Corporate &
Individual Forgiveness
The understanding of corporate
and individual forgiveness
is one of the major keys to the
understanding of the story of prophecy,
and human ignorance is one of God's
methods used to seal the words of the
prophecy. When Jesus terminates His
intercession at the golden altar in
Revelation 8:2-6 'corporate intercession'
ends for the entire world, but individual
intercession continues. Daniel never uses
the word he uses the words 'the
daily,' which refers to
intercession. In this great story when
Daniel uses the word 'daily'
you know that Jesus is interceding or
terminating intercession, and know
whether it is corporate or individual
intercession by time. |

Antitypical Day of
Judgment
The word
‘antitypical’ means ‘in
place of.’ The Day of Atonement in
the earthy sanctuary was an acting out,
like ‘a puppet show’ using live
people to explain how God will judge the
world at the set time by cleansing the
sanctuary. The cleansing of the sanctuary
is how God removes sin from our lives and
is able to treat us as though we never
sinned.The
First Two Steps: Choose Two Goats and
Slay the Lord’s
The priest choose one
goat for Satan (Azazel) and the
other goat for the Lord to die for all
Israel.

Sprinkling the
Blood on the Atonement Cover
Third Step: Sprinkling
the Blood on the Atonement Cover
The priest takes the blood and sprinkles
it on the atonement cover. The act of
sprinkling the blood on the atonement
cover was saying, ‘Here is the blood
– the debt is paid; sinners are
dead.’ The Law of God is satisfied ‘for
the wages of sin is death’ (Romans
6:23). |

Put Blood on the
Horns of the Golden Altar Cleansing It
Four Step: Put Blood on
the Horns of the Golden Altar Cleansing
It.
Then the priest would go into the Holy
Place and put blood on the horns of golden
altar, cleansing Israel corporately
for the entire year. The people would be
outside praying to God, thanking Him for
His goodness and forgiveness, and praying
that the priest did everything correctly
so that the Atonement for Israel was
accepted. The Day of Atonement was very
serious business. Israel did
not understand that this
service was only ‘a type’ of
judgment, or a puppet show using real
people to explain what God would do for REAL.
The book of Daniel was
sealed; therefore this show that took
place every year was very serious to
them, that is, a matter of life and death
eternally.

the priest would go out of the Tent of
Meeting and put blood on the horns of the
altar of burnt offering, cleansing the
sins of every individual that came in

forgiveness}. Note: the
three things that Aaron made atonement
for {1} the Most Holy or the atonement
cover, {2} the Tent of Meeting or the

rebellion of the Israelites – all
their sins – and put them on the
goat’s head. |

A Man of Good
Report Leads the Goat into the Desert to
Die
When we confess and repent
of our sins God forgives us because Satan
is the originator and perpetuator of sin.
He has led millions to rebel against God
over the history of the world. Satan
loves sin, so God lays all the sin of the
world upon him, with all its
consequences, which is eternal death. All
those who die in Christ, having lived a
life of daily prayer, asking the Holy
Spirit to living within their hearts, are
cleansed of all their sins, including the
carnal nature, and are sealed with the
nature of Jesus. When each of us wakes up
on the resurrection of life we will have
no desire for sin. Sin will be absolutely
horrible to us. Jesus will have recreated
us with all together lovely character
that was given so freely to Adam.
Everyone will have the freedom of choice
and we will have perfect hatred for sin. |

The Judgment of
the World, the Cleansing of the Sanctuary
We have learned that our
sins are forgiven because Jesus died as
our substitute. You should have also
learned that nothing you have done in
your life has any merit in saving you.
Each person is saved by faith in Jesus
alone. We also learned that as we confess
our sins they are transferred to the
sanctuary to be cleansed. If you live
carelessly thinking you are just as good
as the next guy and neglect or reject the
pleading of the Holy Spirit that leads
everyone to repentance, you will be lost.
The date that God chose to judge each
person and cleanse the sanctuary of each
person’s sins was set before the
world began as 1844 AD or two thousand
three hundred years from the date the
Medo-Persian King, Artaxerxes, signed the
decree to release Israel to go home and
finish rebuilding Jerusalem. Beginning in
1844 Jesus reviewed the life of Abel, the
first person to die, and Abel’s sins
were cleansed from the sanctuary because
of his faith in the Saviour; thus Abel
was sealed with eternal life. Then Jesus
opened the books of the next
person’s life and so forth down
through the centuries of time sealing
some with eternal life and condemning
others with eternal death.

Judgment of the
dead
Acts 17:31
“Because He has appointed
a day which he will judge the world
in righteousness by the man whom He has
ordained. He has given assurance of this
to all by raising Him [Jesus]
from the
dead.” A
person is judged after he dies because
death ends each person’s ability to
do any more good or evil. |
[view] |
| 60 |
Judgment of the
Living
Jesus causes the Great
Tribulation to judge the living. The
crisis of the tribulation reveals the
character of each person, like developing
film. During the tribulation good
people will be kind to their fellowmen,
sharing what they have; trusting in God
to save them, but evil
people will lie, steal, and kill to
survive. Every person that worships God
falls short in his daily life of being
perfect. The life and death of Jesus is
each believer’s substitute. This
means Jesus gives those that trust in Him
the record of His life to their account
and His altogether lovely nature; thus
cleansing each person of the carnal
nature. When Jesus wakes up the billions
of sleeping saints that have died since
the time of righteous Abel, they come
forth from their graves in the image of
God that was freely given to Adam. Each
person wakes up with the altogether
lovely nature of Christ, but still has
their individual personality. Just as
each rose is unique to itself, each
person has his own unique personality,
except there are no thorns. |

Human
Righteousness
Many people believe that
when you die, they go to heaven if they
are a good person. Every average
citizen that lives a good life believes
he is just as good as his neighbor. When
the average good person looks at the life
of Sister Teresa, they think everyone has
to be as good as her or there’s
going to be a lot of people in hell.
These people think God weighs the good
against the bad, and then, out of mercy,
winks at the bad and lets you into heaven
– after all no one’s perfect
– well except for One. God does not
think like we do, and He does not
judge anyone based upon good
deeds of humans. The Bible teaches that
God looks upon our best goodness as
filthy rags. The good things we do
have no merit in
God’s decision to grant us eternal
life – everybody is saved through
faith in Jesus. God gives righteousness
as a gift. There is nothing we do to earn
salvation. Furthermore it is an insult to
God to offer an ‘improvement’
over the life and death of His Son.
The payment Jesus has made for each of us
far exceeds the bill. The life of Jesus
is infinitely more valuable than millions
of worlds. |

