A GLIMPSE OF THINGS TO COME by Jeff Wingo

 

Ottheinrich_Folio303v_Rev20-21The Heavenly Jerusalem and The Bound Devil by Matthias Gerung, 1530-1532 {1}

Writing my lasts few posts, and given the topics discussed, I decided that we needed to take a look at some good news. It can be very easy to get narrowly focused on conspiracies and other evil going on in this world, and we all need to stay on the narrow path, lest a few fall by the wayside.

I was thinking about the day when the march of time will cease, and time as we know it will turn into eternity. The Apostle John was privileged with a glimpse into that endless era of beauty, healing, and peace, when he saw the  New Heavens open up, and the New Jerusalem descend from Heaven to Earth.

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 (Rev. 21:1-5).

The vision of the New Jerusalem is a fitting climax to the conflict of the Great Tribulation. I can imagine that John was physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted after writing about the tribulation of the saints at the merciless hands of the Beast, and the prideful self-glory of Babylon the Great.

As far as this current world goes, God will not allow it to remain, it is just too scarred with sin; and so He will purify the universe and recreate the Earth.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (2 Peter 3:10).

Not only will God redeem humanity through Christ, but He will also redeem the universe, and recreate the Earth as a permanent habitation for mankind. We have all heard that the redeemed will live with God in heaven, but that is not really what the Bible teaches. According to the biblical text we will live, not in heaven for eternity, but on the New Earth, and God will actually make the New Earth His habitation in eternity as well: 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”  (Rev. 21:4).

We can take comfort that the New Earth will be completely free of sin, evil, and death. These things have dogged mankind sin the fall in the Garden of Eden. But on the New Earth, these things will not exist.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Rev.21:27).

John describes the city as having great high walls, twelve gates of pearl, and it’s appearance and color are like “the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal” (Rev.21:7).

The city had no need of a Temple, “for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof”  (Rev.21:22-23). The city will be safe and secure, “and the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there” (Rev.21:25).

Only the redeemed of the Lamb will enter the city and live there. “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it” (Rev.21:24,26).

John describes the interior of the city as overwhelming beauty, peace, and healing.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:  And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.  And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever (Rev. 22:1-5).

I hope to be there, and I hope that you will too. I want our world to be at peace, but I also know that we must walk in this world as strangers and pilgrims before we enter the wonders of Eternity (Hebrews 11:13). Before we get to the New Jerusalem we have to travel through the cities of this world first–we have to walk through the temptations and trials of Babylon before we arrive at the city of God, Foursquare, a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10).

Are you going to New Jerusalem? If you’re not sure, come to Christ, He died for you, taking your place on the cross; the wrath of God that we deserve was poured out on Him. After He died, Jesus was buried in a tomb, but three days later He conquered the grave and arose from the dead. That’s the gospel, the GOOD NEWS, and you must believe these things to gain eternal life–that’s all God requires, your faith in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Hebrews 10:9-10).

The last invitation for salvation is in the book of Revelation. God did not want His Word to end without one last plea for your soul; and the invitation is given to all who will believe in Jesus and His power to save.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Rev.22:17).

You are invited, accept the invitation because now is the day of salvation; now is the time to decide; now is the time to believe the gospel and gain eternity and life forever in the city of God, the New Jerusalem.

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER by Jeff Wingo

Avvakum_by_MyasoyedovThe Burning of Avvakum Petrov at Pustozyorsk, Russia in 1682;  Painting by Grigoriy Myasoyedov, (1897).  {1}

It has often been said that politics makes strange bedfellows, and that saying is equally true especially when it comes to the unhealthy mix of politics and religion. All you have to do is look at history to see that politics and religion, when coupled together as a ruling system quickly degenerates, and becomes corrupted, oppressive, and evil. Look  at the bloody history of the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, and examples in Protestant history such as John Calvin and the execution of Michael Servetus in 1553. While the flames were engulfing his body, Servetus was heard to cry out, “Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have mercy on me.” Servetus didn’t tow the doctrinal line with Rome or Calvin, and the results are left with history.

That’s why I am a strong advocate for freedom as enunciated in our United States Constitution. The framers, and the chief writer, James Madison, clearly understood that when the church rules in political affairs ugly things begin to happen. Likewise, when politicians create law and exercise power without the legal restraints placed upon government through the Constitution, and the guaranteed protections offered to the people by  the Bill of Rights, tyranny also begins to raise a crushing fist of iron upon the principles of freedom and democracy.

It is quite evident that our leaders in government these days, especially President Obama, have come to believe that those legal restraints no longer apply, and that the Bill of Rights has been permanently suspended. While we are not quite there yet, if we continue on the path set before us, I fear it won’t be long before we will hear the sound of jackboots pounding the pavement on the streets of America.

These things should come as no surprise to those know Bible prophecy. Scripture informs us that the walls that separate the independent nations of the world will gradually fall and develop into a one world system; a brutal totalitarian system administered by the mystery of iniquity and the spirit of antichrist; and this is already happening with the formation of the New World Order created by powerful elitists like the Illuminati, world bankers, Industrialist, and other occult parties.

According to the book of Revelation this one world system will be called Babylon the Great, and its influence will reach every corner of the globe. Its spiritual partner is Mystery Babylon, called the Mother of Harlots because she gives birth to the many different religious systems that we see today.

As an American, and a natural-born citizen of this country, I do believe deeply in freedom. What that means is that I am free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, as I see fit under the laws of God and man. I thank God everyday for the freedoms we enjoy, and I do not take it for granted because I know that  American freedom is something that many people only dream about.

As far a religion goes, I also believe in the free exercise of religion and faith. The pilgrims left England for the American shores 395 years ago in search of religious freedom, and that freedom is still available to everyone today.

That does not mean that I agree all religions are equal, I don’t. But what this does mean is that I am free to search the Scriptures and determine what truth is, and what truth is not. While I may strongly disagree with the Roman Catholic view, or the Hindu, or Buddhists view of truth, as an American I recognize that they also have the freedom to choose their own way. In the States if the free exercise of religion is taken away from one, it can be taken away from all.

As such then, I am free to read the Bible, worship God, and witness to others about the truth of Jesus Christ; and others are free to either listen or walk away, its their choice, and that is true freedom. This is a biblical principle regarding man and the power to choose: God calls men and women everywhere to repent, and believe the gospel; turn from sin, and turn to Christ.

  • Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 3:2).
  • From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 4:17).
  • 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 (Acts 3:19).
  • And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment (1 John 3:23).

Since God created men and women with free will to choose I must respect that. While I am commanded to preach the gospel it is not my job to convert anyone, it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and convinces the heart to turn to Christ (Acts 24:25).

The reason I am writing this is because this is the clear difference between biblical Christianity and a religion like Radical Islam. If I minister the truth to someone about the exclusivity of Jesus Christ, and tell them that our salvation from sin is obtained by faith alone, in Christ alone, and they reject what I have shared, it would never enter into my mind to do them harm because of that rejection. Jesus taught us to pray for people and to have compassion on them because they are like lost sheep gone astray. Jesus never taught us that if our witness is rejected to pick up a sword and chop their head off–or as ISIS did today, burn someone alive like they did the Jordanian pilot that they had caged like an animal. The contrast is very clear, and strikingly so.

burnedalive-cropped-internal  This is nothing short of evil, and it is evil that is done in the name of God. I would not doubt if scores of reasonable Muslims who see this abandon the faith of Islam. If a god sanctioned this act then it reveals that the god of ISIS is satanic, nay even Satan himself.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

The “thief” Jesus speaks of here is Satan. He lies, and is the father of it. He inspires people to kill and murder each other, and it seems clear to me that Satan inspired ISIS to kill this poor man in such a cruel, sadistic, barbaric manner.

Pray for the family of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh. The man was only 26 and had so much life ahead of him. His life has been cut short because of this murderous savage act.

Christ gives to us true freedom, but the coming New World Order will not be freedom at all, but one brutal image after another, and one crushing crisis after another as we move closer to the NWO through the spirit of antichrist and the Mystery of Iniquity.

This brutal act that we saw today on the news is but a foreshadowing of Antichrist, and of what will happen once the New World Order becomes fully established on Earth.

