Abomination of desolation Go Back

Definition: Installation of a sacrilegious person or item(s) into a place considered sacred and holy, signifying the beginning of the Great tribulation and the desolation it will incur. Antichrist, following in the footsteps of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, demands everyone to worship him as God, on pain of death.

Dan.11.31 And forces shall prevail, and they shall desecrate the fortified sanctuary, and shall abolish the daily offering, and set up the horrible abomination.
Dan.12.11 And from the time that the daily offering shall be abolished, and the horrible abomination set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Mat.24.15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand)
Mat.24.16 then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
Mat.24.17 he that is on the house-top, let him not go down to take the things out of his house;
Mat.24.18 and he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.
Mat.24.19 But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days!
Mat.24.20 And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath.
Mat.24.21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no nor shall be.



After Armageddon Go Back

From Revelation of Esdras (Ezra) (excerpt from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol.8, p.573) (external site)
"Knowest thou, Esdras, the names of the angels at the end of the world? Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Gabuthelon, Aker, Arphugitonos, Beburos, Zebuleon."
Isa.25.7 And he will destroy on this mountain The veil that veils all peoples, And the covering that covers all nations.
Isa.43.16 Thus says Jehovah— who provides a way in the Sea, a path through the mighty waters,
Isa.43.17 Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and power; They lie down together, they cannot rise; They are quenched, they are gone out like a wick.

Antichrist Go Back

The name says it all... Antichrist, against all that is good or kind or helpful to anyone other than himself. He embodies negative thought patterns and sets himself as a fine example of "how to live well". He espouses the false belief he is a powerful creator, equal to or greater than God himself (see Sovereign Majesty), a complete folly, since Antichrist (and all humans) lack access to our soul memory, without which we are prevented access to vast knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Why does this matter? Without Truth, Understanding and Wisdom, Antichrist (and all of us) cannot possibly be equal to or greater than God, and we cannot hope to climb the ladder of spiritual advancement.

Dan.7.24 And the ten horns — out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall differ from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
Dan.7.25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall afflict the saints of the Most High: and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
Dan.11.21 And in his place shall arise a contemptible person, upon whom they had not conferred royal honour: but he shall come in unawares, and shall take the kingdom by flatteries.

Mat.24.5 For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and will lead many astray.
Rev.13.5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and authority was given him to work forty-two months.

Rev.13.14 And he he leads astray those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs which it was gven him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which has the stroke of the sword, and lived.
Rev.13.15 And it was given him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as worship not the image of the beast to be killed.

Isa.10.14 And my hand has seized as a nest The riches of the peoples; And as one gathers eggs that are forsaken, Have I gathered all the earth: And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the mouth or chirped.
Isa.14.18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
Isa.14.19 But thou art cast forth far from thy grave like an abominable branch,
Isa.14.20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, Because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; The seed of evil-doers will not be named forever.
Isa.14.25 To break in pieces the Assyrian in my land, And upon my mountains to tread him under foot. Then shall his yoke be removed, And his burden be moved from their shoulder.

2.Thes.2.9 [him] whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders,
2.Thes.2.10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness for the perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2.Thes.2.11 And for this cause God sends them a working of delusion, in order that they may believe the lie;

Knowest thou not that whensoever any one dies, his deeds run before him, whether they are good or evil? And when it heard this, it was silent. And I heard the Judge saying: Let the angel come, having in his hands the record of thy sins. And the Judge says to the angel: I say to thee the angel. Disclose all. Say what he has done five years before his death. ...'



Days of Judgment Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)

A note about reckoning the days and hours. First day could be either Sunday (Judaism) or Monday (Christian religions). First hour could be either around sundown (Judaism) or around sunup (Christianity).



On the first day of the judgement will be a great marvel. At the third hour of the day shall be a great and mighty voice in the firmament of the heaven, and a great cloud of blood coming down out of the north, and great thunderings and mighty lightnings shall follow that cloud, and there shall be a rain of blood upon all the earth. These are the signs of the first day.
Go Back


And on the second day there shall be a great voice in the firmament of the heaven, and the earth shall be moved out of its place: and the gates of heaven shall be opened in the firmament of heaven toward the east, and a great power shall be sent (belched) forth by the gates of heaven and shall cover all the heaven even until evening (al. and there shall be fears and tremblings in the world). These are the signs of the second day.
Go Back


And on the third day, about the second hour, shall be a voice in heaven, and the abysses of the earth shall utter their voice from the four corners of the world. The first heaven shall be rolled up like a book and shall straightway vanish. And because of the smoke and stench of the brimstone of the abyss the days shall be darkened unto the tenth hour. Then shall all men say: I think that the end draweth near, that we shall perish. These are the signs of the third day.
Go Back


And on the fourth day at the first hour, the earth of the east shall speak, the abyss shall roar: then shall all the earth be moved by the strength of an earthquake. In that day shall all the idols of the heathen fall, and all the buildings of the earth. These are the signs of the fourth day.
Go Back


And on the fifth day, at the sixth hour, there shall be great thunderings suddenly in the heaven, and the powers of light and the wheel of the sun shall be caught away, and there shall be great darkness over the world until evening, and the stars shall be turned away from their ministry. In that day all nations shall hate the world and despise the life of this world. These are the signs of the fifth day.
Go Back


And on the sixth day there shall be signs in heaven. At the fourth hour the firmament of heaven shall be cloven from the east unto the west. And the angels of the heavens shall be looking forth upon the earth the opening of the heavens. And all men shall see above the earth the host of the angels looking forth out of heaven. Then shall all men flee.