Eternal Life
Ephesians 2:8-10 For
it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith
– and this is not
from yourselves, it
is a gift of God
– not by works,
so that no one can
boast. For we
are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do a good
works, which prepared in advance for us
to do. Abraham chose to
follow and worship God many
years before his test of sacrificing his
son Isaac. If Abraham had refused to obey
God, he would have lost his blessing of
seeing the Messiah and growing
spiritually. Abraham obeyed God because
he trusted Him, way beyond his own
emotions and human reasoning. Abraham did
not understand
why God asked him to slay his only son, but
he believed in God. Abraham
was not saved by works, but his works
were proof that he trusted God more than
his own thoughts, and way beyond the
limits of most people. God did not ask
Abraham to kill his son. Life of Isaac
came from God, and God was asking Abraham
to return the life back to God. Abraham
trusted God so completely that he was
willing to slay Isaac believing God would
raise him from the dead. |

Sealing the
144,000 Servants of God
Revelation 7:3-4 ‘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.” Then I
heard the number of
those who were sealed: 144,000 from all
the tribes of Israel. The
subject of the 144,000 has been discussed
as long as I can remember, always ending
about the same as it started with many
questions. Is the 144,000 literal? John
said, ‘I heard the
number.’ So what is the
problem? Many think because there are
only 144,000 that are sealed that this is
the total number of the living people
saved when Jesus comes, but this is so
few compared to the seven billion people
living on earth that it is rejected by
most. Then the great multitude that
no man can number seems like too many
people to be saved when Jesus comes; so
most people believe this is the total of
the people saved goes back to the time of
Adam. The 144,000 are sealed before the
Great Tribulation begins as God’s
evangelists. They are the servant –
prophets that give the four angel’s
messages to this dying world. Their
messages are put into their mouths by God
Himself and they will be hated and killed
by this wicked world because of their
testimony to the Word of God. The great
multitude that no man can number is the
harvest of their labor. The great
multitude goes through the entire
tribulation and sees Jesus come in the
clouds of heaven. There are over one
billion people that live to see Jesus
come without seeing death. In
a nutshell literal Israel
and the Gentiles failed to take the
gospel to the world. Only about one-third
of the seven billion or a little more
than two billion know anything about our
wonderful God and His Son Jesus, and the
other five billion don’t know and
many of them don’t really want to
know! Jesus is personally picking His
144,000 servants from every nation in the
world to finish the work of evangelism
during the Great Tribulation that will
begin very soon. The 144,000 servants are
firstfruits of the main
harvest; thus the main
harvest is a mirror of the 144,000. |

Living in the
Present 'Delay'
Revelation 7:2-3 Then I
saw another angel [Jesus] coming
up from the east, having the seal of the
living God. He called out in a loud voice
to the four angels who had been given
power to harm the land and the sea:
“Do not harm the land or the sea or
the trees until
[the delay] we
put a seal on the foreheads of servants
of our God.” The
‘Delay’ Jesus
created by halting the four angels from
hurting the earth occurred in 1994. We
are presently living
in the time of extra grace called the ‘delay.’
In 1994 A.D. seven angels in
Revelation 8:2 were given seven trumpets
in preparation to hurt the earth, sea,
and trees, but Jesus halted
the four angels from releasing the four
winds that were about to blow the first
four trumpets. The ‘delay’ in
1994 A.D. was planned before the
foundation of the earth to intentionally
let the last generation know they are
very close to the beginning of the Great
Tribulation. |
[view] |
| 65 |
And another angel
[Jesus] came and stood at the altar
Jesus was at the altar of
Incense, He was given much incense to
offer, with the prayers of all the
saints, on the golden altar [that stands]
before the throne. The smoke of the
incense, together with the prayers of the
saints [their petitions], went up before
God [a very sweet aroma filled the court]
from the angel’s hand. The Bible
says that “all”
of the saints (God’s children
everywhere) are petitioning God when
Revelation 8:3-5 occurs. The only thing
that could move all of God’s
children at the same time, as religiously
diverse as we are, is a global crisis. |
[view] |
| 66 |
In 1994 Four
Angels were Sent to Earth to Sound Their
Trumpets
So, the four angels in
Revelation 7:1-3 have been waiting to
hurt Earth for several years. We know
they are waiting because (a) the five
phenomena described in Revelation 8:3-7
have not occurred at any time in history,
and (b) the first four trumpets judgments
have not yet fallen. Therefore, the four
angels in Revelation 7 are patiently
waiting for the service described in
Revelation 8:3-5 to occur. |
[view] |
| 67 |
Stop, first we
need to seal God's servants
In 1994 A.D the first four
of the seven angels that had been given
the seven trumpets were about to release
the four winds to blow the first four
trumpets when Jesus ‘called
out in a loud voice to the angels who had
been given power to harm the land and the
sea: “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.” The destruction
by the first four trumpets were delayed
to seal the 144,000 servants that will
finish the job that both Israel and the
Gentiles failed to do; thus we are living
in an extra time of grace
that can end at any time. |
[view] |
| 68 |
After this I saw
four angels standing at the four corners
of the earth, holding back the four winds
If Jesus had
started the Great Tribulation in 1994
A.D. the tribulation would have already
been over, but the number of people saved
would have been far less. Sorrow,
disease, suffering, and death would be no
more and we would be enjoying eternal
life like the twenty-four elders, Moses,
Elijah, and Enoch in heaven. So now we
are waiting for Jesus to finish sealing
the 144,000 servants of God that will
evangelize the entire world in three and
a half years. As soon as Jesus finishes
sealing the 144,000 servant-prophets the
first four trumpets will destroy
one-third of our earth warning the
inhabitants that God is shutting this
world down in 1,335 days {Daniel
12:11-12}. |

