Statement

The studies below were more for myself at the time; they were taken from a couple different prophecy ministries that came to Idaho.

Jac Colon with Revelation Now in which I gave my heart to the Lord and was baptized.

The other meetings were from Russell Burrill.

Some material also came off the Internet.

Most of this is a few years old now.

Sorry, I never kept where I got any information off the Internet, so I’m not sure whom to credit for that.

I was putting this together in some sort of timeline with all the verses so I could better understand it.

I’m putting it here so anyone can read.

I may still be adding more to this as I study.

Yes I believe most of what is written but I am still learning.

Bible Only

Prayer

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John 1:2 "The same was in the beginning with God."

Where did God's word come from?

He was there all the time.

2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

2 Timothy 3:17 "That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

The Bible is from God.

Choose your doctrine from the scripture.

Instruction and correction of what we believe is in the Bible.

Instruction manual in how to find righteousness.

2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

2 Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

1 Corinthians 2:13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."

The scriptures are not from man but God.

2 John 1:9 "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son."

2 John 1:10 "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:"

The doctrine you should abide in should be the doctrine of Christ.

Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."

Proverbs 30:6 "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."

God's word is pure.

Add nothing to the Bible or be found a liar.

Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."

What God revealed is for us forever.

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."

Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Do the commandments of God and not what others teach.

Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The word of God is powerful.

Galatians 1:6 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel"

Galatians 1:7 "Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."

Galatians 1:8 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."

Galatians 1:9 "As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."

Galatians 1:10 "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."

Galatians 1:11 "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man."

Galatians 1:12 "For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."

The truth is in the Word of God.

Acts 17:11 "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

Search the scriptures daily with a clear mind.

1 Corinthians 11:2 "Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you."

Paul is saying.

Remember the teachings and keep the laws that he is saying.

2 Timothy 1:13 "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."

Learn the words of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."

Hold to the traditions told in the Bible.

1 Corinthians 14:37 "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."

What was written is commandments of God.

Luke 24:44 "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me."

All must be fulfilled.

Jesus spoke of the Old Testament here.

If the Old Testament is good enough for Jesus then it should be good enough for us.

Isaiah 28:16 "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."

The Lord is the rock and foundation. Make haste if you believe not.

Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."

Keep Gods word for the time of the end is near.

2 Peter 3:15 "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;"

2 Peter 3:16 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."

2 Peter 3:17 "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness."

2 Peter 3:18 "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen."

Other prophets speak of Paul’s writings.

War In Heaven

Ezekiel 28:14 "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."

Ezekiel 28:15 "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

Ezekiel 28:17 "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee."

Satan was a beautiful perfect created angel and honored by other angels and created beings.

Ezekiel 28:16 "By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."
Sin started in heaven.

Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the

dragon fought and his angels,"

Revelation 12:8 "And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil, And Satan which

deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Because of his sin he was cast out into the earth.

Luke 10:18 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."

To show how Satan fell.

Isaiah 14:12 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

How did Lucifer fall?

Isaiah 14:13 "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne

above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north"

Isaiah 14:14 "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."

Satan found that heaven had to many rules and wanted not to worship God.

He also wanted the angles to do what he said and worship him.

Satan was jealous of God.

He wanted freedom and to do away with God's laws.

Revelation 12:4 "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."

Because of his rebellion he took a third of the angles with him.

If God just destroyed Satan there then all the angles would just love God out of fear.

God had to let the devil show what comes with sin.

Did the devil challenge God to show his ways.

I believe the devil-wanted control over some of God's creation.

God let this be, to show not only us, but also the angles in heaven

I also believe that this will show other worlds what sin leads to.

God has to show what sin is to many of his creations so that we will love him, not out of fear but so that we may know that love for God is the only way.

Hebrews 1:2 "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"

Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Are there other worlds?

Genesis 1:26 :And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

In the first five days God continued to create.

But in this verse on the sixth day it almost looks like he hesitated.

Notice he said Let us make man in our image.

I believe us is The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Looks like he may have hesitated to make sure they were ready to go through with this.

Luke 4:5 "And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."

Luke 4:6 "And the devil said unto him, all this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."

Because of mans fall the devil was given much power on this world.

Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

Genesis 3:2 "And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:"

Genesis 3:3 "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

God said that if we eat of the tree we would die.

Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The seed of the serpent must be those who follow the Devil.

So the seed of the women then must be those who worship God.

The Serpent will bruise the woman's heel causing much pain.

But the Woman will be victorious bruising the head of the serpent.

God sent Jesus to die for our sins and bruised the Devil's head so that we might not die but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

2 Timothy 1:10 "But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:"

1 John 3:8 "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

God gave is Son, in order to conquer death so that we might not die but live again and have everlasting life.

We have a choice to either remain a sinner and die or accept Gods gift of salvation so that we might live for ever with him.

Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

Revelation 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

The devil only has a short time and will cause as much trouble as he can.

Woe to us for the devil is come to destroy us.

But Jesus over came death and all we have to do is accept his salvation.

Creation

Genesis 1

All about creation.

Genesis 1:31 "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And

the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

What God created was Good.

This also shows that the day starts with the evening and that this day cannot be anymore then one day.

Genesis 2:2 "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on

the seventh day from all his work which he had made."

Genesis 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had

rested from all his work which God created and made."

God blesses and made holy the seventh Day. The day also shows God created the world.

Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his

nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

Are bodies are from the dust of the ground.

But with the breath of life we became a Soul.

Genesis 3:3 "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye

shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Genesis 3:4 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die"

Genesis 3:5 "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant

to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,

and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

We died unto sin.

Genesis 3:21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and

clothed them."

The first time something had to die to cover the sins of man.

Genesis 3:14 "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art

cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou

go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life"

Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and

her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The seed of the serpent must be those who follow the Devil.

The seed of the women then must be those who worship God.

The Serpent will bruise the woman's heel causing much pain.

But the Woman will be victorious bruising the head of the serpent.

Life, Death, and Where do we go when we die.

Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

God first made man from the dust.

He than breathed the breath of life into man.

We became a soul.

He did not say he gave us a soul or put in us a soul.

Genesis 12:5 "And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came."

Abram took the people not a bunch of ghosts.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."

The word here for spirit in Hebrews is used as many words - Spirit, Life, Air, Wind.

So is this opposite from life?

When we die our spirit (air, life) goes back to God.

John 5:28 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,"

Where are the dead?

Jesus says were in the grave.

Psalms 146:4 "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."

God takes back our breath of life.

Our thoughts perish.

Are we thinking after we die?

Psalms 115:17 "The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence."

Can a Christian praise God when we die?

Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither

have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."

Do the dead know anything?

Ecclesiastes 9:6 "Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have

they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun."

Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

Again it says were going to the grave.

John 11:11 "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."

John 11:12 "Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well."

John 11:13 "Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep."

John 11:14 "Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead."

What are we doing while we are in the grave.

Jesus thought of it as he were asleep.

II Samuel 7:12 "And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom."

Again the Lord here uses sleep.

Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

This verse looks like the thief on the cross will see Jesus in heaven as soon as he dies.

The Greek language did not have commas though.

What did Jesus say?

Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

or did he say

Verily I say unto thee to day, shalt thou be with me in paradise.

This is the only time we see a phrase with "To day" so it could very well be that it does say "today you will be with me in paradise".

Even if it does mean that, when the Thief wakes up it will seem to him the same day.

John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."

Jesus had not yet gone to his Father.

Was he in heaven yet?

How could Jesus see the thief that day if he had not even been to heaven yet?

Luke 16:22 "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;"

Luke 16:23 "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."

Luke 16:24 "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."

This looks like there is life right after death.

But is this a Parable?

Luke 15:3 "And he spake this parable unto them, saying,"

Is there a series of parables from chapter 15 up until the rich man and Lazarus in chapter 16?

1. The lost sheep - Luke 15:3-7

2. The lost coin - Luke 15:8-10

3. The lost boy Luke 15:11-32

4. The unjust steward - Luke 16:1-13

5. The rich man and Lazarus - Luke 16:19-31

1 Corinthians 15:51 "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,"

1 Corinthians 15:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

We will sleep till the last trumpet and be changed.

Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

John 5:28 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,"

John 5:29 "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

There will be two resurrections.

One for the good.

One for the evil.

Job 21:30 "That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath."

Job 21:31 "Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?"

Where are the wicked going?

The wicked will be reserved to the day of destruction.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope."

1 Thessalonians 4:14: "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

1 Thessalonians 4:15 "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep."

1 Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

1 Thessalonians 4:17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

1 Thessalonians 4:18 "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

Comfort those who die, that we are asleep in Jesus.

1 Corinthians, 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

1 Corinthians, 15:23 "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."

Every one in Christ will live with him.

But there is a order in which we go.

Jesus first.

Later those that are in Christ at his coming.

1 Corinthians 15

The whole chapter talks about death and resurrection.

God’s people are the seed of Abraham.

God's Promise Part 1

Exodus 19:5: Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

This was a conditional prophecy.

If the people would put worship God then the land would be theirs.

Judges 2:6 “And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.”

Judges 2:7 “And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.”

Judges 2:8 “And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.”

Judges 2:9 “And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.”

Judges 2:10 “And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”

Judges 2:11 “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:”

Judges 2:12 “And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.”

Judges 2:13 “And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.”

Judges 2:15 “Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.”

Judges 2:16 ‘Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.”