Then shall they behold me coming from above in the light of my Father with the power and honour of the holy angels. Then at my coming shall the fence of fire of paradise be done away -because paradise is girt round about with fire. And this shall be that perpetual fire that shall consume the earth and all the elements of the world.

Then shall the spirits and souls of all men come forth from paradise and shall come upon all the earth: and every one of them shall go unto his own body, where it is laid up, and every one of them shall say: Here lieth my body. And when the great voice of those spirits shall be heard, then shall there be a great earthquake over all the world, and by the might thereof the mountains shall be cloven from above and the rocks from beneath. Then shall every spirit return into his own vessel and the bodies of the saints which have fallen asleep shall arise.

Then shall their bodies be changed into the image and likeness and the honour of the holy angels, and into the power of the image of mine holy Father. Then shall they be clothed with the vesture of life eternal, out of the cloud of light which hath never been seen in this world; for that cloud cometh down out of the highest realm of the heaven from the power of my Father. And that cloud shall compass about with the beauty thereof all the spirits that have believed in me.

Then shall they be clothed, and shall be borne by the hand of the holy angels like as I have told you aforetime. Then also shall they be lifted up into the air upon a cloud of light, and shall go with me rejoicing unto heaven, and then shall they continue in the light and honour of my Father. Then shall there be unto them great gladness with my Father and before the holy angels These are the signs of the sixth day.
Go Back


And on the seventh day at the eighth hour there shall be voices in the four corners of the heaven. And all the air shall be shaken, and filled with holy angels, and they shall make war among them all the day long. And in that day shall mine elect be sought out by the holy angels from the destruction of the world. Then shall all men see that the hour of their destruction draweth near. These are the signs of the seventh day.
Go Back


And when the seven days are passed by, on the eighth day at the sixth hour there shall be a sweet and tender voice in heaven from the east. Then shall that angel be revealed which hath power over the holy angels: and all the angels shall go forth with him, sitting upon chariots of the clouds of mine holy Father (so) rejoicing and running upon the air beneath the heaven to deliver the elect that have believed in me. And they shall rejoice that the destruction of this world hath come.
Go Back
The words of the Saviour unto Thomas are ended, concerning the end of this world.

No day given but compare with Day 1 above
Rev.8.7 And the first sounded; and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast into the earth; and the third part of the earth; was burnt up, and the third part of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

No day given but compare with Day 2 above
Joel.2.1 Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in my holy mountain; Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: For the day of Jehovah comes, for it is near;
Joel.2.2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like dawn scattered on the mountains; A people many and powerful; Its like has never been. And shall not again be after them. Even to the years of many generations.

No day given but compare with Day 5 above
Joel.2.30 And I will place signs in heaven and on earth, Blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel.2.31 The sun will be turned to darkness, And the moon to blood, Before the coming of the great and terrible day of Jehovah.
Rev.6.12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
Rev.6.13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree casts its unripe figs, when shaken by a great wind;
Rev.6.14 and the heaven parted asunder as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island were removed out of their places.
Rev.6.15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the chief captains, and the rich men, and the strong men, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev.6.16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;
Rev.6.17 because the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

No day given but compare with Day 6 above
2.Pet.3.10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will be dissolved with burning heat, and the earth and the works therein will be burned up.
2.Pet.3.11 Seeing that all these things are thus dissolving, what manner of men ought we to be, in all holy conduct and godliness?
2.Pet.3.12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with burning heat.



Death Go Back

Rev.6.8 And I saw, and beheld a pale horse; and he who sat on him. his name was Death, and the underworld followed with him. And authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Rev.9.6 nd in those days men will seek death, and shall by no means find it; and they will desire to die, and death flees from them.



Disease Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
Apoc.Thom.Day 5 ... There will be in all the earth famine and tremendous disease and sicknesses of vast proportions.



Divine Judgment = Divine Justice Go Back

These penalties are among several listed under "Punishment", found in Dictionary of the Bible by John D. Davis, Ph.D., D.D. (external site)
Punishment... The penalty due for sin inflicted for the satisfaction of justice.

• A false witness incurs the penalty of the crime for which the accused was on trial.
  
• State responsible: The indignation which men feel toward the offender himself, when they witness a flagrant act of wrongdoing, such as murder, oppression, or cruelty, and the demand which they instinctively make for his punishment show that they discern guilt in the sinner, and that they do not think in the first instance of the need of deterring others from the commission of like crimes. The wrongdoer is punished because he deserves to be. So, under the Mosaic law, the state must execute justice and punish the offender, or be held guilty of participating in and condoning the crime.
  
  

Isa.10.1 Woe to those who set up unrighteous decrees, And to the scribes who write oppression:
Isa.10.2 To turn aside the needy from judgment And to take away the right of the poor of my people, That widows may be their spoil, And that they may make orphans their plunder!