The Sounding of
the First Four Trumpets, the Opening of
the Fourth Seal
The first 890 days of
God’s early wrath begins with the
opening of the fourth seal – this is
the sounding off the first four trumpets.
It will begin in the near
future with the termination
of ‘the daily’ intercession
of Jesus at the golden altar that began
six thousand years ago in the Garden of
Eden after Adam and Even sinned. When
Jesus terminates ‘the
daily’ the fourth seal is opened,
which causes death to twenty-five percent
of the world’s population in less
than thirty days {Revelation 8:7-12}.
This will not be
seen on television – you will
witness these events with your own eyes. |

In 1994 Seven
Angels were given Seven Trumpets
God begins His new year at
the first full moon after the vernal
equinox in the Spring that is sometime
during our March/April. In 1994 the seven
angels of Revelation 8:2 were given seven
trumpets sometime during that year. 1994
is established by the understanding of
‘the great day’ of seventy
‘weeks’ in Daniel 9:24. The
seventy ‘sevens’ of Daniel 9:24
is ‘a part’ of the great week
representing ‘the whole week.’
There are exactly two great days counting
backwards from Artaxerxes decree in 457
B.C. to the Exodus of Israel in 1437 B.C.
or nine hundred eighty years. The 2,300
years of Daniel 8:14 continues the
counting of time from Artaxerxes decree
in 457 B.C. to 1844 A.D. that began the
cleansing of the sanctuary or the
judgment of the world. The date of 1844
forces the Jubilee Calendar to continue
down through the centuries to the seventh
great day ending in 1994 A.D. |

Jesus Intercedes
at The Golden Altar
Revelation 8:3-6 Another
angel, who had a golden censer, came and
stood at the altar. He was given much
incense to offer, with the prayers of the
saints, on the golden
altar before the
throne. The smoke of the incense,
together with the prayers of the saints,
went up before God from the angel’s
hand. Then the angel took the censer,
filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled
it on the earth; and
there came peals of thunder, flashes of
lightening and an earthquake. Then
the seven angels who had the seven
trumpets prepared to sound them.
There is one possibility
that could cause all of God’s saints
to pray the same thing at the same time,
namely, nuclear war. Here is a possible
scenario. One day, simmering hostilities
could erupt and quickly escalate into a
nuclear exchange. Tens of millions could
die in this war. This war could affect
our struggling economy and immediately
affect the distribution of oil, food,
clothing, building materials, and
commerce of all kinds. If nations joined
in, this war could quickly become a
fearful event for most people on Earth.
If such a war occurred – and the
global consequences would be far reaching
– the whole world would cry out
(demand) “peace and safety.” In
other worlds, a nuclear exchange could
bring all of God’s people to the
point of praying for God’s
intervention. |

The First Four
Angels Sound Four Trumpets
The first four trumpets will
come in a group of four rapid-fire
judgments. I understand that these four
judgments could fall over a period of
about sixty days. These four judgments
will occur in their started order. Four
distinctive blows will produce
unimaginable death and destruction. They
will change the thinking and priorities
of mankind overnight. The death and
destruction left in their wake will be
incalculable, and amazingly, all of this
global upheaval will be cause by a team
of only four angels! It is a gross
understatement to say the whole world
will be in shambles by the time the
fourth trumpet judgment has been
executed. If actions speak louder than
words, the first four trumpets will speak
volumes. Jesus has much to say to
this diverse world. To get
everyone’s attention, He will send a
display of power and destruction that
will silence the din of war and the
defiance of skeptics. Keep in mind that
Jesus display of power and destruction
will not be a temper tantrum. Jesus will
not smash and trash the world in a random
way. His display of wrath is carefully
designed to accomplish many objectives
and one of them is to prompt a unified
response from mankind. |

Burning Hail on
Wicked Cities
Trumpet #1. Shortly
(perhaps 30 days) after the first global
earthquake, showers of white-hot
hailstones will rain down from the sky.
Meteoric firestorms will ignite
unquenchable fires all over the world and
the accompanying windstorms will destroy
billions of acres of trees, food crops
and vegetation within a few days. Of
course millions of people will be left
homeless and many others will suffer and

series of tidal waves that will inundate
coastal cities around the perimeter of
the ocean. Seaports and coastal cities,
well known for their immoral behavior,
will completely disappear with
overwhelming loss of life. Survivors will
be frightened and distressed by the angry
tossing of the sea. (Luke 21:25) Ships

results. The impact will contaminate
water supplies and cause extensive death.
Ground waves from the impact will
fracture geologic strata for thousands of
square miles. Sewage, deadly bacteria,
toxic chemicals and other garage buried
in the Earth will seep into underground
aquifers. Underground rivers will become
contaminated and they will carry their
deadly mixture for thousands of miles.
Revelation predicts that many people will
die of drinking poisonous water. |

One Third of the
Sky Darkened
Trumpet #4. Shortly
after the second asteroid impact, the
world will hear a terrible roar. Hundreds
of powerful violent volcanic eruptions
will occur. These will be numerous and
powerful and cause great damage. Millions
of people will perish. Revelation
predicts there will be great darkness.
(Revelation 8:12) The jet stream will
carry megatons of volcanic ejecta and
soot around the world in dense clouds
that cause complete darkness. Scientists
have observed this phenomenon in recent
times. The extended absence of sunlight
over the middle third of Earth (the
breadbasket of the world) will prevent
surviving crops from reaching maturity.
Worldwide famines will begin. In short,
the first four judgments will create a
horrible domino effect radiating into
every aspect of life. Illness of all
kinds will appear. Clean water and food
will become scarce over-night and the
misery index will be “off the
scale.” According to Revelation, 25%
of Earth’s population will perish
from these four judgments. (Revelation
6:8) Think about this. The population of
Earth currently is approaching 7 billion
people. Twenty-five percent of seven
billion is one billion seven hundred
fifty million people! |

Global Crisis
Caused by the First Four Trumpets
The first four trumpets
of destruction are targeted at wicked
cities all over the world. This occurs
because Jesus has ended pleading His
blood for the world corporately.
The people killed were given
many opportunities to repent, but like
the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah
they refused to repent because they loved
sin. Jesus also put some of His
children to sleep because they are too
weak to go through the Great Tribulation.
Jesus continues His intercession before
the Father for individuals at altar
of burnt offering; this is
the second level of atonement. There is
no further atonement for the world
corporately at the golden altar. |

