Most know of this time frame as the MILLENNIUM AGE. Yet most do not know that MILLI is Greek for one thousand, nor what happens during, and to whom this happens to, agree?
So let's begin with one of Christ most important promise, and the most dramatic, as He was to Ascend just moments latter, in the clouds.
John 14:1-3. " Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
1 Thessalonians 5:11. "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."
Acts 1:9-11. "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven".
NOTE: Perhaps you have heard this old joke, The Atheist body in his gasket, "A body all dressed up with no place to go?" You see those in Christ, have a mansion awaiting for them, as well as all those in Jesus and Jesus Himself, 4 ever, post 2 ND Advent!
PASQELL' S WAGER: This French mathematician, whose work created the Tables of Probability on which all insurance rates are based. His wager went like this...
Either God exists or He does not, that's a 50 % bet, either way.
So to cast a bet on God, costs us nothing
So, what's the Prize? Life ever after
So, what's the cost of our ignoring Him? Death ever after
That's the nuts and bolts of his equation, God either is or is NOT, but with the changes HE created within me, and all that He has done for me and my house, HE IS, and HE IS TRUE, AND TRUTH, all wrapped up in LOVE. A Love that is beyond Human understanding!
Note: One of Satan's most successful deceptions, being at death we don't really die, we go right to heaven; from...
Genesis 3:4. "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"
Note: Sadly many have bought into this, Satan' s lie totally, and disbelieve God's Ye shall surely die.. Gen.2:17, so much so that many Pastors and Priests teach this Satan lie as truth! [see blog "Where are the Dead?']
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words"
Note Both the righteous living and the dead shall meet Jesus in air. {His feet shall in no way touch earth's surface at this time! Satan as the Angel of Light, shall walk on earth, being visible to all. But turn away, unless you want to join him in the fire, the Lake of Fire. [2 Thes.2:1-11. Satan' s first on earth]
John 5:28-29. "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
Note: There shall be TWO (2) Resurrections, the first unto the resurrection of life, the second, 2nd, unto the resurrection of damnation, these shall join Satan in the Lake of Fire, to be consumed and reduced to ashes quickly.
2 Thessalonians 1:10. "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."
Note: At that time, the Just shall join with Christ in the air, but the unjust shall be destroyed by the brightness of His Coming Glory! Sin nor sinners can NOT exist within His Glory and Presence.
Revelation 19:11-12. "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself."
Note: As The Conquering KING of Kings leading the armies of heaven, Jesus will redeem His own. The wicked or unrighteous will be destroyed by the brightness of His Glory.
Revelation 20:1-2. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
Note: Bound, not by iron chains, but by circumstance, he has none, to deceive, while here on this earth, with no sun nor moon, no light, just total darkness, and the dead unjust, unburied, as neither Satan nor his fallen angels will bother to bury them, this will be for a 1,000 years. Yet it will not change Satan' s heart.
Luke 17:37. "And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."
Note: The why for Vs 37 can be found in Vss 33-36 below.
Luke 17:33-36. "Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left"
2 Peter 2:4. "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;"
Revelation 20:1. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. "
Genesis 1:2. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Ecclesiastes 1:9. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun"
Note: bottomless pit, in the oldest, most original manuscripts the word here is the Grk, Abusos, [our abyss] but please know the Hebrew equivalent is without form and void as to-huw va bohuh.Many teach, that the next passage is another view of the Noah 's Flood but there were then 8 human survivors right?
Jeremiah 4:23-27. "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."
Note: For all who doubt, that the unjust will not die, at the 2ND Advent, or that Satan and his Angels will bury them, read this......
Jeremiah 25:33. "And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground"
Note: I hope and pray that each of you, will take this as serious as a heart attack!. Unless you believe Satan's story perpetuated by men, that life began all by and of itself, and that we are but mere accidents, and the Aunts and Uncles of Apes! {By the way do YOU KNOW that we share some 96% of DNA with a common slug? Or 75% of Celery? Can you not see that DNA are the Creator' s "Building Blocks:, found all all life forms?]
Revelation 20:4. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped 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"
Note: Please read Daniel 3 about an image the King had made, [perhaps in his mind, he was showing the world who was boss, he was and not God?] of himself out of gold, at 60 cubit x 6 cubits is size. (18 inches in a cubit)! Plus the Mark of the Beast, meaning whom each of us serves, either, God or man! That is plainly visible as to which day one goes to Corporate Worship, God's Day or Men' s day!
1 Corinthians 6:2. "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
Note: At this time, ALL in Christ, shall be perfected off mind and heart, to judge and to learn that God' s Judgements where, righteous and correct, plus we shall learn the why our loved so and so, is not with us!
Revelation 20:5."But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished......."
Then after the 1,000 years we have......
Revelation 20:7." And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"
Note: Satan has once more people whom he can deceive, thus released from his circumstantial prison to lead the resurrected wicked for a final attack, {Perhaps Satan will attempt to reach and eat from the Tree of life?}
Revelation 20:9. "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
Note: Many ask, what about the eternal fire, the wicked are in and their smoke rises for ever and ever? Is this not eternal punishments?
Revelation 20:10. "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Note: How long will a human body, still be alive and functioning, in a fire set to reduce them to ashes? SULFUR, brimstone or burning stone, boils at 444.6 C and melts at 118.7 C Biblical use as in Sodom, whose fires were to burn forever, are they still burning today? No, it means that nothing will put out the fire until the job is done completely!
