Revelations. Introduction.

APOCALYP'TICALLY, by revelation; in the manner of disclosure.

Heb 11:6-7; “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared
an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became
heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,”, As
we see in the Book of Noah, Noah moved upon the word of the Lord, and prepared for
the end of the world, as he knew it. This applies today, as we see many of the
prophecies’ of the Bible being fulfilled. Faith is the key word that we must look at.

Many people have many kinds of faith, faith in husband, wife, government, idols and
even each other. These types of faith are useless, but with a true and lasting faith, we are
able to see things more clearly.
We being warned of God of things not seen as yet, must make the effort to understand
and believe in the Apocalypse to come, and be ready.

Luke 17:24-30, “For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven,
shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his
day.”In this part of the prophecy, the day of the return of Christ to the earth, will be
as swift or even swifter, than it takes the light of a lighting strike to take place.

Why is this so important, for as Satan is the enemy of God, the rapture of the church will
take place, where no one, nor even Satan, will be aware that it has already taken
place. God desires us to believe without signs and wonders. He desires a person to
take Him at His word, as did Noah.

Christianity is based on faith and not by sight. We have not seen Noah, but we still
believe he existed, we have not seen King David, but we still believe he existed, and
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

we have not seen Jesus but we believe He is, The Son of God. Why then, when we
can believe in everything else, cannot we believe in the Revelations of John?
This world is in darkness, financially but most importantly, Spiritually. The spiritual
side of man has become darkness and a waist land. Men have gone after the
darkness for their works are evil and treacherous. Men have gone after doctrines,
not of God but of the imagination of man. There is a judgment coming and a
payday for their wickedness and evil.

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the
LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” Christians are
the light of the world. We have been inhabited by the Holy Spirit of the Lord. We
are in possession of the truth, which was delivered to us by Jesus Christ. We seek
no honor, glory or praise from any man, but from God. We seek only to preach,
teach and warn of the truths of the Gospel.

“The darkness shall cover the earth;” Gross; Unseemly; enormous; shameful; great; as
gross corruptions; gross vices. Darkness; A state of being intellectually clouded;
ignorance. Men have become clouded in their own imaginations and religious cults.
Many say they are the risen savor, many say they are saints sent from God to
prophecy of a new way of living, many say they are prophets, sent by God, who do
not know the Lord nor are know by Him.

We have seen many things occurring in these end days, many of which are the
fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Israel is being surrounded by her enemies, the
middle east is in an up roar, and the financial markets of, not only the United States,
but other countries, are in disarray. Christians are being killed and hunted down,
being beaten by so called religious activates.

“For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.”
Men today, being intellectually clouded, seeking not the righteousness of God. They are
self interested, vain people.

Quote; America remains a deeply religious nation, but a new

survey finds most Americans don’t believe their tradition is the only way to eternal life
— even if the denomination’s teachings say otherwise.
The findings, revealed Monday in a survey of 35,000 adults, can either be taken as a
positive sign of growing religious tolerance, or disturbing evidence that Americans
dismiss or don’t know fundamental teachings of their own faiths. Unquote. Religion

“ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. The darkness and apathy in this
world comes from the influence of Satan and his demons. Many people that say
they don’t believe in God, have been deceived and blinded by the father of lies.
The wars that are occurring in the world today are religious struggles. This struggle is
between unseen forces, spiritual, the force of good against evil. Will evil win over
the good?

The answer is simple is, yes. For a time and have a time, evil will rule
over the peoples of the world and they shall seek to destroy Israel and the remnant
of the Christians believers.
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die,
and death shall flee from them.” In the end of days, after the rapture of the church,
the bowls, horns and cups of Gods vengeance, will be administered throughout the
world. This allegory (Symbolism.) means that each tribulation, plague, is contained
by God until the appropriate time.

The spirit of death will be held in check. This

means that even if a man desires to die, he will not be able to.
The punishment of their lack of belief, and the arrogance of man, will cause great
suffering around the world. Famine, floods, fire, poisoning of the rivers and
streams, along will all manner of tribulation will hit. All this will cause the people
of the world to look for someone to blame. The blame will be directed toward
Israel.

This is Biblical prophecy.

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou
seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” “That whosoever would not seek
the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether
man or woman.” This is also true. In the times of tribulation, the battle of
Armageddon and the last Battle of Christ and Satan, all who refuse to recognize
Jesus as both Lord and Christ, will be put to death. Gods patience with man will be
over.

“But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.” The
generation in which Jesus lived, forsakes Him, delivered Him up for heresy trial, and
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

was found innocent, but still crucified. His generation ignored His message, His deity
and His fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the Messiah.

We are able to be saved by their rejection, this all according to prophecy. There are so
many facts concerning the Messiah, Jesus, that we can’t ignore the truth any longer.
We are, and will be, held accountable for our sin, our rejection or acceptance of
Jesus, as the Son of God, coming judgment.

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all.”