Judges 2:17 “And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.”

Judges 2:18 “And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.”

Judges 2:19 “And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.”

Judges 2:20 “And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

Judges 2:21 “I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:”

Judges 2:22 “That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.”

Judges 2:23 “Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.”

God sent people to turn them from their sinful ways but the people would always fall back into doing evil.

Jeremiah 7:4 "Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these."

Jeremiah 7:5 "For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; "

Jeremiah 7:6 "If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:"

Jeremiah 7:7 "Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever."

Another conditional prophesy.

This time about the temple and the land.

None of these have to be fulfilled. God is using "IF" many times.

If the people follow the promise then the land and the temple will remain theirs.

Jeremiah 18:6 "O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel."

Jeremiah 18:7 "At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;"

Jeremiah 18:8 "If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them."

Jeremiah 18:9 "And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;"

Jeremiah 18:10 "If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them."

Jeremiah 18:11 "Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good."

Now the Lord is not telling the good that will come but the bad.

The promise is turned around.

Weeks and Days

Ezekiel 4:6 "And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt

bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for

a year."

This shows that a day can represent a year.

Genesis 29:27,28 "Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week:"

This shows that a week can represent seven years.

70 Weeks are Determined.

Because the people did not listen, God then gives the people a time period.

After telling your kid what to do many times, if he still does not listen, many then give the kid a certain amount of time before the punishment comes.

This is part of what God is telling Daniel.

If the people refuse to worship God then the temple and the land will be taken away from them and never returned.

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon the holy city, to finish the trangression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."

70 weeks are determined to bring about much for Israel.

There are 7 days in a week so lets times: 70*7=490

Weeks means years so it would take 490 years to fulfill this prophecy.

Probation period-------------------------------------490

Decree to rebuild Jerusalem----------------------457BC

33AD

Plus one since there is no Zero year. +1AD

34AD

Saul was changed to Paul and he started his ministry to the Gentiles in 34 AD.

The 69th Week

Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the goin forth of the commandment to restore to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be build again, and the wall, even in troublous times."

Messiah, means Anointed One.

Threescore means 60.

Threescore and two weeks = 62 weeks.

62 weeks + the seven weeks = 69.

There is seven days in a week so 69*7=483.

Weeks equal years so 483 years till the Messiah.

The years till the Messiah comes---------------------------------483

The Decree to rebuild Jerusalem is ----------------------------457 BC

26 AD

Add one more year because there +1

was no Zero in between BC and AD. 27 AD

Jesus was baptized in 27 AD.

The Anointed One came right on time.

End of 62 Weeks

Daniel 9:26 "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 there of shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."

Threescore is 60 + two weeks = 62

It says after the 62 weeks the Messiah is to be cut off.

The second half of Daniel 9:25 time is 62 weeks.

So after the end of the 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off.

Jesus died on the cross in 31 AD.

But not for himself?

Jesus died on the cross for us.

The second half of this scripture does not have a time.

Jerusalem and the Sanctuary will be destroyed again.

This happened in 70 AD.

The 70th Week

Daniel 9:27 "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."

The seventieth week ended in 34 AD so in the middle of the week 27AD-34AD would be around 31AD.

So in 31 AD we would no longer need to sacrifice animals for forgiveness of sins.

69th week----------------------27 AD

70th week----------------------34 AD

Mid Week---------------------30-31AD

Jesus died on the cross around 31 AD.

The blood of Jesus wipes away are sins.

We no longer need to sacrifice animals.

God's Promise Part II

God had promised that the time period for the Jews to return to God was running out.

The 70th week marked the end of that period.

Did this prophesy disturb Daniel?

Daniel 10:2 "2: In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks."

This bothered Daniel very much, time was running out and the people did not want to change their ways.

Galatians 4:4 "But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,"

Galatians 4:5 "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."

Jesus was sent for all men, not just a certain nation.

Luke 19:41 "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,"

Luke 19:42 "Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes."

Luke 19:43 "For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,"

Luke 19:44 "And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."

Matthew 23:36 "Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."

Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"

Matthew 23:38 "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."

Matthew 23:39 "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

The building is left desolate.

There time is over.

The temple would be destroyed and no longer can the Jews declare that they are the only seed of Abraham. Only those that believe Jesus is the savior and follow him will be saved.

Matthew 21:33 "Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:"

Matthew 21:34 "And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it."

Matthew 21:35 "And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another."

Matthew 21:36 "Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise."

Matthew 21:37 "But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son."

Matthew 21:38 "But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance."

Matthew 21:39 "And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him."

Matthew 21:40 "When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?"

Matthew 21:41 "They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons."

Matthew 21:42 "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"

Matthew 21:43 "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."

The word here for nation means:

1..a multitude (whether of men or of beasts)

associated or living together

a.a company, troop, swarm

2. a tribe, nation, people group

Matthew 21:44 "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

Matthew 21:45 "And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them."

Matthew 21:46 "But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. "

The promise would be given to the people (Christians) that believed in him - Jesus.

1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"

1 Peter 2:10 "Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."

We the people of God are the new holy nation.

Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."

Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

Galatians 3:29 "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

We are all one in Christ Jesus, the Jews are the same as us, and if we believe in him we will be of Abraham's seed and the heirs of his promise.

Galatians 6:14 "But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."

Galatians 6:15 "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature."

Galatians 6:16 "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel o God."

What is our new name here?

THE ISRAEL OF GOD.

John 4:21 "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father."

John 4:22 "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews."

John 4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."

John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

John 4:25 "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things."

John 4:26 "Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he."

Do you want to be part of the Israel Of God?

Israel

Amos 9:11 "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old"

The temple will rise once again.

Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

Romans 2:28 "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:"

Romans 2:29 "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

To be a Jew is from the inside not outside?

Romans 9:6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel"

Romans 9:7 "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called."

They are not all Israel, which are of Israel?

.....

Decree of Artaxerxes 457 BC

Ezra 7:11-28 The Decree is told here on the restore to build Jerusalem.

Birth of Jesus - 4 BC

Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,"

and the virgin's name was Mary."

Luke 1:28 "And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the

Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."

God."

shall be no end."

Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon

thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy

thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."

Luke 2:1 "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar

Augustus, that all the world should be taxed."

Luke 2:2 "(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

Luke 2:3 "And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city."

Luke 2:4 "And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,

unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and

lineage of David:)"

Luke 2:5 "To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child."

Luke 2:6 "And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she

should be delivered."

Luke 2:7 "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,

and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch

over their flock by night."

Luke 2:9 "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone

round about them: and they were sore afraid."

Luke 2:10 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of

great joy, which shall be to all people."

Luke 2:11 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the

Lord."

Luke 2:12 "And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling

clothes, lying in a manger."

Luke 2:13 "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising

God, and saying,"

Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

The Messiah - 27 AD

John 3:21 "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened,"

John 3:22 "And the Holy Ghost decended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased"

Jesus Dies for our Sins - 30-31 AD

John 19:5 "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And

Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!"

John 19:19 "And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF

NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."

Mark 15:34 "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Luke 23:44 "And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour."

Luke 23:45 "And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."

Luke 23:46 "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I

commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

Saul, Paul Conversion - 34 AD

Acts 22:1 "Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you."

Acts 22:2 "(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)"

Acts 22:3 "I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day."

Acts 22:4 "And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women."

Acts 22:5 "As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished."

Acts 22:6 "And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me."

Acts 22:7 "And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"

Acts 22:8 "And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest."

Acts 22:9 "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."

Acts 22:10 "And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do."

Acts 22:11 "And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus."

Acts 22:12 "And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,"

Acts 22:13 "Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him."

Acts 22:16 "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord."

Acts 13:9 "Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,"

New Covenant

Hebrews 9:11 "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;"

Hebrews 9:12 "either by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."

Redemption is through Jesus now.

We do not need to sacrifice no more.

Salvation

1 John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Continue to believe so that you may know you have eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

Ephesians 2:9 "Not of works, lest any man should boast."

You are save through God's grace through faith in Jesus.

It is a gift.. Not something you earn.

Not from works. So that no one can boast.

Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Because we are saved by grace means we should want to establish God's laws.

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

We have all sinned.

Genesis 3:3 "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

God said that if we eat of the tree we would die.

Adam and Eve ate the tree and since then we have all been born into sin.

Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The seed of the serpent must be those who follow the Devil.

So the seed of the women then must be those who worship God.

The Serpent will bruise the woman's heel causing much pain.

But the Woman will be victorious bruising the head of the serpent.

God sent Jesus to die for our sins and bruised the Devil's head.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Because of sin we deserve to die.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

But God gave us a gift, Jesus Christ, so that we may have eternal life.

Ephesians: 2:1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins"

We were dead because of sin but Jesus conquered death baring our sin.

1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"

1 John 2:2 "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

Jesus bared the sins for the whole world.

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

The Word was God

John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

Jesus is God who became man for us.

Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for other remission f sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

He became a sacrifice for us to show righteousness and that he is a just God.

2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Jesus knew no sin but Jesus became sin.

When Jesus died on the cross he became guilty for our sins.

He took our guilt and placed it on Christ.

God then gives us the perfect life that Christ lived.

This is how we can enter into heaven.

If we accept the gift of Christ's perfect life and the forgiveness for our sins then we can know we have life.

1 John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."

1 John 5:12 "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."

All we need to do is accept Jesus.

