I Can Predict The Future!

05 Aug

I know the only Being that happens to know what the future brings!  His name is God and we all were created by Him and Jesus!

Isaiah 46:9-10 – 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.  10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.  I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

That fact of the matter is many people want to know the future.  What’s sad is most of them would rather be told something glamorous, or mysterious about their own lives instead of really wanting to know the future, because there is one who does know it.  Every second of it, for every human that has lived or will live.

God has not predicted future events in the Bible.  He has had men of God write about the things that will take place because God has seen them already.  Since God is eternal, He sees time differently than we do.

I only used the title I can predict the future, because I’m predicting that God’s Word is right.  Pretty bold aren’t I?  I’m taking a book with a perfect prophecy record and while seeing all the end time prophecies coming together, I’m putting my endorsement on it. 

That’s just the kind of risk taker I am. 🙂

God has let us know the events for the last days.  They are now developing at a rapid pace.  You don’t need a crystal ball, tarot cards, or palm reading.  You just need a bible and a willingness to want to know the Truth.

If you have come across this post by accident, I write once a week on End Time Prophecies of the Bible.  In fact since I am categorizing this under that category there should be quite a few under this post if you got here by the search engine.

You were wonderfully made by God.  I hope you check the site out and add it to your favorites.   If you don’t know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, my prayer is that you do before the end of this life.  I have created a page over on the upper right column named “How to accept Jesus as Savior.”

God Bless.

144,000 Jews – Pre-Trib Rapture

03 Aug

The next supporting scriptures for Pre-Tribulation rapture support are found in Revelation.

Revelation 7:3-8 –  3“Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
 5From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
   from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
   from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
 6from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
   from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
   from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
 7from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
   from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
   from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
 8from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
   from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
   from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

There is a thing known as replacement theology in the world.  I am NOT one of those people.  God made a promise to the Jewish people.  The Bible couldn’t be clearer that this promise is still going to be fulfilled.  The reason I bring that up is because the people sealed are Jews.  Not Jehovah Witnesses, not people taking the place of these 144,000, these are 12,000 Jewish people from each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

So God is going to protect a remnant of Jewish people by putting a seal on their forehead.

What, none for the church?  Why would God protect these 144,000 Jews and not the Church?

Not that big of an issue to the Church if they’re gone already.

When God comes back at the end of the Tribulation, He will rule and reign as the Jewish Messiah and over all who are left on the Earth.  One thing that is very clear is replacement theology people don’t take the Bible literally.

Take the Bible literally.  It’s God’s Word and it’s literally happening before your very eyes.

Daniel Chapter 2 –One World Government – End Time Prophecy – Part 4

30 Jul

We left off speaking about the fourth kingdom and finished with verses 41-43 from Daniel chapter 2.

This week we talk about the greatest one that will come and it will never end.

Daniel 2:44 –   44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

This will be a kingdom that never ends.  Who is going to set it up?  The God in Heaven and this one will not be left to another people.

Daniel 2:45 – 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
      “The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy.”

Who is the Rock that is cut out of the mountain?  None other than the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, which is Jesus Christ. 

Revelation 19:11-21 – 11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
       KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

 17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.”

 19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Quite an entry!  It is after this that Jesus starts to run His kingdom.  Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven.   Recognize that prayer and didn’t know what it stood for? 

Don’t be one of those trying to make war against the Rider on the horse.  Their fate is revealed right here.  

The armies of Heaven were following Him.  This is the army you want to be in.  Uncle Sam isn’t calling your name to join in this scenario.  If you don’t know Him yet as your Savior and King, it’s the Holy Spirit your hearing.  I invite you to go over to the right column of this blog and click on Accept Jesus As Your Savior if you haven’t done so already in your life.

Romans 5:9 – Saved From God’s Wrath – Pre-Trib Rapture Support Scripture

26 Jul

Romans 5:9 – 9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

Here is another verse to look at that suggests that we are to be saved from God’s wrath.  Previously we looked at 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11.  Both of those verses were along the same lines so were up to three that specifically speak on being saved from God’s wrath.

