Christian Beware!

The whole world is a prisoner of sin (Galatians 3:22)

The whole world is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19)

This reality is not taught in the Church of Christ Jesus as it should.

The reality is that every person is either controlled by the evil one

Or by Christ Jesus, there is no middle ground.

To be controlled by Christ Jesus means that of your own free will

You submit your will to the will of Christ Jesus,

The only Way, the only Truth and the only LIFE.

To accomplish this you must repent of your sins,

Make a confession of faith in Him, as Savior and Lord;

Be washed in His blood for the forgiveness of your sins,

And be filled with His Spirit to enable you to overcome the evil one.

It is Christ in you your hope of glory and nothing else.

The Church has not made it clear

That there is no good thing outside of Christ Jesus;

That if you find your life in this life you will loose it,

But if you lose you life for the sake of Christ you will find it.

The Church in the USA has so accommodated itself to the culture

That in many respects it is indistinguishable from it.

It is certainly not separate from it, as Christ Jesus called it to be.

Christians often have greater patriotism to the USA

Than allegiance to God.

The Church has taken on the spirit of this world,

The spirit of the evil one;

The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.

This accommodation to the culture 

And the taking on of its spirit will be its undoing

As it has been the undoing of every preceding culture.

Sin always brings the inevitable judgment of God.

Sometimes this judgment is God simply removing His protection

And giving over the person or nation to the wiles of the evil one.

This is the unique last hour of human history

And its falling apart, confusion and chaos is currently well underway,

Wickedness is increasing on every side,

The love of most will grow cold as Christ Jesus said it would.

Christ Jesus will be the cause of division between families and friends

Because the culture, through the deception of the devil,

Will blame Christians for its religious, social, political 

And economic problems.

This has been increasing for some time 

But will become ever more virulent.

This phenomena is happening world wide,

Because it is driven by the evil one, the archenemy of Christ Jesus,

The ruler of this world, who knows that his time is short.

The USA and the world are rushing toward the climax

When out of chaos and confusion, the Antichrist, the son of Satan, 

The Beast, will be revealed, and then worshiped;

Rushing toward One World Order, the modern Tower of Babel

And its predetermined failure;

Rushing toward the “mark” of the Beast 

And all its implications and realities;

The worlds final and greatest Holocaust;

Rushing toward The Great Tribulation and its devastation;

And finally, The Battle of Armageddon 

And the return of Christ Jesus in His Glory;

Who defeats the Antichrist with the breath of His mouth

And the splendor of His appearing.

Today, a good part of the culture is overtly Antichrist 

In word and deed.

The choice the Church will have is absolute subjection to the culture 

And government ruled by the devil, or be ostracized from it, 

And death.

The only hope for every Christian at this time is to seek God 

While He may be found.

Those who lay down their lives for Christ Jesus and take up His LIFE,

Will have their names written in the Lamb's Book Of LIFE;

And will receive the reward He has promised.

They will also avoid the wrath of God as the apostle Paul said.

Today, the government, having forsaken God, 

Is attempting to be “god,”

Masquerading as an angel of light, like its ruler;

Guaranteeing the health and wellbeing of its citizens 

For the price of submission to it.

In this pursuit it has gone into enormous debt 

That can never be repaid;

The USA has prostituted itself to the nations it owes money to.

The debtor is always subject to the lender.

The government has driven God out of its schools.

The government has put its seal of approval on 

And paid for abortions;

(Those who live by abortions will die by abortion)

The government has put its seal of approval on homosexuality;

(Ignoring the lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah 

And its inevitable judgment)

The government has therefore cursed God, His Word, 

His Christ and his people, and brought a curse upon itself.

Many within the government evoke the words “God bless America,”

But refuse to bless God.

They honor God with their mouths but their hearts are far from Him.

The nations of the world and their leaders are puppets of the evil one.

They are doing his bidding, manipulated by his puppet strings.

The end of this story is told in God's Word.

Once again God will prove to be God, and men without hope, 

Without Him.

Hell is widening its mouth to receive those 

Who reject God and His Christ.

Heavens doors are opened wide for those who love Christ Jesus

With all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

Christ Jesus, the narrow Way, the only Way.

Lord, you are infinitely more powerful than the evil one;

He is simply a created being with supernatural abilities;

Strengthen those who belong to You by Your Spirit,

That they might stand for You, 

Your Word and Your Christ, Jesus, in this last hour.

God's Blessing And Curse

The Lord had said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your people

And your father's household and go to the land I will show you.

'I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;

I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,

And whoever curses you I will curse;

And all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.' 

(Genesis 12:1-3 NIV)

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law

By becoming a curse for us,

For it is written; 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'

(Galatians 3:10)

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham

Might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,

So that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life.

Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant

That has been duly established, so it is in this case.