No day given but compare with this event: Judgment Seat of Christ
From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H.
Apoc.Bar.L. And He answered and said unto me: "Hear, Baruch, this word, and write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn.
Apoc.Bar.L.2. For the earth will then assuredly restore the dead, which it now receives, in order to preserve them, making no change in their form, but as it has received, so will it restore them, and as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them.
Apoc.Bar.L.3. For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that those who had departed have returned (again).
Apoc.Bar.L.4. And it will come to pass, when they have severally recognised those whom they now know, then judgment will grow strong, and those things which before were spoken of will come.
Apoc.Bar.LI. "And it will come to pass, when that appointed day has gone by, that then shall the aspect of those who are condemned be afterwards changed, and the glory of those who are justified.
Apoc.Bar.LI.2. For the aspect of those who now act wickedly will become worse than is that of such as suffer torment.
Apoc.Bar.LI.3. Also (as for) the glory of those who have now been justified in My law, who have had understanding in their life, and who have planted in their heart the root of wisdom, then their splendour will be glorified in changes, and the form of their face will be turned into the light of their beauty, that they may be able to acquire and receive the world which does not die, which is then promised to them.

From The Apocalypse of Elijah (external site)
Apoc.Elijah.V 7. And on that day the earth will be disturbed, and the sun will darken, and peace will be removed from the earth.
8. The birds will fall on the earth, dead.
9. The earth will be dry. The waters of the sea will dry up.
10. The sinners will groan upon the earth saying, "What have you done to us, O son of lawlessness, saying I am the Christ, when you are the devil?
11. You are unable to save yourself so that you might save us. You produced signs in our presence until you alienated us from the Christ who created us. Woe to us because we listened to you.
12. Lo now we will die in a famine. Where indeed is now the trace of a righteous one and we will worship him, or where indeed is the one who will teach us and we will appeal to him.
Apoc.Elijah.V 30. On that day, YHWH will judge the heaven and the earth. He will judge those who transgressed in heaven, and those who did so on earth.
31. He will judge the shepherds of the people. He will ask about the flock of sheep, and they will be given to Him, without any deadly guile existing in them.
32. After these things, Elijah and Enoch will come down. They will lay down the flesh of the world, and they will receive their spiritual flesh. They will pursue the son of lawlessness and kill him since he is not able to speak.
33. On that day, he will dissolve in their presence like ice which was dissolved by a fire. He will perish like a serpent which has no breath in it.
34. They will say to him, "Your time has passed by for you. Now therefore you want those who believe you will perish."
35. They will be cast into the bottom of the abyss and it will be closed for them.
Isa.28.17 I will make justice the measure, righteousness the weight; a hail shall sweep away your false refuge and waters flood the hiding place.



Dragons Go Back


Dragon 1, cast out of heaven, called the Devil and Satan
Rev.12.3 And another sign was seen in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.
Rev.12.7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon. And the dragon warred, and his angels.
Rev.12.8 and they prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in heaven.

Dragons 2, out of the earth, spake as a dragon
Rev.13.11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
Rev.13.12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his sight, and causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death stroke was healed.
Rev.13.13 And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven on the earth, in the sight of men;
Rev.13.14 and he leads astray those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which has the stroke of the sword, and lived.
Rev.13.15 And it was given him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as worship not the image of the beast to be killed.
Rev.13.16 And he causes all the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, to have given them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
Rev.13.17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell, but he that has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev.13.18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.



Droughts Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Elijah (external site)
Apoc.Elijah.V 9. The earth will be dry. The waters of the sea will dry up.



Duration of the tribulation Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
Apoc.Bar.XXVI. And I answered and said: "Will that tribulation which is to be continue a long time, and will that necessity embrace many years ?"
Apoc.Bar.XXVII And He answered and said unto me: " Into twelve parts is that time divided, and each one of them is reserved for that which is appointed for it.
Apoc.Bar.XXVIII.2. For the measure and reckoning of that time are two parts weeks of seven weeks.
Mat.24.22 Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
Rev.11.2 And the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; because it was given to the Gentiles, and they will tread down the holy city forty-two months.
Rev.11.3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 12.6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they may nourish her there a thousand two Hundred and sixty days.

Earth and/or heaven will move Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
Apoc.Thom. The heaven will be moved and the stars will fall upon the earth. ... and the earth will be moved out of its place



Earthquakes Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
Apoc.Bar.XXVII.7. And in the sixth part earthquakes and terrors.
Luke.21.11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be great portents and signs from heaven.
Rev.11.13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and in the earthquake were killed of men seven thousand persons; and the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev.16.18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, so great.



Eternal Kingdom Go Back

While nothing is truly eternal except The All, in this context, I have learned "eternal kingdom" means the beginning of a new 144,000 year cycle of twelve 12-thousand-year developmental cycles of souls incarnating on Planet Earth. Given Planet Earth is a place of learning, a 'finishing school' for souls if you will, such long sessions only make sense. We are slow to adapt to new information.