Just a reminder; to see past rapture posts or other past posts of any kind, just go over to the category, archives, or previous recent posts and click on it. 

In Romans 5:9 it states that we are justified by his sacrifice.  In essence we are saved by His blood before the throne of God.  So it’s taking it one step further here.  It’s not stating a second time that we are saved for the same thing.  It’s going on to say “How much more” shall we be saved from God’s wrath also through Him!  Explanation point not question mark as we see in the scripture.

Some Post Tribbers believe the Church goes through the Tribulation to cleanse itself.  A certain worthiness endured.  However, the scripture above states we are not purified by our obedience or bravery in Christ.  We are purified by the Blood of Jesus.

Once again another scripture stating they we are not appointed but saved from God’s wrath.  For a recap, how soon into the Tribulation does it mention wrath?

Revelation 6:16-17 – 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Once again Revelation Chapter 6 is when the Seal Judgments are getting under way.  It’s the first chapter in Revelation that even begins any kind of chaos or judgments.  So if were appointed not to suffer God’s wrath, I would say this scripture helps out the Pre-Trib rapture position.

Daniel Chapter 2 –One World Government – End Time Prophecy – Part 3

23 Jul

In Part 2 we got through the first three world governments.  If you haven’t read parts 1 & 2, I invite you to go over to the End Time Prophecy category and click on it.  The next two below this one will be parts one and two.

Daniel 2:40 – 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others.

In 63 BC, Rome became the fourth world government.  It truly has been the strongest and the largest government of them all.  No one else defeated the Roman Empire.  It just started dying and decaying from within and was so big that it just dissolved.  Bits and pieces began to be conquered.   Probably a better way to put it is the decline of the Roman Empire.  By 500 AD it was a remnant of what it was.

Daniel 2:41-43 –  41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

Even though the scripture doesn’t really break from verse 40 to 41, you can see that we are now adding clay with the iron and we are going from the two legs into toes.  It’s these toes that are Iron mixed with clay.  Ten toes to be exact.  Ten is a significant number because both in Daniel and Revelation we see 10 horns as a description.  But let’s talk about the toes.

The ten toes are a divided kingdom, though they do have some strength like iron in them they still are partly brittle, as clay is brittle.  This revived kingdom is definitely linked to the one before it or something other than iron would be mentioned with the clay. 

There has been no other world government since the Roman Empire.  We have had those who have tried to make one.

A couple of the most recent rulers that have tried were Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte.  Both fell short of their goals.  They both have tried to do it by the means of conquering.

The world government we see forming before our very eyes is definitely brittle.  However, it’s not hard to understand why.  Powerful influences have been pushing us towards this world government, but you still have so many different thought processes amongst the people themselves.

They have done a good job of tearing down a great country like America, but do they really think Russia is on board?  According to Ezekiel they’re not.  They have their own goals and plans.  How about the Muslim nations?  Sure Christians are taught vengeance is Mine sayeth the Lord and to turn the other cheek.  When Christian’s aren’t they bring up the crusades.  Do you think the Muslims are going to roll over?  No.  They have a goal on conquest and their rulers aren’t trying to sell them out like the Christian nation rulers are.

Iron mixed with clay.  This world government will definitely be just that.  But it’s coming.  All one has to do is look at what they have been attempting to accomplish, read bible prophecy, and realize…it’s coming together quickly.

Next week let’s talk about that last Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 2.

Isaiah 26:19-21 – Supporting Pre Trib Rapture Verses

20 Jul

Isaiah 26:19-21 – 19 But your dead will live; their bodies will rise.  You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy.  Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.  20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.  21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins.  The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer.

Here is a very interesting verse in the Old Testament from the prophet Isaiah.

Is it on the rapture?  Let’s read it more carefully and break it down.

In verse nineteen it certainly sounds like a rapture verse.  Your dead will live and their bodies will rise.  You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy.  The earth will give birth to their dead.

That reminds me of another verse we have went over a couple of times from Paul.

1 Corinthians 15:52-54 – 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

There seems to be a pretty good parallel there.  Also in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 it talks about the dead rising first, concerning the rapture.

To me verse nineteen fits with others.  Let’s move onto verse twenty.