The Bible reveals in Revelation chapters 17 and 18, the coming Kingdom of Antichrist will be called BABYLON THE GREAT. The Antichrist will use acts of savage terror such as this to bring the world to its knees, as the spirit of the age brings the world fully under the terrible tutelage of groups such as ISIS.

The ultimate terrorist is Satan. He causes men to create groups like ISIS to fulfill his plan for mankind in the last days. When we see brutality such as this we are seeing the unveiling of the kingdom of Antichrist.

The only hope we have is Jesus Christ, the true Messiah for all people, for all time. If you do not yet know the love of Jesus then just call upon Him. He will reveal Himself to you, and He will save you from the power of sin, and the spiritual bondage that religions like Islam bring. Jesus died on the cross for you. He was buried in a tomb, and yet He conquered the grave and rose from the dead. He is waiting for you to make the choice for eternal life, and spiritual freedom. Remember, you have free will, and the choice is yours–choose wisely, choose life.

Even so, come Lord Jesus, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

ALIEN DISCLOSURE: A REVELATION OF THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST by Jeff Wingo

 

imagesUUNEGMQLI don’t know about you but the picture to the left is rather startling in the message it is communicating. I was unable to find out the name of the artist who created it, but my guess is that he or she has an understanding of the coming strong delusion that is soon to engulf our world. That was my first thought when I ran across the image; it captures the truth that the aliens will take advantage of our desire for contact coupled with a sense of religious awe (a false sense of spirituality) that many people will experience when they see the aliens in the flesh for the first time. Realize this: the alien deception will take advantage of religious imagery that is deeply rooted in the human subconscious. This imagery linked with the alien image has been working in the cultural background in a powerful way in our modern world for over 70 years, or longer (actually it goes back further, even into antiquity).

As I looked at it another thought came to my mind which is this: when alien disclosure does take place, I can imagine there will be two or three reactions: fear, and a sense of awe coupled with a desire to worship them. You may disagree with me on that, but let me explain.

As we all know, when we are confronted with something unusual and unknown, fear will generally be our first reaction. But after our exposure to something strange and bizarre, a sense of curiosity will generally be our next reaction. We want to know more, and understand what we are confronted with.

Imagine for a moment what your reaction would be if you were confronted with a strange alien being, especially if that being used supernatural power as a demonstration of its superiority. What would you feel? How would you react? What response would you give to an alien entity that intends to subjugate your mind and emotions with a startling new reality?

As anyone who has experienced the UFO and alien phenomena can testify, fear is the first reaction, because you cannot believe it is happening. But, if you look at the history of aliens and UFOs, you can readily see that many people respond to it as they would a powerful religious experience. For proof of that just do a little research of the UFO and alien contactee movements. UFO and alien cults are everywhere, and there are thousands if not millions of people who desire alien contact because it provides them with an outlet for religious expression, even if they do not claim to be religious!

Alien saviorThe desire for an alien god runs deep in our culture, and even the atheist Richard Dawkins admitted in the Ben Stein film, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, that it is possible that a higher intelligence from somewhere in the universe may have seeded life on planet earth; leaving open the possibility that an alien intelligence may in fact be responsible for the creation of mankind.  As Ben Stein says in the film, “So Professor Dawkins was not against intelligent design, just certain types of designers, such as God…”. {1}

Incredibly, the Bible addressed this very idea almost 2,000 years ago:

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things (Romans 1: 22-23).

Many people today refuse the revelation of the God of heaven as revealed in the Bible; and so they make new gods out of the creation–whether those gods are man or beast. Indeed, I find it intriguing that Paul said the new gods of humanity will be other humans, birds (or any thing that flies, or has wings), and beasts, and creeping things, or, reptiles!

In fact, the word creeping things is the Greek word herpeton which refers to a reptile, specifically a snake, a SERPENT. {2}

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 (Revelation 12:9).

The worship of the Serpent was very common in the ancient world, and still is. In India, today, one may even find roadside temples dedicated to the worship of the snake. {3}

Naga1Don’t you find it interesting that John the Revelator said that during the Great Tribulation the world will worship the BEAST and the DRAGON, a creature that will come from the sky, in other words, a flying reptilian image?

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 (Rev.13:4).

Not only will mankind worship a Beast, but also a flying Dragon, an entity that comes from the sky, just like the subconscious image of a UFO piloted by an alien being who comes to earth from the sky, or, outer space (almost everyone on the planet has this image in the back of their mind, because of cultural conditioning, and influence from science fiction entertainment; it’s a powerful image that Satan will use to deceive the world in the last days).

Could all of this be the revelation of the spirit of antichrist for the last days? Could it be that the Antichrist will appear before the world as an Alien Beast? And could it be that the Dragon, a flying reptile, will subjugate mankind with a religious deception, hijacking deep-seated subconscious images of the powerful ancient gods of antiquity?

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie… (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

I find it intriguing that Paul linked the man of sin, the Antichrist, with a sign in the heavens.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders…(2 Thessalonians 2:9).

The word wonders comes from the Greek word teras which means “something so strange as to cause it to be watched or observed.” {5} According to Thayer, the word also refers to a “prodigy, portent, a miracle; and a sign FROM THE HEAVENS!” {6}

What could be more strange than a reptilian Dragon called Satan who will pretend to be an alien god, returning to see how his genetic experiment turned out; maybe the world wants to believe the alien lie: in that case, it will appear that Dawkins was right.

To be continued…

If you would like to learn more about the alien deception of the last days, then you might consider getting a copy of my book, Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days. I go into great detail in the book about the last days deception, the strong delusion Paul wrote about, and how all of it ties in with the doctrines of devils, and spiritual deception, which is linked with the ascendancy of the Antichrist.

You many get the book in print or Kindle at Amazon at the following link:

http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Antichrist-Terrifying-Truth-Aliens/dp/1496119460/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418662235&sr=1-1&keywords=alien+antichrist

You can also get the book at Barnes and Noble at the following link:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alien-antichrist-jeffrey-a-wingo/1119838223?ean=9781496119469

One reader in the United States had this to say about the book:

This book is an in depth look at the ancient alien question and the Bible and how the two relate. The book is extremely well documented to back up all of the research in this book. With all the shows on TV, regarding UFO’s, this book gives a comparison to what was written centuries ago in Bible. If you have any interest in either of the two subjects this book is a must read.

And a reader in the United Kingdom had this to say:

As a serious researcher into UFOs – it’s any wonder why we are no nearer in solving this mystery which higher establishments are at pains to hide. The author has some really interesting theories. A brilliant and well written book – it’s 5 stars from me. Our past has a lot to say about our future.

THE RAGING BATTLE OF THE HIDDEN KINGS by Jeff Wingo

 

Le_Grand_Saint_Michel,_by_Raffaello_Sanzio,_from_C2RMF_retouched Archangel Michael Vanquishing Satan by Raffaello Sanzio, 1518

Now that we have demonstrated who the Host of Heaven are, we are going to look at how they operate on planet Earth. It is interesting to note that as we look at current events we have a tendency to focus only on the political players that we see, and the strife and war that rages across our world. The question we should ask is what is behind it all. This is something to think about because all of us have a stake in the peaceful survival of our planet.

I believe that most people want a chance to live in peace, raise their families, and enjoy the beautiful world God created for us. I don’t personally know anyone who says that they love war, and death, and destruction. Or, that they relish the thought of people dying from plagues and famine, and war. Yet that is exactly what we see: war spreading around the world; various factions vying for positions of power though manipulation and deceit; religious strife as one group destroys another; powerful Banksters who fund one group so that they may cause death and chaos–and then the same Banksters who make money from both groups as the war machine rages on.

Why does it have to be this way? Our world today is one of the most educated generations on planet earth–you would think that intelligent, educated people would want to promote peace and prosperity for all; but that is not the case, and it is, for the most part, the complete opposite of what we see. Have you ever ask yourself why, why is the world like this? Why is one nation destroying another; why are religious fanatics raging and brutalizing one another, and destroying innocents in the process; why are the leaders of industry and the Banksters funding crooked politicians so that they can influence policies to enslave their fellow-man with low wages, so that they, the bankers, the leaders of industry, and deceptive crooked politicians may personally prosper from that cheap, expendable labor–how do these people sleep at night?

