Jesus' Knowledge of Endtime Saints
Endtime Suffering Saints
Rev.1:1 to 1:3 and Rev.4:1 to Rev.5:8 - Here God revealed to Jesus what the Angel told John to write.
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things
which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things
that he saw. 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and
keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
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". 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 4:3 And he that sat was to
look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald. 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats:
and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they
had on their heads crowns of gold. 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which
are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast
had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 4:8 And the four beasts
had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not
day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to
come. 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever. 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before
him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their
crowns before the throne, saying, 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and
honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were
created.
Scene One in Heaven
Jesus, the Lamb, Found Worthy to Open the Seven-Sealed Book
5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on
the backside, sealed with seven seals. 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud
voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof"? 5:3 And no man in
heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look
thereon.
5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book,
neither to look thereon. 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, "Weep not: behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals".
5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst
of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which
are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 5:7 And he came and took the book
out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 5:8 The four living creatures and the
twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of
incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Rev.6:1-2
6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of
thunder one of the four beasts saying, "Come and see". 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white
horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer.
III. An Angel with One of the 7 Vials Announces Judgment on Mystery Babylon
Mystery Babylon - Sits on Many Waters...Peoples, Nations, Languages
Rev.17:1-2; Rev.18:3-4; Rev.17:15
17:1 And 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 on many waters: 17:2 With 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".
18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of
the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed
rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive
not of her plagues". 17:15 And he saith unto me, "The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues".
IV. History of Mystery Babylon - A City Sitting on "Many Waters"; A Harlot Sitting on the Beast!
Sits on Seven Hills - Rome
Sits on the Beast - Globalism
Rev.17:3-6,18
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a
scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 17:4 And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH". 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with
the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
17:18 "And the woman thou sawest is that great CITY which reigneth over the kings of the earth".
The UN will doubtless promote the establishment of Rome at the Center of Endtime Global Rule.
Daniel's prophecy requires Rome's centrality in global governance of the "kings of earth". Rev.17:18.
But the Vatican will play a key role in bringing all religions, realms and rulers under one jurisdiction.
Rome must be seen as a revived "4th" Global Empire in order to be destroyed at Christ's Return. Dan.7.
V. Composite Beast Signifies 7th World Empire (Daniel's 4th) until it is "Wounded and Healed" as a Person.
World Empire begins during the Global Rule of Mystery Babylon; but before a Peace Covenant of Dan.9:27.
Only at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th Seven does the Beast change to represent Antichrist, a Person. (See VI).
The Prophet Daniel set the course of Historical and Prophetic Empires within His Prophecy of 70 Sevens!
At first a 2,000 year gap between his exact time for Christ's death and the "End of Time" seems hidden!!
That "time" is encapsulated, encoded and consummated in the 69th and 70th Sets of Daniel's Prophecy!!!
See Christ's Resurrection, Return and Restoration of All Things
Historical Setting of Daniel's 69 Sets of Seven
Some denominational groups believe Daniel's prophecy of 70 Sevens was fulfilled in the first century.
This view fails even to recognize the required "gap" of 37 years between Christ's death and AD 70.
The "gap", required by Dan.9:26, automatically postpones the Prophetic fulfillment of Dan.9:27.
Jesus connected His return to the second half of the 70th Seven which Daniel restricted to 1290 days.
Those days, He said, will be "cut short" by the destruction of the Beast at the End of Time. Dan.7:27.
Daniel's "3.5 times" are identified as the "Endtime" by Daniel and by Jesus in the Book of Revelation.
For a correct understanding of the "Endtime", we must know the Secret to Daniel's 69 Sets of Biblical Sevens.
The 69 Sevens were fulfilled to the exact Day, Palm Sunday, by overlapping them on 68 Sets of Solar Sevens.
This method was the only way to produce an exact number of whole 24-hour days between BC 444 and AD 33.
God's Timing is based on 69 Sets of Biblical 7's fulfilled in 68 Sets of Solar 7's from BC 444 to AD 33.
See 70 Sets of Seven and God's Timing
Precise Calculation of Daniel's 70th Seven
Chart of 68 Sets of Solar 7's Includes 69 Sets of Biblical 7's (7x360=2520 Days)...except for 21 days.
Sixty-Nine of 70 Sets of Biblical 7's Were Fulfilled in 68 Sets of Solar 7's from BC 444 to AD 33:
The 68 sets = 476 x 365.25=173,859 days and 69 sets (69x2520) = 173,880 days.
That means the 69 sets of Biblical 7's was 21 days longer than 68 sets of Solar 7's.
There is no other way to correspond 476 Solar years with 483 Biblical years!
These 68 sets of "solar" 7's ended 21 days short of 69 sets of Biblical sevens!!
The extra 2499 days provided all but 21 days of a 69th Biblical 7 from 444 to 33!!!
Sets of Solar Sevens - - - 68 Sets - - - Extra Days for 69th Seven
.......................Start Counting from BC 444
437 - 430 - 423 - 416 - 409 - 402 - 395 = 7 = 49x5.25 = 257.25 days
388 - 381 - 374 - 367 - 360 - 353 - 346 = 14 = 2nd line = 257.25 days
339 - 332 - 325 - 318 - 311 - 304 - 297 = 21 = 3rd line = 257.25 days
290 - 283 - 276 - 269 - 262 - 255 - 248 = 28 = 4th line = 257.25 days
241 - 234 - 227 - 220 - 213 - 206 - 199 = 35 = 5th line = 257.25 days
192 - 185 - 178 - 171 - 164 - 157 - 150 = 42 = 6th line = 257.25 days
143 - 136 - 129 - 122 - 115 - 108 - 101 = 49 = 7th line = 257.25 days
94 - - 87 - - 80 - - 73 - - 66- - 59 - - 52 = 56 = 8th line = 257.25 days
45 - - 38 - - 31 - - 24 - - 17 - 10 to BC3 = 63 = 9th line = 257.25 days
__________________________________________________________
........................From 444 BC to 3 BC = 441 yrs. = 2,315.25 days
AD 5 - 12- - 19 - - 26 - - 33 = -----------68 = 10th line= +183.75 (35x5.25)
.......................From 444 BC to AD 33 = 476 yrs. ___________
.......................Total Extra Days for 69th Seven = 2,499
Christ was born in fall of BC 2, Hebrew Calendar!
Christ died in AD 33 after 68 sets of Solar years!!
Hailed as King 21 days before end of 69th Seven!!!
The Chart Reveals 2499 Extra Solar Days Provided by 68 Sets of Seven:
Each Year = 5.25 extra days (365.25 - 360) and each Seven = 36.75 extra days!
Nine Lines of 7 or 63x7 x 5.25 = 2315.25 extra days toward the 69th Seven!!
68 sets of 7's or 476x5.25 = 2499 days for a 69th Biblical set of 2520 days!!!