R.D.Johnston in his book Numbers in the Bible (external site) says this about the Numeral Twelve, "Twelve is the numeral of manifest sovereignty. It speaks of the administration of Divine government on the earth. Because it is Divine government it is perfect government. Twelve, therefore, is the symbol of governmental perfection, just as three is of Divine perfection, seven of spiritual perfection, and ten perfection of order, or ordinal perfection."

As this 12th and final session of the current cycle of Earth school draws to its tumultuous close, may we find comfort in knowing humanity's future is not in humanity's hands.



False prophet Go Back

Rev.16.13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs*;
Rev.19.20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, with which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image. The two were cast alive into the lake of fire, that burns with brimstone.
Rev.20.10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

* The spiritual meaning of 'frogs' in this case describes those who are devoted wholly, completely and entirely to self-aggrandizement, self-exaltation and self-promotion, and lacking completely in self-awareness and any desire to self-reflect or self-examine.



Famine Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
Apoc.Thom. Famine and death by the sword will follow from Canaan to Rome. Then all the springs of water and all the wells will dry up (boil over) and be turned into dust and blood.
Apoc.Thom. ... There will be in all the earth famine and tremendous disease and sicknesses of vast proportions.
Jer,24.10 And I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave them and their fathers.
Rev.6.5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold a black horse, and he who sat on him had a balance in his hand.
Rev.6.6 And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denary, and three quarts of barley for a denary; and, The oil and the wine hurt thou not.

Spiritual famine
Beyond physical famine and starvation, another consideration must be made. Spiritual famine is among the chief contributing factors of the worsening decline in the state of humanity. Spiritual famine results from a lack of truth being provided by not only mainstream media, but leaders within every level of government and even - yes, even - religious organizations. Fake media, conspiracy theories, and out and out lying are only part of the issue though. Laziness, apathy (I don't care) and ignorance (I don't know) on the part of citizens, together provide fertile ground for dictatorships, and even fascism, to spread. Greed, hatred, distrust, fear, hopelessness, all these rise almost in exact response to more lies, more cheating, more criminals not being held to account. Despair is the final stage of spiritual famine, and has often been the catalyst for change in society. This time though, no amount of despair will empower people. This time, intervention is needed, and intervention there shall be.

Amos.8.11 Behold, days are coming, it is the oracle of the Lord Jehovah, When I will send a famine in the land. Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of Jehovah.
Amos.8.12 And they will wander from sea to sea, And from the north even to the east; they will run to and fro To seek the word of Jehovah, and they will not find it.*
* This is not done out of spite or vengeance, but in compliance with the free will choice of those who, quite simply, are unable or unwilling to seek within themselves.



Fire, smoke, brimstone Go Back

Rev.9.17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of hyacinth, and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions, and out of their mouths go forth fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
* Note: It is possible these colours represent a nation. Many nations' flags bear these particular colours, i.e., red, blue and yellow, such as: Andorra, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Moldova, Mongolia, Romania, Venezuela.



Flooding Go Back

Ezek.13.11 Say to them that whitewash it over, that it shall fall; And a storm-wind shall break it down.
Ezek.13.13 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah; I will even break it with a stormwind in my fury; And there shall be an overflowing rain in mine anger, And great hailstones in fury to consume it.



Four horsemen Go Back

Rev.6.2And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he who sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
Rev.6.3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
Rev.6.4 And there came forth another horse, a red horse, and to him who sat thereon it was given to take away peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
Rev.6.5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold a black horse, and he who sat on him had a balance in his hand.
Rev.6.6 And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denary, and three quarts of barley for a denary; and, The oil and the wine hurt thou not.
Rev.6.7 And when he opened the fourth seal. I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.
Rev.6.8 And I saw, and beheld a pale horse; and he who sat on him. his name was Death, and the underworld followed with him. And authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.



Great peacemaker Go Back

Dan.8.25 And through his cunning he shall cause fraud to prosper in his hand; and he shall be great in his own heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without [man's] hand.
Dan.9.27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and for the half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations [shall come] a desolator; and even to the completion of the sentence [of judgment], shall [wrath] be poured out upon the desolator.



Great tribulation Go Back

Great White Throne Judgment Go Back

This is the judgment occurring after the thousand-year reign of righteousness.

Excerpted from All Books of Enoch (external site)
60.6 And when the Day, and the Power, and the Punishment, and the Judgment come that the Lord of Spirits has prepared for those who worship the Righteous Judgment, and for those who deny the Righteous Judgment, and for those who take His name in vain - and that Day has been prepared. For the chosen a covenant, but for the sinners a visitation.”
61.8 And the Lord of Spirits set the Chosen One on the throne of his glory, and he will judge all the works of the Holy ones in Heaven above, and in the Balance he will weigh their deeds.
62.9 And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry ground, will fall down before him, on their faces, and worship; and they will set their hopes on that Son of Man, and will entreat him, and will petition for mercy from him.
62.10 But the Lord of Spirits will then so press them that they will hasten to go out from before Him, and their faces will be filled with shame, and the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.
62.11 And the Angels of Punishment will take them so that they may repay them for the wrong that they did to His children and to His chosen ones.