In the United States I am watching the destruction of our Constitution (by two totally corrupt political factions); yet our Constitution is one of the most important documents in world history–and applied properly it works to free the common man to grow and prosper, benefitting all.

Yet Since World War Two, when the United States military, the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), and State Department decided to import Nazi scientists and others (Operation Paperclip {2}), our country has, over the years, also contributed to the death, destruction, and chaos that we see raging across the world. How is it possible that the “City set on a hill” took to its bosom the sons of Hitler, adopted their technology, many of their tactics, and much of their philosophy, and used that to infect United States policy in many ways? Some of the fallout of this was the MKULTRA program and an entire generation of Americans experimented on with LSD and other toxic substances.  Is it any wonder that we are now reaping the whirlwind? Even the Bible addresses this: “For they have sown to the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up” (Hosea 8:7). Yet our leaders are blind–or are they? The powerful have sold out their fellow-man so they that may gain even more power–“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. (John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, 1834-1902). {3}

While we see politicians, kings, dictators, and others robbing the common man, corrupting the system, and creating chaos for their own political and economic gain, behind the scenes operate powerful spiritual forces raging in a seemingly never-ending war between good and evil. (Some of these politicians, kings, and dictators know who they are actually serving, others only shudder if they think about it at all).

Yet, what is the endgame? Where is it all going? I hope you will agree with me that it is only through the wisdom of the biblical prophets that we can make any sense out of it all; and I believe that once we look through the lens of the Bible, historical as well as contemporary events will begin to make sense.

THE PROPHET DANIEL WONDERED ABOUT ALL OF THIS TOO!

As many of you know, Daniel was caught up in the events of his day. In his earlier years he was taken captive by the military forces of the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar when they invaded Israel. Later, Daniel proved to the King his worth as an interpreter of dreams and events, and as a man of God who served wisely in the foreign court of Babylon.

Yet Daniel was concerned with the future of his homeland, and for the people of the nation of Israel. Because of this he began to fast and pray, repenting for the sins of the nation and seeking wisdom and understanding from the God of Heaven.

In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled (Daniel 10:2-3).

During this time Daniel didn’t know that behind the scenes a spiritual battle was raging. When an angel does appear he informs Daniel that he was engaged in this battle by other powerful spiritual beings who stood in his way, holding him back from appearing to Daniel for twenty-one days.

Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.  But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.  Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days (Daniel 10:12-14).

According to the language of the verse, the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia withstood him, or, “stood over against me. The fair meaning is, that he resisted or opposed him; that he stood over against him, and delayed him on his way to Daniel” (Barnes Commentary).

I am of the opinion that this portion of Scripture provides us with a small glimpse of the war that is occurring in the spiritual dimension. Perhaps the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia rules that nation from the spiritual dimension acting as an influence to the human kings of Persia–who are under the influence of Satan. It is reasonable to conclude that the Prince is a fallen entity because he opposed the angel who was engaged to appear to Daniel. The Prince of the Kingdom of Persia did not want Daniel to receive the angel’s message, a message that originated with God.

The Apostle Paul describes the four tier hierarchy of fallen angelic entities that rule the world through sinful, corrupt, economic and political leaders, as well as religious leaders given over to the spirit of the age.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).

Most of you are already very familiar with Ephesians 6:12. It reveals the spiritual powers who administer the zeitgeist or spirit of the age. The principalities are the Archons that run the entire show, Satan being chief among them. The powers refers to exousia or spiritual authorities and are entities who rule under the Archons. The rulers of the darkness of this world refer to beings called Kosmokrators. These beings operate under the authority of the Archons and the exousia or Authorities.

It should be noted that the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia is probably a Kosmokrator; because these beings rule the world directly through flesh and blood human beings. They rule over the spiritual darkness of the current world system.

The last beings that Paul writes of here are entities that he called spiritual wickedness in high places. They are the poneria epouranios or the wicked spirits of the heavens, or the lower regions of the atmosphere of the earth. They are responsible for pushing evil desires and purposes among the sons of Adam. It should be noted that these beings are depraved and commit deeply wicked acts against human beings with extreme malice.

These four types of spiritual beings, fallen angels, are the moving force of wickedness among the nations of the Earth. Couple their actions with the sinful and depraved actions of human beings and now you can see why there is so much evil in the world.

All of the evil things we see in the news and in everyday life are empowered by these fallen entities. Were it not for the grace of God we would be completely run over by these entities. Thank God for salvation through Jesus Christ, without that there would truly be no hope. But there is HOPE.

One day God will judge the world. He will judge these four types of fallen entities, and He will also judge sinful humanity.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth (Isaiah 24:21).

 

All of the wicked acts that are committed will stop, and Christ will rule and reign over the kings of the Earth–and in a New Heaven and a New Earth God will finally dwell with humanity. It will be peace and blessing forever and ever.

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.(Rev. 21:3-4).

You can make it to the New Earth only through Jesus Christ. He provides the way of salvation. Eternal life is found only through Him by faith; and faith is simply trusting in the promises of God.

The gospel of Christ is so simple–Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and three days later he arose from the dead. If you place your faith in Christ, He will forgive your sin and grant you eternal life. Receive Him today, and through Jesus you will win the spiritual war!

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:9-10,13).

If you would like to learn more about the spiritual war that is raging all around us then I suggest you might consider getting a copy of my book, Alien Antichrist, The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days. I go into great detail in the book about the last days deception, the strong delusion Paul wrote about, and how all of it ties in with the doctrines of devils and spiritual deception linked with the ascendancy of the Antichrist figure of the last days.

You many get the book in print or Kindle at Amazon at the following link:

http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Antichrist-Terrifying-Truth-Aliens/dp/1496119460/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418662235&sr=1-1&keywords=alien+antichrist

You can also get the book at Barnes and Noble at the following link:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alien-antichrist-jeffrey-a-wingo/1119838223?ean=9781496119469

One reader in the United States had this to say about the book:

This book is an in depth look at the ancient alien question and the Bible and how the two relate. The book is extemely well documented to back up all of the reseach in this book. With all the shows on TV, regarding UFO’s, this book gives a comparision to what was written centuries ago in Bible. If you have any interest in either of the two subjects this book is a must read.

And a reader in the United Kingdom had this to say:

As a serious researcher into UFOs – it’s any wonder why we are no nearer in solving this mystery which higher establishments are at pains to hide. The author has some really interesting theories. A brilliant and well written book – it’s 5 stars from me. Our past has a lot to say about our future.

WORSHIPPING THE HOST OF HEAVEN by Jeff Wingo

 

8-Gustave-Dore-Heavenly-host--e1382465712456

Gustave Doré, The Heavenly Host, 1868

 

Ever since the fall humans have desired to know the secrets of the heavens. By that statement I am referring not to the secrets of the stars or planets that fill the heavens; I am referring to the supernatural knowledge of the Host of Heaven, the beings who dwell in the heavenly regions.

It is as if we humans somehow believe we were shortchanged in the fall, and as a consequence we deserve to have special knowledge about God and the universe. Now, I believe that God has ordained that we search out creation for understanding; that’s the original purpose of science–to understand humanity and the natural universe. And there is nothing wrong with that, in fact, when science is used correctly mankind benefits (as in the healing arts), and our understanding and appreciation for God is realized.

What I am referring to are those who desire to go beyond the boundaries set up for man.  An example of this are those who attempt to gain knowledge through supernatural means, in other words, seeking for knowledge from ‘otherworldly sources’ such as angels, the dead (necromancy), and aliens. The Apostle Paul understood this desire for unlawful knowledge and condemned seeking knowledge from angels and other occult sources.

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind… (Colossians 2:18).

The worship of angelic beings is here condemned by the Apostle. The Jewish sages wrote reams of pages about angels and the supposed role of angels as mediators for man or between man and God. Paul knew this because of his position among the Jews and his education in the Law and the commentaries of the Rabbi’s.