And as it was in the days of Noe, so are the days we are living in today. Same sex
marriages, Satan worship, cults, false doctrines, sexual sins, adultery, debauchery of
all kinds, the earth is filled with violence, religious declines in mannerisms, attitudes
and lack of decency. From the time of Cane, who killed Abel, to Noah, Lot, Babylon,
to the time of David, the King of Israel, to Rome, until this present day, men have
sought to kill, murder, maim, destroy and enslave one another.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”

A Confederacy of Evil.
(“Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate.”)

As the heathen rage over the land and people, of Israel, we look at the prophecy's of the
Lord concerning the end days and Israel.
We have seen great persecution of Israel sense 1945, and it continues today. Many say
that the land that Israel sits upon belongs to others, the Palestinians, and the Islamic
Nations that surround her, but this is all misguided belief.
The Lord promised this land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for an everlasting possession.
“And I will give unto thee,(Abraham.) and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou
art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their
God.” (Gen 17:8 & 48:4.)

Should men try to tell God that His promises are wrong, that the word of the Lord means
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

nothing? Who shall be able to stand against the Lord in the time of the end?
Woe be it to those that fight against Israel, woe be it to those that fight against the Lord,
for they shall fall by the sword, for they have lived by the sword.
Their tongs shall consume away in their mouths, their skin shall consume away as they
stand, they shall be cut off from the land never to be remembered again until the final
judgment. (A great consuming fire shall come to pass.)

None that will fight against Israel shall be able to stand. These thing shall be done unto
them as a recompense of the evil they have done against the Lord. For as one fights
against the Lord they fight against His Christ, for the Lord and His Son Jesus are one,
think as one, act as one and, defend as one.

“Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate(Jerusalem.) of my people(Israel.) in the
day of their calamity(hardship.); yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their
affliction(state of pain, distress, or grief.) in the day of their calamity,(Men shall see this
as an opportunity to attack and make a plunder of the people of Israel.) nor have laid
hands(Took hold of .) on their substance(possessions.) in the day of their calamity;(great
misfortune, or cause of misery; generally applied to events or disasters which produce
extensive evils, as loss of crops, earthquakes, conflagrations, defeat of armies, and the
like. )

“Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway,(path.) to cut off those of his that did
escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up(turned over captives.) those of his
that did remain in the day of distress.
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen(non Jewish.): as thou hast done, it
shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.”
Disaster will fall upon all that betray, fight against, and, or, captivate any of the children
of Israel.

They will fight and kill these children thinking that they are doing Gods
service, but they shall fall as the wheat and blown down as if a whirlwind has struck
them. They shall see the Lord, not as they believe, but as a avenger against them and
all that have fought against His people and His Christ.
Will Israel fall to the heathen, will the gates be violated by evil, and filth, will the temple
be desecrated by their god?

Yes, for as it is written, a statue of the anti-Christ shall stand within the Holy Place, and
shall spout great abominations against the living God.
A time of great destruction, pain and sorrow shall befall the children of the most high,
but are remembered by the Lord, saved and delivered by Him.
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

The plague.
“And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have
fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their
feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth.”
“consume away”; To destroy, by separating the parts of a thing, by decomposition, as by
fire, or eating, devouring, and annihilating the form of a substance.
A great fire, as if it were a nuclear blast, shall come upon all the nations army's, as they
prepare to attack the Children of Israel. We see this not only in the Book of Revelations
but also in the Old Testament prophecy's.

“For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to
render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord
shall be many.”

Rev_18:6-8, Isa_34:1-17, Isa_66:15-16; Eze_38:18-22; Eze_39:4-6, Eze_39:17-20

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord (The commotion,
disturbance or agitation of a multitude, usually accompanied with great noise, uproar
and confusion of voices.)shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on
the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his
neighbour.
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about
shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.”

This Confederacy of Evil has, and continues to, spread among the gentiles, the United
Nations has time after time, condemned the Nation of Israel for defending herself.
Many in the United States are also calling for a dismemberment of the land of Israel.
As goes the Nation of Israel so goes the world. Many say, and I also believe, that
Israel is the central point on this earth, and is the center of this universe that the Lord
has made. All things started, and all shall be, finished there. Christianity is not, nor
ever will be a partaker of this evil confederacy.

Greed and The End of Days.

The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

Thou Shalt Keep Them, O Lord.

Wall Street turmoil now spans globe., The chaos sapped the dollar overnight., The Bank
of Japan on Tuesday morning pumped another 3 trillion yen ($28.7 billion) into money
markets, as part of efforts by central banks worldwide to boost liquidity and bolster
interbank lending., The bailout bill’s failure dealt a “severe blow to Asia markets right
after the Lehman shock plunged,” said Mitsushige Akino., Markets across Asia tumbled
sharply as they opened amid fears that the setback could lead to a broader global
financial crisis.
As this world reals over the drop in the money markets, evil men say all will be well, we
will take care of this crisis. This is a problem caused by global greed and vanity. Men
have depended in their own wills, and knowledge. They have created a monster that will
never be satisfied, never full. “To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of
men.”