Let's face it, people, there shall be just ones, in Heaven whose loved ones are unjust, thus perished, now if they are being tormented forever, and their loved know this, how can this possibly be still heavenly?
Revelation 21:1-3. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God."
Note: This is the Very First time human eyes will see God' s Creative powers at work, as He reproduces the Garden of Eden, all across the whole earth! YES, THIS EARTH! By the way, this City size is just about the same size as the State of Oregon, Rev.21:16 or about 375 miles on each sided, and as high as it's wide!
Isaiah 65:22. "They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."
Note: Surprised that life in Heaven is shown in the O.T.? Or that we will NOT be as fat little beings strumming a harp, and sitting on clouds? Remember with 24 hrs of daylight, and our Glorious Bodies, that needs no sleep, nor rest, and our minds, which science says we use but 8-12 % of it, will now be of 100% of use! To learn, all there is for us to learn, to travel through out the Universe!
JESUS CHRIST SAID: John 14:1-3."Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

9. REVELATION'' S SECRET TO A WHOLE NEW LIFE.
Revelation 1:5 . "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
NOTE: Baptism, the full immersion kind, is a Public Statement and a Visible Symbol that we accept that we are washed in the Blood of Christ; and symbol of our commitment, loyalty and allegiance to Jesus Christ, as our Personal Savior and Lord of our life"
Note 2: Not being Baptized, as was the believing prisoner on the Cross next to Christ, who said, "I tell you, this day, that you'll be with me in paradise.Please note the commas locations. Remember the NO price too high, telegram of years ago should have read No, price too high? There were only straight line words, no verses, no paragraphs nor marks of any type, present. This was all added in the Middle Ages!
Mark 16:1. " He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
NOTE: This verse gives no room for argument, but one...accept as written, either..... yes or no!
John 3:5. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
Note; Jesus answered a specific question on the "Born Again" topic, when faced with "How can a man enter again into his mother's womb", that's what Baptism symbolizes, Born from Above.To be placed under water, symbolic death, and to rise up out, being symbolic of re-birth, a new creature, and the old is dead and buried, This is also the why sprinkling will not do, nor flower petals and so forth.
Note 2: It also must be said, that a person MUST be to an age of accountability, to know the what, the why, and for whom the baptism is done, thus baby Baptism is wrong, Dedication or Christening is not Baptism.
Ephesians 4:5. "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
Note: Then why do we have 100's of diverse denominations today? In a word MEN!
During the intense Protestant beginnings We had Martin Luther's Lutherans
We had Calvin's ideas, the Knox Baptists and the Anabaptist's . And each had doctrines the others did not, and that created, over time, further splits..
John 10:27. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
Note: It is beyond any human to know, another' s heart, but God knows each heart!
Matthew 3:13-17. "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Note: Jesus was an adult when Baptized in the Jordan River.There must be enough water depth, for total submersion.
John 3:23. "And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized."
Mark 1:9-10. "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:"
Note: can or should men try to improve on the example set by Christ? YES or NO?
Acts 8:39. "And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing."
Note: both went into the water, and Phillip baptized the eunuch by immersion.
Colossians 2:12. "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead"
Note: in Baptism we are symbolically 'buried' with Christ, and all believers shall live again with Jesus, just as HE rose from the grave with a Glorious body, so shall all the just.
Romans 6:3-6 . "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin."
Note: Baptism, a symbol of the Resurrection, represents death and the burial of the old life and ways, and the emergence to a new life in Jesus Christ. This is the why Christ is central, and Mary can NOT displace him, with human Tradition, no matter how old, or how long observed, it's still only of men!
Acts 2:38. "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
Note: Perhaps YOU, dear reader, have asked "Why is this important?" Fair Question, this is an Election year, this November,{ as this is written} and you think one vote, perhaps YOURS, will be the deciding vote? Read on......>
Colossians 1:16-17. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
Note: Who remembers science stating that they know not why the atom exists, it, by laws of science should NOT exist, but fly apart? Of course science also holds that the Bumble Bee should NOT be able to fly, right? {Guees they don't speak "BEE" so they can tell them, right?}
Please refer back to the last sentence in the above Bible passage, "....and by Him all things consist."
Would you be interested to learn that this Greek word consist, actually is equivalent of our holds to- gether? ALL THINGS!
Mark 16:16. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
Note: The Bible does not always show male and female, thus he included the she! Now do you read of anyone being excluded as believers? NO!
.Acts 2:41-42. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
Note: They that received His word, with gladness were Baptized. They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine and instructions.{Growing in His Word, by daily study}
Matthew 28:19-20. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Note: Jesus gave authority to baptize only to His disciples who taught each aspect of truth as He commanded it. He commissioned His disciples, who in turn taught all of His command, to baptize.
1 Corinthians 12:13. "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."
Note: Baptism in INTO the body which is the Church.
Acts 2:46-47. "And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved"
Acts 22:16. "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Now dear reader, I know not about you, but this verse to me, lifted a heavy burden from me!

#8 Revelation Reveals History' s Greatest Hoax.
Revelation does indeed reveal the Greatest Hoax in History, that has been perpetrated upon Human kind!
This hoax did NOT come swiftly, but was deliberately installed very slowly over many generations, being applied over a near 300 year span of time.
You might have just asked the WHY of slow pace, right?