The Ministry of
the Holy Spirit
John 16:8 When he [Holy
Spirit] comes, he will
convict the world of guilt in regard to
sin and righteousness and judgment: in
regard to sin, because men do not believe
in me; in regard to righteousness,
because I am going to the Father, where
you can see me no longer; and in regard
to judgment, because the prince of this
world now stands condemned. “I have
much more to say to you, more than you
can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of
Truth, comes, he will guide you into all
truth. He will not speak on his own; he
will speak only what he hears, and he
will tell you what is yet to come. He
will bring glory to me by taking what is
mine and making it known to you. All that
belongs to the Father is mine. That is
why I said the Spirit will take from what
is mine and make it known to you. The
Holy Spirit brings strong conviction to
people in every tongue, nation, and
country in the world to repent of their
sins from the very beginning
of the Great Tribulation.
The two witnesses have always been the
Law of God and the ministry of the Holy
Spirit. The
awesome supernatural convicting power of
the Holy Spirit begins at the opening of the
fourth seal and continues
until the end of the 1,260th
day of the Great Tribulation. The Holy
Spirit brings conviction to the hearts of
every unrepentant sinner to the point of ‘mental
torment’ and then on
the 1,260th
day of the Great Tribulation the
conviction ends. Everyone who refused to
repent has blasphemed the Holy Spirit
– and committed the unpardonable
sin. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is
unpardonable because there is nothing
left that God can do to save the wicked
without violating their free will {Mark
3:29}. God gives the final generation
more light and conviction to the truth
than any other generation, but the wicked
love sin and hate the truth. |

The Ministry of
the 144,000 Servants of God
Revelation 14:6-7 Then I
saw another angel flying in midair, and
he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to
those who live on the earth – to
every nation, tribe, language and people.
He said in a loud voice, “Fear God
and give him glory, because the hour of
his judgment has come. Worship him who
made the heavens, the earth, the sea and
the springs of water.” The
first angel’s message begins during
the first 890 days
of the Great Tribulation. The messages of
the 144,000 are portrayed by angels
because God wants the world to know the
messages are not from
men – they are from God. The 144,000
servant – prophets of God were
hand-picked by Jesus out of every nation
of the world to globally preach the
gospel before the Great Tribulation
began. The servant prophets proclaim the
gospel with the convicting power of the
Holy Spirit. Even though God uses His
servants to proclaim the gospel, no one
has ever heard the convicting voice of
the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows
what is in each person’s heart and
therefore He knows just what to say and
do, which is far beyond human ability.
The Holy Spirit is not grieved
{blasphemed} because He is insulted
– He is grieved because there is
nothing more that God can do for the
person without violating his/her freedom
of choice. |

The First Angel's
Message in Reality
World’s
Infrastructures Destroyed
– According to the time periods
given in the books of Daniel and
Revelation, the first four catastrophic
events could occur during a very short
period, perhaps 30 to 60 days. The
magnitude, extent and rapidity of these
horrible events will catch everyone by
surprise and they will cause every
survivor to ask three questions. First, ‘What
does God want?” In ages
past God has sent warning judgments mixed
with mercy in an attempt to awaken people
to their true condition. (Ezekiel 6;
Zephaniah 2) In this sense, the seven
trumpets will be no different. By gaining
the attention of the world through His
wrath, God will put His servants, the
144,000, in an authoritative position to
present the terms and conditions of
salvation. The overwhelming evidence of
God’s wrath will be obvious to
religious, as well as non-religious
minds. Through a sequence of carefully
designed events, God will ultimately
separate the survivors of Earth into two
categories – those who are willing
to submit to His authority and those who
defiantly stand in rebellion. The second
question that will come to the forefront
of people’s minds will be, “Why
is God so angry?” Great
terror will fill the hearts of those who
survive the first judgments of God. Every
infrastructure will be broken and
demolished. Because the Holy Spirit will
empower the 144,000 to proclaim
God’s Word powerfully, the world
will clearly hear why God is angry.
Everyone everywhere must hear why
God’s anger has boiled over. In this
painful setting, a third question will
rise: “What is coming
next?” The first four
events will cause many to think that God
has decided to destroy Earth ‘a
piece at a time.” The rich and the
poor, the arrogant and the humble, the
educated and the uneducated, the powerful
and the powerless will be dumbfounded.
Depression, anxiety and grief will render
many survivors dysfunctional. Few people
are mentally or spiritually prepared to
cope with the coming tribulation, and
physical preparation to save ourselves
from God’s wrath is useless. Jesus
said, “As it was in the
days of Noah, so it will be at the coming
of the Son of Man. For in the days before
the flood, people were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, up to the day Noah entered the
ark; and they knew nothing about what
would happen until the flood came and
took them all away. That is how it will
be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
(Matthew 24:37-39) If
the Bible teaches anything about
God’s wrath, it reveals that God
always takes action when a majority of
people violate His laws and do evil. The
bible speaks of the flood in Noah’s
day, the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah, the destruction of Jericho, the
destruction of Jerusalem, and at the end
of the age, the destruction of Earth.
Revelation predicts that Earth will
receive a series of 14 deadly blows. By
the time the Great Tribulation has ended,
God will have destroyed every defiant
person on Earth. These three questions
and man’s attempt to answer them
– willproduce the human response
that Revelation predicts. |