He also condemns a false show of humility, you know the kind–like the false prophet who is trying to beguile you with a “word from the Lord.” Or, the man or woman who comes into your fellowship and pretends to have had a revelatory vision, or, perhaps they may even claim to have spoken with an angel. Just a cursory internet search will reveal many false prophets just like that–“an angel appeared to me and said this or that.”

In reality this activity will inevitably lead to the worship of angels, and may even lead to the practice of invoking angels–for their knowledge and power. The problem is, how do you know whether it’s an unfallen angel or a fallen one? Truth is, you don’t, because of the power of deception and spiritual manipulation by fallen angelic sources; and that’s why the Apostle condemns angel worship, or contacting angels–spiritism is just a dangerous practice and it always leads to disaster of one kind or another.

330px-John_Dee_AshmoleanConsider for a moment an example from history. Some of you have probably heard of Dr. John Dee (1527-1608, or 1609 depending on the source). He was an Advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, and, according to Wikipedia, “Dee immersed himself in the worlds of magic, astrology and Hermetic philosophy. He devoted much time and effort in the last thirty years or so of his life to attempting to commune with angels in order to learn the universal language of creation and bring about the pre-apocalyptic unity of mankind. A student of the Renaissance Neo-Platonism of Marsilio Ficino, Dee did not draw distinctions between his mathematical research and his investigations into Hermetic magic, angel summoning and divination. Instead he considered all of his activities to constitute different facets of the same quest: the search for a transcendent understanding of the divine forms which underlie the visible world, which Dee called “pure verities”.” {1, emphasis added}

Dee, although a genius in his own right, and one of the most educated and learned men of his day, sought after knowledge in the wrong way. He tried to gain insight into the secrets of the creation apart from God, and instead sought out knowledge from angelic beings. In reality though, the angelic beings Dee communed with were fallen angels. In fact, the knowledge Dee and his colleague Edward Kelly gained from the angels is still used even today by occultists. Clearly the beings Dee and Kelly communed with were not from God.

Dee and Kelly developed a special language they called Enochian, which they claimed was revealed to them by angels. It is very telling that the methods they used to contact angels were occult to the core, and out of all of this they developed a complex system of ceremonial magic called Enochian Magic which later influenced The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and legendary occultist Aleister Crowley. The methods used by these occultists are still influencing practitioners of ritual and ceremonial magic today.

As a result of his traffic with spirits Dee and Edward Kelly ended up swapping wives for a short time–and this immoral activity was done because the angels commanded them to do it. Later in his life Dee became a disillusioned and broken man. He died at the age of 82 attended only by his daughter Katherine.

I hope you can see from this example that Dee and Kelly were not in communication with godly spirits, but fallen beings, who led both men and their wives to live in adultery. Clearly that is not biblical nor was it godly. Only wicked spirits would lead to this kind of activity. While the life of John Dee is very fascinating, it should serve as a reminder that traffic with fallen angels is costly, both in this life and the life to come.

The Bible reveals that the ancient Israelites also sought after and worshipped fallen angels. God warned the Jewish nation not to worship the Host of Heaven, or the angelic beings, whether fallen or unfallen.

  • And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven (Deuteronomy 4:19).
  •  And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded (Deuteronomy 17:3).
  • And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal (2 Kings 17:16).

The Bible is very clear that Israel succumbed to idolatry and other evils through the worship of the Host of Heaven.  In my book, Alien Antichrist, I wrote, ” The worship of the heavenly bodies was more than just offering obeisance to the sun and moon, or the various stars and constellations. These were merely the symbolic representations of the fallen gods. The gods they worshipped were fallen angels and the stars in the heavens were the cosmological mythology built around those gods.” {2}

To be clear, the Bible defines the identity of the Host of Heaven–and I will continue along that line on my next post. To be continued….

You can get the book by following the link to Amazon, or you can get the book at Barnes and Nobles and other bookstores that offer print on demand titles.

http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Antichrist-Terrifying-Truth-Aliens/dp/1496119460/ref=sr_1_1s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417743424&sr=1-1&keywords=alien+antichrist

In the book I demonstrate that fallen angels will lead mankind to worship the Beast and take the mark of the Beast–through the strong delusion of UFOs and aliens. Most people today already believe in aliens, so in a sense they are already setup for the deception. Get the book, check out the 367 endnotes and study the Scriptures that prove the people of Earth are being set up to worship an Alien God in the End of Days!

Here is what one reviewer in the United States had to say about the book:

“This book is an in depth look at the ancient alien question and the Bible and how the two relate. The book is extemely well documented to back up all of the reseach in this book.

And here is another review from the Amazon site in the United Kingdom:

“As a serious researcher into UFOs – it’s any wonder why we are no nearer in solving this mystery which higher establishments are at pains to hide. The author has some really interesting theories. A brilliant and well written book – it’s 5 stars from me. Our past has a lot to say about our future.”

Both reviews are 5 stars, and I would like to thank these reviewers for their opinion on the book! And I would also like to thank everyone who purchased a copy!

Once again, Thanks for visiting. And if you do purchase the book just know that you are helping to support this Blog and my work to reveal the great deception that is soon to overtake our planet with the force of a destructive tsunami. I am just one watchman out of thousands God has placed all around the world who are crying out in the wilderness trying to warn that the judgment of God is soon to come through the Great Tribulation.

A NEW TOWER FOR A ONE WORLD RELIGION by Jeff Wingo

Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder_-_The_Tower_of_Babel_(Vienna)_-_Google_Art_Project_-_edited

Pieter Bruegel the Elder – The Tower of Babel

In yesterdays post I wrote about the origin of Mystery Babylon. It is the spiritual power behind every false religious system known to humanity. As you know, in the beginning there was a common knowledge about the one true God.

Shortly after the fall, and mans expulsion from the Garden, another religious system arose–the way of Cain. God intended for man to offer animal sacrifice as a temporary cover for his sin. Yet Cain offered not the proscribed sacrifice but the fruit of the ground–the product of his labor, an offering of his own choice, a bloodless offering. According to the text, God refused the offering of Cain but encouraged him to do well, otherwise the sin in his heart would overtake him.

 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?   If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him (Genesis 4:6-7).

As you know, Cain refused the counsel of the Lord and killed his brother Abel. Cain left the presence of God and went to the Land of Nod which means “wandering, or exile;” it is the permanent state of those who refuse Gods way of salvation and choose instead their own way.

In the process of time mans religious proclivities drove him to develop various gods and systems of worship which drastically differed from what God originally intended. To make matters worse, a group of fallen angels invaded the planet and brought corruption and ruin to the human race (Genesis 6). The resulting judgment of God caused the flood to overtake the antediluvian world during Noah’s day, wiping out sinful humanity and the hybrid creatures called Nephilim.

After the flood, men once again refused the way of God, and so under the leadership of Nimrod they began to construct the Tower of Babel, which means “Gate of God.” In other words, it was the intention of Nimrod to establish contact with the pre-flood deities through a spiritual gate or portal at the top of the Tower, so that humans could once again join with the “gods” and partake of the genetic nature of fallen angels to become like the Nephilim, the mighty men or gods of the pre-flood world.

And this brings us to the present, because men are still constructing  towers to reach into the heavens in order to contact God on their own terms. The dark truth of the matter, indeed, the hard truth, is that they are in contact with spiritual powers, but the one’s that the Apostle Paul warned about in the sixth chapter of Ephesians.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph.6:12).

**************************************************************************************

THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT

Isn’t it interesting to see some of the developments in the ecumenical movement? The ringleader of all of this is the Vatican. Ask yourself, how many once strong Protestant denominations are now only weak, watered down shells, and how many once strong Evangelical churches and leaders now capitulate to the overtures of the Holy See?

I was not surprised when a video taken by the late Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer surfaced at a convention with Kenneth Copeland. The video is of Pope Francis delivering a conciliatory message to Copeland and other Evangelical and Protestant leaders. The overtures of Rome never end. The result is that Copeland, James and Betty Robison, Rev. Geoff Tunnicliff, Rev. Brian Stiller and Rev. Thomas Schirrmacher, of the World Evangelical Alliance, and John and Carol Arnott, of the former Toronto Airport Vineyard joined the Pope in Rome for a three-hour meeting and lunch. Later Joel Osteen and others also met with the Pope.