Each set of 5.25 x 4 years = 21 extra days and 17 x 4 = 68 x 7 = 476 solar years!
But 7 x 17 sets (119 Solar sets) or 7 x 68 or 476 years produces 2499 extra days!!
5.25x4=21; 17x4=68; 17x7=119; 68x119 =2499; 68x7=476; 17x21=357x7 =2499!!!
Sixty-Nine Sets of Seven Equal 483 Years to Be Provided by 476 Solar Years
Another explanation of the intricate mathematical phenomenon involves a
comparison of 120 sets of “21 Biblical days” and 119 sets of “21 Solar days”.
Each year has 5.25 extra solar days so that 17 x 68 sets equals 357 solar days!
Each set of 5.25 x 4 years = 21 extra days and 17 x 4 = 68 x 7 = 476 solar years!!
But 7 x 17 sets (119 Solar sets) or 7 x 68 or 476 years produces 2499 extra days!!!
This may be broken down as 17 x 21 or 357 Solar days; three days less than 360 days!
The extra 2499 (7x357 or 119x21) was 21 days short of the 2520 days of the 69th "7"!!
The last day of 476 years was Palm Sunday, AD 33; of 483 years was Nisan 30, AD 33!!!
The Wise Men
were guided by Daniel's prophecy in telling Herod "about the time" Messiah had been born!
The 476 years that had passed by between BC 444 and BC2 (443 years) contained the clue!!
Converting solar days to Biblical days, they knew nearly 450 of the 483 years (69x7) would
already fulfilled as of Christ's second birthday!!! [Just over 33 years remained until Messiah
would be "cut off" at the age of 33 ... multiply 443 x 365.25 and divide by 360 = 450 years].
With the gap of 2000 years between Christ at age 33 for His return to heaven and His coming
to restore His people in their Kingdom in 2033 (to fulfill Hosea 5:15 to Hosea 6:2), we may
now transition to Pre-Endtime and Endtime Events that lead up to Events of the Lastday!

Secret of Daniel's 70 Sevens
No Date in 2008 for Daniel's 70th Seven
Here we do not go into the Pre-Endtime War of Gog and Magog prior to the Role of Pre-Endtime Babylon!
We wish to show the importance of Daniel's Prophecy to determine exact timing for Daniel's 70th Seven!!
Transition from Pre-Endtime to Endtime events turns on Five Catalysts, one of which sees Ten Endtime
Kings who suddenly arise within a revived Roman Global Government and destroy Mystery Babylon!!!
The Pre-Endtime first half of Daniel's 70th Seven involves the rule of Mystery Babylon over all the nations.
It fosters the peace Covenant made by the coming Antichrist with "many"...the nations as well as Israel.
He will be identified, for certain, as Antichrist at midpoint of the 70th Seven by breaking the Covenant.
However, the revival of Rome (Daniel's 4th and Revelation's 6th) World Power precedes the 70th 7 of years.
Daniel included four: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. Revelation starts with Egypt and Assyria and
revives Rome with Mystery Babylon ruling all nations as the 7th King before the Beast is Personified as an
"8th King". Rev.17:11. This means that two Kings rule successively over the Revived Roman World Empire.
At Midpoint there are Five Catalysts involved in the Transition from Pre-Endtime to Endtime Events.
"Endtime" events strictly begin with these Five Catalysts...not with signing the 70th-Seven Covenant.
Daniel's final concern was with the exact number of days to be fulfilled at the "end of prophetic time".
Ten Kings destroy Babylon by fire at Midweek and support the Antichrist. Rev.17:14-18. Babylon is the first
of two rulers over a 7th World Empire before Antichrist "takes peace from the earth" at Seal #Two. Rev.6:3-4.
Mystery Babylon Sets Stage for Five Endtime Catalysts
Global Rule of Babylon Precedes Rule of Antichrist
Rev.17:7,12-13,16-17.
17:7 And the angel said unto me, "Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her [before its head was wounded and healed],
which hath the seven heads and ten horns" [before Ten Kings destroy her and before the
Beast is wounded]. 17:12 And 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.
17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
17:16 And the ten horns (ten kings) which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the
whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom
unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
VI. Harlot's Global Rule Precedes the Wounding of the Beast (Composite Beast Healed; Personified)
Antichrist's Revelation one of Five Catalysts Hidden in Major Flashbacks; Purpose of Flashbacks;
Endtime Key - Five Endtime Catalysts; Pre-Endtime and Endtime Events
- - - - - Two Stages of Beast that Was, Is Not, Yet is to Come - Rev.13:8; Rev.17:8 - See #VII
- - - - - In the first Stage, Mystery Babylon rules the world sitting on the Beast that "WAS".
- - - - - In the 2nd Stage, Ten Kings support the Beast that "YET IS"...for 42 Months.
We believe the Beast exists as a global world power during the Pre-Endtime period of Babylon's rule.
This period includes the First of Seven Seals and the peace treaty that begins Daniel's 70th Seven.
The Endtime sees an overlapping of Seals 2-5, Trumpets 1-6 and Plagues 1-6 prior to the Lastday.
Events of the Lastday include the 7th Plague, Seals 6-7 and the 7th Trumpet realized in that order.
The Beast Wounded and Healed at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th Seven
Rev.13:8; Rev.17:8
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the
book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 17:8 The beast that thou
sawest was, and is not [head wounded unto death when Ten Kings destroy the City]; and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit [head is healed], and go into perdition: and they that dwell
on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Notes:
The wounding and healing of the Beast symbolizes the fall of Babylon and the Beast's Personification
to launch the Endtime events of 1290 days less the 26 or 27 days that will shorten the 70th Seven!
It is not the Antichrist that is wounded; but the symbolic Beast when it changes to that of a Person!!
Antichrist will rule the world only 42 months which includes Seals 2-5 until the last Martyr is killed!!!
The agents of the Change are Ten Kings who will "destroy Babylon and give their support to Antichrist".
Four other Catalysts are involved in the transition from Pre-Endtime to Endtime events at Midweek.
These events come to an abrupt end with the Signs of Seal 6 and the Events of the Lastday.
The significance of John's vision in Seal #7 (with only Six of the Seven Angels blowing their
Trumpets) has more and more played into my understanding that these Six Angels display what
has already occurred in this first of Five Flashbacks that climax with Lastday Events...on the
Day Christ comes to destroy the City of Babylon and the Satanic System of the Beast!
We may know the Year of Messiah's Coming - on the Ist or 2nd Day of the Feast of Tabernacles
...Tishri 15 or Tishri 16!! No one can know the Hour of His Presence - whether before
or during the Hour of Twilight of the Lastday!!! Matt.24:36
VII. Woman's Rule Ends as Ten Kings Destroy Her with Fire at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th Seven
One of Five Catalysts of Endtime Events - "Beast Was, Is Not, Yet Is"; Beast becomes "8th King"!