The Analogous
Scene of the Leopard-Like Beast, Babylon
Revelation 13:1-2 And the
dragon [devil] stood
[authority] on
the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast [kingdom]
coming out of the sea [people].
He had ten horns [kings] and
seven heads [leaders], with
ten crowns on his horns, and on each head
a blasphemous name [apostate
religions]. The beast [government]
I saw resembled a leopard
[fast like Greece], but had
the feet like those of a bear [cruel
like Medo-Persia] and a mouth
like that of a lion [dictator
like Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon]. The
dragon gave the beast his power and his
throne and great authority. Very
rapidly within the first
fifty days after the
destruction of the first four trumpets
all the nations of the world will respond
to the global destruction of the first
four trumpets by forming a global crisis
government that is described by John as
the leopard-like beast of Revelation
13:1-2. Time: By
subtracting the length of the persecution
of 1,240 days of Revelation 13:5 from
when the persecution ends on the 1,290th
day of the beginning point of persecution
is easily calculated, which is fifty days
after Jesus terminates His intercession
at the golden altar and sound the first
four trumpets {There are 29.53 days to a
month}. Persecution Begins: The
nations of the world need time to form
the crisis government {the leopard-like
beast of Revelation 13:1-2} after the
destruction of the first four trumpets.
The leopard-like beast persecutes the
saints for forty-two months or 1,240
days that ends 1,290 days after Jesus
terminates corporate intercession
{Daniel 12:11, Revelation 8:3-4}. |
[view] |
| 84 |
The Seven
Religions of the World
The leopard-like beast is a
global crisis government of church/state;
thus democracy is gone; marshal law is
worldwide. The seven heads are religious
systems and the ten horns are kings or
political authorities {Revelation 17:12}.
The leopard-like beast is a
religious/political dictator like ancient
Papal Rome. Papal Rome is the head that
was wounded by Napoleon in 1798, but at
this time the deadly wound is healed and
the papacy again has civil authority to
enforce its religious laws. As in any
animal the head controls the body. This
government behaves like an animal that is
fighting for survival. It has seven heads
that control the body; thus it is full of
confusion. This is why John calls
it Babylon. And just like any animal the
horns are pointed and controlled by the
head. This government has seven religious
heads that control the body, but they are
all in apostasy. We know the religious
laws passed by this government are
enforced by the use of civil power,
because those who refuse to obey its
religious laws will pay with the penalty
of prison and death {Revelation 13:7
& 10}. This government gives the
little horn of Daniel 7:11 civil power to
enforce religious laws like it did during
the Dark Ages; thus the deadly wound of
1798 is healed – the papacy is back. |

Global Crisis of
the First Four Trumpets
The first four trumpet judgments
will produce death and destruction on a
biblical scale that exceeds human
calculation. These four judgments will
ruin Earth to the extent that recovery
will be impossible. I have indicated that
the first four trumpets will occur during
a period of about sixty days. Even
though the Bible does not explicitly
declare the timing of the first four
trumpets, there is some indication they
will happen in a rapid-fire sequence
after the censer is cast down. Please
consider the following: The Bible
predicts that mankind will quickly
respond to the first four trumpets by
setting up a crisis government called
“Babylon.” Of course, world
leaders will not call their new creation
“Babylon.” The Bible calls this
coming government “Babylon”
because its behavior will parallel the
ancient kingdom of Babylon, both in
arrogance and ignorance. The Bible
also indicates Babylon will persecute
God’s saints for forty-two months.
(Revelation 13:5) Because the Great
Tribulation will last approximately
forty-five months (1,335 days, Daniel
12:11,12), Babylon has to form within
ninety days after the Great Tribulation
begins in order to persecute the saints
for forty-two months (forty-five months
minus forty-two months leaves ninety
days). Since Babylon has to begin
persecuting the saints within ninety days
after the censer is cast down, this
suggests that the first four trumpets
will come in a rapid-fire sequence.
Here is why: A rapid-fire sequence
of judgments on notably wicked places
will silence the argument that these
horrible events were random acts of
nature. If the first four trumpets were
months apart, these judgments could be
interpreted as random acts of nature and
the argument favoring a random string of
“natural disasters” would be
difficult to silence. Moreover, if the
first four trumpets were months apart,
nothing else could move diverse religions
and nations to unite and form Babylon so
that the persecution of God’s people
all over the world can begin within
ninety days. If the first four trumpets
were months apart, it would be impossible
to get people to thoughtfully consider
the gospel presented by the 144,000. (The
144,000 will begin their work on the day
the censer is cast down.) Until religious
paradigms are shattered and a theological
vacuum is created, people will not listen
to a gospel that is contrary to their
current beliefs. If the first four
trumpets do fall within a short period on
notably wicked places, this would force
reasoning people to admit that (a) God is
on the warpath against wickedness, and
(b) something must be done quickly to
appease God or He may destroy
everyone. If the first four
trumpets occurred in a rapid-fire
sequence, the resulting shock and awe
would totally overwhelm the whole world.
Panic and trembling would be so great
that a war involving nuclear exchanges
would end. Panic and fear of “the
Living God” would bring leaders
(religious and political) into a humble
union. United by terror and motivated by
fear, they would move quickly to appease
God. Man’s fear of more wrath
explains sudden formation of Babylon. Everyone
will conclude that God is angry. Of
course, extreme circumstances require
desperate solutions, and the bible
predicts that man’s solution to
appeasing God’s wrath will be
extreme (otherwise unthinkable). |

| 86 |
The Church Given
Civil Power to Rule
Babylon is represented in
Revelation 13:1-8 as a leopard-like
monster that will rise out of the sea.
Babylon’s represents man’s
response to God’s wrath. Babylon
will be a religious government with a
simple objective: Babylon will appease
God so that His wrath will cease. The
“sea” from which Babylon will
rise represents ‘peoples,
multitudes, nations and languages.” (Revelation
17:15) In other words, Babylon will arise
from within the nations of the world.
After the first four trumpets turn the
world upside down, the political leaders
of the world will humbly submit to the
authority of Babylon. The Bible predicts
this amazing turnover with these words: “…
And he [Babylon, the
leopard-like beast] was given
[the gift of] authority
over every tribe, people, language and
nation.” (Revelation
13:7, insertion and italics mine) Babylon
will be a “monster-sized”
church-state government. Babylon’s
leaders will dictate how the civil
governments of the world are going to
proceed in their efforts to appease God
so that His wrath will cease. Today, it
goes beyond comprehension to say that a
time is coming when the world’s
political leaders will submit to the
dictates of a one-world religious
government, but the destruction caused by
the first four trumpets is unimaginable,
too. When the world witnesses God’s
devastating wrath on notably wicked
places and smells the stench of 1.75
billion dead people, almost everyone will
have a dramatic change in their thinking
about God. His authority and our
accountability to Him will become topics
of greatest concern. During the gloomy
darkness of the fourth trumpet, the
religious leaders of the world will
convene and conceive a well-intended, but
foolish plan to appease God. They will
unanimously agree that one God is angry
with all mankind and that degenerate
behavior has provoked God’s wrath
against all nations. Therefore, religious
leaders will conclude that all nations
and all religions must unite as one
family to appease Him. “if we do
this, they will say, “our chances of
offending God further will be reduced.
Perhaps He will have mercy on the whole
world when He sees that all mankind is
anxious to please Him and our sincerity
is global.” |

