; but inside the cup there are nothing but abominations. It like viewing the most dazzling beautifullest woman on the earth; what you don't know is that she has ever STD on record, she has HIV, Hepatitis, and on top of all these disasters, she had the breath of a skunk that just sprayed before it died. If the woman just sat there and smiled, you'll be dazzled; but the moment she says hi, you'll flee and ask who she is; and you would find out she has all the deadly diseases that had you committed fornication with her you would have contracted them as well. And I do mean for this example to be as graphic as possible because this is what it is comparable to.

5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Her name is mystery, in all caps, Babylon the Great (in all caps), the Mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth (all in caps). If she is the 'Mother' she has children. This organization is not hiding, they have publicly made it clear they do not go along with all that is written in the bible, they acknowledge themselves as the Mother Church. On your own look up organizations that call themselves the "Mother Church" when it comes to Christianity.

John was carried away looking at her beauty, her richness, "oh look how beautiful the church is, look at all the pretty statues and images of God, look at the soft nice singing, don't forget the nice dazzling robes of the leaders, it's all so very beautiful and holy." This is why I make a point that whatever the world loves and deems beautiful, I am sure to hate and prove it's beauty. I recommend you do the same. Do not let television tell you this is "America's Next Top Model," or you should go to this much levels of school to be recognized, or what ever it is that everyone is doing. I always tended to stay in the back of massive trends just in case the monster woke up; then as we run away from the monster, all of the sudden I'm in the front of the line. By the time he eats up 97% of the people in the front, the 3% in the back are riding safe because the monster is already full.

9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Here we have a lot of information. The seven heads are the seven mountains where the woman, the great whore, sits. Here is a good homework assignment, go look up the nation that geographically sits on seven hills or seven mountains and you would have found the great whore, the Mother of all harlots, and Babylon the great.

10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

I mentioned earlier that we know the 10 kings that attempted to reset the Roman Empire, and how we are down to the last one, Benito Mussolini being the last. There are men who say John is saying five have already fallen as he wrote this and that one is, and one is to come. They give examples of Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, have fallen, Rome is (at the time of John's writing), so two more were to come. You can try to hold some light to this but it is incorrect because good luck in finding the two who are to come.

John is giving prophecy, and just as Daniel named all the kingdoms that to come, yet he himself only wrote that during Babylon's kingdom with Nebuchadnezzar, the Lord is giving the information and knows what lies ahead, thus it is how the prophets get the information. Daniel did not understand many of the things he wrote because the understanding would come to the generation in which it is for. The same principle applies to verse 10 and all of the book of Revelation. By the time people will come to understanding of this scripture, five would have been fallen, one would have been with one more to come. Imagine the generation that reads this while the last one is; will they be thrown off because of the time they are reading this? If they do not have understanding, yes!

When the last ruler comes into the power, he is going to have a co-ruler who is the eighth; but he's of the seven. So there is only seven, with two men being the seventh; but there is not eight.

12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These are ten Gentile nations with other nations under them that will join in with the beast and go along with the doctrine and have power one hour with the beast. One hour, the hour of temptation, the great tribulation and they will all give their power to the beast; for one hour, they all have the same mindset. And the beast will convince them to go to war against the Jesus, they must describe Jesus as an alien invasion for them to believe that. I can't imagine them saying, "well now the Lord is back, He is God, He can't die, He doesn't get hurt, and He may have some stuff up His Holy sleeve that man has never seen before, but I think we can beat Him."

That is not even the conversation they are having. The conversation will go more like this, "the earth is being invaded by aliens that appear to be from Pluto, we've held this information from the public so that there is no panic, and we've had it for the last 40 years studying these aliens. They are destructible and we must defend our earth." If you are in any military at this time and you see them urging to fight aliens; I suggest you lay down and pretend to be dead or badly injured so you are relieved of your duties because it is certain the Lord will kill everyone that shows up to this battle.

14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

After that war, the nations will hate the whore, the mother church and will burn her down to the ground and God has put it in their minds to do this. Verse 15 and verse 18 explain what certain symbols and scriptures mean.

Revelation 18

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

2And 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.

An angel came and announced that Babylon the great has fallen, the habitation of devils is what it has become. The angel tells the people who want to be with the Lord to come out of this organization, and not only them; but the daughter organizations she has had over the years. Come out and don't be a part of their sins. She is going to get double the punishment for her sins because she lived so well and rich.

7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Merchants who made a lot of money selling to this organization, selling crosses, and many other things will feel it, not only in their purses and wallets, but in their soul will hurt as well.

17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. I will rejoice if it a commandment because we aren't to rejoice at the fall of our enemies; but this is a big enemy and the Lord finally avenged His prophets, apostle's, and saints.

24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

In one hour the Lord took her down and when you go by the rubble of their monuments; you'll see the blood of prophets and saints that they killed in efforts to stomp the truth off of the earth.

This will conclude our reading for the today. We will finish the bible tomorrow. Praise the Lord.