Would YOU, reader, agree that on the whole, most people, resist change? For instance, if you, have been brought up, to believe A TRUTH, and then out of blue, here comes one that says, and shows you, from a considered a very reliable source, that what you have accepted as truth, is nothing but human introduced error, how would that make you feel?
Now most of you, know that Satan's also known as the Deceiver, right? He will steal, if you allow him, your heritage, and this puts you in the lost group, that's to be cast into the Lake of Fire's one and only time its used, thus in effect killing all those who take his word. That is the actions of a thief, stealing human inheritance with Jesus.
Happily YOU and Jesus, as a team, Satan is totally blocked from deceiving you, because YOU have taken the time to stud, to learn, with prayers, asking for wisdom to fully understand, His Word, as HE would have YOU do!
That's the sole purpose of these Revelation Series you have found here! But enough of my words....
Revelation 12:9. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"
Note: deceived how much of the world?
Malachi 3:6. "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
Note: from #7 you have learned that Satan and his, changed the Biblical day for worship, from the seventh day, to the first day of the week, right? Now did Jesus keep the Sabbath?
Hebrews 13:8. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
NOTE Do YOU agree with the above verse YES or NO? So Jesus did NOT change the Sabbath day.
Acts 5:29. "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men"
Note: As you can see this change is not Biblical , thus not sound , then it must be man o0r men who effected this change agree?
Exodus 31:18. "And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God"
Note: IF, you reader, wanted to write anything, and meant it to be permanent, What material would you chose, to use? Paper or Stone?.
Acts 13:42-44. "And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God."
Note: Did or did not Paul keep the Lord's Sabbath day? But look at what was predicted to enter into the church body.....
Acts 20:28-31. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears."
Note: every wonder where the term Wolves in sheep clothing came from?
COMPARING REVELATION 13:1,2 WITH DANIEL 7:2,3,14.
Revelation 13:1-2. "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. 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."
Daniel 7:2-3. "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another."
Daniel 7:1. " And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Note: Remember that Daniel was shown the future thus looking ahead, while John here is shown the past, thus looking back int time.
Please take note: This is NOT against any persons, but a Kingdom, a System of Power, because God has many faithful sheep in many other folds, but it the short months before Christ's return, they shall hear and obey this call ...
Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Head of Gold ~ Babylon~ symbolized by the Winged Lion
Chest/Arms of Silver~Medo-Persia~ Bear
Thighs of Bronze~ Greece~ Leopard ~4 Heads/Wings
Legs of Iron~ Rome~Dragon
Feet of Iron and Clay~ Divided Europe~ Ten Horns.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LITTLE HORN:
1. This little horn would, "come up amongst them"
Daniel 7:8. "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things"
2. But would" arise {come] after the ten horns.." "..there came up among them.." [They had come already]
3. With "Eyes of a man.." [this horn would be a man, at its head] When a horn also has a crown it means its power is over two areas of human life...
4. Diverse- Different from all the rest, have both religio- political powers. Dan 7:24
Daniel 7:24. "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings"
5. Think to change God's Laws. Dan7:25
Daniel 7:25."And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
Note: "times, time and a half time" =3.5 times . Time= one =one year Ezekiel . 4:6 + Numbers 14:34
Using the Hebrew 30 day months= 30x12=360 [time] x times= x2= 720x1/2= 1/2 of 360=180= 720+ 180= 1260days/years in total power but WHAT WAS THE BEGIN DATE?
6. Dan. 7:24~ "...he shall subdue three kings.." They were 1. Heruli, 2. The Vandals, 3. Ostrogoths, who were all totally wiped out, by 538 A.D, when this power system held absolute power.
7. Dan.7:25 "..speak pompous words against the Most High.." *Note Below*
8. Dan. 7:25 "...persecute the saints of the Most High.."
Note: Historians agree that between 50-150 million people, lost their lives during the Dark Ages as found in these books:
"The History of the Reformation" by D'Aubigne
" History of Europe by Qualbin
" Foxe' s Book of Martyrs" by Foxe
"Short stories of the Reformation", by Short
"Here I stand" by Bainton
Plus just look all this up on the web under Inquisition,Church Persecutions, did you know the last Inquisition Court was forced to close its doors only in 1890's in Peru?
9 Dan2:21 It is
God who "...removes kings and raises up kings..' yet this Little Horn took this upon itself, in its attempt to change history.
10. ".. think to change laws #2... This power tells all to them all are to confess their sins, thus confess to man!
1 John 1:7-9. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
11 This power insist that all must speak to and use a woman as the mediator, named Mary Queen of Heaven
1 Timothy 2:5. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
Well that's 11 identifying characteristics, that have come directly from God's Word, but here's some of this system's own words, and I give them thanks for being honest about it!
*NOTE N.B.* Excerpts from Prompta Bibliothec Vol. V1.pp.25-29.
This is an Catholic Encyclopedia " The Pope is as it were so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God."
"The Pope is as it were, God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief of kings, having plentitude of power,. to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earth but also of the heavenly kingdom."
WOW! Speaking of having a big I complex, to put self on equal footing with God, that takes gallons of gall!
Yet it gets better or worse, depending upon where one stands.
"The Pope is of so great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws."
Putting all these Bible Markers in place they can fit NO other Power System than the Papacy agree?
IN May 24th, 1995 Pope John Paul 11, publicly issued a world apology for the persecuting role of the Church during this time frame!
Note: His statement only proves the validity of this info, of Europe' s history, agree?
concerning the "thinks to change laws... " Dan7:25. This is this system's answer....