If we have Jesus we have eternal life.

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Asking Jesus into our lives is more then just saying the words.

We must invite him as Lord, Master and Savior.

We must be willing to be obedient to him.

Our obedience don't save us but he gives us a desire to love his ways.

John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

John 3:4 "Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"

John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

John 3:7 "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."

Except Christ, get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit.

Titus 3:4 "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,"

Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;"

Titus 3:6 "Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"

We are saved because of God's love.

Not because of our works but because of his mercy.

Only through Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

We are not the same person, we have become new.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

He forgives us of any sins.

1 John 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."

We become sons and daughters of God.

Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

Will you open the door and let Jesus in your heart?

Jerusalem and Temple Destroyed - 70 AD

In 70 AD, the Roman Army, under Titus, destroys Jerusalem and the Temple, to suppress an uprising of the Jews. According to the historian Josephus, about 1.1 million Jews were killed. Others were sold as slaves.

Was Jesus a Jew?

Matthew 2:23 "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."

Gods People of New

Galatians 3:6 "Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

Galatians 3:7 "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham"

Galatians 3:8 "And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,"

preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed."

Galatians 3:9 "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham."

Galatians 3:29 "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

Every one in Christ after the cross is now the seed of Abraham.

Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the

blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

Romans 2:28 "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is

outward in the flesh:"

Romans 2:29 "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the

spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

The true Jews are the ones who praise God.

Romans 9:6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel,

which are of Israel:"

Romans 9:7 "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac

shall thy seed be called."

Romans 9:8 "That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but

the children of the promise are counted for the seed."

Israel is now God's People.

Gods Church.

Colossians 1:18 "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

Colossians 1:19 "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;"

Colossians 1:20 "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

Jesus is the head of the Church.

Ephesians 1:22 "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,"

Ephesians 1:23 "Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all."

The Church is the body of Christ or any who give him subject of their life.

Jesus is the Head.

The people make up the body.

Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

It does not take any building or denomination to believe and worship God.

Ephesians 5:23 "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."

Ephesians 5:24 "Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."

Christ is the head of the Church.

The Church is subject to Christ only.

Ephesians 4:11 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;"

Ephesians 4:12 "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"

All the teachers, apostles, prophets, pastors, ect. are for the edifying of the body of Christ.

We learn from them so we might also grow in God.

Ephesians 2:19 "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;"

Ephesians 2:20 "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"

Jesus is the corner stone, no man.

Follow Jesus.

Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The seed of the serpent must be those who follow the Devil.

So the seed of the women then must be those who worship God.

The Serpent will bruise the woman's heel causing much pain.

But the Woman will be victorious bruising the head of the serpent.

God sent Jesus to die for our sins and bruised the Devil's head so that we might not die but have everlasting life.

Revelation 12:13 "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child."

The dragon is the Devil.

The women is the Church.

The Devil is persecuting the Church.

Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

God is protecting the Church here.

Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

The Devil get mad at the church.

Remnant means the last part.

The last of the church is those who keep God's commandments and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I believe he means all ten.

Revelation 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Believe what the prophets said.

Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."

Revelation 22:7 "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."

Study and believe what the word of God has to say.

Babylon - 605 BC

Daniel 2:32 - "This image's head was of fine gold"

Daniel 2:38 - "Thou art his head of gold."

Daniel interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's ruler of Babylon's Dream.

Daniel 7:4 - "The first was like a lion".

Revelation 13:2 - "and his mouth as the mouth of a lion"

Daniel 7:4 "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."

The wings represent that the world was conquered very quickly.

Medo-Persia - 538 BC

Babylon is over thrown by Medo-Persia.

Daniel 5:30 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom"

The Meds were actually united with the Persians to form Medo -Persia.

Daniel 2:32 - "his breast and his arms of silver"

Daniel 7:5 - "And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side"

Revelation 13:2 "and his feet were as the feet of a bear"

Daniel 8:3 - "a ram which had two horns"

Daniel 8:20 - "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia."

Daniel 8:3 "And the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last."

Clearly show the two parts of Medo-Persia.

Daniel 8:4 "I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great."

Medo-Persia is shown as great.

Greece - 331 BC

Daniel 2:32 "his belly and his thighs of brass"

Daniel 2:39 "And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth."

Daniel 7:6 "After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard"

Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard"

Daniel 8:5 "behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes."

Daniel 8:21 "And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."

The horn represents the first king of Greece "Alexander the Great".

Daniel 8:8 "Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken;" The horn being broken represents the death of Alexander who at the age of 32 after conquering the entire civilized world.

Daniel 7:6 "After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."

Daniel 8:8 "and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven."

Daniel 8:22 "Now that being broken whereas four stood up for it"

After Alexander died his kingdom was divided among his four leading generals - Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy.

Daniel 8:8 "Therefore the he goat waxed very great"

Greece is shown as very great.

Rome - 196 BC

Daniel 2:33 "his legs of iron"

Daniel 2:40 "And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron."

Daniel 7:7 "and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth:"

Daniel 7:19 "Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;"

Daniel 7:23 "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."

This describes the old Pagan Rome.

Daniel 8:8 "and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven."

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

Many believe that this is Antiochus Epiphanes, in Daniel 8, it does look allot like it would be him.

But did this horn come out of the four notable ones or is this power coming out of the four winds of heaven?

The four winds of heaven is simply one of the directions of the compass.

Antiochus Epiphanes took power but never became greater.

This power must become exceeding great.

Rome became exceeding great.

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south,"

This was true of Rome. Egypt was made a province of the Roman Empire in 30 B.C., and continued such for some centuries.

Daniel 8:9 "and toward the east,"

Rome conquered Syria in 65 B.C., and made it a province.

Daniel 8:9 "and toward the pleasant land."

What is the pleasant land?

Jeremiah 3:18 "In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

Jeremiah 3:19 "But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."

Judea became known as the pleasant land.

The Romans made it a province of their empire in 63 B.C.

Rome eventually destroyed Judea the city and the temple, and scattered the Jews throughout the earth.

Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host"

Who is the prince of the host?

Daniel 8:25 "he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."

Or the Prince of princes?

Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"

Jesus is the prince, Rome is the one who crucified him.

Antiochus Epiphanes died long before Jesus came.

Sabbath is Changed - 325 A.D.

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

The beast is to change times and laws.

Could times be Saturday and Sunday.

Law the Commandments of God.

Back then Emperor Constantine thought it would be easier for pagans to become Christians if some of

their beliefs were modified and then incorporated into Christianity. So in 325 A.D. Constantine enacted

the first Sunday Law proclaiming the Day of the Sun ("Sunday") as Rome's official day of rest from

work. As the centuries passed, various church councils and Popes solidified on Sunday as the day for the masses to rest from work and worship God.

Romans 3:30 "Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith."

Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Because we are saved by grace means we should establish God's laws.

Nehemiah 13:15 "In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals."

Nehemiah 13:16 "There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem."

Nehemiah 13:17 "Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?"

Nehemiah 13:18 "Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath."

Nehemiah 13:19 "And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day."

Nehemiah 13:20 "So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice."

Nehemiah 13:21 "Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath."

We should not buy or sell or be in a hurry for the Sabbath to end.

Romans 7:7 "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."

Romans 7:12 "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good."

Romans 7:14 "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin."

What law is he talking about?

The Law is holy.

The Law is Just.

The Law is Good.

The Law is Spiritual.

James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

James 2:11 "For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law."

Again which law is he talking about?

Should we keep them all?

John 5:46 "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me."

John 5:47 "But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"

If we can't believe Moses how will we believe Jesus?

Malachi 3:6 "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."

Does the Lord change?

Proverbs 6:23 "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:"

Do you want God to light your path?

The commandments are instructions to our way of life.

Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?

Mark 1:21 "And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught."

Mark 6:2 "And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?"

Jesus taught on the sabbath.

Luke 4:16 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

Jesus went to the synagogue to read on the Sabbath.

This was his custom.

Was the Sabbath kept after Jesus died on the Cross?

Luke 23:55 "And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid."

Luke 23:56 "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."

The sabbath was kept right after.

Acts 13:27 "For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him."

The teachings of the prophets were read every sabbath.

Acts 15:21 "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day."

Looks like the teachings of Moses was read every sabbath.

Acts 17:2 "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,"

Acts 17:3 "Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ."

Paul teaches on the sabbath.

Acts 18:4 "And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks."

Looks like Paul taught in the synagogue every sabbath.

Rome has split into ten - by 476 AD

Daniel 2:33 "His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay."

Daniel 2:41 "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided".

Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a forth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns."

Daniel 7:20 "And of the ten horns that were in his head".

Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns."

Daniel 7:23 " Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."

The beast will break in pieces.

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of his kingdom are the ten kings that shall arise:"

Part of iron and part of clay, iron and clay will not work with each other.

Massive Barbarian invasions took place up through 476 A.D.

The ten nations were the:

1. Alemani (Germany)

2. Franks (French)

3. Burgundians (Switzerland)

4. Suevi (Portugal)

5. Anglo-Saxon (Britian)

6. Visigoths (Spain)

7. Lombards (Italy)

8. Vandals

9. Ostrogoths

10. Heruli

These are the ten toes.

Three Kingdoms Uprooted - 493, 534, 538

Daniel 2:42 "And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken [or "brittle"]."