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed.

The Scripture does not say 'and to seeds,' meaning many people,

But 'and to your seed,' meaning one person, who is Christ.

(Galatians 3:14-16)

The promise, the blessing and the curse have been in effect

From the time it was given to Abraham to this present day.

All of human history is is a testament to this reality.

Whoever cursed Israel, the lineage of Abraham, were cursed by God

And whoever blessed them were blessed by God.

All the peoples of the earth were blessed by the Christ of God;

That is those who have received Him as the Christ of God.

Those who have rejected Him have been cursed.

The blessing and curse are in effect today in two aspects.

First whoever blesses or curses those in the lineage of Abraham,

That is the Jews and Israel,are under its edict.

Secondly, whoever curses those who belong to the “seed” of Abraham,

That is those who belong to the Christ of God, are also under its edict.

The evil one knows this and therefore Israel, Jews and Christians

Are the focus of his effort to steal, kill and destroy.

The reality of God's blessing and cursing are in the context of a world

That is currently under the control of the devil 

Since the fall of Adam and Eve.

Since the “fall,” all of humanity has a “fallen” nature 

That the devil exploits according to his will.

The only people not exploited by the devil

Are those who have receive Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior;

Cleansed by His blood, immersed in His Spirit;

Allowing Him to live in and through them,

Thereby, coming under His sovereign protection.

The reality of God's promise of blessing and curses are in effect today

And help explain what we see around us.

Today, whoever blesses Israel, the Jews, the lineage of Abraham,

Are blessed by God.

Those who curse them are cursed by God according to His promise.

Today, whoever blesses Christians (those who belong to Christ), 

Are blessed by God.

Those who curse them are cursed by God according to His promise.

Also, to knowingly go against the Word of God is to curse God,

Which brings the curse of God.

This reality comes to its conclusion at The Battle Of Armageddon

Where all the nations of the earth come against Israel and Christ Jesus

And are completely defeated by the Christ of God

With the breath of His mouth and the splendor of His appearing.

The world is striving for a New World Order, 

Under the deception of the evil one,

With the same objective that Nimrod had at the Tower of Babel.

Nimrod was a type of the Antichrist, 

Who thought that he could supersede God, just as Satan did.

All of human history is the record of a world 

Under the deception of the devil,

And the redemptive work of God and His Christ.

It simply comes to an end at the Time Of The END;

The “time” ordained by God where He puts an end to “Time,”

The Antichrist (the son of Satan) and the deception of the devil,

For the thousand years of the Millennium.

Then comes the judgment where God puts and end to sin, 

The scourge of the earth;

He puts an end to the devil.

Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE

Are chosen to enjoy Heaven with Him.

End Time Conclusions From The Book Of Daniel

Daniel Chapters 7-12 foretell what will happen in The Time Of The END.

After a careful study of Daniel Chapters 7-12, 

From the Amplified Version I have written this Epilogue.

(The entire book will soon be available on amazon.com.) 

It contains possible conclusions one could derive 

From these Chapters of Daniel

That speak of The Time Of The END;

The time I believe we a living in; The Season Of The Last Generation.

I have placed it at the front of the book for convenience of the reader.

Who Goes Through The Great Tribulation?

One could conclude from the Book of Daniel, alone,

That the whole of God's Church, goes through The Great Tribulation.

One could conclude from Jesus' parable of the Ten Virgins,

That one-half of the Church of God goes through The Great Tribulation.

One could also conclude from the parable of the Ten Virgins

That the whole Church was asleep when the Bridegroom arrived.

Jesus also said, that there will be a time 

When one will be taken and one remain.

This could imply that one-half of the saints remain to endure

The Great Tribulation.

I believe that He is speaking of the of the time 

When the “Woman” of Rev. 12

Is taken into the desert for the period of The Great Tribulation.

On can conclude from the parable of the Wedding Banquet,

That those invited refused their invitation.

This could refer to a portion of the Church of God.

Some say that there are approximately 2.1 billion Christians 

In the world today,

Approximately 600 million of whom are pentecostal/charismatic.

The potential implications of these numbers are staggering.

The “Woman” Of Revelation 12

Daniel does not speak of the “Woman” of Revelation 12

Who is taken into the desert and protected there by God

For the last three and one-half years of “Time.”

Rapture?

There is no rapture spoken of in the Book of Daniel.

Daniel 12:12, does speak of those who live through 

The Great Tribulation.

I believe that these are those of the “Woman” of Revelation 12.

The Reveling Of The Antichrist

Today, and for some time there has been much speculation

About the identity of the Antichrist.

It seems to me that this person will not be known 

Until the Church of God is in its full rebellion and apostasy;

And the whole world is in complete religious, social, political

And economic turmoil,

Which is a God allowed “test” for the Church of God, and the world,

Brought about by the deception of the evil one.