Rev.20.11 And I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
Rev.20.12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life; and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev.20.13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it; and death and the underworld give up the dead who were in them; and they were judged every one according to their works.
Rev.20.14 And death and the underworld were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev.20.15 And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

What these souls do in their next level of learning is in their hands. It is their choice whether to remain turned away from love, light and Truth. As they choose, so shall they experience. Know this: They are, even after all this, never left alone. They are but a thought away from communication with Source. This is the way of Unconditional Love.



Greed and unjust gain Go Back

Amos.2.6 "Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, Yea, for four, I will not revoke it: Because they have sold a righteous man for money, And a needy, man for a pair of shoes:
Amos.2.7 Who trample to the dust of the earth the head of the poor, And pervert the way of the innocent:
Amos.2.8 And a man and his judge deal according to agreement, to profane my holy name: And they lay themselves down beside every altar Upon garments taken in pledge; And in the house of their God They drink the wine of such as have been fined.
Amos.2.9 And yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite from before them, Whose height was like that of cedars And he was strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Mic.2.1 Woe to those who devise mischief And work out evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they put it into execution, Because it is in the power of their hand.
Mic.2.2 And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: And they oppress a man and his house, Even a man and his heritage.



Hail Go Back

Ezek.13.11 Say to them that whitewash it over, that it shall fall; And a storm-wind shall break it down.
Ezek.13.13 Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah; I will break it with a stormwind in my fury; And there shall be an overflowing rain in mine anger, And great hailstones in fury to consume it.
Ezek.38.22 And I will contend against him with pestilence and with blood; And I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples with him, An overflowing shower and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Isa.28.17 I will make justice the measure, righteousness the weight; a hail shall sweep away your false refuge and waters flood the hiding place.
Rev.8.7 And the first sounded; and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast into the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Rev.16.21 And great hail, as of a talent's weight, comes down out of heaven on men; and men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail; because its plague is exceedingly great.



Harlot Go Back

Rev.17.1 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and spoke with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, that sits on many waters;
Rev.17.2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
Rev.19.1 After these things, I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! the salvation, and the glory, and the power, are our God's;
Rev.19.2 because true and righteous are his judgments; because he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Rev.19.3 And a second time they said, Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up forever and ever.



How many will die in the Tribulation? Go Back

Bible prophecies range from one third to one half of humanity. Since Earth's population surpassed 8 billion over two years ago, that's a lot of deaths. Interesting coincidence to note here: On Nov. 15, 2022, Earth's population reached 8 billion, and Donald Trump announced his campaign for the US presidency

Rev.6.7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.
Rev.6.8 And I saw, and beheld a pale horse; and he who sat on him. his name was Death, and the underworld followed with him. And authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
One fourth of 8,244,237,693 (earth population as of Sept. 7, 2025) means 2,061,059,423 deaths leaving 6,183,178,270 survivors.
Rev.9.15 And the four angels were released, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might kill the third part of men.
One third of 6,183,178,270 means 2,040,448,829 deaths, leaving 4,142,729,441 survivors.
Rev.9.18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which went forth out of their mouths.
One third of the remaining 4,142,729,441 means 1,367,100,715 more deaths, for a total of 5,468,608,967 human deaths, not including countless millions of land, sea and air creatures, leaving 8,244,237,693 - 5,468,608,967 = 2,775,628,726 survivors (approximately one-third).
Zech.13.8 And in all the land, it is the oracle of Jehovah, two-thirds will be cut off in it and die; but a third will be left in it.
Zech.13.9 And I will bring the third into the fire, and will smelt them as silver is smelted, and I will try them as gold is tried: and they will call on my name, and I will hear them: and I will say, It is my people; and they will say, Jehovah my God!
One third of the remaining 2,775,628,726 means there will be 915,957,479 survivors.
In his book, Numbers in the Bible, RD Johnston writes, "In One day, the old queen leaves for a new hive, and is accompanied by two-thirds of the bees, the remaining one-third continuing the work of the old hive." Just the same ratio as that from Zechariah for deaths during the Tribulation.



Israel wars Go Back

Isa.14.29 Rejoice not, O Philistia all together, That the rod which smote thee is broken: For out of the serpent's root will come forth a basilisk, And its fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
Isa.14.30 And the firstborn of the poor will feed, And the needy will lie down in safety: I will kill thy root with famine, And thy remnant I will slay.
Isa.14.31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; Thou art melted away, O Philistia, all together; For there comes a smoke out of the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.




Judgment Against Gog Go Back

Ezek.38.18 And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah, that my fury shall appear in my face.
Ezek.38.19 For in my jealousy and in my fiery wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Ezek.38.20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, And all creeping things which creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth Shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, And the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground..
Ezek.38.21 And I will call for a sword against him in all my mountains, Says the Lord Jehovah: Every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Ezek.38.22 And I will contend against him with pestilence and with blood; And I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples with him, An overflowing shower and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Ezek.38.23 And I will magnify myself, and vindicate myself, And I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; And they shall know that I am Jehovah.



Judgment Seat of Christ Go Back

Two resurrections are prophesied to take place during the Great Tribulation. The first occurs between the first and second parts of the Judgment Seat of Christ. This two-part event occurs after The Rapture. Both parts will be observed by all present.