These are actually startling developments for those watching who are aware of church history. Rome has not changed her stance about Protestants and Evangelicals, and other Bible believing Christians.  Her anathemas still stand that repudiate your and my faith in Christ alone–that salvation is obtained by faith alone in Christ because of his substitutionary death on the cross at Calvary.

The Roman Catholic church convened the Council of Trent in 1545 in an attempt to counter the doctrines raised and supported by the Reformers. The Roman response to Luther and the other Reformers was to “curse” them (let alone kill them when they could). They used the biblical word “anathema” which is a curse from God. In other words, those who disagree with Roman Catholic Dogma are, according to these statements cursed by God–but in reality the curse only comes from Rome and the dark spiritual powers that control and drive her.

  • CANON 9:  “If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.”
  • CANON 12:  “If any one shall say that justifying faith is nothing else than confidence in the divine mercy pardoning sins for Christ’s sake, or that it is that confidence alone by which we are justified . . . let him be accursed”
  • Canon 14: “If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema.”
  • Canon 23: “lf any one saith, that a man once justified can sin no more, nor lose grace, and that therefore he that falls and sins was never truly justified; or, on the other hand, that he is able, during his whole life, to avoid all sins, even those that are venial,–except by a special privilege from God, as the Church holds in regard of the Blessed Virgin; let him be anathema.”
  • Canon 24:  “If any one saith, that the justice received is not preserved and also increased before God through good works; but that the said works are merely the fruits and signs of Justification obtained, but not a cause of the increase thereof; let him be anathema.”
  • Canon 30:  “If any one saith, that, after the grace of Justification has been received, to every penitent sinner the guilt is remitted, and the debt of eternal punishment is blotted out in such wise, that there remains not any debt of temporal punishment to be discharged either in this world, or in the next in Purgatory, before the entrance to the kingdom of heaven can be opened (to him); let him be anathema.”
  • Canon 33:  “If any one saith, that, by the Catholic doctrine touching Justification, by this holy Synod inset forth in this present decree, the glory of God, or the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ are in any way derogated from, and not rather that the truth of our faith, and the glory in fine of God and of Jesus Christ are rendered (more) illustrious; let him be anathema.
  • This council declares that if anyone disagrees with it, they are damned. {1}

This is what Pope Francis said on June 25,2014:

“No one becomes Christian on his or her own! Is that clear? No one becomes Christian by him- or herself. Christians are not made in a laboratory. A Christian is part of a people who comes from afar. The Christian belongs to a people called the Church and this Church is what makes him or her Christian, on the day of Baptism, and then in the course of catechesis, and so on. But no one, no one becomes Christian on his or her own.”{2}

“There are those who believe they can maintain a personal, direct and immediate relationship with Jesus Christ outside the communion and the mediation of the Church. These are dangerous and harmful temptations. These are, as the great Paul VI said, absurd dichotomies.” {3}

You see, Rome has not changed, and for Protestant and Evangelical leaders to believe otherwise is to be deceived and to deceive others. Rome has never, and will never, repudiate or repent of the Council of Trent, she cannot. To do otherwise would be to admit she is not infallible.

And by the way, the church that Pope Francis was talking about aren’t the Baptist folks down the street, it’s the Roman Catholic Church–for him, and others, there is no other church.  The Jesuits have been working hard to bring the “separated brethren” back home–to Rome. And don’t forget that Pope Francis is a Jesuit.

The website Worthy News said in response to this:

“Evangelicals have long maintained that one must become ‘born again’ and true faith is not a religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  While many evangelicals are members of churches of many different denominations, the common denominator amongst Evangelicals is the need for a “personal relationship” with Jesus Christ as the sole mediator to God. As Evangelicals often quote, “For there is one mediator between God and Man; the man Jesus Christ” (1 Timothy 2:5) {4}

Friends, it does not matter what the developments in the ecumenical church world become now or in the future, don’t fall for it when the “walls” come tumbling down between Rome and Protestant, Evangelical, and other church bodies. Always maintain your distance from this movement. It is dangerous and will lead to deep spiritual deception in the last days before the Tribulation and the return of the Messiah.

Personal salvation is not found in any church, it is only found in Christ–for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Always remember the words of Jesus:

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.                                                              
Matthew 24:4,5,11,23-26

The book explains the critical role that the church of Rome will play in the last days as a Pope becomes the biblical False Prophet. It is my opinion that a Pope will lead the world to accept the aliens as gods once true alien disclosure takes place. That is why the Vatican and her astronomers are making statements about aliens, alien contact, and baptizing aliens. They already see themselves as the mediators between God and man, and I believe they also see themselves as the intermediary between the aliens and humanity. Arm yourself with biblical truth before the deception occurs. Jesus said that the deception will be so great that if it were possible even the elect (those saved or born-again) would be deceived by it.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (Matt.24:24).

THE TWO BEASTS OF REVELATION 13: THE SECOND BEAST by Jeff Wingo

Durer, Beast out of earth

The Second Beast coming up out of the Earth; From a woodcut by Albrecht Durer (1471 – 1528).