In Isaiah 26:20 it talks about enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you.  This could mean the Jewish people he is talking to could be hiding, possibly sealed, when the Lord displays His wrath.  However, a verse that also comes to mind is this one.

John 14:2-3 –  2In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Does this indicate that we will go to be in our rooms, or mansions, as the KJV states?  Then after the wrath, we come down with God at the end of the Tribulation?  At the rapture you receive your resurrected body, so one could enjoy his new heavenly dwelling with a new body.

One other important thing I want to hit on concerning verses 19 and 20 before moving on.  In nineteen we start with the rising of the dead.  Why would God raise the dead for a new life in which they are shouting for joy and then have to shield or protect them during His wrath?  Wouldn’t it be easier to wait afterwards if they were not going to a place of safety?  So if the dead have risen and they shouting for joy, but this is not the rapture, they better hurry and find a door to go behind before God spills down His wrath.  They also better find a door to get behind because the Antichrist is trying to kill them too.  But, wait, weren’t they already dead?  How can they be killed again?  After they have been resurrected?  We know that can’t happen and it wouldn’t make sense that way.

What makes verses 19-21 appear to be an event that takes place during the end times?  Well, one is dead people rising, but they did that when Jesus resurrected also.  Two the Bible speaks about a time when God will pour out His wrath on all on mankind that lives on Earth.  Verse twenty-one hits on that very thing.

Isaiah 26:21 – 21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins.  The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer.

The flood had already passed and the next judgment in which God pours down His wrath on man concerning the whole earth is in the last days.  

I believe Isaiah 26:19-21 fits right in line with the Pre-Tribulation rapture theory.

There is a crown for those who love His appearing.  Why?  Because if you love the idea of Jesus coming back right now, you are probably trying to live for Him and are excited to see Him.  Worth Rewarding?  From what I read about my King and Savior, I would say yes. 

If you’re not excited about the Lord returning at any second and you’re not looking for Him at all, you’re probably not living for Him.  Start today making it your goal to live for Him every day so you can be rewarded and excited about standing in front of Him.

Daniel Chapter 2 –One World Government – End Time Prophecy – Part 2

16 Jul

Last week we went through a simple rundown of Daniel after he and other Israelites were taken to Babylon after the capture of Judah.

This week we start in on the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar had.  He summons all of the wise men of Babylon and explained that he had a dream and wanted it interpreted.  If none of the wise men could do it, he would have them all killed.  Daniel sought God and the Lord gave him the dream and the interpretation.

Daniel 2:31-35 – 31 “You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

An amazing dream and what’s even more amazing is that God gave the interpretation to Daniel to share with Nebuchadnezzar.

Daniel 2:36-37 – 36 “This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.

Daniel referred to Nebuchadnezzar as the king of kings.  The reason he was saying that is because at that time King Nebuchadnezzar had pretty much controlled the world at the time as a kingdom.  He was the head of gold at the top of the statue.

Daniel 2:39 –  39 “After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours.  …….

Inferior meaning not as rich.  The chest and arms were made of silver.  Interestingly enough there are two arms.  The Medes and the Persians working together indeed conquered Babylon later on in 539 BC.  Daniel was still alive at this time and that story is written in Chapter 5.

Going on and finishing the rest of verse 39 we see another kingdom.

Daniel 2:39 – ….. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth.

In 330 BC, Greece conquered the Medes and the Persians and became the next kingdom on the earth.  They were the belly and thighs of bronze.   Also still going down in wealth as bronze is not as rich as silver and gold.

Next week we will continue on with Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and work our way into the fourth kingdom.  Why is this dream so important?  As you can see we are talking about world governments.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 – Not Appointed To Suffer Wrath – Pre Trib – Rapture

13 Jul

We are continuing on with the support scriptures of a pre-tribulation rapture.  This week is another scripture that indicates we are to be spared from God’s wrath.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 – 9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We talked last week that the righteous will not be swept away with the wicked.  What makes you righteous?   By accepting Jesus Christ and his blood sacrifice on the cross.

Who is wicked?  We are all wicked, some more than others, but none-the-less all.  It’s not about what we can do to get back to God, but what God did through His Son.