- - - - - Two Visions of Beast that Was, Is Not, Yet is to Come - Rev.13:8; Rev.17:8 - See #VI
- - - - - "Judgment begins with the household of God" at midpoint of Daniel's 70th 7. I Pet.4:17
[Hour of Judgment by Ten Kings who destroy Babylon by Fire at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th 7. Rev.17:12-17.
Unlike the "Hour of Judgment" of Rev.14:7-8, this one of Five Catalysts that begin the 1260-day Endtime].
Babylon Falls by Fire - Part One - At Midweek
Babylon Falls by Fire - Part Two - On the Lastday
Personified Beast from the Sea becomes the Eighth King[ - Rev.17:8-11
Rev.13:1-10
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great
authority. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound
was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Here, at Midweek, the composite Beast transforms to represent Antichrist; the "8th King".
13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped
the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him"? 13:5 And
there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was
given unto him to continue forty and two months. 13:6 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in
heaven. 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 13:8 And all that dwell
upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world. 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
17:8 They that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book
of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not,
and yet is. 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 17:10 And there (they also) are seven kings: five
are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come [in a first of two final stages of World
Empire]; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space (with Harlot Babylon ruling
the kings of earth). 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,
and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword
must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
VIII. Global Effect of Babylon's Destruction by Ten Kings
Second of Five Catalysts that Launch Endtime Events at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th Seven
God Removes the Restraint
God Removes Babylon
Daniel's Endtime
Rev.18:1-2,5-19; Rev.11:1; Rev.17:14,17
18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power;
and the earth was lightened with his glory. 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 18:5 For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 18:6 Reward her even as
she rewarded you, and double unto her double (first by Fire; 42 months later by earthquake)
according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 18:7 How 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. 18:8 Therefore
shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly
burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with
her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas that great city Babylon,
that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come".
18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth
their merchandise any more: 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones,
and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all
manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron,
and marble, 18:13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and
oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves,
and souls of men. 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and
all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no
more at all. 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 18:16 And saying, "Alas, alas, that
great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stones, and pearls! 18:17 For 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, 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city
is like unto this great city"! 18:19 And 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".
Notes:
Here we see the global effects of Great Babylon's Fall at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th
Seven! The direct result of the combined hatred of Ten Kings and of the Almighty's
judgment on the “apostate household of God”, it was announced in Rev.17:1 and
foretold by I Pet.4:17; 2 Thess.2!! A Post-Trib judgment on Babylon by earthquake
will follow this judgment when Christ Himself destroys the City and the System!!!
God removes the “restraint” of Democratic governments (White Horseman of Seal
#One had maintained victory over evil forces since WWII) after it compromises
itself with lawless nations until God's patience with the apostasy is exhausted!
This Judgment is one of Five Catalysts that launch Daniel's Endtime of 1290 days!!
Dan.12:11. The Catalyst of Babylon's removal occurs at the same time as Antichrist
"Takes Peace from the Earth" to fulfill Seal #Two!!!
Global peace under the UN will be disrupted by the war of Gog and Magog.
Material walls of separation between Jews and Arabs will be removed in the first
period until its peace is shattered by the War of Gog and Magog and the 7 years
to bury mass weapons of warfare. Ezek.38-39. A second period of global peace
under Babylon's rule will continue a “short space” (17:10) with this second period
of peace interrupted by the Five Catalysts.
Rev.11:1-2 - THIRD TEMPLE
The 2nd period of peace would be initiated by the nations allowing Jews to worship in
the third Temple in Jerusalem and to fulfill Rev.11:1: “And they (the angel and voice
from heaven; my translation) said to me: 'Rise and measure the (third) temple of God
and the altar and those worshiping in it (during the first half of Daniel's 70th Seven); but
do not measure the court outside of the temple because it has been given to the nations
...and they shall trample the holy city 42 months'” (during 2nd half of the 70th Seven).
Note:
Not only will Babylon's fall remove global peace, the Jews will no longer be allowed to
worship in the temple. Jesus had predicted that "Jerusalem would be trodden by the
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled". Luke 21:24. He also said the
temple would be "left desolate unto them" to fulfill His own prophecy; but a final
temple would be desecrated (for 1290 days) to fulfill Daniel's prophecy. Matt.23:37-38;
Matt.24:15; Dan.12:11. He concluded that His people would "see Him no more until
they confess: `Blessed is the One coming in the named of the Lord'". Matt.23:39.
The most revealing text in Revelation, concerning God's will, relates to the fulfillment
of this prophecy about His "coming in the name of the Lord...for God will put into the
hearts of the Ten Kings to agree and to give their kingdom unto the Beast UNTIL the
words of God are fulfilled". These "words" refer back to Hosea 5:14 to Hosea 6:2 where
the Lord asserts "He will not restore His former people for two days...until the third day"!
That "third day", in our view, will begin with Christ's 2034th birthday in 2033...Tishri 1 of
the Hebrew year 5794. [The "two days" represent 2000 years between AD 33 and 2033).
Rev.17:14,17
But, at the end of 42 months, God will fulfill His will after inspiring these Ten Kings
to support the Beast. Rev.17:14,17: These (10 Kings) 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, chosen, and faithful. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will,
and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until God's words shall be fulfilled.

God's Kingdom Power - May, 1999
God's Kingdom Power - Meditation #11 - 2002
God Sends Two Prophets to Manifest Kingdom Power 1260 Days.
Rev.6:3-4; Rev.13:11-17; Rev.11:2
6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, "Come and see".
6:4 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.
Beast from the Earth Supports Beast from the Sea to Subdue Mankind
13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed. 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 13:14 And deceiveth them that
dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of
the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 13:15 And he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that
as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 13:16 And he causeth
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand,
or in their foreheads: 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. 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six.
11:2 "But 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".
Note
Not only do the Ten Kings support the Antichrist for 42 months and will take part in "making War
against the Lamb"; but Satan will empower TWO Beasts to expend his wrath against God's people.
The second Beast will perform great miracles to cause the entire world to worship the Beast and
to receive his mark in order to "buy and sell". For 42 months they will persecute the Saints and
finally kill the Two Prophets just 3 days before the Lamb comes with the "called, elect and faithful
to overcome the Ten Kings and cast the Beasts into Hell..for He is Lord of lords and King of kings".
See end of #VIII above.
X. War in Heaven - Satan Cast to Earth.
Scene Two in Heaven
Foremost Endtime Catalyst...War in Heaven at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th Seven.
[Scene One of 12 Scenes was Rev.4:1 to 5:14]
Rev.12:7-9,12-14,6,15-17
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels, 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more
in heaven. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him. 12:12 Therefore 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. 12:13 When the dragon saw that
he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) which brought forth the man child.