Daniel 7:8 " I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:"

Daniel 7:20 "And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell"

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. "

Three kingdoms from the divisions of Rome opposed the spiritual supremacy of the papacy.

They were the:

Herulis - destroyed in 493

Vandals -destroyed in 534

Ostrogoths - uprooted from Rome in 538 and destroyed in 553.

Explaining Daniel Eight - Ten through Thirteen.

Verse Ten:

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."

Shows Rome.

Daniel 8:10 "And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."

Another word for host is army.

So who is the armies of heaven?

Daniel 8:24 "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people."

Daniel 8:25 "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many"

I believe Host is talking about Gods people.

Verse Eleven:

Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host"

The prince of the Host?

Daniel 8:25 "he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."

Who is the prince of the host or the Prince of princes?

Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"

Jesus is the prince.

Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host"

Daniel 8:25 "he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;"

Jesus is the prince, Rome is the one who crucified him.

Daniel 8:11 "and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down."

The Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Sanctuary in 70 AD.

Lets do thirteen first then come back to twelve.

Verse Thirteen:

In this passage many will say that Daniel 8:13 is about one event.

I'm trying to show that this is used as a more general use.

Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"

First off the word "sacrifice" is Italicized, this means that the translators inserted the word in hopes to give us a better understanding of the passage.

Second the word here for "daily" in Hebrew was translated "continually" or "continual" 79 times, only seven times was it translated "daily" and five of those times are in Daniel.

In fact the Hebrew word found here translated as "daily sacrifice" is only found in Daniel.

Now lets take a look at the Transgression of Desolation.

Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"

The word Transgression means rebellion and sins against God

Example for Transgression:

Job 13:23 " How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin."

The word desolation means to leave the land as waste and deserted.

Example for Desolation:

Leviticus 26:31 "And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours."

Leviticus 26:32 "And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it."

Now lets look at the scripture again using what we have learned.

Lets take out the word sacrifice that was put in and change transgression of desolation to better help understand the meaning.

Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning "the continual, the rebellion of sins against God, and the land left for waste," to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"

Now this sounds more like the time the church is going through paganism.

Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the "church fallen into paganism?" to give both the sanctuary and Gods people to be trodden under foot?"

All I’m trying to point out here that this does not pertain to one event, that this is a general meaning and can apply to many different events and circumstances.

Here is an example in Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 33:29 "Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed."

Daniel 8:13 is most likely talking about the time started in this chapter which is Medo-Persia and ends at the cleansing of the Sanctuary.

Now back to twelve.

Verse Twelve:

Daniel 8:12 "And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered."

Or interpret this as:

Daniel 8:12 "And Gods people was given him against the continual rebellion against God, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered."

Now lets put it all together.

Verses 8:10-13 redo.

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn "Rome", which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."

Daniel 8:10 "And it waxed great, even to Gods Holy People and it cast down some of Gods people and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."

Daniel 8:11 "Yea, he magnified himself even above "Jesus the leader of God's people" and by him he continually took away, destroying Jerusalem and the Sanctuary in 70 AD."

Daniel 8:12 "And Gods people was given to Rome for the continual rebellion against God, and Rome cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered."

Daniel 8:13 "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning "the continual rebellion of sins against God, and the land left for waste," to give both the sanctuary and Gods people to be trodden under foot?"

Antichrist/First Beast - 538 AD

Will use the redo verses for Daniel 8:10-13.

Daniel 8:10 "And it waxed great, even to Gods Holy People and it cast down some of Gods people and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."

Daniel 8:24 "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people."

Daniel 8:25 "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many"

Many Christians during this time will be killed.

Daniel 8:24 "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:"

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,"

How did he get this power?

How is this power different from the others?

Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Constantine wanted to move the capital. When he left Rome he turned it over to the Bishop of Rome.

Before the power was only a political power.

After the Bishop comes into power the beast or Rome now is under both political and religious power.

Labanca, Prof. of History at the University of Rome: "To the succession of the Caesars came the succession of the Pontiffs in Rome. When the Constantine left Rome he gave his seat to the Pontiff."

The decree written in 533 did not become effective until 538 A.D. with the defeat of the last of the Arian powers that ruled much of the western remnants of the empire.

Daniel 8:12: And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered."

or

Daniel 8:12 "And Gods people was given to Rome for the continual rebellion against God, and Rome cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered."

The power of the priest is equal to that of Jesus Christ. For in this role the priest speaks with the voice and authority of God Himself... When the priest pronounces the words of consecration he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man... not once, but a thousand times! the priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command."

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus".

The title Priest indicates a mediator, a go-between, someone who represents man to God.

Revelation 13:1 "and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."

Revelation 13:5 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies".

What is blasphemy?

Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

1. A man that claims that they can forgive sins.

John 10:33 "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

2. A man that claims to be equal to God.

Daniel 5:23 "But hast lifted up thyself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:"

Daniel 5:30 "In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain."

3. Taking that which is holy to God and mixing it with pagan worship.

Daniel 7:8 "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

Daniel 7:20 "And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows."

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

II Thessalonians 2:4 "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

The power of the priest, says St. Bernardine of Sienna, is the power of the divine person for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world. The power of the priest is equal to that of Jesus Christ. For in this role the priest speaks with the voice and authority of God Himself... When the priest pronounces the words of consecration he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man... not once, but a thousand times! the priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command."

In a passage which is included in the Roman Catholic Canon Law, or Corpus Juris Canonici, Pope Innocent III declares that the Roman pontiff is "the vicegerent upon earth, not of a mere man, but of very God;" and in a gloss on the passage it is explained that this is because he is the vicegerent of Christ, who is "very God and very man." See Decretales Domini Gregorii Papae IX (Decretals of the Lord Pope Gregory IX), liber 1, de translatione Episcoporum, (on the transference of Bishops), title 7, ch. 3; Corpus Juris Canonici (2d Leipzig ed., 1881), col. 99; (Paris, 1612), tom. 2, Decretales, col. 205. The documents which formed the Decretals were gathered by Gratian, who was teaching at the University of Bologna about the year 1140. His work was added to and re-edited by Pope Gregory IX in an edition issued in 1234. Other documents appeared in succeeding years from time to time including the Extravagantes, added toward the close of the fifteenth century. All of these, with Gratian's Decretum, were published as the Corpus Juris Canonici in 1582.

Pope Pius X authorized the codification in Canon law in 1904, and the resulting code became effective in 1918. For the title "Lord God the Pope" see a gloss on the Extravagantes of Pope John XXII, title 14, ch. 4, Declaramus. In an Antwerp edition of the Extravagantes, dated 1584, the words "Dominum Deum nostrum Papam" ("Our Lord God the Pope") occur in column 153. In a Paris edition, dated 1612, they occur in column 140. In several editions published since 1612 the word "Deum" ("God") has been omitted.

Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count (or add up) the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

VICARIVS FILII DEI was a Pope in the Dark Ages.

V I C AR I V S F I L I I D E I .

5 (v) + 1 (i) + 100 (c) + 1 (i) + 5 (V) + 1 (i) + 50 (L) + 1 (i) + 1 (i) + 500 (d) + 1 (i) = 666.

Revelation 17:6 "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."

Revelation 18:24 "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

It is estimated that 50 million Christians were martyred during the Middle Ages.

Time and Times and half a Time - 538 - 1798

Daniel 4:32 "And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."

As seen in this verse that time means a year.

Time = 1 year or 360 days

Times = 2 years or 720 days

Half a Time = half of 360 = 180

360 + 720 + 180 = 1260

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

The ten horns are the kingdoms that came out of Rome, the diverse one is when the Pope was given power to rule.

This was given into his hand for time and times and dividing of time or 1260 days.

Revelations 13:5 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."

This is the same time period, both scriptures are talking about speaking blasphemies.

42 months.

In the Jewish calendar all months are 30 days long.

30 * 42 = 1260

Labanca, Prof. of History at the University of Rome: "To the succession of the Caesars came the succession of the Pontiffs in Rome. When the Constantine left Rome he gave his seat to the Pontiff."

The decree written in 533 did not become effective until 538 A.D. with the defeat of the last of the Arian powers that ruled much of the western remnants of the empire.

Revelation 12:6 "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

1000 + 200 + threescore or 60 = 1260

The women here is God's People.

She fled from persecution during the Dark Ages.

Revelation 12:13 "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child."

Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

Times, and times, and half a time.

In 1796 Napoleon sent a French general to Rome to take the Pope prisoner. But strangely he did not accomplish his mission. He stayed down there for a while, met no opposition later taking his armies all the way back to France having done nothing.

Napoleon in 1798 sent the French General Berthier down to the Vatican. He took the Pope prisoner and then there was no Pope.

Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."

Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

The beast that was Rome ruled by the Pope ended just as the prophecy said.

The beast was wounded but says that the deadly wound would be healed.

Revelation 13:11 "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."

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

The second beast could be a different kingdom but will exercise the same power or laws as the first beast did..

Revelation 13:16 "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:"

Revelation 13:17 "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."

You will know the beast when you are told to receive the mark in order to buy or sell.

U.S.A In Prophecy – Sometime around 1798

Revelation 13:11 "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."

Water symbolizes multitudes of people right?

Revelation 17:15 "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

Water on the earth covers most of our world.

If water is symbolizing many people.

Then does this mean the earth is opposite of water.

Meaning the earth is a small number of people?