Then, God removes His Holy Spirit; Then, the Antichrist is revealed.

Simultaneously, the “Woman” of Revelation 12 

Is taken into the desert and safety.

It is very likely, that at that time, Satan will enter into the Antichrist,

Like he did Judas, before the betrayal of Christ Jesus,

With the eleven disciples completely unaware of the situation.

Upon the reveling of the Antichrist, and the setting up of his”image,”

The world believes, that now, there will be be peace and safety;

It is at that time, God begins The Great Tribulation.

The Coming Of The Lord

The Book of Daniel does not specifically speak of 

The Battle of Armageddon.

I does not speak of the second coming of the Lord, Jesus,

Unless it is when He makes a covenant with the “many,” 

The Bride of Christ

At the beginning of the last seven years of “Time”.

The apostle Paul speaking to the Thessalonians says to them:

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant 

About those who fall asleep,

Or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.

We believe that Jesus died and rose again

And so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those

Who have fallen asleep in him.

According to the Lord's own word, 

We tell you that we who are still alive,

Who are left till the coming of the Lord,

Will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, 

With a loud command,

With the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

After that, we who are still alive and are left

Will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Therefore encourage each other with these words. 

(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, NIV)

[This coming of the Lord, spoken of here by Paul,

Is His second coming;

When He comes to The Battle of Armageddon; 

At the end of The Great Tribulation

To destroy the Antichrist and the armies of the world 

That have gather against Him.

All of the saints that go through The Great Tribulation have been killed,

However, some saints are still living on earth.

I believe they are those of the “Woman” of Revelation 12,

Taken into the desert and protected there by God.]

He Will Come Like A Thief In The Night!

The apostle Paul goes on to say:

Now brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,

For you know very well that the day of the Lord 

Will come like a thief in the night.

While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,'

Destruction will come on them suddenly ,

As labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness

So that this day should surprise you like a thief.

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day.

We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,

But let us be alert and self-controlled.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, 

And those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled,

Putting on faith and love as a breastplate, 

And the hope of salvation as a helmet.

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath

But to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,

Just as in fact you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, NIV)

[When the Antichrist first comes to power

People will be saying peace and safety at last;

All religious, social, political and economic tension will be over;

They will all be worshiping the one god, the Antichrist;

They will all be embracing one social, political, and economic system.

Then to the dismay of the world, the Lord begins His Great Tribulation.

Christians who love God 

With all their heart, soul, mind and strength;

Who are filled with His Spirit 

And allow Him to live in and through them

Will not suffer the wrath of God.

I believe that these are those who are taken into the desert

And protected there by God.

This is the Lord coming “like a thief in the night.”

However, we can see from the Book of Daniel

That many Christians go through the Great Tribulation.

The Christians that go through The Great Tribulation

Are not living for God as they should.]

The Condition Of The Church Of God In The Time Of The END

It is the condition of the Church of God,

That brings about the taking away of the Holy Spirit;

The revealing of the Antichrist, 

And the discontinuance of the worship of God.

The Antichrist's power shall be mighty, 

But it will not be his own power

It will be by the power of the evil one, the devil, Satan.

The Antichrist shall corrupt and destroy the holy people—

The people of the saints.

The host, the people of God and their strength

Are given into the hands of the Antichrist

Because of their transgression against God, 

Their irreverence, ungodliness and lack of piety.

The Antichrist is given this power by divine permission 

And for a time he prospers.

Daniel's description of the Church 

Would coincide with Jesus' description:

That because of the increase of wickedness, 

The love of most will grow cold,

And families and friends turn against each other 

Over their relationship to Christ.

We can see today, the social, political, and economic unrest

That will bring all this about.

Under the deception of the evil one,

Christians will be the “scapegoat” for the worlds problems

Just as the Jews were the “scapegoat” 

In Germany in the time of Hitler,

A precursor to The Time of The END.

The United States Of America

If one believes, as I do, that we are near the end of “Time,”

Then it would seem obvious that the USA would play a role in it.

The USA is most likely the Babylon of the Book of Revelation,

Because “Babylon” must of necessity be the greatest of the nations;

The nation with the greatest influence over all the other nations.

From Daniel Chapter 7 verse 8:

I considered the horns, and behold,

There came up among them another horn, a little one,

Before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots;

And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man,

And a mouth speaking great things.

From Daniel Chapter 7 verse 20:

And concerning the ten horns [representing kings] 

That were on its head,

And the other horn which came up LATER

And before which three of the horns fell,

The horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, 

And which looked greater than the others.

The USA came out of the European nations, later.

In its beginning, it was virtually insignificant.

Then, by the hand of God

It defeated the greatest nation on earth of that time, England.

Later the USA wared against France and Spain and won.