So we see once again that those in Jesus Christ are not appointed to suffer wrath.

Some mid-tribbers will state that the last three and half years is when God pours out His wrath.  The first three and half years are just hardships.  What does the book of Revelation say?

Revelation 6:16 – 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

So the sixth seal indicates that it is a part of the wrath of the Lamb!  Who is the Lamb that was slain?  Jesus.  Who do we read Jesus is in Revelation?

Revelation 1:7-8 –  7Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.  8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 1:17-18 – 17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

So the wrath of the Lamb is the wrath of God.  When is it mentioned?  Just the sixth seal into the Tribulation which is in chapter 6.  The tribulation doesn’t start until the 6th chapter.  It also states that only the Lion from the Tribe of Judah and the Lamb that was slain was worthy to open up the scroll and begin the seal judgments.  The second, third, and fourth seals, are war, famine, and pestilence.  Would these be considered wraths from God?  Jesus is the only One who could open the seals and initiate them, so my guess is yes.  

How soon are the seal judgments released into the Tribulation?  Well we know that the Seal Judgments are the first of three sets of seven judgments each that are unleashed.  The second group of seven judgments is called the Trumpet Judgments.  The third set is the Bowl Judgments.

In Chapter 11 we have the Seventh Trumpet Judgment happening.  In Chapter 12 we have Satan being cast down after losing a battle in Heaven.  Why is this significant?  Because we know that Satan incarnates the Antichrist’s body after he is killed.  That is at the 3 and half year point.  So if the seventh trumpet judgment happens before that, it leaves only the Bowl Judgments left.

My whole point is that the 6th Seal appears to happen within a year or two into the Tribulation.  The other point is I believe all the Seal Judgments are part of the wrath of God.

To recap both the scripture that started this post and the one in the previous posts:

1 Thessalonians 5:9 – 9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 – 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

According to the scriptures from Paul we will not be here for the wrath that is to come, but are rescued by Jesus Christ.

Daniel Chapter 2 –One World Government – End Time Prophecy – Part 1

09 Jul

Last week we went over Revelation chapter 13 concerning the one world government.  Daniel is a great book and actually reveals the different world empires to come. 

Daniel was taken captive when Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel finally fell to Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC.  Some of the nobility of the Royal Israelites were taken and trained for three years to be of service to the King (Nebuchadnezzar).  Some of the others that were trained were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  They were the ones thrown into the fire for not worshipping an idol and God saved them.

In Daniel Chapter 2 Nebuchadnezzar has a dream.  He summons all the wise men and astrologers.  He tells them he had a dream and it troubled him.  Nebuchadnezzar told them that not only did he want them to interpret the dream, but they had to tell him what it was about.  If they couldn’t then he was going to kill them.

For a few verses more the astrologers pleaded with the King and stated what he asks is too hard.

Daniel 2:12 – 12 This made the king so angry and furious that he ordered the execution of all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel got wind of this and he along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego prayed to God for the dream and the interpretation. 

Did God give them the interpretation?  Absolutely!  Did He give it to them before the earnestly prayed and sought God?  No.  Is there a lesson to be learned here?   Yes.  Pray and seek God always.  Now back to the story.

Daniel 2:19-23 – 19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.  21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them.  He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.  22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.  23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:  You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Daniel is then taken before King Nebuchadnezzar.

Daniel 2:26-28 –  26 The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), “Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?”

 27 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you lay on your bed are these:

Am I going to stop here?  Of course I am.  We’re at about at that 60 to 90 second mark.  I do want to reiterate what Daniel just said.  Only God knows the future and He didn’t just give it to Nebuchadnezzar.  He has revealed it and shared it with each and every one of us.  We’re living in the days when more of it than ever is coming to pass.  Don’t get caught up into the world and miss it.  Next Friday we continue on with this End Time Prophecy Post.

Satan Hates You With A Passion

08 Jul

Who is Satan?

A guy in a red suit? 
A radical fallen angel who just likes to have a good time and party?
A creation of God who decided, “I just got to be me!?”

Jesus had this to say about Satan to the Jews who were rejecting him.