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.  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understand- ing count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 
Revelation 13:11-18
As you can see from the above Scripture, the Second Beast comes from the Earth. The meaning is clear: The Second Beast comes from the Earth; Because he will arise from humanity. Unlike the First Beast who is a fallen angel from the Abyss (which is under the ocean or sea), this Second Beast is from the Earth, meaning he originates from the sons of men.
When John says, “I beheld another Beast,” the word another denotes another of the same type, i.e., the same kind of evil character. The distinct difference is that the First Beast is a fallen angel, a Warrior-King incarcerated in the dark chamber of Tartarus,  and the Second Beast is more inline with the idea of a Messiah-like figure, that of a Lamb; and this is in imitation of Christ, the Lamb of God (John 1:29).
The Second Beast comes to humanity clothed in religion, he appears to be a meek and lowly lamb but the words that come out of his mouth are that of a Dragon. In other words, he speaks as a representative of the Dragon. His appearance is what disarms the people of the world when he enters the stage to play his part in the end-time scenario.
As such then he represents Mystery Babylon and all of the spiritual elements that are incorporated into it. He is the personification of the Mystery of Iniquity that Paul wrote about (2 Thess.2:7); and in that sense he represents apostate Christianity.
Now this is where I am going to get myself into trouble with some folks; I do not say things to stir controversy, that is not my way, nor is it my intention to create a problem. In fact, I realize that I may lose some readers because of the following  comments, but I must be true to the Scriptures.
In my book, Alien Antichrist, I noted that today we are strongly inflicted with a disease these days; that being the spiritual plague of political correctness. On page 189 I wrote, “In order to correctly weigh the evidence though, we must consider the political, religious, and cultural climate we live with–because if we accept the political correctness that is swirling all around, it will blind us to the truth and taint our ability to properly discern the circumstances as they develop.” {1} And I stand by that statement regardless because it is true.  The False Prophet will be a human man and “as circumstances change his power will grow and his authority will be felt by everyone on earth.” {2}
The Holy Spirit is still speaking today–and one of the things He is whispering (for those willing to listen), is that you must leave Mystery Babylon behind. Mystery Babylon represents every false religious system known to humanity, and it is found in Evangelical Churches, Protestant Mainline Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches and any other church system which relies on good works, rituals, the communion wafer, dead saints, supposed mysteries, or any other thing rather than Christ alone to attain eternal salvation. The Bible teaches that salvation can only be attained by faith alone, in Christ alone; He died for our sins, was buried, and three days later He arose from the dead, that is the gospel (1 Corinth.15:1-4). If any thing is added to the Gospel of Christ it is part of Mystery Babylon. {3}
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” 
Rev.18:4
***********************************************************************
THE IDENTITY OF THE FALSE PROPHET
Symbolically the False Prophet is identified and represented with “two horns like a lamb;” in that sense we may identify him as a Messiah-like figure. Indeed, he will think of himself as a Messiah-like figure, the representative of God on the Earth.
The False Prophet will be the bridge-builder between humanity and the aliens when they do arrive.
As I wrote in my book, Alien Antichrist, several years before I started on the book I was trying to understand the identity of the Beast from the Sea and the Second Beast from the Earth. “When I finally understood that the Antichrist was not a human being, but rather a fallen angel, I also realized that the False Prophet had to be a human being, and possibly would act as an intermediary between the aliens and mankind.” {4}  That line of reasoning proved to be right once I placed a prophecy found in Daniel in its proper perspective. Here is the passage:
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.  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:26-27
The prince that shall come is the False Prophet, not the Antichrist as some would erroneously believe. The False Prophet will come from the people who destroyed the city and the sanctuary. As most of you know, that event occurred in A.D. 70 when Titus and the Roman legions destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the Temple complex. “The ‘people’ were the Romans and the logical modern-day equivalent to the Romans is the spiritual and temporal power of the Vatican at Rome; ‘the prince that shall come’ is none other than the head of the Vatican, the Pope.” {5}
That should not come as a surprise when you consider that the only worldwide organization that could possibly function in a religious capacity like this is the Vatican.  They already see themselves as the mediator between God and man, and so in that sense a pope will fulfill Bible prophecy as the False Prophet to lead humanity to embrace the aliens. Indeed, the Vatican will mediate between humanity and the aliens, and become the Bridge-Builder between the two.
Is that why Pope Francis and Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno are talking about aliens so much these days? Both of them have stated that they would be more than willing to baptize aliens when they arrive. {6}  Don’t you find it rather strange that this kind of talk is coming from the Vatican?
Although many of you may disagree with me on this, I do think it is interesting that the Pope and his cohorts are communicating to the faithful that it is ok to believe in both evolution and aliens. After all those two topics do go hand-in-hand, especially when you place their pronouncements alongside TV programs such as Ancient Aliens, which also teaches to the masses the connection between aliens and evolution.
Perhaps the Vatican is positioning itself to be the intermediary between aliens and mankind; and when alien disclosure occurs, I would be willing to wager that a representative from the Vatican will be right alongside all of the scientists and astronomers who make such an earthshaking pronouncement. And it will be earthshaking because once alien disclosure takes place life will never be the same for any of us.
Once a disclosure event occurs, one that announces to the world that advanced, intelligent, alien life does exist in the universe, and that contact has been established; that one event should be the signal to those with wisdom that the Great Tribulation is just around the corner. Because according to Bible prophecy it won’t be long before the aliens arrive and show themselves to the world.
That event will be the lie that Paul wrote about. It will be the energeia plane’ or strong delusion that will deceive the people of the world (2 Thess.2:11). Once this strong delusion is released the Antichrist Beast will also be released–the Warrior-King will be set free to bring his reign of chaos to the world through an empire called Babylon the Great.
The shame of  all of this is that the ones who will be the least prepared for alien disclosure are Evangelical Christians and others. And the reason for this should be obvious–they erroneously believe that they will escape the horrors of the Tribulation through a pre-tribulation rapture.
Unfortunately, most of them will find out the hard way that there is no pre-tribulation rapture in the Bible, it’s just not there. In fact, the only rapture spoken of is when Christ visibly returns to earth.  And that may cause a great falling away and a crisis of faith for those trapped in the delusion that Christ will whisk them away from all of the troubles on the earth before all hell breaks loose.  Don’t be deceived by the doctrines of men–read the Bible for yourself, allow it to shape your doctrine and your worldview.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:29-31

THE TWO BEASTS OF REVELATION 13: THE FIRST BEAST by Jeff Wingo

Durer,_apocalisse

The Revelation of St John: The Sea Monster and the Beast with the Lambs Horn, from a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528). {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.  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.
Revelation 13:1,2

Here, the Apostle John is standing on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea from a vantage point on the Isle of Patmos. And rising from the stirring depths is a beast with seven heads and ten horns; and on the horns are ten crowns.

This must have been an amazing sight, and a horrifying aspect of this vision is that the heads of the beast  are marked with blasphemy that is directed to the God of heaven. Later in the chapter we learn that the followers of the Beast will also be marked on either their right hand or forehead as a sign of allegiance to the Beast and his kingdom of Babylon the Great.
Note that the Beast rises from the bottom of the sea. The ancients believed the abyss, or pit of hell, to be located under the seas; and that is precisely where we see the Beast rise from.
This first Beast is the Beast from the abyss:
  • And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Rev.11:7
 Here we see that the Beast kills the Two Witnesses, and it is the same Beast that ascends out of the abyss or bottomless pit. John once again points to the Beast and its point of origin.
  • The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Rev. 17:8

Two times this Beast, who is the final end-time Antichrist, is revealed to be the same Beast that rises from the bottomless pit. And yet John also provides one more clue that reveals the identity if the final end-time Antichrist.

  • And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Rev.9:11

Here is the Antichrist folks, there is no other Antichrist than the one revealed in the book of Revelation. In other words, no human being will fulfill this role–no president, politician, pope, or imam will be the final end-time Antichrist Beast.

I call the Antichrist, the Antichrist Beast, because in the book of Revelation he is known only as the Beast. John never calls him the Antichrist. That moniker comes from popular culture, the movies, TV, and books on the subject. But in the Bible, specifically by the Apostle John, he is only referred to as the Beast (John does use the term “antichrist,” although in a more doctrinal sense, in his books of 1,2, and 3 John–that will be for a later post).

He is a fallen angel  presently incarcerated in the dark inner chambers of our planet which the Bible calls, the Abyss. It is the well or cistern of the abyss and is actually a separate chamber from the abyss itself; the well of the abyss. That is where the Antichrist Beast is currently chained in darkness; and when God decides it is time for the Great Tribulation to begin the Antichrist Beast will be revealed to the world.

Don’t be deceived by the popular culture–they will point to an individual, usually a religious leader or a crooked politician and say, “That’s the Antichrist!” No it’s not! No human being will be the final Antichrist except the Beast who rises from the bottom of the sea, from the well of the abyss. And his name is Apollyon and Abaddon, meaning destroyer and place of destruction.

As I wrote in a post earlier this month, the Antichrist Beast will rise from the abyss and become a Warrior-King. His one main objective is to seize control of this planet from the evil men and seducers who currently run the asylum. The Elite, or Illuminati, or, whatever they choose to call themselves these days, only think they run the planet. There is a hidden hand ruling through them, a dark figure that usually remains in the shadows: the Prince of the Power of the Air, also known as Lucifer. The fallen cherub is the hidden hand that will give the world system what it desires most of all–a “god” in the flesh called Destroyer.

If you would like know more about the Antichrist Beast and Babylon the Great, then I recommend my book, Alien Antichrist: The Terrifying Truth about UFOs and Aliens, Antichrist, and the End of Days.  It explains all of this in greater detail.

In my next post I will discuss the Second Beast of Revelation 13, the False Prophet.

Please pray for me as I have been ill for about two weeks with an especially wicked case of the flu. I am still trying to recover from it.

Thanks for visiting.