12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the
wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath
a place prepared of God, that they [Two Prophets] should feed her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days. 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood
after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 12:16 And the
earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood
which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Note:
Five Catalysts launch Satan's Endtime persecution of the Saints. God is the instigator of these
Catalysts including the War in Heaven, Scene Two of its 12 Scenes. Although Satan comes down
in anger to destroy Israel as a remnant escapes into the wilderness, his anger turns to wrath
in his persecution of Saints. God will employ the wrath of Satan, the hatred of Ten Kings and
the gathering of earth's armies against Israel to prepare His former people to embrace Messiah.
Rev.12:6,12,14-17; Rev.17:16.
While Satan empowers Antichrist to "take peace from the earth", to desecrate the Temple, to
cause all the world to worship the Beast and to take his mark and to seek the destruction of
Israel and to slaughter all the Saints, it is God who tests the faith and purity of His present
people and prepares His former people to "mourn" at the sight of their Messiah's return with
"many who pierced Him".
That testing of Believers and preparation of His former people will begin on the final day of
the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 2030, we believe, for it will be just 1260 + 3 days between
Nisan 21 of 5790 (April 24, 2030) and two weeks into the 2034th birthday of Christ in Tishri
of 5094. We believe the remnant of Israel will "flee into the wilderness" in the spring of 2030.
XI. Here is the Patience of the Saints
"NOW has Come God's Kingdom Power and Christ's Authority" - Rev.12:10 [Fulfills Mark 9:1]
Christ's Endtime Mandate Hidden?
Here is the Catalyst of God's Kingdom Power coming through the Two Prophets for 1260 Days!
Rev.12:10-11
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and
the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God day and night". 12:11 And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives
unto the death.
Note:
The Saints' secret of Patience centers in and is fueled by their assurance of God's Kingdom Power!
The Two Prophets are able to perform any Plague they wish and will demonstrate more power than
any of Satan's emissaries until they "finish their Task"!! Any enemy who tries to harm them will be
killed by the "fire that proceeds from their mouths"!!! Rev.11:3-7.
The promise and incentive to "endure to the end and be kept from the hour of trial" (Rev.3:10)
applies to all Believers since that Hour occurs when Christ "gathers the elect from earth on the four
winds and sends the angels to gather them out of the skies to meet Him" at the Last Trump!
Mark 13:27; Matt.24:31. Those who "overcome to the end will reign with Christ on the earth"!!
Rev.2:25-26. Those who are martyred will "serve God in the temple of heaven for 1000 years"!!!
Rev.3:12; Rev.7:15-17; Rev.20:4-6.
The Great Tribulation is not the "Hour of Trial"! None of the first 6 Trumpets nor first 6
Plagues are part of that Hour!! The Hour of Trial occurs on the Last Day after the Last Martyr
has been killed, after the armies of the 6th Trumpet kill one third of mankind, after they
cross the Euphrates River and invade Israel for the Great Day of God Almighty...and as the
Saints "watch and pray" with the certainty of knowing they will be "kept from that Hour"!!!
Rev.3:10-11; Rev.16:15-16.
XII. God's Two Prophets from Heaven Administer God's Kingdom Power for 1260 Endtime Days!
Catalyst of Endtime Events - Evidence Supports Nisan 21,5790/April 24,2030 for their Appearance
Two Endtime Prophets
Apostle John as One of Two Prophets
Prophets Fulfill Christ's Mandate
Elijah's Role in Israel's Redemption
Rev.10:1-10; Rev.10:11 to Rev.11:6
10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a
rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his
left foot on the earth, 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he
had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, "Seal up
those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not".
10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to
heaven, 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the
things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the
things which are therein, that "there should be time no longer: 10:7 But in the days of the
voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be
finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets".
10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, "Go and take
the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon
the earth". 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, "Give me the little book". And
he said unto me, "Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy
mouth sweet as honey". 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up;
and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
[Will these 7 messages, thunders, be revealed by the Apostle John as one of the two Prophets?]
10:11 And he said unto me, "Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and
tongues, and kings". 11:1 And 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.
11:2 But 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".
This Endtime scenario may well be the opportunity for John as one of 2 Witnesses?
- - - - - Fulfillment of this Text awaits the Endtime Mandate given to the Two Witnesses
11:3 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and
the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 11:5 And if any man will hurt them,
fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt
them, he must in this manner be killed. 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain
not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to
smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will".
XIII. The Lamb Opens Seal #Three and Seal #Four During the Great Tribulation
Rev.6:5-8
6:5 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.
6:6 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". 6:7
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, "Come
and see". 6:8 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.
Note: The power of death over a quarter of earth may include a third of mankind in Trump 6!
XIV. Lamb Opens Seal #Five - Scene Three.
[Scene Four is not fulfilled until #XXIV - See Centerpiece
Scene Four precedes "Open Temple" Drama! Scenes #4 to #9 occur on the 12-Hour Day
of God's Wrath!! Scenes #5 to #7 is the Temple Drama...Turning Point from Anger to Wrath!!!]
Scene Three Finds the Martyrs Making their Plea for God to Avenge their Blood
- - - - - God answers prayer of Scene Three during the Temple Drama of #XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII.
- - - - - Scene One was Rev.4-5; Scene Two was War in Heaven and Satan cast out. Rev.12:7-9.
- - - - - Turning Point from anger to wrath occurs at Scenes 6-7/Seal #Seven and Trump #7.
Rev.6:9-11 - Scene Three - The Prayer of the Martyrs before the Temple Opens.
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were
slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 6:10 And they cried with a
loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth"? 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that "they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-
servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled".
NOTES:
Great Babylon, the City, will have been destroyed and its System confiscated by Ten Kings!
Vast armies from the East are set to kill ⅓ of mankind over a ¼-area of earth's population!!
Scene Three (Rev.6:9-11) reveals God's answer to the martyrs' urgent prayer for revenge!!!
The “rest of believers who should be killed, as they were, must first join them in a short
time” for the saints' final prayers in Act Two (Scene Six; Seal #Seven) of the Three-Act
Temple Drama on the last day! “No one can enter the Temple until the last (7th) Plague
empties in the air” and the Temple Opens for these final prayers in Seal #Seven!! Rev.6:11;
Rev.15:8; Rev.8:1-5. The slaughter of 2 billion people, predicted for a ¼-area of earth in
Seal #Four, will be done by the “2nd Woe”, the slaughter of the 6th Trumpet that affects ⅓
of mankind!!! [We think Seal #Four and 6th Trumpet are two visions of the same slaughter]
The “2nd Woe” sets the stage for armies from the East to “cross the Euphrates on dry
ground”...to invade Israel for the “Battle of the Day of God Almighty at Armageddon”
that will stretch out over a 180-mile area....at the Hour of God's and the Lamb's wrath which
“no one can know” in advance! The reason for this is that only the Father knows when
the last martyr will be killed...even as events of the Lastday begin!! For the Jews that
Hour could be on Tishri 15, the day for a predicted total lunar eclipse in America and
Westward to Asia (Joel 2:31); OR it more likely will be at the start of Tishri 16, during
the Twilight Hour, to begin their “Day of the Lord” as they read Zech.14 and pray
for Messiah's coming!!!