The Deadly Wound
is Healed
The head that was wounded
and “had been healed” when
Babylon rises to power represents the
Roman Catholic Church. The authority of
the Catholic Church over the kings and
nations of Europe began with Emperor
Justinian’s decree in March, A.D.
533 (but the decree remained ineffective
until A.D. 538). The Church’s
authority over the kings of Europe lasted
1,260 years. (Daniel 7:25, Revelation
12:6, 14) When this prophetic period
ended, the French Revolution (1789-1799)
fatally wounded the authority of the
Church when Pope Pius VI was dethroned
and put in prison (February 1798). One
hundred thirty-one years later, on June
7, 1929, Italian dictator, Benito
Mussolini, on behalf of King Victor
Emmanuel III, grated the Catholic Church
the right to exist as a sovereign state.
This grant to the Catholic Church is
known as the Lateran Accords or Treaty.
This event granted the pope sovereign
rulership over the State of the Vatican
and more importantly, the pope was set
free to direct and lead the Catholic
Church without accountability to any
nation. For the past eighty years,
the religious and political influence of
the Catholic Church has been steadily
growing throughout the world. In recent
years (largely due to the extraordinary
popularity of Pope Paul II, 1920-2005),
the Roman Catholic Church has had a
significant political force in the world.
Pope Benedict’s reception and
extravagant birthday party at the White
House (hosted by President George Bush on
April 16, 2008) is a recent event
demonstrating the Church has regained a
position of international respect and
power. Many nations (170 at this writing)
have ambassadors assigned to the Vatican.
However, the deadly wound will not be
healed until the Roman Catholic Church
once again exercises authority over
sovereign governments. |

Global Government
of Church & State
When world leaders convene
during the fourth trumpet to create
Babylon, I believe three amazing
decisions will come out of this emergency
meeting of Church &
State. First,
after recognizing the religious diversity
of mankind and given the
obvious fact that one
God has destroyed a third of the world,
this emergency council will agree that
all nations must unite as a family to
appease God so that His wrath will cease.
The council will agree that a number of
“sin-less” laws must be enacted
and enforced or God’s anger will
continue to burn against mankind. This
council will also agree that God must be
respected and worshiped. This council
will conclude that anyone defying laws
that honor God should be punished because
it is better for one person to suffer for
wrong doing than for a whole world to
suffer additional destruction due to
God’s wrath. They will conclude that
enforcing high standards of conduct is
the only way that God’s wrath
against the world’s decadence will
stop. Second,
because everyone at the council will know
that God’s anger was directed at
notably wicked places all over the world,
political leaders will acquiesce to the
suggestions of religious experts.
Political leaders will have no
choice but to accept the responsibility
of enacting and enforcing laws to reduce
sinful behavior. All nations will
participate in this endeavor because
world leaders believe that God’s
wrath could possibly break out against
the whole world if any part of the world
family fails to participate. Political
leaders will be in the position of having
no choice but to go along with Babylon’s
directions will quickly
resolve the awful crisis
that exists between God and man. Third,
leaders of the world understand that
every governing body requires qualified
leadership. A Supreme council, something
like the Security Council of the United
Nations will be created. I believe the
pope will be selected as the leader of
Babylon for four reasons. First, the
healing of the deadly wound has been
ongoing since 1929. Second, the Catholic
Church is uniquely prepared to serve the
world through its diplomatic relations
with 170 nations. Third, the Roman
Catholic Church believes a church-state
is the best form of government. Finally,
the Bible predicts the deadly wound will
be healed (Revelation 13:3) and the
little horn of Daniel 7 (the papacy) will
speak boastfully after 1844 (Daniel
7:11). These four reasons lead me to
conclude that the pope will be chosen to
lead Babylon. |

| 89 |
The Church with
Civil Authority
During the first four
trumpets, each nation will be forced to
suspend their constitution so that
martial law can be enacted. Given the
size and scope of God’s wrath, world
leaders will do whatever it takes to
maintain control. Food and water supplies
will be rationed. Medical care and energy
reserves will be scarce. Hunger and
thirst will drive millions of dazed and
bewildered people crazy. Extreme
situations require desperate
solutions. Earth’s population
has never seen a global crisis like the
first four trumpets. The crisis will be
so huge that political leaders in every
nation will be set free of their
constitutional obligations almost
immediately. This freedom will permit
them to enact and enforce laws they would
have been strongly opposed to during
normal times. The declaration of martial
law will make it very easy for lawmakers
to comply with the demands of
Babylon’s clergy. Given the fact
that something must be done to appease
God, very few citizens will complain
– at first. After Babylon begins to
function as a religious authority over
the nations of the world, Babylon’s
laws will become increasingly oppressive
and restrictive. Remember, laws
will be enacted demanding that everyone
set aside one day for worshiping God.
Later on, these laws will be amended and
mandatory worship on specific days will
be required. Man’s efforts to
appease God’s wrath explains how
worship will become a focal point of
persecution. The bible predicts, “All
inhabitants of the earth will worship [obey]
the beast – all whose
names have not been written in the book
of life belonging to the lamb that was
slain from the creation of the
world.” (Revelation
13:8, insertion and italics mine) The Ten
Commandments, especially the fourth
commandment will be constantly debated.
The topic of worship will become very
important. The 144,000 will present the
holiness of God’s seventh day
Sabbath with clarity and compelling
power. There is only one reason for
rebelling against the fourth commandment.
It is man’s natural hostility toward
God’s authority. When the carnal
nature is confronted with the demands of
God’s law, hostility is the result.
Paul wrote, “The sinful
mind is hostile to God. It does not
submit to God’s law nor can it do
so. Those controlled by the sinful nature
cannot please God.” (Romans
8:7,8) |