First part
The VF of those who were raptured will be assessed. If merited, they will be assigned to their next phase of spiritual development, to take place in Level 4 or higher of the VF scale. They will attend the judgment to occur in the Second Part.

2.Cor.5.10 For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to the things which he practised, whether good or evil.
Rev.11.18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
Rom.14.10 But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Or thou also, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

Second part
Those who aligned with, followed, supported or enabled the Antichrist will observe the judgment of those raptured. Then their VF will be assessed and they will be assigned to their next phase of spiritual development, to take place in Level 3 or lower, as merited.



Judgment of the Sheep and Goats Go Back

See Days of Judgment, Day 6

Two resurrections are prophesied to take place during the Great Tribulation. The first occurs between the first and second parts of the Judgment Seat of Christ; the second occurs here, before the judgment of:
"those who are dead from Adam even to this day, and who dwell in Hades from the beginning of the world, and who die at the last ages". See humans arise
Mat.25.31 When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he sit on the throne of his glory.
Mat.25.32 Before him will be gathered all the nations; and he will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Mat.25.33 The sheep he will set on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat.25.34 Then will the king say to those on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Mat.25.35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took me in;
Mat.25.36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me.
Mat.25.37 Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry and fed thee, or thirsty and gave thee drink?
Mat.25.38 When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee?
Mat.25.39 When saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
Mat.25.40 And the King will answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, in so far as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it to me.
Mat.25.41 Then will he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels;
Mat.25.42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye did not give me drink;
Mat.25.43 I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; sick, and in prison and ye did not visit me.
Mat.25.44 Then will they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
Mat.25.45 Then will he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, In so far as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Mat.25.46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Rev.21.8 But for the fearful and unbelieving, and denied with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part shall be in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.



Judgments Go Back

Revelation of Saint John the Theologian (excerpt from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol.8, p.582) (external site)
And at the voice of the bird every plant shall arise; that is, at the voice of the archangel all the human race shall arise. And again I said: Lord, those who are dead from Adam even to this day, and who dwell in Hades from the beginning of the world, and who die at the last ages, what like shall they arise? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. All the human race shall arise thirty years old.

And again I said: Lord, they die male and female, and some old, and some young, and some infants. In the resurrection what like shall they arise? And I heard a voice saying to me: Hear, righteous John. Just as the bees are, and differ not one from another, but are all of one appearance and one size, so also shall every man be in the resurrection. There is neither fair, nor ruddy, nor black, neither Ethiopian nor different countenances; but they shall all arise of one appearance and one stature. All the human race shall arise without bodies, as I told you that in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God.

The Latter Days Go Back

We are living in the Latter Days, a period of time during which humanity and the planet will experience tremendous changes. Many events have been prophesied and, while we can guess at their sequence (see Event Timeline), no one really knows it except Sovereign Majesty. Rest assured though, they will happen. They have happened, they are happening, and they will continue to happen, escalating in frequency, duration and severity.

Mat.24.7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Mat.24.32 And learn the parable from the fig-tree: When its branch is already become tender, and puts forth leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
Mat.24.33 So also ye, when ye see all these things, know that he is near, at the doors.
Mat.24.34 Verily I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things come to pass.
Mat.24.35 Heaven and earth will pass away; but my words will not pass away.
2.Tim.3.1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times will come.

See:
Corruption
Cruelty
Death
Disease
Droughts
Earthquakes
Famine
Flooding
Greed
Lawlessness
Lying
Perversion
Pestilences
Wars



Lawlessness Go Back

The term 'lawlessness' in relation to the Latter Days includes behaviours such as refusal to follow established state or religious laws and open defiance to enforcement of such, leading to increased crime and violence, and to increased greed, fear and distrust along with erosion of faith and trust, kindness and consideration.

2.Thes.2.3 Let no one deceive you in any way; because [that day will not come], unless there come first the falling away, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2.Thes.2.4 he that opposes himself against and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, exhibiting himself as God.
2.Thes.2.5 Remember ye not that, when I was yet with you, I used to tell you these things?
2.Thes.2.6 And now ye know what restrains, in order that he may be revealed in his own season.
2.Thes.2.7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only until he who now restrains shall be out of the way.
2.Thes.2.8 And then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and will bring to naught by the manifestation of his coming;
2.Thes.2.9 [him] whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders,
2.Thes.2.10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness for the perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2.Thes.2.11 And for this cause God sends them a working of delusion, in order that they may believe the lie;
2.Thes.2.12 that they may all be judged, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

* Note: Our soul is energy. Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, our soul is indestructible.
See 2.Enoch.23.2* And Pravuil told me: All the things that I have told you, we have written. Sit and write all the souls of mankind, however many of them are born, and the places prepared for them to eternity; for all souls are prepared to eternity, before the formation of the world.
* Excerpt from The book of Enoch the prophet by Laurence, Richard, 1760-1838 (external site)



Lying and dishonesty Go Back

There's a name for the spirit of Deception. Check out this Wikipedia article, 'Prelest' (external site)

A spiritual foundation of Truth enables us to tell the difference between fact and fiction. Without that foundation, we are unable to see beyond the drape of doubt, distrust and outright intentional dishonesty. We become unable and unwilling to use or understand logic and reason. Anything is possible in our imagination, but given the physical laws of the universe, not all things are possible in the physical world in which we live. Coming to peace with this fact enables us to be awake and alert to the bad intentions of others, and to embrace honesty, logic, reason and plain good sense.