Act Two and Act Three (Centerpiece #14-#15; Scene #6 and Scene #7) are the "turning point"
from the Exhaustion of God's Anger (His patience after 6 Trumpets and 6 Plagues) to the
Execution of His Wrath on Babylon as the 7th Trumpet sounds that "God's wrath has come"!
The Great and Wonderful Sign at Heaven's Scene #Four (First of 6 Lastday Scenes) reveals
God's patience "was exhausted" before the Temple opens for the Three-Act Drama!! Events
between the Transition from Scene #3 to that of Scene #4 include an unknown period of
days prior to the opening of Seal #Six on the Lastday!!!
Under Scenes in Heaven Collated with Earth's Events,
#52 to #58 reveal God's “anger turns to wrath” at Seal #Seven (Act Two). But the "anger of
the winepress" of Rev.14:19-20 (part of #27) anticipates the literal fulfillment of God's wrath
at Rev.19:15 as Christ descends from heaven. On the Lastday there are two targets for His wrath...
the nations of earth (symbolized by the reaping of Rev.14:14-16) and the armies at Armageddon.
Rev.16:18-21; Rev.19:15-21.
And we believe the "treading of the winepress of anger" in Rev.14:19-20 is symbolic in the
reaping by 3 angels so as to anticipate the actual “treading in anger and wrath” that follows
Heaven's Scene #Eight on the same Lastday. That means Rev.14:7 and Rev.14:20 are literally
fulfilled immediately before as well as during Christ's descent after the rejoicing in heaven.
See Event #7 and then #20 in Centerpiece. These are two
of the "Seven Things that Has Come" on the Lastday and that are anticipated by Angels in Rev.14.
The primary argument for Scenes Four to Nine occurring on the 12-Hour Day of Wrath
(during the 6 3/4 hours of Seal #Six) is that SEVEN THINGS HAVE COME as of that Day!
Each of these Seven Things occurs in the "past tense"; but only from the perspective
of the Lastday!! These Seven Things include: One: Day of Wrath - Rev.6:17; Two:
Hour of Judgment - Rev.14:7; Three: Hour to Reap - Rev.14:15; Four: Multitude out of
Great Tribulation - Rev.7:13; Five: Angel of Fire - Rev.8:3; Six: God's Wrath and time
to Judge and Reward Saints - Rev.11:18; Seven: Wedding of Lamb - Rev.19:7. The Lamb
takes His Bride to Himself on the same day, and in the same hour, that the Harlot begins her
eternal torment with "smoke rising up forever". Rev.19:1-3,7.
XV. Trumpets 1 to 6 Climax in a Slaughter of ⅓ of Mankind over a Quarter of the Earth
- - - - - Seal #Four, we believe, covers the same slaughter as that envisioned in the 6th Trumpet.
- - - - - Sixth Trumpet Judgment brings death to a third of mankind near the End of 70th Seven.
Rev.9:12-19
9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 9:13 And the
sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is
before God, 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels
which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which
were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of
men. 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand
thousand: and I heard the number of them. 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and
them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the
heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke
and brimstone. 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed [over a quarter of the
earth?], by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents,
and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
[This Section Published in Senior Experience at FBCN for October, 2009. The Title:
When God Responds to the Prayers and Patience of the Saints.
We may now deal with the question as to Why God Waits until the Last Day to Execute
His Wrath upon the Wicked!]
XVI. God's Patience Exhausted as Seven Angels Empty the Seven Last Plagues
Rev.15:6 to Rev.16:11
LASTDAY KEY, The Great and Wonderful Sign and the Temple Drama.
PILOT KEY
Seven Last Plagues empty prior to Seal #Six and prior to the Temple Drama in Heaven.
TIME KEY
"Countdown" Time Ends prior to the Last Plague, Last Martyr, Seal #Six and Temple Drama.
TRANSLATION KEY
God's Patience ends by MIXING ANGER (thumos) in the Cup of Wrath (orgay). Rev.14:10.
God's Patience Ends with the 7th Plague
The Plagues neither express nor exhaust God's wrath. They "complete His anger."
God's time to execute wrath is set by the death of the last Martyr and events that
occur while the 7th (last) Plague remains suspended in the air for six hours.
The mixing of “anger with wrath” is veiled in some translations by mixing "wrath with
indignation" as in the KJV or "wrath with anger" in Rev.14:10. Wrath is an ingredient
with fatal consequences for eternity. The view that Plagues “complete God's wrath”
(Rev.15:1; Rev.16:1) or of wrath “filling the Cup of Anger" (Rev.14:10; KJV, NASB)
resulted from Plato's influence on the beliefs of CHURCH FATHERS. Their idea of
God's Wrath saw Him too exalted to be affected by the "human proclivity to anger."
It is critical to show the Cup of Wrath waits to pour out its deadly mixture after the
Temple Drama as well as after the last Plague empties. The New Jerusalem Bible and
Greek Texts require the Plagues to "complete God's anger." Baker's translation did so
for the KJV Greek text translated in 1897 and Alfred Marshall did so for Zondervan's
translation of the KJV Greek text in 1958.
Modern translations present the last Plagues as "completing God's wrath." Finding a
reason for this anomaly took some research. Cambridge Platonists, influenced by
Origen and Augustine, never attributed "anger" to God. (Dictionary of the Apostolic
Church by James Hastings, Scribners, 1916, P.63). Plato taught that God was too
exalted to be affected by human emotions. Augustine rejected much of Platonism, but
not the idea which led to falsely rendering thumos as "wrath" instead of as "anger."
The Vulgate substituted Latin "long-suffering" (long-animus) instead of "long-anger"
for the Greek (macro-thumos). The NASB mixes wrath with His "anger." That is
opposite to the Greek text. The New Century Bible mixes "anger in a Cup of anger"
and thus fails to show that it takes God's wrath alone to inflict eternal punishment.
Augustine thought he was upholding the divine nature by not subjecting Deity to the
level of human frailty and by not allowing sinful beings to disturb His bliss. The City
of God (Book 15; Ch.25) speaks of "God's anger not influencing His mind or breaking
His unchangeable tranquility." God is not subject to tantrums; but Augustine refused
to allow anger (of a long-suffering nature) to be reckoned as one of His perfections.
Because “anger” culminates in God's wrath, the Plagues must empty prior to Seal #6
for the Day of Wrath; prior to the Temple Drama's Verdict of Wrath and prior to the
Proclamation of the 7th Trumpet Angel that "His wrath had come". Seal #6 signals the
“Day of Wrath” has begun. Rev.6:12-17. Seal #7 displays six of 7 Seven Trumpet
Judgments to incriminate the wicked. Martyrs make their final Petition in Seal #7.