The fifth angel
sounded his trumpet
Satan is kept in the
prison of the Abyss for two-thirds of the
time to maximize saving souls. After the
ministry of the 144,000 comes to a
stall, then Jesus releases
the devil at the end of the 890th
day to unmask him.
Satan appears, masquerading as Jesus
Christ, at the latter time of
God’s wrath at the
fifth trumpet after two-thirds of the
first six trumpets have sounded. Satan,
masquerading as God on earth reveals his
hideous character by his lies and
murderous designs during the fifth and
sixth trumpets. Jesus releases Satan at
the fifth trumpet to unmask him
to save those who that are
deceived, but love the truth. Satan is
released at the fifth trumpet to make the
greatest possible contrast
between the truth of Jesus and the lies
of the devil. This enables those that
love the truth
to make an intelligent decision.
The wicked that hate the truth worship
Satan and the saints worship God. This
segment uses 890 days to represent the early
time of God’s wrath
because it is two-thirds of the 1,335
days and four trumpets out of six
trumpets is two-thirds. God gives most of
the time to His servants the 144,000 to
save souls. The 890 days gives structure
to the story. I cannot
say with all certainty that there are
exactly 890 days to the appearance of the
devil proclaiming himself as God on
Earth. But this author can say with all
certainty that there are exactly 1,335
days to the length of the Great
Tribulation and Satan is not
allowed to appear until the
fifth trumpet at the latter
time of God’s wrath.
And the latter time of God’s wrath
is near the end
of the Great tribulation or after
two-thirds of the time, which is 890
days. |

Satan, the Little
Daniel 9:9 And out of one
of them [north wind] came
forth a little horn, which waxed
exceedingly great, toward the south, and
toward the east, and toward the pleasant
land [global]. The coming
Antichrist will not be human when the
books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, 2 Thessalonians
2 Corinthians, Daniel and Revelation
harmonize because they are the Word of
God. They present a rather startling
picture of the coming Antichrist by
adding valuable pieces to the puzzle. The
following comments are a brief synthesis
of what these books say about the
Antichrist: The coming Antichrist will
not be a mere mortal. The coming
Antichrist will not be born of a woman.
The coming Antichrist cannot be killed by
men. The coming Antichrist will have
supernatural powers that far exceed
anything men can do. The coming
Antichrist will be evil and destructive
beyond comprehension. The coming
Antichrist will be dazzling and
commanding in appearance, but deadly in
manipulation. The coming Antichrist will
be a stern-faced king, that is, he will
not show mercy unless temporal mercy
facilitates his evil schemes. Billions of
powerful demons serve him. The coming
Antichrist is the ancient foe of Christ.
In fact, Lucifer is the most powerful and
the greatest angel God even created. He
was the first to become Anti-Christ. The
Bible predicts that God will allow
Lucifer and his angels to appear in
physical form visible to the human race.
Just as Jesus became a man to save the
world, Lucifer will be granted authority
to masquerade as God so that he can
quickly lead the wicked to their
destruction. Lucifer will mimic
Christ’s return and appear with
clouds of angels. You can be sure the
appearing of the devil will be the most
spectacular event ever viewed by human
eyes (Revelation 17:8) – only to be
eclipsed by the brighter and more
glorious appearing of Jesus. (Revelation
1:7, 19:11-21) Horn

I am God Almighty,
the Great Prince - there shall only be
one religion!
During the five months of
the fifth trumpet, the devil will
steadily gain a following of believers
through deception. World leaders will be
delighted that “Almighty God”
is on their side, but a problem will soon
arise. How is religious diversity
possible when “God” dwells
among men? How can Jews, Muslims,
Christians, and Hindus defend opposing
views when “God” Himself lives
among men? How can nations remain
sovereign when “God” Himself
lives among men? How can nations remain
sovereign when “God” is
sovereign over all nations? At the end of
the fifth trumpet, the devil will
abruptly change his tactics and demeanor.
He will become a “stern-faced”
dictator. He will make horrible demands
and mankind will be powerless to resist
or stop him. There will be no law except
the law of this demon. Whatever the devil
wants and whatever the devil commands
will be law. (Hence the descriptive term
used by Paul, “the man of
lawlessness.”) The devil will demand
an end to religious diversity and his
command will be carried out. He will
demand a theocracy be established and his
command will be honored. (A theocracy is
a church-state government where God rules
as King of kings and Lord of lords.) For
reasons beyond the scope of this study, I
believe Lucifer will change the day of
worship. Because he will be “king of
kings and Lord of lords,” who can
resist anything he wants or says?
Resistance to Lucifer’s demands will
be silenced by Lucifer’s demons. “…
And the agony they suffered was like that
of a sting of a scorpion when it strikes
a man. During those days men will seek
death, but will not find it; they will
long to die, but death will elude
them.” (Revelation 9:5,
6) |

It [Satan the
little horn] set itself up to be as great
as the Prince of the host....'
The horn power from the
north starts small, but it grows until it
reaches the starry host of the heavens,
then it throws them down and tramples
them. This language indicates the
stern-faced king will grow in recognition
and authority among the inhabitants of
Earth until he is exalted above all gods!
The book of Revelation reveals more about
this process than Daniel. Revelation
indicates the devil will begin his
physical work on Earth with local
appearances. The devil, along with his
enormous host of angels, will come down
out of the sky in blinding clouds of
light at specific locations on Earth. He
will imitate Christ’s Second Coming
with two obvious differences. First, God
will not permit the devil to be visible
to the whole world at one time. So, the
people of Earth will not be introduced to
the Antichrist at one event. He will grow
in popularity as he appears in the skies
over the populated cities of Earth. Great
cities of the world such as Mexico City,
Jerusalem, Washington D.C., Moscow,
Sydney, Beijing, Calcutta, Houston and
others, will see magnificent displays of
power and glory. Lucifer will appear in
various places and he will exercise
miracle-working powers to convince people
that he is God. (Revelation 13:14,15)
Even though his display of power will be
amazing, the saints will not be deceived.
They know who is behind the mask.