Where have all the Godly men gone, the men of faith, trust, and dependence, upon the
Lord. Have their eyes been dulled, have their ears stopped listening, have their mouths
been closed, where they cannot speak praise to the God of mercy, can they not seek out
the, wisdom, council, and direction from the Lord? There are two reasons for this world
financial crisis, The vanity of man and the greed of lying lips. Men have gone after what
others have.

They seek to dominate all by failing to reveal the risk in the worlds stocks,
and money market accounts. There is no fast way to riches, no magic bullet that will
make all well, no special speech that will cure all problems.
Men today are saying trust me, for I have the answer, trust me, for I am wise more than
others, trust me, I have a great attitude, and smile upon my face. But the Lord states of
man; “They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a
double heart do they speak.

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord over us?” “Who is lord over us?” Has not God created all things,
from the Heavens, the mood, sun, stars, and planets? Has not God created man in His
Image, and in His Likeness?

Has not God given man dominion over the earth? Has not God given man a direction for
his life? Has not God given man a Savior? Who then is man that the Lord shall take
account of Him, help him, or save him, from his own mistakes? The rich and powerful,
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

oppress the poor, oppress the weak, oppress the laborers of their factories, and fields.

As
it is written; “And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness
against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against
those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn
aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.”
And again; “And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor;
and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” The oppression of the
poor is coming to an end.
There will be no more sorrow, no more worry, no more will
others steal from those that have labored in the factories, the fields, and the ministry. For
the Lord has prophesied of these days, when men shall run too and fro, and their
knowledge shall increase.

The knowledge and strength of the wicked shall be abolished. “But thou, O Daniel, shut
up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.” “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of
the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that
puffeth at him.

“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of
salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.” The day is coming that all those, in the
Lord, shall reign over their oppressors.
They shall shine as stars in the night sky, they shall have power, as the great waves in
the seas, they shall be comforted of the Lord, day, and night forever. The poor shall
inherit the earth, and become rich, the blind shall see, the deaf shall hear, and the lame
shall leap as a heart.

No more shall an infant be without life, no more shall a man become old and die, before
his 100th birthday, no more shall money rule over, a man, a country, or a nation, but all
shall look unto the Lord for their substance. For it is not that we look toward the Lords
riches in Heaven, but rather we shall be rich in His words, we shall be comforted,
guided, delivered, instructed, and enlightened in His words.

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified
seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”
This is also coming to an end. No more shall the wicked be heard, no more shall their
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

words of hatred be recognized in men. No more shall the rich be as kings upon the earth,
but they shall be abased and brought low. No more shall vile men walk the earth, no
more shall a man of wealth steal, nor oppress the poor.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is
our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let
us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the Armour of light. Let us
walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife and envying.” We, as believers in God and His Christ, shall
suffer a short time, then we shall be delivered. We cannot, in these troublesome times, be
dismayed, worried, in riot, anger, or disillusionment.

We are the Children of the most high. We cannot be ruled by money, riches, or wealth,
we must be ruled by our wisdom, and knowledge in Christ. We are in the world, but not
of the world. Do you not believe, even if this worlds stock markets fail, that your Lord
will not take care of you? Do you believe that the Lord will abandon you to poverty,
hunger or even nakedness?

Who is rich? The ones with finances, homes, stocks, bonds, properties? I believe not.
For even I have come threw suffering, financial difficulties, pain, afflictions, and
troublesome times. Was it man that relieved or delivered me? No, the Lord was
watching over me and my family.

We've never went hungry, naked, or have we ever been on the street begging for food
nor shelter. The Lord is our substance and supply. Every good gift comes from above, it
is peaceful, settled, and always on time. For as it is written; “And they that are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also
walk in the Spirit.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” We
must all, who believe in God, remember, even in these times, who we are. We have been
presented to the Lord as Kings and Priest, not by any works we have done, but by the
sacrifice of Christ at Calvary.
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of
our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the
children of wrath, even as others.”

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we
The Book of Revelations. Pt.1.

were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus.”
Why then do you worry, why then do you fret, why then do you seek out a reprieve,
from the knowledge of man, instead of the true wisdom from God?

Remember these
words from the Lord; “ For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they
that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the
LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet
have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful,
and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.”

“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times;” We have the power
over these situations, we have the power of stability in crisis, for we have the power of
prayer, faith, and our trust, in the Lord. Do not no longer be frightened nor dismayed, for
the Lord is my strength, my shield, and my staff. The Lord is your strength in
troublesome times. He is your finances, for He will rebuke the devourer for your sakes.
Then, do not worry, as people of no hope. Do not worry, as people who run too and fro,
seeking signs and wonders.
Do not worry, as people seek refuge from poverty, for the Lord is with you always, He
will never forsake you, never leave you, never despise you, as He will the wicked, and
evil men, of no faith.