The Plagues had manifested God's “righteous and just deeds” against the wicked. He
responds to the Martyrs' song and fulfills His promise of revenge after completing the
3-Act Temple Drama. All the Martyrs join in the Song of Moses and then in the last
Prayers of Seal #7 after all believers who "should be killed were killed." Rev.6:9-11.
************************************************************************************************
NO ONE ENTERS THE TEMPLE UNTIL THE LAST PLAGUE EMPTIES AND THE SMOKE CLEARS
Since "no one can enter the Temple (Rev.15:8 for the Three Act Drama on the Lastday) until the
Plagues finish God's anger" (patience; Rev.15:1), all of the martyrs in heaven must wait until the
7th Plague empties in the air! Then the Martyrs will envision the half-hour-display of six of the
Trumpets IN THE TEMPLE during Act Two of Seal #Seven!! This is the only time that the
7th Trumpet may sound as its message of both doom and deliverance occurs while the Temple
"was open"!!! [Order of LASTDAY Events proves Rev.15:1-5 precedes Act Three in Rev.11:15-19].
The smoke of God's glory and power clears the Temple after the Plagues "complete" God's patience
which is signified by a Great and Wonderful Sign in Rev.15:1-4! The Martyrs come out from under
the Altar on the Lastday after all who "should be killed have been killed" and, together with the
"144,000 Firstfruit unto God and the Lamb", they present their case before God in songs...and the
Temple Opens!! There is a retroactive Transition from the songs to the Drama in the Temple!!!
The textual order following Rev.15:5 is included in #XXVII where the First Flashback is inserted in Act
Two, Seal #Seven. Here the action is retroactive as it transitions from Rev.15:5 to
Rev.7:9-17 and to Rev.8:1-5 for the first two scenes of the Three-Act Drama
[Order of Lastday Events...#XXVI; XXVII].
Finally, the Three-Act Temple Drama climaxes with the 7th Trumpet.
Again, since Seal #Six and Seal #Seven open "after the Great Tribulation", Christ's second
coming must occur immediately. Those who teach a Pre-Tribulation Rapture include the 7
Trumpets and 7 Plagues within the Great Tribulation and call the entire 7-year period "The Day
of the Lord"! The Pre-Wrath Rapture view places the Rapture after Seal #6 (which is "after
the great tribulation"; Matt.24:29-30); but that view then excludes six Trumpets as part of the
Great Tribulation which ends at Seal #6 and Seal #7!! This view places all 7 Trumpets after
the Rapture by assuming the "unknown Day of the Lord" is an "unknown period of time"!!!
"For 3½ days after the Flashback to their 1260-day task ends with the killing of the
Two Prophets, the 7th Trumpet is `about to sound that God's wrath has come'”! The
6th Trumpet holocaust passes and its armies cross the Euphrates in Plague #6 to kill
Jews!! Men “hide in the hills” as millions invade Israel over an 180-mile-area!!!
The purpose of Seal #Seven's Flashback in Rev.8:1-5...after 6 of 7 Angels blow their
Trumpets...is to reveal 6 Angels displaying what had already occurred before John
describes them from Rev.8:6 to Rev.9:21! The Five Flashbacks collectively climax
with 100 verses on Lastday Events!! The Last Trumpet sounds 3 times on the Day
Christ delivers the Elect and destroys Babylon and the Beast's Satanic System!!!
The Day of the Lord is a single 12-Hour Day; not an unknown Period of Time. The events
of that Day will not begin until the 7th Plague empties and the smoke of God's glory and
power clears from within the Temple. Even then, the open Temple Drama does not begin
until all the Martyrs sing the song of Moses because the Plagues "had manifested that God's
deeds were true and righteous". Rev.15:1,4.
Jesus places His coming in glory "immediately after the Great Tribulation" which lasts 1260
days or 42-30-day months! Matt.24:29-30. He also revealed He will "gather the elect from
earth to the sky on the 4 winds in the days" when Daniel's 1290 days are "cut short" (by 26
or 27) days!! Mark 13:24-27; Matt.24:22. But only in Revelation, after ascending to heaven,
did God reveal to Him that this "chronological prophetic time of 1260 days" ends 3 or 4
days after the Two Prophets finish their 1260-day task!!! Rev.1:1; Rev.10:6-7; Rev.11:7-11.
In Matthew, Jesus promises that the Elect will be "gathered by the angels out of the 4 winds"
as soon as He gathers them from earth on the 4 winds. But in Luke's account, Jesus speaks
primarily to the Jews, not to the Elect, to urge them to "pray to escape all these things about
to happens and to prevail to stand before the Son of Man...on the DAY that comes as a
snare (when men say peace and safety) upon all those dwelling on all the face of all
the earth"! Luke 21:28-36; I Thess.1:10; 2 Thess.1:10.
The pointed significance for having stated that "no one knows the day or the hour" was to
anticipate the anxiety of the "final generation that sees all these things happening"! That
anticipation has nothing to do with expecting the Rapture "at any moment" PRIOR to
seeing the abomination placed in the Temple by the Antichrist!! In fact, because of the
"revelation given to Jesus by the Father" in Rev.12:1-5 and referenced by Peter in Acts 2:
20-22 as a future reference to that Day, Jesus knew only those in the last generation
would come to know that God's Wrath will occur on that single Day of the Lord!!!
*********************************************************************************************************
PLAGUES EMPTY BEFORE THE LASTDAY TEMPLE DRAMA...Rev.15:6-8; Rev.16:1-3...
15:6 And the seven angels came out of (EXITED) the temple, having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden
girdles. 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden
vials full of the wrath (thumos = anger; not wrath) of God, who liveth for ever and
ever. 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from
his power; and no man was able to enter into the Temple, till the seven plagues
of the seven angels were fulfilled. (This is Key to the Lastday order of events)!
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go
your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath (thumos = anger; not wrath) of God
upon the earth. 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and
there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast,
and upon them which worshiped his image. 16:3 And the second angel poured out
his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul
died in the sea. [3 more Plagues; #3 to #5, "complete God's anger" by exhausting His
patience...thumos, not orgay; only on the Lastday are anger and wrath joined together].
God's Patience Ends by Mixing Anger (thumos) in a Cup of Wrath (orgay).
Rev.14:10 "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath (anger) of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation (wrath); and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb".
The 7 Angels with the Last Trumpets appear in the OPEN Temple on the Lastday...but
after the Lamb opens Seal #7 to allow the display of 6 Trumpet Judgments from within
the inner Scroll which have actually “passed by” as of the Lastday. The 7 Angels with 7
Last Plagues, likewise, will have EXITED the Temple, received their Vials and emptied
their Plagues before the Temple Opens on the Lastday! Rev.15:1,5.
The 6th Trumpet and 6th Plague describe the armies gathering to the Armageddon.
Six Trumpets present evidence of their deeds in Seal #7 of the Open Temple Drama.
The 7th Plague initiates the opening of Seal #6 and Seal #6 anticipates the Temple
Drama. Immediately after the display of six Trumpet Judgments and the Verdict, the
7th Angel proclaims "God's Wrath has Come"! God's “anger mixes with His wrath”.