'...it [Satan the
little horn] took away the daily
sacrifice [intercession of Jesus] from
him, and the place of his [Christ's]
sanctuary was brought low
Daniel 8:11 It
[Satan] set itself up to be
as great as the Prince of the host [Jesus];
it took away the daily
sacrifice from him [Jesus], and
the place of his sanctuary was brought
low. These verses describes
Satan appearing out of nowhere {the
wind}, which gives him credibility as a
supernatural being. Satan, the little
horn, is on Earth for five months {150
days} masquerading as Jesus; this is the
time period of the fifth trumpet
{Revelation 9:1-11}. Satan so overwhelms
the inhabitants of the Earth with his
supernatural appearance as an angel of
light that the majority of the people
completely forget about prayer and
repentance. People are saying, ‘Who
needs the Bible or prayer, God is here
– we could never understand the
Bible anyway?’ Satan, masquerading
as God on Earth draws the attention of
the people away from the heavenly
sanctuary, Jesus, the Bible, the truth,
and brings the intercessory work of Jesus
very low before or by the 1,040th
day. So, Jesus sends the wicked their god
at a latter time of wrath creating a
vortex that forces everyone to make a
choice…either worship the devil or
God. Satan counterfeits the Second Coming
of Jesus by his supernatural appearances
and deceives the entire world. Satan and
the wicked hate the truth just like the
Pharisees that killed Jesus. God allows
the wicked to kill millions of saints
that love the truth to unmask
Satan. The truth being cast
to the ground in Daniel 8:12 is looked
upon as a very bad thing by many, but
this is not so. Jesus
sends Satan knowing he will lie and
murder the saints casting the truth to
the ground. Jesus sends the saints
to their death as they write their
testimony to the truth in their own blood
gleaning the last few souls. Jesus uses
the death of the martyrs to
create a great contrast
between the lies
of the devil and the truth
– there are no gray
shades. Everyone either chooses to
worship the devil or God by their own
free choice. The cleansing of the
sanctuary is finished – that brings
the judgment of the world to an end. |

Satan the King of
the North
Daniel 11:36 The king [Satan]
will do as he pleases. He
will exalt and magnify himself above
every god and will say unheard-of things
against the God of gods [2
Thessalonians 2:4]. He will
be successful until the time of wrath
[trumpets] is completed, for
what has been determined must take place.
This scene also begins on
the 890th
day with Satan, the king of the north, destroying
the world financially at the
time of the fifth trumpet. He exalts
himself as God on Earth confiscating all
the land in the world and selling it to
the highest bidder and giving high
positions to those who acknowledge him.
In Daniel 8:10 Satan demands that the
leaders discard their ancient religions {trampling
on the starry host}; then
Satan consolidates all the religions of
the world into One World Religion called the
god of fortresses. |
[view] |
| 96 |
A Part of the
World Represents the Whole World
Instead of them, he will
honor a god of fortresses [a
one world religion] – during
the 220 days between the 890th
day to the 1,040th
day Satan is setting up his kingdom.
There are four scenes going on
simultaneously. 1. Satan is exalting
himself as the Prince of the host in
Daniel 8: 9-11 and drawing people to
himself and away from God and repentance.
2. His demons in Revelation 9:5 & 10
are torturing the non-religious wicked
people into submission to worship him. 3.
Satan, the lamb-like beast of Revelation
13:11, is masquerading as the Savior of
the world setting up a ONE WORLD RELIGION
– the image of the beast. 4. Satan,
the king of the north, is creating a
god of fortresses, or the
consolidation of all the religions of the
world into a one world religion, the
whore that sits on the beast: Revelation
17:3,4 Then the angel carried me away in
the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a
woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was
covered with blasphemous names and had
seven heads and ten horns. The woman was
dressed in purple and scarlet and was
glittering with gold, precious stones and
pearls. She held a golden cup in her
hand, filled with abominable things and
the filth of her adulteries. |

...and [Satan]
will greatly honor those who acknowledge
him. He will make them rulers over many
people and will distribute the land at a
price
Satan, the king
of the north, physically
appears as God on Earth on the 890th
day of the Great Tribulation. The king of
the north ‘here’ means Satan is
a global destroyer. He exalts himself
above every god and every religion in the
world just as he did in Daniel 8:9-12. He
has no respect for any of the ancient
religions of Judaism, Islam, Catholicism,
Protestantism, etc. – he exalts
himself above them all. Satan, as God on
Earth, confiscates all the wealth of the
world. Satan creates ‘the god of
fortress’ by consolidating all the
religions of the world in one called
‘the god of fortress,’ which is
another name for ‘image of the
beast’ in Revelation 13:15. Those
that acknowledge him, he honors with gold
and silver – making them wealthy
beyond their wildest dreams. The
south, the non-religious
wicked, organize themselves all over the
world to attack Satan the king of the
north. This war is a global civil war
over land and money because Satan looted
the world. The south ‘here’
means the non-religious atheistic world
on a global scale. On the 1,040th
day a global civil world war will begin
by the south attacking the north to take
back their land and money |

five months of Satan's reign,
masquerading as God on earth, he will
honor those who acknowledge him making

'... the key to
the bottomless pit.'
Revelation 9:1 The fifth
angel sounded his trumpet
[on the 890th
day], and I saw a star [Lucifer
the devil] that had fallen
from the sky [into] the
earth [the Abyss in 30
A.D.]. The star was given the
key [Jesus released the
demons] to the shaft of the
Abyss. 2. When he opened the Abyss
[prison for demons], smoke
rose from it like the smoke from a
gigantic furnace. The sun and sky [counterfeit
second advent of Jesus] were
darkened by the smoke [millions
of fallen angels] from the
Abyss. 3. And out of the smoke [analogy
for destruction], came down
upon earth and were given power like that
of scorpions [to paralyze
with pain] of the earth. 4.
They were told not to harm the grass of
the earth or any plant or tree
[2/3 remaining vegetation is safe], but
only those people who did not
have the seal of God on their foreheads
[unsaved non-religious wicked]. 5.
They were not given
power to kill them, but only to torture
them [like the two thieves
on the cross] for five months
[length of 5th
trumpet]. And the
agony they suffered was like that of a
sting of a scorpion when it strikes a
man. 6. During
those days men will seek death [terror
& pain is terrible], but
will not find it; they will long to die,
but death will elude them
[Jesus saves]. |
