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

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

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

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

                                WHO IS "THE DRAGON''?

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

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

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

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

                       WHO IS THE BEAST?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      WHO IS THE FALSE PROPHET?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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