Note: As 7 Last Plagues manifest God's final display of patience before He executes His
wrath; there is no evidence for indicting or sentencing the wicked as long as they are
allowed to repent. (1) Their refusal to repent during the anger of God's thumos reveals
His patience still operates. The Angel of Fire (who renders the Verdict by “casting fire
off the Altar” in the 7th Seal's Tribunal) had made reference from that Altar during the
3rd Plague that His judgments were "true and righteous! Rev.16:7. (2) ALL the martyrs see
His deeds as "true and righteous" in their final song just before the Temple Opens!! Rev.15:3-4.
And the Temple Drama immediately follows their song of Moses; so (3) The Drama in the Temple,
as of Rev.15:5, must be viewed as retro-active to the text from Rev.7:9 through Rev.8:5 and
Rev.11:15-19 on the Last Day!!!
After the Plagues have "completed God's anger" (aorist indicative; past tense for "complete"),
the Martyrs' song of Moses indicates the "judgments" of the Plagues were “finished”! The Plagues
exhaust God's patience and then the "smoke of God's glory and power" clears from the Temple!!
Rev.15:8. The description of the the 7 Plagues is one of Five Flashbacks that climax with the
explosion of God's wrath on the Last Day!!!
XVII. Two Witnesses Killed on Day #1260; But They are not the Last Martyrs.
After Great Tribulation, no more delay remains as the 7th Trumpet is about to sound
at the killing of the last Martyrs and their witness at the Tribunal of Seal #7! The 7
Plagues have manifested God's final display of patience before He executes wrath!!
Again, no evidence exits for indicting or sentencing the wicked as long as they are allowed
to repent...before the Temple Opens!!! Rev.15:4-5.
The Prophets finish their Task 3 days before Christ returns in glory...while the armies
of the Evil Trio gather to Armageddon and nations celebrate their deaths. Rev.11:7-10:
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out
of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill
them. 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 11:9 And
they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies
three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry,
and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that
dwelt on the earth. [They will rise up in 3 days...on the Lastday. Rev.11:11-12].
Note: A Flashback to 6 of 7 Trumpets (seen from the inner Scroll after opening Seal
#7 on the Lastday; Rev.8:6 to Rev.9:21) is not interrupted at a Flashback in Rev.10-11.
By understanding the sequence of Lastday Events
occurs on a single 12-Hour Day of Wrath, the 7th Angel also trumpets on that day...for
Martyrs have sung their song; and in Seal #7's "half hour of silence", six angels had
presented final evidence from within the Scroll! The Angel of Fire offers the prayers
of the saints to God and casts coals of fire to earth!! The 7th Angel trumpets: "God's
Wrath has Come"; for “time has ended; God's mystery was finished”!!! Rev.10:6-7;
Rev.11:3,7,11,14. Rev.16:7; Rev.15:3-5.
I believe that, as Seals #6 and #7 (Seal #7 is Scene 6; Rev.8:1-5) open on the Lastday,
six Trumpets will have "passed"! The 2nd Flashback, to the Two Prophets (Rev.10-11),
is just one setting for the 100 verses of Lastday events!! The 3rd and 5th Flashbacks
(Rev.12-14 from the War in Heaven; and Rev.17:1 to 18:19 for the Fall of Babylon the
Great at midpoint of the 70th Seven) also provide settings for Lastday events!!!
The display of six Trumpets in the 1st Flashback (Rev.8:6 to Rev.9:21) and the
description of six Plagues in the 4th Flashback (Rev.16:1-16) will be finished
(Rev.5:8) before the Martyrs and 144,000 Firstfruit enter the Temple for the Lastday's
Three-Act Drama in Scenes 5 to 7. [Act One, Scene 5 - Rev.7:9-17; Act Two,
Scene 6 - Rev.8:1-5; Act Three, Scene 7 - Rev.11:15-19].
XVIII. God's Patience Requires Patience by the Saints until Armies Gather to Armageddon
Two Stages, Separated by 42 Months, for the Destruction of Mystery Babylon.
The 5th Flashback, with its two stages for the Fall of Babylon, is unique in revealing her
destruction occurs twice! The first stage, destruction of the City by Fire, describes the
transition from the Rule of Babylon to that of the Personified Beast...the Antichrist!!
This stage begins with the 7-Year Covenant signed to bring peace to the Middle East!!!
The 2nd stage, destruction by history's greatest quake, brings eternal destruction to the
City and System as heaven rejoices...as soon as the 7th Trumpet Angel proclaims: "God's
Wrath has Come"! Rev.11:18; Rev.18:20 to Rev.19:3. There is a deep Purpose for Delay
to execute God's Wrath!! Five Flashbacks lead up to the Testimony, Tribunal and Triumph
of the Temple Drama before the souls of ALL the martyrs are avenged by God's Wrath!!!
We see two Causes for Patience to continue until the Last Plague Empties in the Air on
the Lastday! Behind these Causes the Mandate for the Church continues to the
END OF THE AGE!!
Preaching the Gospel is the Church's task which the Two Prophets and the 144,000 Jews
exhibit because they are as much a part in fulfilling the Mandate as are the Martyrs who
will be avenged by God on the Day of Wrath!!!
Behind these two Causes is the Mandate for the Church to the END OF THE AGE.
The preaching of the Gospel unto the End of the Age is the task of the Church of which
the Two Prophets and 144,000 Jews are as much a part of fulfilling Christ's Mandate as
the Martyrs who will be avenged by God on the Day of Wrath!
To Evaluate these Two Causes requires an OVERLAPPING OF SEALS, TRUMPETS, PLAGUES.
To better evaluate my search for understanding these Two Causes, please go to MY SEARCH.
Cause #One for the Delay in fulfilling the Mandate is God's Patience toward the wicked.
Cause #Two is the necessary Testimony of Martyrs who remain faithful to the End.
Why Prophets Remain Dead 3 Days.
"God is not willing that any should perish" - 2 Pet.3:4-9
"God is not willing that any should perish; but to come to repentance".... 2 Pet.3:4-9
Plagues #3, #4 - Wicked men refuse to Repent; Prepare to invade Israel. Rev.16:4-9
Wicked Continue to Shed "blood of Saints" while refusing to "repent". Rev.9:20-21
Rev.16:4-11
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters;
and they became blood. 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, "Thou art
righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them
blood to drink; for they are worthy". 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say,
"Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments". [The Martyrs
repeat these words in Rev.15:4 after God's Patience (thumos; not orgay) ends].
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given
to him to scorch men with fire. 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and repented
not to give him glory. 16:10: And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat
of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues
for pain, 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds. [Plague #6 sets stage for God's Wrath as His
anger mixes with wrath in Act Two of the Temple Drama. Trumpet Angel #7 sounds
and the Cup of Wrath empties at Scene #8 in Heaven. Rev.19:1-8; Rev.16:18-21].