EBOLA, UFOS AND ALIENS, AND THE TEN PLAGUES OF EGYPT by Jeff Wingo

Martin,_John_-_The_Seventh_Plague_-_1823

John Martin, The Seventh Plague, 1823

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2 Peter 3:1-4
Most people have the notion that things in the world will always remain the same as each day arrives. The sun rises and the sun sets. Summer, then fall, winter, then spring. It always comes, year after year, you can count on it. While we can trust the mechanistic motion of the planet as it hurdles through space and time in our solar system, the affairs of humanity are far from mechanical. Nothing remains the same, and the news fluctuates one way then the next; one day there is bad news, another day there is good news. The point is, that as time moves forward everything around us is constantly changing, and subject to a million variables.
One thing that many people never count on, or at least try to put out of their mind, is that one day God will judge the world. What that means to us personally is that our lives are accountable to Him for everything that we have done.  God will also judge the world collectively, meaning that His judgment will fall not just on you and me, but the entire planet.
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Acts 17:31
As Christians we know that Jesus bore the penalty for our sin on the cross, so we will not face judgment for sin, but we will face the Judgment Seat of Christ, the place where our works are judged by fire (2 Cor.5:10). But for those who refuse Christ, or those people who are yet to come to Him for forgiveness and cleansing, judgment is coming, although for the moment it waits in the wings–or is it? Is it possible we are facing judgment right now?
I was thinking about the Ebola crisis in West Africa and how this plague is beginning to spread around the world. It starts in one place and because of the movement of people the plague travels into other population centers. From West Africa it has spread to Europe and the United States. I just read that the country of Mali now has a case of Ebola, and of course here in the States Ebola is in Texas, Atlanta, and now New York.  I have even seen a few news articles that there may be more cases in the U.S., it is just being covered up and called malaria and typhoid. {1} If that turns out to be true, we are in serious trouble.
And then I began to think about the plague of Ebola in relation to the ten plagues of Egypt as told in the Bible. You remember the story I’m sure. The story is told in Exodus 7-12.  Moses went to Pharaoh and requested that he release the Hebrew people so that they could journey into the wilderness to worship the Lord. Pharaoh responded to Moses by saying, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go” (Ex. 5:2).
Well, it did not take long for Pharaoh to find out about the Lord because not long after God sent ten plagues upon the land of Egypt. For the sake of brevity I have listed them here followed by my commentary.
1. Turning the Nile river into blood. The Nile was worshipped as a god and several of the gods of Egypt were connected with it. This caused the water to become unusable and killed the fish as well.
2. Plague of frogs. This plague was directed to the god Hekt, a frog-headed goddess. Frogs overran the land and when they died it became unbearable to the people of Egypt.
3. The plague of lice.  This plague was actually a small gnat; the air and land was filled with a small stinging gnat. The sting was very irritating to the skin and would overwhelm the nose, mouth, and eyes. The dust of the land was turned into these tiny swarming insects. I don’t think we fully grasp how horrifying this particular plague was.
4. The plague of flies. In this plague the flies were a type of biting dog-fly that would cause great irritation, especially to the eyes. God protected Israel during this plague allowing Pharaoh to see the hand of God, as He separated the people of Israel from the Egyptians.
5. The plague of murrain. This plague destroyed the livestock of Egypt; the cattle, horses, camels, donkeys, sheep, and goats. The cattle and other animals of the Israelites were unharmed.
6. The plague of boils. This was a disease resulting in very painful (burning, swelling) boils and blisters that would rise up in the skin.  Gesenius calls it an inflamed ulcer, a type of leprosy causing the body to become encrusted with black scales and a swelling of the feet. {2}
7. The plague of hail and fire. This was a very destructive storm that left Egypt a broken, devastated land. Hail fell upon man and beast and also on the fields; the hail was accompanied by thunder and lightning that burst upon the ground.  Interestingly, God demonstrated grace before this plague was unleashed by warning Pharaoh to gather whatever cattle and crops remained to protect them from the storm.
8. The plague of locusts. This plague finished the crops of Egypt. The locusts left nothing behind; every tree, and all plant life were consumed. The land itself was darkened by layer upon layer of locusts.
9. The plague of darkness. This was an unearthly darkness that could be felt. This supernatural darkness was directed toward Ra the sun-god; it demonstrated the power of God over all of Egypt. The Israelites however had light in their dwellings.
10. The plague of the death of the first-born. The power of life and death is in the hand of the God of heaven. The Israelites were protected by an act of faith. They had to kill a male lamb and smear its blood on the top and sides of the doorway. The lamb was then to be roasted and eaten as a Passover lamb. This prefigured the sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God.
***********************************************************************
As you have seen, God directed each plague against the gods of the Egyptians.  Is God doing this with Ebola? Will the god of  science become ineffective, unable to stop the progression of the deadly Ebola virus? Will this become a judgment plague just like the painful boils and blisters the Egyptians suffered?  What about the death of the first-born? Will Ebola consume not just the first-born of our families, but everyone? Will it touch all of us in some way? I only hope the answer is no to all of those questions.
But then there is the statement of Jesus:
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.  Luke 21:11
Nothing is more fearful to mankind than famine and pestilence. Famine refers to scarcity of harvest. Of course, if the crops fail people go hungry. In the United States, California is currently experiencing a severe drought which is affecting crop production. The San  Joaquin Valley, sometimes called the “salad bowl of the world” is in danger of becoming a dust bowl. Incredibly, part of this is manmade because of environmental politics. {3}
Pestilence refers to “any epidemic outbreak of a deadly and highly infectious disease, such as the plague.” {4} In the case of Ebola thousands of people have perished and unless God intervenes thousands more will perish as well. The danger however doesn’t just come from the disease–just as dangerous is the panic coming from the population and governments who refuse to implement proper protocols to protect the uninfected population. Unfortunately, politics, government denial, and cover up will help to spread the disease.
Plagues and pestilence are definitely part of the end-time scenario. Just as with ancient Egypt, God will allow pestilence as an act of divine judgment. The pattern is in the Bible. The Lord does have abundant mercy and grace, however, His patience with men does have a limit, and He has appointed a day for both reconciliation and judgment. That is what the book of Revelation is all about. And sometimes when God begins to move, pestilence goes before Him.

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.  And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.  Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.  He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

Habakkuk 3:3-6
NOTE: Lest anyone misunderstand, I am not saying that the people of West Africa are under the judgment of God, nor the United States, Europe, or any other place. I am just trying to point out prophetic patterns in the Bible and how God at times seems to deal with humanity. I am not a prophet, nor do I always correctly discern the mind of the Lord. Perhaps God intended that the more prosperous countries should help the people of Africa. Because the world was slow to respond the rest of the world may suffer as well. If we had intervened in West Africa and used our resources in a way to help the people overcome extreme poverty and Ebola, we would not be facing a possible epidemic in the States. Who is to say that Ebola in the United States  is not a judgment because of our selfishness and desire for extreme comfort, rather than sacrifice, to help those in need who desperately need our help. Jeff Wingo
 ***********************************************************************
 THE JUDGEMENT OF DELUSION
 The Lord will judge the world in righteousness, and He has appointed a day when the prophetic hammer will fall. Just as pestilence refers to a plague that affects the human body, there is also a plague that affects the mind; and it is called energeia plane’ or strong delusion. The word “energeia” always refers to supernatural power, whether the source is God or Satan. “Plane'” refers to a mental straying, one led from the right way to roam all over the place. In other words, no stability, and no way to find truth; error which leads to deceit or fraud {5}
That definition is actually frightening when you think about it, especially when you look at the context of the verse in 2 Thessalonians 2:11. The most frightening aspect though is that this strong delusion comes not from Satan but from God! That is judgment of the highest order. The precedence is in the book of 2 Kings:
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.  And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.  And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.  Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
2 Kings 22:20-23
 The Lord sent a prophetic spirit to cause the false prophets of Ahab to lie to him so that he would be lead astray; and in this case the lying spirit led Ahab to his death. That is what Paul’s word is about in 2 Thessalonians chapter two. The source of the energeia plane’ or strong delusion is God; “that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (vs. 12). That is when the grace of God has reached its limits, and that is frightening. Jesus told us not to fear “them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matt.10:28).
Part of the strong delusion are fearful sights in the heavens. If you consider the power that the alien delusion has taken on in our culture, especially through the medium of entertainment, it is clear that there is a conditioning process taking place; and it is leading to a belief that aliens exist, and it is building up to alien disclosure. Even the Pope and his cohorts are talking about aliens as they prepare humanity for the inevitable–alien disclosure. {6} Even the astronomers of NASA are also talking about the discovery of alien life and possible alien disclosure. {7} I believe that is proof that something of a deep spiritual nature is going on.
Fearful sights in the heavens refers to something in the sky that strikes terror or fear; and that describes aliens, especially for those unfortunate people who suffer because of episodes of so-called “alien abduction.” For those who may misunderstand let me be clear–fallen angels are the cause of authentic UFO and alien activity, including the alien abduction experience. Those impacted by it are being influenced and attacked by fallen angels.  It is a spiritual issue that will overtake humanity in the end of days. I believe it is the energeia plane’ or strong delusion of the last days.
When Jesus used the words “great signs” referring of course to aerial phenomena, he used a word which refers to “a sign, prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence, transcending the common course of nature.” It can also refer to “signs portending remarkable events soon to happen.” {8} Jesus also said that false christs will perform great signs, and they will also perform “wonders” (Matt.24:24).  The word “wonders” is the Greek word teras which refers to  “something so strange (in the heavens) as to cause it to be watched or observed. {9}  That is the same word the used by the Apostle Peter when quoting a prophecy from Joel: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke (Acts 2:19).
I am of the opinion that the signs in the heavens coupled with the power of spiritual deception are what we refer to today as UFOs and aliens. The prophet Joel referred to a people God calls “his army” (Joel 2:11) and “a great and strong people.” (Joel 2: 2). Joel says that there has never been a people like this and there shall never be a people like this again “to many generations.”  This refers to the demonic locusts unleashed in the book of Revelation chapter nine. And that verse points to an alien invasion of our planet that will be unprecedented, and it also points as well to the unveiling of the Beast from the abyss who is the final Antichrist of the last days.
To be continued….
If you would like to know more about the alien delusion of the last days and the ascendancy of the Antichrist then I recommend my book, Alien Antichrist: The Terrifying Truth about Aliens and UFOs, Antichrist, and the End of Days. You can get the book from Amazon by clicking the link on the right side of the page near the top. You can also get the book at Barnes and Noble and at other bookstores that offer print on demand books.
The book lays out the whole scenario for you. I start at the beginning as I explain who the aliens are and how they have impacted humanity since the beginning of time. Then I demonstrate what will happen once Satan and his cohorts are cast out of the heavens as revealed in Revelation chapter 12. I also explain what the spirit of antichrist is and how it operates in the world. Using the biblical texts I also reveal who the Antichrist actually is (his identity is in your Bible), and how he will impact the world as he turns the current New World Order into a satanic empire that the Bible calls Babylon the Great.