Around 1798 what land was settled in that had only a small number of people?

Italian Cristoforo Colombo , Spanish Cristóbal Colón master navigator and admiral whose four transatlantic voyages (1492–93, 1493–96, 1498–1500, and 1502–04) opened the way for European exploration, exploitation, and colonization of the Americas. He has long been called the “discoverer” of the New World, although Vikings such as Leif Eriksson had visited North America five centuries earlier. Columbus made his transatlantic voyages under the sponsorship of Ferdinand II and Isabella I , the Catholic Monarchs of Aragon, Castile, and Leon in Spain. He was at first full of hope and ambition, an ambition partly gratified by his title “Admiral of the Ocean Sea,” awarded to him in April 1492, and by the grants enrolled in the Book of Privileges (a record of his titles and claims); however, he died a disappointed man.

Just about the time of 1798 people flock to America and establishes a Godly country.

Revelation 13:11 "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."

God has blessed America for its Godly beliefs.

Thank God for this country.

We do our best to represent the lamb.

Revelation 13:11 "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."

We will turn though.

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

What was wounded in 1798.

The church lost its relgious political power.

Sometime in the future Church and State must unite and force religious beliefs on the people.

Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire"

Acts 2:1 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place." Acts 2:2 "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."

Acts 2:3 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."

Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."

Earthly Sanctuary.

Leviticus 4:1 "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"

Leviticus 4:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:"

What is sin?

1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

The Ten commandments were kept in the sanctuary in the ark of the covenant.

Leviticus 4:3 "If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering."

Leviticus 4:4 "And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD."

Tabernacle has three parts:

Outer Court.

Holy Place.

Most Holy Place.

Leviticus 4:5 "And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:"

Leviticus 4:6 "And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary."

Leviticus 4:7 "And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

Sin is first transferred on to bullock.

Second it is transferred into the holy place on the altar of incense.

This was done once a day, known as "daily".

Alter of Incense

Exodus 25:22 "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel."

Leviticus 16:2 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat."

God puts mercy over his commandments.

Even though we sin God has mercy to forgive us.

Leviticus 16:3 "Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering."

Leviticus 16:6 "And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house."

Leviticus 16:11 "And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:"

The bullock was for his sins.

Leviticus 16:5 "And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering."

Two goats and one ram.

Leviticus 16:7 "And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

Leviticus 16:8 "And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat."

One goat is for the Lord.

One goat is for the scapegoat.

The actual meaning for the word is of two parts. First part means goat and the second part means "gone" or "to go away".

Leviticus 16:9 "And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering."

Leviticus 16:15 "Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:"

Leviticus 16:16 "And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness."

The Lords Goat was to be sacrificed for all the sins.

Only by accepting Jesus can are sins be forgiven.

2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Jesus lived a perfect life for us and by accepting him we become clean while Jesus bares our sins.

Leviticus 16:16 "And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness."

Leviticus 16:17 "And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel."

Leviticus 16:18 "And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about."

He takes:

First all the daily sins that were transferred into the holy place on the alter of incense.

Second his (the priests) sins from the bullock.

Third the sins of everyone else from the goat.

Leviticus 16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:

Leviticus 16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:

All year long the sins have been transferred into the Holy Place.

But once a year the sanctuary gets cleansed.

Leviticus 16:10 "But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness."

Leviticus 16:20 "And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:"

They live goat only comes in once the reconciliation is complete.

Leviticus 16:21 "And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

Leviticus 16:22 "And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness."

In the end the scapegoat is the one left with all the sin.

Another word for scapegoat used in other versions of the Bible is Aza'zel.

Same scripture but using the Revised Standard Bible.

Leviticus 16:8 "and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Aza'zel."

Aza'zel was another name used for Satan.

Here is a scripture out of a book that was not included into the Bible.

This was written around the same time as the scriptures we are looking at.

I'm know nothing about this book, just want to point out that the same name is representing the Devil around the same time period.

1 Enoch 9:6 "Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven which men were striving to learn:"

1 Enoch 10:8 "And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.'

Is there any proof that writings from this book are old?

Jude 1:14 "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,"

Is Satan the scapegoat?

Could the Devil be sent into a wilderness?

Revelation 20:1 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

The Devil is sent to the bottomless pit for 1000 years.

Heavenly Sanctuary.

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

What did the sanctuary mean to Daniel?

Exodus 25:8 "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them."

The place where God dwells.

Exodus 25:9 "According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it."

Exodus 25:40 "And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount."

Did the pattern refer to another sanctuary?

Hebrews 8:1 "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"

Hebrews 8:2 "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

There is two sanctuaries, one of mans and one of Gods.

Hebrews 8:3 "For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer."

Hebrews 8:4 "For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:"

Hebrews 8:5 "Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."

The sanctuary Moses built is a example of a heavenly sanctuary.

Hebrews 8:1 "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"

Hebrews 8:2 "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

Hebrews 4:14 "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession."

Who is the High Priest in Heaven?

Jesus.

Who is the High Priest here on earth?

Jesus is, he came and died for us, now we go straight to Jesus.

Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"

Revelation 1:6 "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

Who is the Priest's here on earth?

We are the priests.

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"

Between us and God how many do we go through?

Who is it?

John 1:29 "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

Hebrews 9:26 "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared t` put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."

The lambs that were sacrificed always pointed to Jesus death on the cross.

Revelation 8:3 "And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne."

Revelation 8:4 "And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand."

The altar of incense shown in heaven.

The only way we can get to heaven is by Christ’s perfect life.

Hebrews 9:24 "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"

Here is the holy place in heaven.

Jesus is the High Priest to appear before God for us.

The most holy place:

1. Where God dwells.

2. Where the law of God is.

The outer courtyard:

Where the people that sinned that brought their sacrifices.

What stood between them?

The Holy Place:

Between the Most Holy Place and the Outer Courtyard who stood in between?

Jesus.

Romans 5:10 "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Death of the Son.

Saved by his life.

Jesus’ perfect life.

John 16:8 "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"

John 16:9 "Of sin, because they believe not on me;"

John 16:10 "Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;"

John 16:11 "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."

Sin - Outer court

Righteousness - Holy Place.

Judgment - Most Holy Place.

Who was judged?

Satan is judged.

What was the last thing to happen at the Sanctuary.

Sin were transferred onto the scapegoat to be led in the wilderness.

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

When the sanctuary is cleansed what starts?

Judgment starts.

Daniel 8:26 "And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days."

Daniel 8:27 "And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it."

Daniel eight ends with Daniel not understanding the vision.

When does the vision start?

Judgment

John 16:8 "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"

John 16:9 "Of sin, because they believe not on me;"

John 16:10 "Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;"

John 16:11 "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."

Sin - Outer court

Righteousness - Holy Place.

Judgment - Most Holy Place.

Who was judged?

Satan is judged.

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

We learned that there is a sanctuary in heaven.

At the end of the cleansing the scapegoat now the Devil would be sent into the wilderness.

Revelation 20:1 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Revelation 20:3 "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."

The Devil is sent to the bottomless pit (representing the wilderness) for 1000 years.

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

What part was cleansed?

The Most Holy place.

When did Jesus go into the most holy place?

Sometime after he died on the cross.

Could the day you came to sacrifice for your sins, be the same day the sanctuary was cleansed?

Grace is still given even though the cleansing of the sanctuary (Judgment) has started.

Has Judgment started already?

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

When does it happen?

We know it starts sometime after the 2300 days.

When did this time period start?

Daniel 8:16 "And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

Daniel 8:17 "So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision."

Gabriel comes to tell Daniel the meaning of the dream.

Gabriel explains the dream until he gets down to the next two verses.

Daniel 8:26 "And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days."

Daniel 8:27 "And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it."

Daniel faints still not understanding the time.

None understood his dream.

Daniel 9:20 "And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;"

Daniel 9:21 "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning,"

While Daniel is deep in prayer the angel Gabriel comes again to him.

The same one who he saw the last time.

Daniel 9:21 "touched me about the time of the evening oblation."

Daniel 9:22 "And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

Daniel 9:23 "At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision."

What has he come to say.

About the time of his vision.

The angel Gabriel came to give Daniel understanding for the time of his vision.

So when did the time period start?

Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the goin forth of the commandment to restore to build Jerusalem"

He lets Daniel know what the starting time is to use to figure out his vision and gives Daniel one of the greatest time prophecy's ever told. The exact time of the coming of the Messiah.

This happened at 457 BC.

The years till the Judgment---------------------------------> 2300

The Decree to rebuild Jerusalem is -----------------------> -457 BC

1843 AD

Add one more year because there--------------------------> + 1

was no Zero in between BC and AD. 1844 AD

Judgment should start somewhere around 1844.

Daniel 7:9 "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire."

Daniel 7:10 "A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."

Daniel 7:22 "Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

Judgment in favor of the saints.

Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

As we already know in 1798 the Pope lost his power ending this time period.

So sometime after this, Judgment is going to start.

Daniel 7:26 "But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."

Judgment against the little horn.

Daniel 7:27 "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."

What is the next thing he saw in Daniel 7?

Judgment.

Daniel 8:14 "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

What is the next thing he saw in Daniel 8?

Judgment.

First Judgment - 1844 (Who's It For)

Daniel 7:26 "But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."

Judgment is against the little horn or the beast.