Note: PreTrib and PreWrath beliefs overlook the reason for God's patience until
the last day, last martyr and the last plague of His anger! The Day of Wrath comes
suddenly...as a thief...and lasts for six Hours, not 6 years or just 6 months!! On that
day the final opportunity will be given for all who wish not to perish; but to just hope
to be “kept alive” by prostrating themselves before their Creator; or suffer eternal
destiny in Hell for all who refuse to repent of worshiping the Beast!!!
Luke 17:30-33; Luke 21:34-36.
Rev.14:10-12
14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath (anger) of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation (wrath); and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb: 14:11 And 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. 14:12 Here is the patience
of saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Now we make Transition to the Order of LASTDAY Events as Armies Gather to Armageddon.
The Armies of the Evil Trio invade Israel to make "War Against the Lamb and His People". Rev.16:10-16.
The Biblical Text to be fulfilled in preparation for this Transition involves FOUR significant Settings.
Setting ONE reveals the wicked totally unrepentant as the patience of God reaches its apex! Rev.16:10-11.
In Setting TWO the Armies cross the Euphrates to invade Israel over the plains of Armageddon!! Rev.16:12-16.
In Setting THREE the Saints watch with intense anticipation for Christ's return to rescue them!!! Rev.16:15.
In Setting FOUR the final days of Christ's Mission Mandate fulfilled as Two Prophets remain dead!!!!
XIX. Plague #5 and Plague #6 Climax with Armies Gathering to Armageddon
God's Appointed Times
God's Perspective of Time
Why God's Prophets Remain Dead for 3.5 Days
End of the Age Manifesto
- - - - - These armies have killed a third of mankind in Trumpet #6 and continue unrepentant!
- - - - - God's Patience (thumos) has been exhausted; Saints' patience about to be rewarded!
- - - - - Saints are "blessed" while they continue to wait and watch patiently for Christ!
- - - - - "Peace and Safety" syndrome result of Death of Two Prophets and invasion at Armageddon!
- - - - - "Some will face death" with triumph while the Two Prophets remain dead for 3.5 days!
Rev.16:10-16
16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 16:11 And blasphemed the God of
heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of
the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 16:14 For they are the spirits
of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest
he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16:16 And he (they) gathered them together into a
place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
INTRODUCTION to Day of Wrath
THIS IS THE SOLE CONTEXT IN WHICH CHRIST COMES WHILE MEN ARE SAYING: "PEACE, SAFETY"!
- - - One Word, Gegonen, Triggers the Signs and 22 Major Events of the Lastday - - -
This is the setting for the promised "blessing to those who watch and keep their garments intact"!
The warning to not be found "sleeping" applies only to those who do not realize the End has come!!
Believers endure to the End while the wicked unknowingly march to their DESTINY of destruction!!!
A contributing factor to the false sense of security arises from the Beast having killed the Prophets!
A 2nd factor: False Prophet boasts that has armies have just killed a third of mankind in one Hour!!
A 3rd factor: His 200 million soldiers cross the dried-up Euphrates unimpeded and invade Israel...!!!
God executes wrath on the wicked after the "Seven Last Plagues exhaust His Anger" (thumos)!
His wrath (orgay) awaits Scenes #6 and #7...the 7th Seal and the 7th Trumpet on the Lastday!!
Trumpet #7 alone states that "God's Wrath has come" and time to resurrect and reward Saints!!!
God executes Wrath and raises all Believers from Earth as the Hour of Trial engulfs mankind!
Jesus "raises up all Believers and sends His angels to bring the Elect to meet Him in the air"!!
The Day for resurrection includes 3 soundings of the Last Trump, the 7th Trumpet!!! Rev.11:18.
At the first sound of Trump #7, "God's wrath has come and appointed time for the Resurrection"!
John 6:38-40; Mark 13:27; I Thess.4:13-17 (raised up and gathered above at the second sound)!!
Matt.24:31; I Cor.15:52; 2 Thess.2:1 (gathered to Synagogue in the sky at 3rd Trumpet sound)!!!
Section XVI to XIX published in Nov-Dec, 2009, issue of Senior Experience, FBCN
This section deals with the question of Why God Waits until the Last Day to Execute His
Wrath upon the Wicked!
TRANSITION to Order of LASTDAY Events Based on Scriptural Text
This Transition awaits the fulfillment of the messages that were sealed both to Daniel and Apostle John.
Daniel said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?" And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the
words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end". Dan.12:8-9.
Rev.10:4: And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
10:5: And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
10:6: And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are,
and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there
should be time no longer:
10:7: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God
should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
10:8: And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book
which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
10:9: And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it,
and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10:10: And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey:
and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
10:11: And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Knowledge that the "End is Near" awaits the Endtime revelation of the messages given by the 7 thunders!
We now know when the 70th Seven will begin and end as a result of the latest interpretation of Rev.12:1-5!!
But we must wait for the Two Prophets from heaven to reveal the messages for the "restoration of all things"!!!
When Believers Know the End is Near
John the Apostle's Endtime Role Predicted by the Mighty Angel of Rev.10
When the Mighty Angel appeared to John on the Island of Patmos, his message concerned John's Endtime Role!
John must "prophesy again before many nations and rulers and peoples" to reveal the messages of 7 Thunders!!
The irrefutable climax to fulfill this prediction is set by the Angel when "time ends and the 7th Trumpet sounds!!!
The Two Prophets' Endtime task will end on Tishri 12...three days before Christ comes at the Feast of Tabernacles!
Their task ends when there is "no more delay and the mystery of God was finished in the days of the 7th Trumpet"!!
This conclusion based on the "End of Days" presented in Christ's Resurrection, Return and Restoration of All Things!!!
DIALOGUE BETWEEN TWO PROPHETS ABOUT THEIR ENDTIME TASK - Published Jan-Feb, 2010 Issues of SE of FBCN
Two Prophets Complete Task Prior to 7th Trumpet
Dialogue Continues:
Prophets Arise before Trump 7 to Witness in Seal 7
On January 1, 2010, it occurred to me that we should search for Scriptures that overlap both Endtime and Lastday events!
Since publishing the Centerpiece at Shavuot in May of 1999, I had realized that Rev.16:15-16 overlap these two subjects!!
Today I fully realized that the 3 1/2 days of Rev.11:7-10 also overlap the end of days and multiple events of the Lastday!!!
Also today, with an alert from Google and a link to an article on "The Day of the Lord is Coming Soon", DailyCrossesForum,
my attention was directed to Zechariah 14:1-3 where, again, both the Endtime and Day of the Lord are linked in one text!
So we may turn our attention to the Order of Lastday Events and see why I had realized Rev.16:15-16 is the Turning Point!!
Jesus had both in mind in Matt.24:33-34; Mark 13:30 and Luke 21:32 regarding events of the final generation and Lastday!!!