Prompta Bibiotheca Vol,V1, pp. 25-29.
"The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God."
Note: For all who just said, "So What?"
In the Converts Book of Catechism , even when compared to their Douay Bible, God's entire Second Commandment has bee left out, yet all do know there's 10 Laws, so they SPLIT the 10th into two parts!
Exodus 20:2-4. "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
NOTE: "... thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven..."
I wonder, just how many Crosses with the Image of Christ on it, has been sold and used with this System's blessings! Plus look at all the "saints" in St Peter's in Rome!
Again lets see their words, in "The Catholic Mirror" September 1893
"The catholic Church for more than one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday."
"Catholic Encyclopedia", Vol 4,p. 153
"The Church... after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or the seventh day of the week, to the first, made the third commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's day."
Note: I am grateful for their honesty, aren't YOU? But how does this fit with the next verses?
Revelation 14:7. "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Note: I ask YOU reader, how does man's changing God's Laws, bring Honor to God? or the next verse?
Revelation 14:12. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
As anyone can see, this is using God's Word, directly from the KJV Bible, and this system's own words from their own publications, and my own NOTE, kept to a minimum as best as I am able.
YOUR RESPONSE: Do YOU choose to give the LORD your love and obedience because of love, and loyalty as a sign of your deep devotion for Him and your desire to be faithful to His laws rather than the commandments of mortal men?

# 7. Revelation's Eternal Sign in Earth' s LAST Conflctict.
HOW MANY PEOPLE, SADLY, HAVE NOT A CLUE THAT THE FOLLOWING IS A CALL TO WORSHIP OUR CREATOR, BY HIS USING WORDS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM EXODUS 20:11, THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT?
Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Note: Some, due to their not knowing, are put off, by this word fear, but when this word is used in connection with our relationship with our Heavenly Father, the Hebrew word used is closer to our REVERE, or even in AWE, because He is LOVE, and all who love Him, need not ever fear Him. Others, well they are lost! Basically there's but two groups of people, the saved and the lost, there's no in between.
{In fact at the time of the end there 'll be only four (4) types of people 1: The Living Just and, 2. the living unjust. 3. The Dead just and the 4. the dead Unjust.}
Revelation 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."
NOTE: We, each one of us is, or has been, a Created being by HIS hand, as it is from God that we receive the "Breath of Life", and no science can prove nor show different, because God is above Science, as He is The ONE who created all the so-called Natural Laws, that controls all movements in the Universe.
Note: For all those still hung-up on evolution, can YOU name the PhD that recorded the very beginnings of life?
NO? None can right? Thus all it is, is a human Assumption, which is next door, to the educated guess!
Ephesians 3:9. "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
Note: "....who created all things by Jesus Christ" WHO is this but God the Father? Yet Jesus was the Active Agent in the Creation. Thus, Revelation's call to worship the Creator is a call to give honor to Jesus.
Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it"
Note: We worship Him as The Creator, by keeping HIS SABBATHS, a call given before the coming of Christ! [See opening verses Rev.14:6,7.}
NOTE: but. . .but was this not for the Jews ONLY?
Mark 2:27 . "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made"
Note: From earth's first beginnings to the first humans was but a 6 by 24 hour.span of time, but from Eden to the first mention of the word Jew, or Jews, is in the Book of Ruth, some 2300 years latter. Thus, well before any Jew was born! This is nothing more, than more of the "Traditions of men" in response to Satan's wish for worship to him on Sundays!
Mark 2:28. "Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Note: How can man or men make a Common day holy, and make a holy day common? Can man really change God's Law, that HE wrote into stone?
Ezekiel 20:12. "Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them"
Ezekiel 20:20. "And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Note: Hallow, to keep holy, and to whom do the Sabbath's belong to? Who is speaking the "MY SABBATHS?" but God Himself? So why take the words of men over the words of GOD, when men can't save self. let alone YOU?
Luke 4:16. "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
Note:: does this sound to YOU, that Christ is getting ready to announce a change in the day of the Sabbath here? Nor is there ANY OTHER verse that does this, period. It's all human "Traditions"!
Matthew 24:20. "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"
Note: Christ foretold, of this event, Pagan Rome's total destruction of Judah, as a nation, this event is history as of 70A.D.Does this not show that HE expected His own to still keep His Sabbaths? No mention about FIRST DAY CREATION nor His Resurrection the day AFTER SABBATH!
Acts 13:42-44. "And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God."
Note: This was Paul, who, and Peter, wrote their parts as directed by the3 Holy Spirit, near the end of the First Century A.D. in and around 85-90 AD, and they preached and kept God's Sabbaths!
Acts 16:13. "And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither."
Note: This was a mix of both Jew and Gentile, that met for worship, as there was yet no built building for a Church.
Revelation 1:10. "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"
Note: as with the above note, here at the end of the first 100 years A.D. the Lord' s Day was held as Holy, although this verse does not make it clear the next do. ....
Matthew 12:8. "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
Mark 2:27-28. "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Luke 6:5. "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Note: IF the Lord' s Day IS The Sabbath, then the Sabbath must be the Lord' s day. agree?
Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Luke 6:5. "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
Note: IF the Lord' s Day IS The Sabbath, then the Sabbath must be the Lord' s day. agree?
Note: Still in doubt about the Seventh day Sabbath? Re-read Gen 2:1: 1-3 at the top of this post.
Luke 23:54-56. "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
Luke 24:1. "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them"
Note:The last three verses, lists three days in succession!