John 16:8 "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"

John 16:9 "Of sin, because they believe not on me;"

John 16:10 "Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;"

John 16:11 "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."

Judgment is also against Satan himself.

Daniel 7:22 "Until the Ancient of dayas came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

The Judgment is in favor of the saints.

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"

Revelation 14:7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

The gospel will spread.

Judgment is come. Is come that means it is going on now. In 1844 the Judgment started.

So why is judging going on now, doesn't God know who is going to make it?

Revelation 14:7 "for the hour of his judgment is come"

This judgment is also about God, to let the angles know why we should be allowed in heaven.

Daniel 7:22 "Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

The judging will be in our favor.

Until the time comes when we will enter into heaven.

1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

What is a advocate?

A lawyer.

So who is your lawyer?

Jesus is?

John 5:22 "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son"

Who is the Judge?

Jesus is.

The judgment is rigged in our favor.

John 12:47 "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world."

Don't you want Jesus to be your Judge?

1 John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."

1 John 5:12 "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."

1 John 5:13 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

Believe in Jesus and the judgment will be in your favor.

The Mark

Revelation 13:16 "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:"

Revelation 13:17 "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."

Revelation 14:9 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,"

The mark of the beast.

Revelation 7:3 "Say, Hurt not the earth neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."

Revelation 14:1 "And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads".

Revelation 22:4 "And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."

God also has a mark.

Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

Deuteronomy 6:8 "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."

Exodus 13:9 "And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt."

This shows that God's mark is his laws not a number that is put on your hand or forehead but those who keep God's Laws.

Matthew 15:4 "For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death."

Matthew 15:5 "But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;"

Matthew 15:6 "And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."

Matthew 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

The people were putting in offering to God to make them look good before helping there parents.

They were following traditions of man and not the commandments of God.

II Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

There is a falling away.

Exodus 31:13 "Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you."

Exodus 31:14 "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people."

Exodus 31:15 "Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."

Exodus 31:16 "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant."

Exodus 31:17 "It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed."

Exodus 31:18 "And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."

The Devil will come after the commandments of God. The Ten Commandments are being posted back on the school walls. The catholic church changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. Even now is the Pope pushing for mandatory national Sunday laws.

Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant

of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. "

Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

As seen in Revelation the devil will come after the laws of God and those who have the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 13:16 "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:"

Revelation 13:17 "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."

The mark has not yet happened until laws are made. But someday we will have to choose which laws we wish to follow. That of man or God.

1 John 2:3 "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."

1 John 2:4 "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

1 John 2:5 "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."

1 John 2:6 "He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

Signs Of The Times

Matthew 16:3 "And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"

Should we be interested in the signs of the times?

Matthew 24:1 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple."

Matthew 24:2 "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Matthew 24:3 "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

They were curious of what the end would be long ago.

Matthew 24:4 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."

Matthew 24:5 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. "

Matthew 24:6 "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

Jesus did not scold them for asking but goes on and talks of some of the signs of the end.

Matthew 24:7 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilence's, and earthquakes, in divers places."

What signs will there be?

1. War.

2. Famines.

3. Pestilence.

4. Earthquakes.

Matthew 24:8 "All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Matthew 24:9 "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."

5. Christians will be hated.

Matthew 24:10 "And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another."

6. Hatred.

Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

7. False prophets.

Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

8. The Gospel will be preached to all the nations.

Daniel 12:4 "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

9. Knowledge will be increased.

Luke 21:11 "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilence's; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."

10. Fearful signs from heaven.

2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."

2 Timothy 3:2 "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"

2 Timothy 3:3 "Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"

2 Timothy 3:4 "Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;"

2 Timothy 3:5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

What will the people be like?

1. Lovers of themselves.

2. Covetous.

3. Boasters.

4. Proud.

5. Blasphemers.

6. Disobedient to parents.

7. Unthankful.

8. Unholy.

9. No affection.

10. Liars.

11. False accusers.

12. Incontinent.

13. Fierce.

14. Despisers of good.

15. Traitors.

16. Heady.

17. Highminded.

18. Lovers of pleasure.

19. Denying God.

Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"

Men will be able to tell the world is falling apart by nature itself.

Luke 21:26 "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

Heart attacks, seldom heard of in the early 1900s, are now the number-one killer.

1 Timothy 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"

1 Timothy 4:2 "peaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;"

Beware of false doctrines.

The Devil is after God's church and will lead many away from God.

1 Timothy 4:16 "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."

Know the word of God.

2 Peter 3:3 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,"

2 Peter 3:4 "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 3:5 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:"

Will everyone believe these signs?

Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Some may disbelieve but everyone will hear.

19. We see around us wars and strife. the world's nations are in constant battle with no end in sight. TV and media daily show the horrors of war all around us. America is spending billions of dollars each year on arms and defense, and we now have seen two world wars. The United Nations recently held 81 sessions in 18 months to resolve the problems of war and not one single problem was settled. Never have these words of Jesus been so fulfilled as today.

20. Famine is a fact. Bangladesh, a country the size of Florida, has over 100,000,000 people in it and no food. India has 638 million, 618 million are malnourished, and starving. Ninety percent of earth's nations produce less food than it takes to feed themselves.

35. Scientists say it will be impossible to feed everyone by 2020.

36. Forty million people in Latin America can't use their water due to pollution and it has to be shipped in daily.

We have acid rain, smog, oil spills, hazardous waste, and hundreds of other problems too great for man to take care of!

2 Timothy 3:5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

A recent poll of Protestant clergymen conducted by sociologist Jeffrey Hadden revealed the following.

(10,000 clergymen, of whom 7,441 replied, were asked four questions):

1. Do you accept Jesus' physical resurrection as a fact?

Fifty-one percent of Methodist said, "No."

Thirty-five percent of United Presbyterian said, "No."

Thirty percent of Episcopalians said, "No."

Thirty-three percent of American Baptist said, "No."

Thirteen percent of American Lutherans said, "No."

Seven percent of Missouri Synod Lutherans said, "No."

2. Do you believe in the virgin birth of Jesus?

Sixty percent of Methodists said, "No."

Forty-four percent of Episcopalians said, "No."

Forty-nine percent of Presbyterians said, "No."

Thirty-four percent of American Lutherans said, "No."

Five percent of Missouri Synod Lutherans said, "No."

3. Do you believe in an evil demon power in the world today?

Sixty-two percent of Methodists said, "No"

Thirty-seven percent of Episcopalians said, "No."

Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

What was it like in the days of Noah?

Genesis 6:5 "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Genesis 6:6 "And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

Genesis 6:7 "And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."

There was much sin on the earth then.

Are people now dwelling in the wickedness as it was then?

Matthew 24:38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"

Matthew 24:39 "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

The people in the days of Noah had many years and signs to decide if they would go with Noah into the ark.

God is giving us our signs.

Noah and his family, eight people in all were the only ones that were saved before.

How many will be ready when Jesus comes and the world comes to an end this time?

The day is at hand.

How much longer can the world go on like this.

Matthew 24:32 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"

Matthew 24:33 "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."

We can know the time is at hand by the signs of the season.

Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."

Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

But no one knows the day or hour he comes.

Matthew 24:43 "But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."

Matthew 24:44 "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

We need to be ready so the day does not come to us like a thief in the night.

John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."

John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

John 14:3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Jesus lets us know that even by all these signs we can have peace.

Luke 21:27 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."

Soon after all these signs Jesus will come again.

Isaiah 25:9 "And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

Praise God that this world will not continue on, but will be made new and we can be with the Lord in Heaven.

Babylon is Fallen

1 Kings 17:1 "And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."

Elijah says plainly that there will be no dew or rain for the next few years.

They probably laughed at those words.

1 Kings 17:7 "And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land."

1 Kings 18:16 "So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah."

1 Kings 18:17 "And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?"

Ahab himself goes out on his horses to meet with Elijah.

Is that you, you troubling of Israel?

1 Kings 18:18 "And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim."

Elijah points the finger back and says it was because of him.

Because they turned on the commandments of the Lord and followed there own ways.

1 Kings 18:19 "Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table."

He tells the prophets to come to meet him.

1 Kings 18:20 "So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel."

1 Kings 18:21 "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."

Pick which one you will follow but don't have opinions.

Choose to follow God and all his commandments or choose man laws and follow him.

Stop claiming you are following the Lord while your following Baal.

1 Kings 18:22 "Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men."

Elijah had to stand up against all the and Prophets, the highest people and the land.

1 Kings 18:23 "Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:"

1 Kings 18:24 "And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken."

1 Kings 18:25 "And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under."

1 Kings 18:26 "And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made."

1 Kings 18:27 "And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked."

Elijah appears to be making fun of the situation.

1 Kings 18:28 "And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them."

1 Kings 18:29 "And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

1 Kings 18:30 "And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down."

Elijah said finally that’s enough.

1 Kings 18:31 "And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:"

1 Kings 18:32 "And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed."

1 Kings 18:33 "And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood."

1 Kings 18:34 "And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time."

1 Kings 18:35 "And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water."

1 Kings 18:36 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word."

1 Kings 18:37 "Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."

He gave all power to God.

1 Kings 18:38 "Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."

1 Kings 18:39 "And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God."

1 Kings 18:40 "And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there."

The end will be much like this.

There will be a spiritual battle.

1 Kings 18:45 "And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel."

1 Kings 18:46 "And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel."

Elijah was the for runner for Ahab.