2.Thes.2.9 [him] whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders,
2.Tim.3.13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.



Lying to others
Mat.24.24 For there will arise false Christs, and false prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so as, if possible, to lead astray even the elect.
2.Pet.2.1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who will stealthily bring in heresies of perdition, even denying as Master him who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift perdition.
2.Pet.2.2 And many will follow their lasciviousness; through whom the way of the truth will be evil spoken of.
2.Pet.2.3 And in covetousness will they with feigned words make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their perdition slumbers not.
Rev.21.8 But for the fearful and unbelieving, and denied with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part shall be in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
Lying to self


Lying to self
Gal.6.3 For if any one thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Isa.28.15 Because ye have said, We have entered into a covenant with death, And with Sheol are we at agreement; When the overflowing scourge passes through, it will not reach us; For we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hidden ourselves:
James.1.22 But become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
2.Tim.3.8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
2.Tim.3.9 But they will proceed no further; for their folly will be fully manifest to all, as theirs also became.



Mark of the beast Go Back

See Numbers in the Bible, by R.D.Johnston, The Numeral Six (external site)

1.Kings.10.14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold;
Rev.13.16 And he causes all the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, to have given them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead;
Rev.13.17 and that no one should be able to buy or sell, but he that has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev.13.18 Here is wisdom. He that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.



Marriage of the Lamb Go Back

This event refers to those who accept the invitation to join Jesus and his "angels" in The Rapture and whose VF has attained that needed to ascend to the next level of spiritual development.

Rev.19.7 Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has prepared herself.
Rev.19.8 And it was given her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, shining, pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.



Marriage Supper of the Lamb Go Back

This is a celebration held for those who joined Jesus and his "angels" in The Rapture. It occurs following the Judgment of the Sheep and Goats.

Rev.19.6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, has become king.
Rev.19.7 Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has prepared herself.
Rev.19.8 And it was given her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, shining, pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Rev.19.9 And he says to me, Write, Happy are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me. These are true words of God.



Millennial Kingdom, New World, New Jerusalem Go Back

What will it be like?
Isa.11.6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the kid; And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, With a little child leading them.
Isa.11.7 And the cow and the bear will feed; Together will their young ones lie down: And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
Isa.11.8 And the sucking child will play about the hole of the asp, And the weaned child will put his hand on the basilisk's den.
Isa.11.9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: For the earth will be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, Like the waters which cover the sea. See Isaiah Explained, Chapter 11 verse 8 and commentary (external site)
Isa.65.17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: And the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isa.65.18 But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: For behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
See Isaiah Explained, Chapter 65 verses 17-18 and commentary (external site)
Rev.11.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world is become our Lord's, and his Christ's; and he will reign forever and ever.
Rev.21.1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
Rev.21.2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev.21.3 And I heard a great voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. and God himself will be with them as their God.
Rev.21.4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death will be no more, nor will mourning, nor crying, nor pain be any more; because the first things have passed away.
Rev.21.5 And he who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write; because these words are trustworthy and true.
Rev.21.16 And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs*; the length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
* A biblical furlong measured approximately 600 feet or 201 meters.
12,000 furlongs x 600 feet = 7,200,000 feet
7,200,000 feet divided by 5,280 feet (or 1 mile) = 1,364 miles
12,000 furlongs x 201 meters = 2,412,000 meters or 2,412 km
Yes, you read that right. That is one big cube, no matter the measurement used. 1,364 miles or 2,412 km is roughly the distance between New York City and central Nebraska, close to North Platte. Try and imagine this cube hovering over the Earth.

Rev.21.17 And he measured its wall a hundred and forty-four cubits**, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
** A biblical cubit measured approximately 1.5 to 2 feet (using 1.75 in the example below) or about 45 centimeters.
1.75 feet x 144 cubits = 252 feet
45cm x 144 cubits = 6,480 cm (64.8 meters (using 65)
That is either one very tall or one very thick wall.
7,200,000 feet (because it's a cube) divided by 252 feet = 28,571 levels (walls stacked one atop the other).
7,200,000 feet converts to 2,194,560 meters divided by 65m = 33,762 levels (walls stacked one atop the other).

Peace and justice Go Back

Isa.11.1 And there will come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit:
Isa.11.2 And the spirit of Jehovah will rest upon him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and of fear of Jehovah:
Isa.11.3 And his delight will be in the fear of Jehovah: And he will not judge according to what his eyes have seen, Nor decide according to what his ears have heard;
Isa.11.4 But with righteousness will he judge the poor of the land; And decide with equity for the poor of the land; And he will smite the land with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips will he smite the oppressor.
Isa.11.5 And righteousness will be the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Isa.11.6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb And the leopard will lie down with the kid; And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, With a little child leading them.



Perversion Go Back

Besides perversion of a sexual nature, the judicial and spiritual aspects are also addressed in bible prophecy. Sexual perversion means desiring or having non-consensual, i.e., without meaningful, informed permission, sex of any form. Judicial perversion means lying in a court of law. Spiritual perversion means stubbornly resistant to doing what is expected, requested and/or required.