1. The Day Christ died-being the Preparation day-Friday, to prepare foods and home for the Sabbath
2. Sabbath, the Day Jesus rested- Sabbathed, in the Tomb- Saturday
3. The First day- SUNDAY, the Venerable day of the Sun, His Resurrection day.
Here the Holy Bible gives its names to the DAY before the Sabbath, and the DAY after the Sabbath, therefore the day in the middle MUST BE THE SABBATH DAY, YES OR NO?
Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
NOTE: Now Christ does not, did not ever change, who is left to change it other than Satan, who hates the Sabbath, because it honors the Creator, and men or man? Either way who but Jesus is able to forgive sin and save YOU AND ME?
What have all those fully in Jesus, have to look forwards to...?
Isaiah 66:22-23. "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."
Since Jesus is YOUR Savior, Your Lord and YOUR Master, do YOU lovingly choose to obey Him by Keeping His Sabbath holy? YES? or NO?

6b. REVELATION' S ANSWER FOR SOCIETY' S CRUMBLING MORAL VALUES.
LESSON #6b."REVELATION'S ANSWER FOR SOCIETY'S CRUMBLING MORALS.
ONE, of the oft heard explanations, "Well it's all relative, because there are no absolutes, in right and wrong, nor in truth. It all relative to a person at that point in time and place!"
I've oft thought that they who use this must think that well today 1+1=2, here and now but that may change elsewhere, or tomorrow! HUH? If , this equates Societal Thinking, then we all know the why for our news headlines, right?
Wrong is always wrong, and right is right always everywhere!AGREE?
Proverbs 26:26. "Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation."
Revelation 14:7. "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Note: much of this verse, indeed of the whole book of Revelations, just over half,. comes from the Old Book, as this finds the words from Exodus 20:11.{Q: What does this do for the New Testament only, Christians?}
Psalms 111:7-8. "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness."
Note: There's a great reward for each person, that keeps His Laws! Just read on.....
Psalms 19:11. "Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."
Romans 6:14. "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
Note: We are not "under the Law" as a means of Salvation, this comes to those with believing faith, as a gift from Our Father. Salvation comes totally and always by Grace!....>
Ephesians 2:8. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
Note: because we, all with believing faith/trust, have God's grace, by breaking His law this become a DIS- Grace!
Romans 6:15. "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid"
Romans 6:14. "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.."
Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Note: "...to whom ye yield yourselves..." All those who yield, or obey, to what and or those who teach not according to God's Word, are under Satan's powers! Just read Exodus 20, it's our "Mirror," to check self for any "dirt"/sins! If we do, act or worship outside of the Bible, who in truth, do we worship? YOUR ANSWER?
1 John 3:4. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
James 2:10. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
NOTE: Would it come as a surprise to you Reader, if you are told that most of Christianity only observes 9 , yes only nine of the ten Commandments? Gen. 2:1-3, and, Exodus 20:8-11. God said MY Sabbath in: Exodus 31:13, Leviticus 19:3,26:2, Isaiah 56:4, Ezekiel 20:12 and Matt 12:8 and HE id's The Day in 28:1Yet many think that man can, and did change this,as being A OK!
Matthew 28:1. "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. "
Note: From ONE CROSS, ONE SAVIOR, and ONE BOOK, we have how many "Denominations"?
IF. . .if YOU. . .look up in College sized dictionary, under this word find the ROOT Meaning, being "DENOMINATOR", now to get a denominator we must divide, as in math, agree? Who or what power is forever trying to divide men from God? Who but Satan and all his?
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
Note: God gave us His Word, and all are able to understand it, IF with prayer one asks for the wisdom to understand, and how to learn! Sadly most do not do this, thus they have not the love for truth, and shall believe the lies of men, thus 100's of "Denominations"! You ask, perhaps, "Why should I care?"....
Isaiah 59:1-2. "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
Note: "WHY should this matter to YOU?"...;
John 8:12. "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life"
Note: What think YOU, would be the human condition, without the light of life? A: DEATH, eternal. They shall share Satan's fate, if not to the same intensity.
Romans 3:28-31. "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
Note: The law, is just that, a Sign Post, if you will, the same as man's "Stop Signs", they never stop a car, until the driver's apply the brakes, ditto for speed limits, agree? Drivers MUST be willing to obey traffic signs, thus the "Circumcision" of the heart, means only our willingness to obey based upon our love for our Savior!
GOD uses only LOVE and TRUTH, Satan uses everything but! Because love always leads to obedience...;
John 14:15. "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
Note: The very foundation of God's Governance is LOVE! read John 3:16.
Hebrews 8:10. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"
NOTE: THIS is the ONLY way whereby a person, is able to fully obey all LAWS, because God will write them into our hearts/minds! What IS the opposite of this?....
1 John 2:4-5. "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."
NOTE: Do YOU, reader, agree, that as our Maker, HE has the right to set the rules? For in life, we ARE HIS GUESTS, thus as our Host, He sets up our arrangements, as all gracious hosts should, agree?
Psalms 40:8. "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."
Note David, if you've read his story, you know his path was seldom without boulders, agree?
Revelation 14:12. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus"
Note: When Christ returns, these, shall be the ONLY ones still living! The other camp of non-believers have perished, by the Glory of His Coming! Accept this yes or no, nobody' s beliefs, shall change that which shall be! More than 3/4 of all Prophecy has come as written, and many shall still not accept Him! YOU-----?