Malachi 4:4 "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."

The last prophet of the old testament says remember the law of Moses.

We tend to forget laws.

Such as Remember the Sabbath.

Malachi 4:5 "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:"

Elijah will be the forerunner for the last days on Earth.

But Elijah will also be here one more time?

Matthew 17:10 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?"

They knew the prophesy and wondered why.

Matthew 17:11 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things."

He will come and will restore.

Matthew 17:12 "But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."

But he has already come.

So who was it?

Matthew 17:13 "Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist."

They understood that it isn't really Elijah.

John 1:23 "He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."

It is the message of Elijah that is to come not him physically.

Luke 3:3 "And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;"

Luke 3:4 "As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."

Luke 3:5 "Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;"

Luke 3:6 "And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

Again it is the message not the man.

Luke 3:7 "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

His message was.

You generation of vipers.

You just want to be baptized so you won't have the wrath that is to come.

Luke 3:8 "Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."

Repent of your sins and show the fruits of God.

Luke 3:9 "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."

If what you are doing or have is not bringing good fruit then cut if off from you and cast it away.

Luke 3:10 "And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Luke 3:11 "He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise."

Don't Covet.

Luke 3:12 "Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?"

Luke 3:13 "And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you."

Don't Steal

Luke 3:14 "And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."

Do not kill

Do not Bare False Witness

Be content with what you have.

Do not Covet.

Luke 3:19 "But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,"

He even said to Herod.

Do not commit adultery.

Matthew 17:11 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things."

We need to be looking for another message preparing the way before the return of Jesus.

Malachi 4:4 "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."

Revelation 14:12: "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

The message is also of the three angels is in Revelation 14.

Keep Gods commandments and have the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"

1 Kings 18:21 "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

The Elijah message.

Choose who your going to serve.

Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

What is Babylon?

Daniel 1:1 "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it."

Two cities.

Jerusalem and Babylon.

Daniel 1:2 "And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god."

He took God's vessels or cups and took them to Babylon.

These vessels were to be used only to worship God.

They were holy vessels of God.

Daniel 5:1 "Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand."

Daniel 5:2 "Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein."

Daniel 5:3 "Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them."

Daniel 5:4 "They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone."

God blessed the vessels.

God made them holy.

To be used only to worship him.

Man took the cups and used it to worship there own gods.

Trampling on the things God made holy.

Daniel 5:5 "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."

Daniel 5:6 "Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another."

Daniel 5:7 "The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

Daniel 5:8 "Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof."

Daniel 5:9 "Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied."

Daniel 5:10 "Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:"

Daniel 5:11 "There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;"

Daniel 5:12 "Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation."

Daniel 5:13 "Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?"

Daniel 5:14 "I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee."

Daniel 5:15 "And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:"

Daniel 5:16 "And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom."

Daniel 5:17 "Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

Daniel 5:18 "O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:"

God put Nebuchadnezzar on the thrown.

Daniel 5:19 "And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down."

Daniel 5:20 "But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:"

Daniel 5:21 "And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will."

Daniel 5:22 "And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;"

Belshazzar knew all this but his heart was not changed.

Daniel 5:23 "But hast lifted up thyself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:"

He did not glorify the one who made him.

He trampled on the things God said was holy.

Did he do it out of not knowing?

No, It's says he knew all this.

Daniel 5:24 "Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written."

Daniel 5:25 "And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."

Daniel 5:26 "This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it."

God has brought his kingdom to an end.

Daniel 5:27 "TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."

After a certain amount of time, Judgment comes.

Daniel 5:28 "PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

Babylon has Fallen.

Daniel 5:29 "Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."

Daniel 5:30 "In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain."

Daniel 5:31 "And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."

Babylon is of the sinners.

Jerusalem is of the saints.

Revelation 17:1 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:"

Revelation 17:15 "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

Waters are the people.

Revelation 17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."

The woman is a great city?

Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

The name of the women is Babylon.

The waters are multitudes of people who support Babylon.

Judges 2:17 "And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so."

The people turned away going after other gods, disobeying the commandments of God.

They were whore's because they were unfaithful to God.

Revelation 17:4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"

Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

The First Beast was the unfaithful to Gods commandments, now at the end there will be a new church arising like that of Babylon.

Revelation 17:2 "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

The church will team up with the Government or leaders of the earth and work together to make laws that will go against God..

Revelation 17:4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"

Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

SDA believe.

First churches will merge.

Second protestant churches will merge with Rome.

Churches will set aside their doctrines and join together.

The day will come when laws will pass that will trample on the commandments of God.

Revelation 18:1 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory."

Revelation 18:2 "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

Revelation 18:3 "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Come out of Babylon.

Keep all Gods commandments.

John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."

John 10:15 "As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep."

John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

John 10:17 "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again."

John 10:18 "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."

Be in the fold of Jesus.

1 Kings 18:21 "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Choose your side.

Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Come out of Babylon

The Dragon and The Lamb

Revelation 13:4 "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?

Who can make war with him?

Revelation 14:14 "And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Revelation 14:1 "And I looked, and,, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, haveing his Father's name written in their foreheads."

The Lamb can war with him.

Mount Sion -

Hebrews 12:22 "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innmerable company of angels,"

Hebrews 12:23 "To the general assembly and church of the first born, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"

Hebrews 12:24 "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better thing than that of Abel".

Mount Sion is the New Jerusalem and with him are the hundred forty and four thousand, that are the people of God.

Isaiah 2:2 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

Isaiah 2:3 "And many people shall go and say, Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

There will be a revival, the law shall be preached.

Three Angles Messages . . . Physically, Mentally, Spiritually.

First Angel

Revelation 14:15 "And another angel come out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

Revelation 14:16 "And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped".

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel fly in the Midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred and tongue, and people.

Angel in Hebrew means Messenger; the message is coming from the church of God.

At the time of the end how far will the gospel go?

This shows that once every one has heard the gospel then shall the harvest of God's people be ripe.

Revelation 14:7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

1. Fear God

2.Give Glory To Him

3. Worship Him

Why?

The judgment is come.

When did it come?

Will come?

Or

Is come?

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

Genesis 3:2 "And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden"

Genesis 3:3 "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

Genesis 3:4 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die"

Genesis 3:5 "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

She already sinned when she lusted after the tree.

Good for food - Physically.

Pleasant to the eye - Spiritually.

Tree desired to make one wise - Mentally.

Matthew 4:1 "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."

Matthew 4:2 "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred."

Matthew 4:3 "And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

Matthew 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Physically

Matthew 4:5 "Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,"

Matthew 4:6 "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

Matthew 4:7 "Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

Mentally

Matthew 4:8 "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"

Matthew 4:9 "And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

Matthew 4:10 "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

Spiritually

Jesus has gained the victory in all points of our sinful lives.

When he died for us he saved us from all our sins.

Revelation 14: 7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Proverbs 1:7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Fear God - Mentally

How do you glorify God?

1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

Glorify God - Body

1 Corinthians 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"

1 Corinthians 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Glorify God - Body and Spirit

The First Angel lets us know whom to worship.

WHORSIP THE CREATOR

Be restored in God Physically Mentally and Spiritually.

Second Angel

Revelation 14:17 "And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle."

Revelation 14:8 "And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

Who is Babylon?

Babylon is those who do not worship God.

The second angel warns us that Babylon is now fallen and sin abounds everywhere.

Sets the stage for the third angel to follow.

This angel lets us know not to be in sin.

Third Angel

Revelation 14:18 "And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

Sin must also be ripe.

Revelation 14:19 "And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God"

Revelation 14:20 "And the winepress was troden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs."

Revelation 14:9" And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,"

Revelation 14:10 "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb."

Revelation 14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

This angel lets us know that the unsaved will receive a mark and be destroyed.

Serve man and you will receive the winepress of the wrath of God.

Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

Have faith in Jesus and keep his commandments.

Revelation 14:7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

God sent us a message for the end of time on first who to worship and second how.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

The only way we can get salvation is to through Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

We are saved by his grace and can do nothing to earn it.

Jeremiah :13:23 "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."

Can we earn Salvation by doing everything right and good?

All of us sin. We cannot change ourselves to do what is right.

We need to grow in Christ.

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Philippians 4:9 "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."

Jesus is our best example of how to live our lives, read and study the Bible about all he would have us to do. This is the only was we will grow and learn to live are lives the way he would want us to.

Is it a salvation issue to be eating the wrong food?

Is it a salvation issue to be watching the wrong program?

But could doing these ultimately lead you away from your salvation?

God wants us to be ready when he returns.

He sends us a message to be restored Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually.

First which will you serve?

Second how will you serve him?

Revelation 14:7 "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Worship the Creator.

Rapture

John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."

John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Jesus promised that he is preparing a place for you.

He will come back.

Math 24:5 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."

Math 24:6 "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

There will be many rumors and many will be deceived.

People will go after the wrong Jesus.

Matthew 24:23 "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not."

Matthew 24:24 "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."

Matthew 24:25 "Behold, I have told you before."

Matthew 24:26 "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."

If some one says that Jesus is anywhere doing miracles.

Don't believe it.

Don't Go.

Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

The Lord is coming in the sky.

Can you see lightning?

Does anyone need to tell you that was lightning?

Matthew 24:28 "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."

Matthew 24:29 "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:"

Matthew 24:30 "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."

Matthew 24:31 "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."

You will see him coming in the clouds.