EBOLA NEWS
The city of New York is in a panic as it has been reported that a doctor who recently returned from Guinea has been stricken with the Ebola virus.
The Governors of both New York and New Jersey have put new restrictions on those entering the country from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Lots of crying going on about “rights.”
If President Obama had put quarantine rules in place months ago as he should have we would not be facing this crisis in the United States. Unfortunately, we have weak leadership more interested in big White House dinners and the game of golf. Gotta have priorities I guess.

ANTICHRIST: THE WARRIOR KING by Jeff Wingo

Christianandapollyon

Apollyon battling Christian in John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. {1}

¶ The ominous Antichrist figure is often depicted in books and movies as a Messiah-like figure, usually tied to the Jewish people and the land of Israel. That description however belongs to the Second Beast of Revelation 13, the False Prophet.

A careful examination of the relevant biblical text regarding the Beast uncover a different version of the Antichrist; because he is more accurately portrayed in Scripture as a Warrior-King, an all-consuming conqueror of the earth and the souls of men.

In Revelation chapter six he is depicted as the rider on a white horse. As he exits the Abyss he leads an overwhelming force of demonic locusts charged with the task of tormenting the people of earth who do not have the seal of God (Rev.9:4). In this picture of the Antichrist Beast we see the epitome of evil as he rides forth from the Abyss as a victorious king going “forth conquering, and to conquer” (Rev. 6:2).

No longer is he a prisoner in the cage of the Abyss. He resumes his position as a king, the King of Babylon the Great, a position that he once held during the days of Noah before the flood (I address this in my book Alien Antichrist, pages 132-142).

The Apostle Paul warned us that he is “the man of sin, the son of perdition (2 Thess. 2:3); the English word perdition is the Greek word apōleia; it is an active word meaning “a destroying, utter destruction” {2} which accurately describes his name and character (Apollyon, Destroyer/Abbadon, Destruction), and his work as he rides forth to inflict chaos and destruction on the earth.

Jesus, Daniel, and Paul all warned us to watch for “the Abomination of Desolation” (Matt.24:15; Dan. 11:31; 2 Thess.2:3,4). In Daniel the Abomination refers to the acts of the pagan king Antiochus Epiphanes who desecrated the Jerusalem Temple in 168 BC. He installed an idol of Jupiter Olympus and sacrificed a pig on the Great Altar before the Temple. After the sacrifice he ordered his men to spread the broth of the swine throughout the Temple. {3}

330px-Jupiter_Smyrna_Louvre_Ma13

Jupiter Olympus was also known as Zeus the father of Apollo. He was the chief deity of the Greeks and later of the Romans as Jupiter. He was the god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology.

It is interesting to note at this point that Satan is also known as the archon or prince of the air (also identified with Baal and Haddad, gods of thunder and storms), and as  Ba‘al Zəbûb the Philistine “lord of the flies” or the lord of those who flit from one place to another.

Jesus warned the Jews and anyone else living in Jerusalem that “when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand); Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains (Matt.25:15,16).

In other words, run as fast as you can to escape what is about to take place!

His point was that when the Abomination of Desolation happens, that one act will be  a sign that the Great Tribulation has begun.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (Matt. 24:21).

Daniel called the Beast a King of Fierce Countenance (8:23) which describes the presence of his person. This describes him as “hard of face”  {4} meaning that he will be stern or severe and full of arrogance and pride. {5}
Daniel says that he will be a war king invading many lands including Israel and the city of Jerusalem (Dan 11:41, 42). In fact, in Daniel 11 from verse 36 on, the narrative is all about war; the Antichrist, the King of Fierce Countenance will be the instigator of it all.

Indeed, even Jesus said of this time that if not for his personal intervention, “there shall no flesh be saved” (Matt. 24:22). War will consume humanity so much that it will be impossible to compare it with any other time in the history of the world; in fact, during this period of time over 2 billion people will die (see Revelation 9:15,18).

Christians and Jews will be marked for persecution and execution. Daniel says that the Little Horn (the Antichrist Beast) will “war with the saints, and prevail against them” (Dan.7:21). Daniel also says the Beast “shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” “and by peace shall destroy many (Dan. 8:24,25).
The Apostle John says that the Beast will kill the Two Witnesses (Rev.11:7), “and it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations” (Rev.13:7).
In fact, one theme that runs through the Revelation is that Christians will be consumed by the Beast.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held (Rev.6:9-11).
It is interesting to note that these saints are told to rest; because they will be joined in a short while by other brethren  who will be killed by the Beast just as they were  (Rev.6:11).
The Great Whore of Babylon (representing the spiritual elements of Beast worship) has a golden cup in her hand filled with the blood of the martyrs of the church.
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (Rev.17:6).
The good news is that even when this is happening  the saints “overcame him (the Beast) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”  (Rev.12:11).
Finally the saints who died during the Great Tribulation are with Jesus in the Kingdom of the King; and the Great Physician dries their tears and heals the soul and body from all tribulation.
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 worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  Revelation 20:4

As you have seen, the biblical picture of the Beast is not of a Messiah-like figure. As I said before, that is reserved for the False Prophet. The Beast is a warrior, a Warrior-King, as revealed through this Bible study. We must get away from popular depictions of the Antichrist and return to biblical revelation.

Only then will the truth be revealed to us and that will prevent our being deceived.  One of the signs of the times is powerful deception. As Christians we have two things that will prevent deception in these days. We have the Holy Spirit who enlightens our mind to the Word and speaks the Will of God to our heart, and we have the Word itself, the Scriptures. Read the Bible for truth, for understanding, and to gain knowledge about God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and our future. Everything that we need to successfully navigate these trying days is to be found in the Bible.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16,17

EBOLA NEWS

I knew this would happen. Now, hospital emergency rooms and personnel are scrambling to get the latest info about how to handle the deadly Ebola problem. Everyone claims they are prepared and then we find out that a Texas hospital turned away an active Ebola victim with only a  handful of antibiotics.

Americans are in a panic, buying protective gear like there is no tomorrow.

Sales of gas masks, bio-hazard suits and foil blankets soar as ‘survivalists’ prepare for Ebola epidemic – and warn others to store water

That advice may be prudent if the Feds decide to quarantine certain areas.

Most Americans have lost their way though, instead of Gas masks and protective suits perhaps we should turn to God like the leadership of Liberia have done.

We all need to be in prayer at this time, the world has only one hope:
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.  When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;  (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Deuteronomy 4:29-31
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! Isaiah 31:1
Stay in prayer, stay in the faith, trust in Jesus.
He is risen, he is risen indeed!