Revelation 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
NOTE: REMNANT, a left over piece from the Original, those who believe and follow Jesus, as the early Church did! They accepted and followed the Holy Bible, as the sole Word of God! Just as did the faithful, through the ages!
All those who from His word and their prayers, have come to know Jesus, and thus love Him, are willingly obedient and accept the principle of His laws as the guide of their life,...... IS THIS YOU?

ONE, of the oft heard explanations, "Well it's all relative, because there are no absolutes, in right and wrong, nor in truth. It all relative to a person at that point in time and place!"
I've oft thought that they who use this must think that well today 1+1=2, here and now but that may change elsewhere, or tomorrow! HUH? If , this equates Societal Thinking, then we all know the why for our news headlines, right?
Wrong is always wrong, and right is right always everywhere!AGREE?
Proverbs 26:26. "Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation."
Revelation 14:7. "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Note: much of this verse, indeed of the whole book of Revelations, just over half,. comes from the Old Book, as this finds the words from Exodus 20:11.{Q: What does this do for the New Testament only, Christians?}
Psalms 111:7-8. "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness."
Note: There's a great reward for each person, that keeps His Laws! Just read on.....
Psalms 19:11. "Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."
Romans 6:14. "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
Note: We are not "under the Law" as a means of Salvation, this comes to those with believing faith, as a gift from Our Father. Salvation comes totally and always by Grace!....>
Ephesians 2:8. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
Note: because we, all with believing faith/trust, have God's grace, by breaking His law this become a DIS- Grace!
Romans 6:15. "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid"
Romans 6:14. "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.."
Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Note: "...to whom ye yield yourselves..." All those who yield, or obey, to what and or those who teach not according to God's Word, are under Satan's powers! Just read Exodus 20, it's our "Mirror," to check self for any "dirt"/sins! If we do, act or worship outside of the Bible, who in truth, do we worship? YOUR ANSWER?
1 John 3:4. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
James 2:10. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
NOTE: Would it come as a surprise to you Reader, if you are told that most of Christianity only observes 9 , yes only nine of the ten Commandments? Gen. 2:1-3, and, Exodus 20:8-11. God said MY Sabbath in: Exodus 31:13, Leviticus 19:3,26:2, Isaiah 56:4, Ezekiel 20:12 and Matt 12:8 and HE id's The Day in 28:1Yet many think that man can, and did change this,as being A OK!
Matthew 28:1. "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. "
Note: From ONE CROSS, ONE SAVIOR, and ONE BOOK, we have how many "Denominations"?
IF. . .if YOU. . .look up in College sized dictionary, under this word find the ROOT Meaning, being "DENOMINATOR", now to get a denominator we must divide, as in math, agree? Who or what power is forever trying to divide men from God? Who but Satan and all his?

6A REVELATION'S ANSWER FOR HUMAN SUFFERING.
LESSON 6a
REVELATION' S ANSWER FOR HUMAN SUFFERING.
Most of human suffering is due to our own personal choices, we make, as to our life-style, in foods we eat, amounts, our exercise and sleep habits, as of course, What we choose to believe, thus serve! If anyone thinks a alcoholic does not serve the god of booze, they are not observant. Nor those bound with any other of Satan's chains! Why is this, as God is love? He gave us a free-will, to make our choices.
1 John 4:8. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
NOTE: If God is love, why all the hate and evil in this world?
Matthew 13:24-28. "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?"
Note: Who but Satan is the enemy? He does the sowing. No, he can't read minds, but he has patient observers, who knows each of us better than we know self, thus they and he know, what "Bait to use to hook us, and to his will!"
BUT YOU say, " no way Jose'" he ain't got me to bite his hook, right? OK, so then you have not EVER sinned, thus never broken any of the God's Commandments, not even in the spirit of the law? Never hated another? Never looked with lust in your heart at a beautiful woman/man, not your spouse? Never said God's name in vain [cussed?} Then congrads .YOU are only the second perfect human, Christ was the first!
Isaiah 14:12-14. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"
Note: This is Satan's "I" disease, as in me myself and I syndrome.
Revelation 12:7-9. "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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"
Note: Time line for this passage is best suited in the beginning of the 3rd chapter of Genesis! Now Satan deceived how much of the world? Part or ALL?
.Luke 10:18. "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
NOTE: Yes, God did create the angel who by his thoughts and actions became Satan, no longer perfect.
Ezekiel 28:15. "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
Note:"Iniquity most of the time this can be translated to mean lawlessness, as God purpose for the Law was to reveal sin, or lawlessness! Much like a mirror shows us the dirt on our faces.
Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Note: many ask, "Who is this US? In the "Let us make man in our image"? They are the Three Members of the Godhead, which is best understood, as the Three Offices of God the Father, of God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! All working as ONE, with the two allowing the Father to take the lead.
John 17:11. "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.'
Note: Please to expand upon this idea, read all of John17 th chapter, I will be a blessing unto you!
Genesis 3:1-7. "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, {VS4}Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Note: VS 4, is the Bible's first Recorded lie, Satan changed whole meaning of God, by his insertion of the one word, NOT, and most of earth believed this, that our death does not mean death, but only another form of existence! Yet this finds no fit in God' s Word! Thus both Adam and Eve rebelled against God, believing Satan's lie over God's truth! Thus sin entered into the world! Why is this bad? Read on......
Isaiah 59:1-2. "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
Note: Sin separates the sinner from God, who is the ONLY source of life! But you may think, "So what?"
Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Jeremiah 17:9. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Romans 8:7. " Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be"
Note: If you have heard or read any "News" of late, these last two verses, should tell you the why of evils..
Romans 5:12. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
Note: Christ so loved us all, that He paid the price we are not able.
Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Note: Whom do you obey God or men, and their Traditions?
Hebrews 2:15-18. "And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."
Romans 5:17-19. "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
Note: The Roman leaders in Jerusalem, thought Jesus had lost, the Church leadership, but for a few, thought He had lost, Satan and his rejoiced thinking they'd won, Yet and thankfully so, Jesus turned this apparent defeat into victory, at His resurrection! It is both His sinless life, and His death for all sin, that HE Jesus made Redemption even possible, yet only only for those willing, with love to obey.His resurrection proved for us that in HIM there's live for us after death, but only by His Resurrecting Powers!
Romans 3:24. "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
Note: this is only possible in Jesus Christ, and not no other being, not even the Father, Nor Mary!
That. saved by Mary, is nothing more than the traditions of men, that and $10.00 will get you a Latte at Starbucks!
Romans 3:25. "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Note Propitiation. as in payment in full.
Isaiah 41:13. "For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Are your problems bigger than Jesus Christ? They can't be! He formed the whole Cosmos! But what about Satan and sins, will they ever end?
Ezekiel 28:17-18. "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."
NOTE: Can anything still be said to exist, if they, or it, are reduced to ashes? NO! This is the 2nd Death, more on this latter.
Revelation 21:1-5. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And 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"
Note: are we sure none this evil will ever come again?
Nahum 1:9. "What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time"
Revelation 1:5-6. "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
Note: When anyone wholly accepts Christ's love, and Him as their personal Savior, with love, them the Father sees only His own Son's righteousness and not us, and for our confessed and repentant sins He has has forgotten, and looks only to His Son, IN YOU AND ME!
Revelation 1:20. "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."
Note: Christ walks walks among us, in all the ages of men, unseen, by all.
Revelation 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."
Note: Jesus Christ is spoken of as a Lamb some 27 times in Revelation! As in the Lamb slain.
Revelation 17:14. "These 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."
Note: Trails in the time of the end? YES, will some believers lose their lives? Yes, but all those, in Christ, shall live again with Jesus! Because He triumphs over the Dragon, the Beast and fallen Babylon.
1 John 4:8-9. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
WHY is this. . . . so? Read.....
Genesis 1:27-31. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
Will you accept Jesus as Your Savior?

And the serpent said unto the woman, {VS4}Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Note: VS 4, is the Bible's first Recorded lie, Satan changed whole meaning of God, by his insertion of the one word, NOT, and most of earth believed this, that our death does not mean death, but only another form of existence! Yet this finds no fit in God' s Word! Thus both Adam and Eve rebelled against God, believing Satan's lie over God's truth! Thus sin entered into the world! Why is this bad? Read on......
Isaiah 59:1-2. "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
Note: Sin separates the sinner from God, who is the ONLY source of life! But you may think, "So what?"
Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Jeremiah 17:9. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Romans 8:7. " Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be"
Note: If you have heard or read any "News" of late, these last two verses, should tell you the why of evils..
Romans 5:12. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
Note: Christ so loved us all, that He paid the price we are not able.
Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
Note: Whom do you obey God or men, and their Traditions?
Hebrews 2:15-18. "And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."
Romans 5:17-19. "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
Note: The Roman leaders in Jerusalem, thought Jesus had lost, the Church leadership, but for a few, thought He had lost, Satan and his rejoiced thinking they'd won, Yet and thankfully so, Jesus turned this apparent defeat into victory, at His resurrection! It is both His sinless life, and His death for all sin, that HE Jesus made Redemption even possible, yet only only for those willing, with love to obey.His resurrection proved for us that in HIM there's live for us after death, but only by His Resurrecting Powers!
Romans 3:24. "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
Note: this is only possible in Jesus Christ, and not no other being, not even the Father, Nor Mary!
That. saved by Mary, is nothing more than the traditions of men, that and $10.00 will get you a Latte at Starbucks!
Romans 3:25. "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Note Propitiation. as in payment in full.
Isaiah 41:13. "For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Are your problems bigger than Jesus Christ? They can't be! He formed the whole Cosmos! But what about Satan and sins, will they ever end?
Ezekiel 28:17-18. "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."
NOTE: Can anything still be said to exist, if they, or it, are reduced to ashes? NO! This is the 2nd Death, more on this latter.
Revelation 21:1-5. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And 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"
Note: are we sure none this evil will ever come again?
Nahum 1:9. "What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time"
Revelation 1:5-6. "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
Note: When anyone wholly accepts Christ's love, and Him as their personal Savior, with love, them the Father sees only His own Son's righteousness and not us, and for our confessed and repentant sins He has has forgotten, and looks only to His Son, IN YOU AND ME!
Revelation 1:20. "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."
Note: Christ walks walks among us, in all the ages of men, unseen, by all.
Revelation 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."
Note: Jesus Christ is spoken of as a Lamb some 27 times in Revelation! As in the Lamb slain.
Revelation 17:14. "These 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."
Note: Trails in the time of the end? YES, will some believers lose their lives? Yes, but all those, in Christ, shall live again with Jesus! Because He triumphs over the Dragon, the Beast and fallen Babylon.
1 John 4:8-9. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
WHY is this. . . . so? Read.....