John 8:44 – 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Humans can’t even hold a candle to Satan when it becomes to being evil.  They are only students of the most infamous murderer of all.

Joseph Stalin, Russian leader between the late 1920’s until his death of 1953, had around 60 million people die while under his leadership.  It is estimated that 20 million of those were killed by repression, famine, etc.  Others died in war figured around 20 million.  The numbers drastically fluctuate, but as you can see he still ranks in the tops of all time as a lethal guy to be under.

Mao Zedong (tse-tung), leader of China in 1943-1976.  He was known as the leader that had more deaths in peace time than any other ruler.  Estimates run between 40-70 million people.

Then there is the infamous Adolf Hitler.  Holocaust is responsible for 11-14 million lives.  Six Million Jews exterminated.  Why is Hitler possibly the most evil dictator?  He used Genocide to kill people.  He wasn’t just killing to remain in power but exterminating certain groups.  He is responsible for World War II that cost 56 million lives.

Plenty of groups such as the Scythians and Barbarians in the past brutally mutilated or tortured people.  They couldn’t think of worse ways to treat and destroy people.

Why do I say all this?  Because their father Satan, puts them all to shame.  Here’s another one for you.  Satan hates them too.  He doesn’t know how to love.  There are Satanist out there committed to him and he hates them too.  Ironic when you think about.  Normally when you give up yourself to anyone, you want to be loved back.

Peter warns us about the Devil in 1 Peter 5:8 –  8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

In the last three and half years of the Tribulation that comes upon the world that we read about in Revelation, Satan loses a war and is cast down from Heaven.
Revelation 12:7-8 – 7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

It says in Revelation 12:12 that Satan is full of fury because his time is short.
    12Therefore rejoice, you heavens
      and you who dwell in them!
   But woe to the earth and the sea,
      because the devil has gone down to you!
   He is filled with fury,
      because he knows that his time is short.”

The 3 and half year mark is when the Antichrist is fatally wounded.  He is miraculously raised  from the dead.  That’ s because Satan incarnates him and now demands to be worshipped as God.  The false Prophet, who is of Satan, makes an Image of him and demands that it be worshipped.  If people do not, they are killed.  Also he causes all to have the Mark of the Beast or they are unable to buy or sell.  Once again if people don’t they will be killed.
Revelations 13:11-18 – 11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.  18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.

Satan obviously goes immediately after the Jews and the new Christians that have now converted after the rapture.  He does this because both groups remind him of Jesus.  However, in Revelation 17, he goes after the great prostitute.  I believe the great prostitute is the one world church that you already see the spirit of now on this Earth.  Once Christians are gone the world religions are going to form one big happy family and the only taboo is intolerance.  That’s another post though.  The point is for the first half of the tribulation it says she rides the beast.  It’s a major player in the last days.  In Revelation 17:16 Satan and his current kingdom will now turn on the great prostitute and kill them.  16The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

Starting to see a theme here?  Satan now wants to be worshipped in the last days.  Right now it’s just fine if you believe whatever you want as long as it isn’t worshipping Jesus Christ, but that will change and he will demand to be worshipped in the last days.  The people that won’t, he will want them to die.  However, hopefully when they do it’s for Christ.

Before Satan is done he will kill Millions.  New Christians.  Jews.  anybody that doesn’t worship him or the take the Mark of the Beast.

He is a LYING MURDERER and he has been taken way too lightly in our generation.

So right now, who do you want to serve?  Here are two characters.

Character A -Helped create you.  Came to Earth and died in your place for your sins.  Stands in front of God and intercedes for you.

Character B-  Someone who hates you.  He wants disaster in your life and the more the better.  Would love to inflict pain on you.  Take away any joy you have.  One who stands in front of God and accuses you of all your wrongdoings.

Who will you serve?  Yourself?  No one?  Whomever I choose?

If that’s your answer, you didn’t come up with it first.  Satan beat you to it.

John 10:7-10 New King James Version –  7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The thief is Satan.  Please, if you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Savior do so now.  There is a page that will help you do so in right column.  You can be saved and escape the wrath that is to come.