Today the USA calls itself the greatest nation on earth,

The only super power, greater than all the other nations.

The USA also fits the allegory of unfaithful Jerusalem of Ezekiel 16;

By the hand of God, the USA was made great; 

The wealthiest nation on earth.

However, it then trusted in its own beauty and became a prostitute.

It began to sacrifice its own children to the idol of “self.”

The USA forgot that it was God 

Who brought it from nothing to its current state.

If the Time Of The END is at hand,

The USA is the only nation 

That fits the description of the “little horn” of Daniel

And Babylon of the Book of Revelation.

It is also important that the Lord warns His people 

To come out of Babylon;

Come out of her religious, social, political and economic morass.

The Precision Of God;

Those Who Live Beyond The Great Tribulation

Daniel Chapter 12 Verse 12:

Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous and to be envied

Is he who waits expectantly and earnestly--

Who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation--

And comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!

[It is this precision of God who has events down to the day

And in other instances to the hour,

That makes me believe that “Time” is also a precise measurement;

That God has allowed a certain amount of “Time,” no more no less.

We know that the Millennium is a thousand years,

A time of rest from the period of sin that preceded it.

It is logical that six thousand years would precede it;

Just as God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh.

If this is the case, we are near the end of “Time.”

I also believe that it is this simple

Because God did not intend that it be a mystery for His people.

It is noteworthy that there are those

Who are blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous 

And to be envied,

Who wait expectantly and earnestly--

Who endure without wavering beyond the period of The Tribulation.

In my mind this describes the “Woman” of Revelation 12

Who is protected by God in the desert,

As they would be the only saints still living on the earth.]

Daniel Gives the Date of the Crucifixion of the Lord

It would be sixty two weeks of years, 434 years

From the end of the 70 years of captivity 

And the command to rebuild Jerusalem,

Prophesied by Jeremiah, until the crucifixion of the Messiah.

After this Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed (70 AD),

And wars and desolations would follow until the end of “Time.”

The Events Of The Last Seven Years Of “Time”

Daniel Chapter 9:27:

And he shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with the many

For one week [seven years];

And in the midst of the week

He shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease

[For the remaining three and one-half years];

And upon the wing or pinnacle of abominations

(Shall come) one who makes desolate;

Until the full determined end is poured out on the desolator.

[For the last seven years of “Time,”

Christ Jesus enters into a strong covenant with His Bride,

The “Woman” of Revelation 12.

For the first three and one-half years She ministers in His fullness.

Then because of the Rebellion/Apostasy, in God's Church

The Holy Spirit is removed, the Antichrist is revealed,

At the same time, the “Woman,” 

The Bride of Christ is taken into a desert place

And protected there for three and one-half years; 

The time of The Great Tribulation.

Then the Antichrist sets up his “image” 

In the church buildings of Christianity.

This is the abomination that causes desolation,

The Antichrist forbids the worship of God, 

And God begins The Great Tribulation,

Which culminates in The Battle of Armageddon,

And the end of the desolator, the Antichrist.

It is noteworthy that Hitler placed his swastika

In every Christian church building in Germany, defiling them all.

Hitler is a forerunner of the Antichrist;

The Antichrist takes it a step further, declaring himself to be god

And demanding that he and his “image” be worshiped.]

Finally, The Saints Inherit The Kingdom Of God

Finally the Ancient of Days, God Almighty, comes 

And renders His judgment

And His Kingdom is given to His saints,

The saints of The Most High God, and they possess it.

After The Battle of Armageddon

The saints of the Most High are given the Kingdom of God forever.

All remaining dominions shall serve 

And obey God and His Christ, sinlessly,

For the thousand years of the Millennium

After which all other dominions are done away with

And there is only one Kingdom remaining, the Kingdom of God.

From the Book of Revelation

We know that the saints include those who are killed for Christ

During The Great Tribulation,

Because after His second coming, 

They follow Christ Jesus day and night.

The Whole World Is A Prisoner Of Sin

The whole world is a prisoner of sin (Galatians 3:22)

The whole world is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19)

The whole world is destined for the Hell God made for the devil,

Except those who have repented of their sin

And made Christ Jesus their Savior and Lord;

Those who have laid down their life to take up His LIFE.

This reality has been true from the beginning of “Time,”

From the “fall” of Adam and Eve, until today;

God limited the “Time” for sin to exist to six thousand years.

God allowed six thousand years for the redemption of those

Who would respond to Him and His Christ,

And on the seventh day, the Millennium, He would rest from His work;

“Time” and sin would come to an end.

At the end of the “Rest,” the Millennium, 

God will judge the living and the dead.

Those who's names are found in The Lamb's Book Of LIFE

Will go to Heaven for all eternity.

Those who are not will go to the devil's Hell.