Genesis 1:27-31. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
Will you accept Jesus as Your Savior?

# 5. Revelations Final Judgment
Lesson 5. REVELATION' S FINAL JUDGMENT.
Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Note: Those who claim Christ, and allow Him to rule their heart, are those who will shout the message of His Soon Return to end Probation and Judgement is closed and done!
Revelation 22:12. "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
Note: Would YOU agree, that in order for any reward to be granted, a judgment MUST have already taken place? Because when HE returns in His full Glory, the wicked and the earth's surface shall both be destroyed, therefore some judgment MUST have been rendered, to decide who is just and who is not!
Jeremiah 4:24-25. "I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled."
Note: Many area taught, this passage must be of the Flood, but it had 8 Adamic souls survive in the Ark, remember? This verse "....there was no man..." THIS Is at the point of Christ's return!
Jeremiah 4:27-28. "For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it"
Note: This verse is earth's condition during the 1,000 years, and this is where Satan and his angels are held, in darkness, without sun, nor moon, nor even star shine, for light! {Rev.20:2}
Matthew 12:36. "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."
Note: Jesus gave a verbal picture of Judgment as future, in His time on earth.
Acts 24:25. "And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee."
Note: Is there really a MORE CONVENIENT TIME? What about the person that died of a heart attack, this morning? Or the teen that was hit by a drunken hit and run driver? Did either of these know their end was near? NO, nor do YOU, right? I want YOU in heaven with Christ and many others!
Daniel 7:9-10. "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."
Note: Daniel was shown the seating of the SUPREME COURT of the Universe' s opening Judgment. When, I know not, and, neither does any other human!
Daniel 8:14. "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
NOTE: This time Prophecy, as shown below, pinpoints when heavenly judgment would take place with the cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary.It is based on the Leviticus Record of Sanctuary procedures, and on Daniel prophecy.
Leviticus 16:29-30. "And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD."
Leviticus 23:27-29 . "Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people"
Note: Once each year, Day of Atonement {AT ONE WITH} the earthly sanctuary was cleansed of all the guilt transferred in by the confessed sins of the Israelites. It was a day of Judgment! At the end of the day the sins of the repentant people were either confessed, forgiven and renounced, or unconfessed, and cherished.sins All Israelites who refused to confess their sins were banished from the camp. {A virtual death sentence, as was the much latter EX-Communications} They were judged. The cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary takes place near the end of this age of flesh men. IT will be and is God' s Final Judgement on sin.
2 Corinthians 5:10. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
NOTE: ALL shall be Judged, By Christ.{Remember he died for our sins, because He loves us all}
Romans 14:12. "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God"
NOTE: Judged by which bases, or what truth?
Revelation 20:12. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
Note: Before YOU holler foul, works can't save us, YOU are correct, but read on
James 2:18-20. "Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
NOTE: Faith, without love is empty, but love gives us the the desire to do works, which MAY be just a smile to one who is in need to see a friendly face! Or to help a neighbor, with a job to great for one person.
Acts 3:19. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
Note: What are our costs in Not confessing or repenting of our sins, all sins?
Revelation 3:5. "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels"
Note: The opposite then must also be true, no confession, no repentance, equals no over comming of sin, they shall be "Blotted Out", within the Revelation's Lake of Fire! .{By the way a QUESTION: Can our lives truly be "Heavenly" if we all can remember our loved ones who where lost"? MY answer: without Biblical back-up, NO!, but look at what the Hebrew word, Blotted out means (yes the New is in Greek, but written by Jews converted to Christians) "As if not ever to have existed" And their memories removed from our minds?}
Hebrews 10:17. "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more"
Note: Will God do this for us also, or will he allow a Mother's love and memory of a lost child to be hers for ever? Please think!
Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit"
NOTE: This is a large part of the purpose for the Cross and His life, freely given for us! He IS the way and by the Cross He is the life for us all! Plus...we overcome condemnation only through Christ! .....>
Hebrews 7:24-25. "But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
Note: "...unchangeable Priesthood..." human priests lived and died, but Christ is eternal!
Daniel 9:20-26. "And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Note: The Angel Gabriel returns to continue the explanation of the vision {Daniel 8:14}, which was interrupted by Daniel's fainting. {Daniel 8:27}

NOTE: Time line shown vertical, due to width limits, but as this is all one prophetic time frame, how can men then take the end or the 70th week, and shove it far in the still future, and others take it far into the past, as coming out from the Greek empire, when the Bible says it [the apostasy] came out of the fourth best, not the third?
Note many teach, and take the 70th week week of this time frame and throw it still today, years into the future, while still others, place this same week, far into the past and out of the Greek empire, both find NO fit in Scripture! Thus it's only of Satan and men!
(1) *--- Ezekiel 4:5. "For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel"
Numbers 14:34.After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise."
Note: both show the one year for a day a day in prophetic time only!

NOTE: Time line shown vertical, due to width limits, but as this is all one prophetic time frame, how can men then take the end or the 70th week, and shove it far in the still future, and others take it far into the past, as coming out from the Greek empire, when the Bible says it [the apostasy] came out of the fourth best, not the third?
Note many teach, and take the 70th week week of this time frame and throw it still today, years into the future, while still others, place this same week, far into the past and out of the Greek empire, both find NO fit in Scripture! Thus it's only of Satan and men!
(1) *--- Ezekiel 4:5. "For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel"
Numbers 14:34.After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise."
Note: both show the one year for a day a day in prophetic time only!