Revelation 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

Every eye shall see him.

Even those that pierce him.

Everyone will mourn because of him.

Acts 1:9 "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."

How did he leave?

Taken right before their eyes.

Acts 1:10 "And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;"

Acts 1:11 "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

How did they see him go?

How will he come back?

1 Thessalonians 4:13 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope."

1 Thessalonians 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

1 Thessalonians 4:15 "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep."

1 Thessalonians 4:16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

1 Thessalonians 4:17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

1 Thessalonians 4:18 "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

This is not quite.

The Lord himself shall descend with a shout with the voice of the archangel.

You will hear the trumpet of God.

Does that sound quiet?

Those who are dead in Christ or asleep will be raised first.

Those who are alive and remain will be caught up together with the ones that were asleep.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"

1 Thessalonians 5:10 "Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."

1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."

Whether we are awake or asleep the saints will live together with him.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you."

1 Thessalonians 5:2 "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."

The Lord comes as a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon

them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

People will say peace and safety, then destruction would come on them.

1 Thessalonians 5:4 "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."

But, believers should not be surprised.

God is not coming as a thief in the night to the saints.

The sinners will be surprised not the saints.

He is coming to destroy the sinners.

The saints will be left.

2 Peter 3:10 "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 3:11 "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"

2 Peter 3:12 "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"

When the Lord comes he will take the saints and destroy the wicked.

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

No one knows the day or the hour

Matthew 24:37 "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

This will happen as it were in the days of Noah.

Matthew 24:38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"

People will be doing their own thing.

Matthew 24:39 "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Who did the flood take away?

So who got taken away?

The wicked got taken away.

Matthew 24:40 "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Matthew 24:41 "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

So the wicked will be taken away, not the saints.

Luke 17:34 "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."

Luke 17:35 "Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Luke 17:36 "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."

Again the wicked were taken.

Where will the wicked go?

Luke 17:37 "And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."

Which one are they asking about?

They know where the one that is left is at.

They are still grinding.

They are still in the field.

So where is the one taken to?

Luke 17:37 "And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."

Sounds like their going to their destruction.

There will be no second chances.

The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Matthew 13:28 "The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?"

Matthew 13:29 "But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Matthew 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."

What is this harvest?

What are the tares and wheat?

Matthew 13::38 "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;"

Matthew 13:39 "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."

When Jesus comes again what will happen first?

The rapture of the saints?

or

The wicked are destroyed?

2 Thessalonians 2:8 "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"

God's brightness will destroy the wicked when he comes in the clouds.

Jeremiah 25:33 "And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."

The sinners destruction.

Isaiah 24:6 "Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."

The wages of sin is death.

Matthew 24:42 "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."

Matthew 24:43 "But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."

The wicked will not know he is coming.

We need to be ready when he does come.

Matthew 24:44 "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."

Again, we do not know when he is coming.

Matthew 24:45 "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?"

Matthew 24:46 "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. "

Matthew 24:47 "Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods."

Be patient for the Lord to come.

Matthew 24:48 "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;"

Matthew 24:49 "And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;"

Matthew 24:50 "The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,"

Matthew 24:51 "And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Do not continue to sin and think you can get saved later.

You do not know when he is coming.

After The Rapture

Jeremiah 4:13 "Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."

He is coming in the clouds.

With horses and chariots.

Revelation 19:11 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called

Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."

Who is the rider on the White Horse?

Revelation 19:16 "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Who is that?

This is Jesus.

Revelation 19:19 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."

Against Jesus.

Revelation 19:20 "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

The beast is a Kingdom.

The false prophet is the church deceiving the saints.

Both were cast into the lake of fire.

So who is left.

The Dragon or the Devil.

Revelation 19:21 "And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."

The rest of them is the ones who were deceived and the wicked.

They are destroyed.

Revelation 20:1 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Revelation 20:3 "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."

The Devil is cast into the bottomless pit.

Did the Devil get thrown into a hole that would never end?

The Greek word for "bottomless pit" is the same as "deep" in Genesis 1:2

Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Nothingness.

Revelation 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"

Revelation 20:3 "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."

The earth will be as it was before creation.

Nothing is going on for 1000 years.

This is the Devils prison.

No one will be here for the Devil to deceive.

Revelation 20:4 "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 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."

There were two resurrections.

The saints that did not receive the mark of the beast went and reigned with Christ 1000 years.

The rest of the dead or the wicked did not live again until after 1000 years.

1 Thessalonians 4:15 "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep."

So the dead in Christ are raised first.

The rest of them in Christ are gathered up with them.

The wicked are destroyed.

There is nothing left on the earth and no people to torment.

The Devil is trapped here for 1000 years.

The rest of the dead are raised.

The Devil now has people to torment and is released from his prison.

John 5:28 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,"

John 5:29 "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

Revelation 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second

death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

What are we going to be doing for 1000 years?

We are going to be priests of God and reign with him.

Revelation 20:7 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"

Revelation 20:8 "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,

Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

He is released because the wicked are resurrected at the end of the 1000 years.

Revelation 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

The Devil gather up the people to make war on his beloved city.

Revelation 20:9 "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

The Devil got the wicked to circle his city.

But God sent fire down to devour the wicked.

Then the Devil is cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."

Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

The dead are the wicked and are to be judged.

Revelation 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

Death and hell delivered up the dead?

Judgment starts.

Revelation 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

Revelation 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

This is the second death?

Philippians 2:10 "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;"

Philippians 2:11 "And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Even the wicked at the time of judgment will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Is Hell Eternal?

Is our soul immortal?

2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

First Christ abolished death.

That means we were going to die.

Because of that he brought life and immortality.

But only to those that are saved.

Not the wicked.

1 Corinthians 15:54 "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

The mortal becomes immortal..

We then have victory over death.

Malachi 4:1 "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it

shall leave them neither root nor branch."

Malachi 4::3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 13:40: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Are the tares still burning?

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Eternal life or death.

not

Eternal life in heaven or eternal burning in hell.

1 John 5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12: He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Hmm hath not life.

Wonder if that means I’ll have one that will burn forever.

Psalm 37:20: But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Psalm 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

Job 20:7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

Ezekiel 28:17: Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Ezekiel 28:18: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Ezekiel 28:19: All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Ezekiel 18:4: Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:36: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

John 6:50: This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

John 6:51: I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 6:52: The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

John 6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

John 6:54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Not cast them into the fire that they will burn.

Romans 6:20: For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

Romans 6:21: What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Romans 6:22: But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Thessalonians 1:7: And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

2 Thessalonians 1:8: In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Thessalonians 1:9: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

2 Timothy 1:10: But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

1 John 3:15: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Revelation 20:14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

There are so many scriptures that tells us the choice is life or death.

Only a few lead you to be burning in hell forever.

The Rich Man and Lazarus .... is it literal?

The beggar died and went to Abraham's bosom?

Are we all going there?

The rich man looked up out of hell and could see Lazarus in Abraham's bosom.

Are we going to be able to see each other?

Lazarus then is talking to Abraha27: Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

Is there communication between heaven and hell?

here is how the scripture ends....

Luke 16:28: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Luke 16:29: Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Luke 16:30: And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Luke 16:31: And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Jesus is simply telling them that even if someone came back from the dead, their minds would not be changed to serve God.

Later Lazarus did come back from the dead.

Did this change their minds?

Shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Satan is released.

Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Satan gathers the people to attack Gods holy city.

Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

They surround Gods holy city.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The Devil is thrown into the lake of fire.

This verse does not line up with many other scriptures.

The Greek word used for ever and ever also has other meanings.

1. for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity

2. the worlds, universe

3. period of time, age

Here is the Darby translation.

Revelation 20:10 "And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages.

This could mean just for a period of time.

Ezekiel 28:17: Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Ezekiel 28:18: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Ezekiel 28:19: All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

We have already seen after the Devil gathered the people that he is destroyed.

Ezekiel also shows what happens to him.

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Time for Judgment.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The sinners are judged.

They are already being considered the dead.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Again more on the Judgment.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

All the wicked are thrown into the lake of fire.

We die the first time to the grave.

The wicked will be raised in the second resurrection for final judgment.

Then after the judgment has been cast, everyone will know what sin brings.

God only has one choice to rid the world forever of sin.

It is called the Second Death.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

One more..

Their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched?

Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Mark 9:44: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:45: And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Mark 9:46: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 9:47: And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

Mark 9:48: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

This one is quite simple.

Their worm dieth not.

Simply saying that the worm that eats your flesh won't die.

And

Fire is not quenched.

The fire can not be put out.

In other words there is nothing you can do to get away from destruction.

This is a example to turn away from our wickedness so that we will not be destroyed.

Their are many verses using the worm.

Here is an example.

Job 24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

God gave us a choice.

Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Eternal life or death.

It would be hard to belive that God would continually punish man forever.

God is a loving God.

Serve God out of Love not Fear.

A New Earth:

Revelation 21:1 "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."

The earth we know now is passed away. I belive there is nothing left of what we have now.

Even the oceans are gone.

Isaiah 65:17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."

But for sure we will have a new earth.

Isaiah 24:20 "The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again."

The earth we know will never rise again.

2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."

The new earth will be a place of righteousness.

Revelation 21:4 " 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."

There will be no more pain.

Isaiah 35:5 "hen the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."

Isaiah 35:6 "Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."

Any sickness or disease will be no more.