Romans.1.28 And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming;
Romans.1.29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans.1.30 slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans.1.31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful;
Romans.1.32 who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who practise such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also have pleasure in those who practise them.



Pestilences Go Back

Ezek.12.16 But I will save a few of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Ezek.14.21For thus says the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, The sword, and famine, and evil beasts and pestilence, To cut off from it man and beast?
Ezek.33.27 Thus shalt thou say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Jer,24.10 And I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave them and their fathers.
Luke.21.11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there will be great portents and signs from heaven.
Mat.24.7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.



The Rapture Go Back

Event occurring at a point in time before the end of the Days of Judgment. According to relatively recent (18th or 19th century) Christian teachings, Jesus will rapture believers, i.e., take them up with him, to save them from the worst days of punishment inflicted on Planet Earth and all its life forms by some of its human inhabitants. Some points about this concept.
(1) The number of believers is prophesied to be 144,000, out of 8+ billion people. Hopefully this is a symbolic rather than the actual number. After all, if it were merely about believing, the number would be in the hundreds of millions, and maybe even some billions. See How many will die in the tribulation?.
(2) It's not about 'believing'. It's about our thought patterns and the vibrational frequency (VF) emitted by them.
(3) People will not be taken up who decline the invitation to join Jesus and his host for to do so would violate the spiritual law of free will.
(4) Many may decline. Think of it this way... Sounds a simple enough choice if we count on 'Jesus' looking like interpretations of him as being white-skinned, bearded with long hair and wearing flowing white robes, emitting light and a halo, with visible holes in his hands and feet. Change any or all of those features though and so-called believers are presented with a potentially life-altering choice: Trust and go with whoever the entity is who appears, or hold off and wait for the 'correct' Jesus to appear, i.e., accept the invitation and live, or decline and flee in fear underground or to mountains or caves only to meet their demise in the coming conflagration.

At least one of Jesus' worldwide appearances occurs Day 6 of the Days of Judgment, at the Battle of Armageddon. See Second coming

1.Cor.15.50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
1.Cor.15.51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1.Cor.15.52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1.Cor.15.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1.Cor.15.54 And when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will come to pass the word that is written, Death has been swallowed up in victory.
Dan.12.1 And at that time shall Michael arise, the great prince who arises for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of affliction, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Dan.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 abhorrence.
Dan.12.3 And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
Days of Judgment, Day 7:
And on the seventh day at the eighth hour there shall be voices in the four corners of the heaven. And all the air shall be shaken, and filled with holy angels, and they shall make war among them all the day long. And in that day shall mine elect be sought out by the holy angels from the destruction of the world. Then shall all men see that the hour of their destruction draweth near. These are the signs of the seventh day.
Mark.13.13 And ye will be hated by all for my name's sake; but he that endures to the end is the one who will be saved.
Mat.24.13 But he that endures to the end is the one that shall be saved.
Mat.24.14 And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the inhabited earth, for a testimony to all the nations; and then will come the end.
1.Thes.4.13 But we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are sleeping, in order that ye sorrow not, as do the rest who have no hope.
1.Thes.4.14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those who fell asleep through Jesus will God bring with him.
1.Thes.4.15 For this we say to you, by the word of the Lord, that we the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, shall by no means precede those who fell asleep.
1.Thes.4.16 Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first.



Rejoicing after the tribulation Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
Apoc.Bar.XXX.2. And it will come to pass at that time that the treasuries will be opened in which is preserved the number of the souls of the righteous, and they will come forth, and a multitude of souls will be seen together in one assemblage of one thought, and the first will rejoice and the last will not be grieved.
From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
Apoc.Thom.Day.8 And when the seven days are passed by, on the eighth day at the sixth hour there will be a sweet and tender voice in heaven from the east. Then that angel will be revealed which has power over all the holy angels and all the angels will go out with him who is sitting upon a chariot made of the clouds of my holy Father and they will rejoice, running upon the air beneath the heaven to deliver the elect that have believed in me. And they will rejoice that the destruction of this world has come.
Isa.14.7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Isa.14.8 Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid low, no ravager is come up against us.
Rev.19.1 After these things, I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! the salvation, and the glory, and the power, are our God's;
Rev.19.2 because true and righteous are his judgments; because he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Rev.19.3 And a second time they said, Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up forever and ever.
Rev.19.6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! Because the Lord our God, the Almighty, has become king.
Rev.19.7 Let us rejoice and exult, and we will give to him the glory; because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has prepared herself.



Resurrection Go Back

Two resurrections are forecast for the End Times, both preceding the judgment of souls. First, after the Rapture and before the Judgment Seat of Christ; second, before the Great White Throne Judgment at the close of the Millennial Kingdom.

It is said the first will see the resurrection of 'the worthy' while the second will see the resurrection of 'the unworthy'. All well and fine, until we consider this: if we are born only once and die, then maybe, just maybe, we could be judged as being worthy or unworthy. But seriously, even the worst criminal in human history will have done something good for someone at some point in her or his life. Would not this excuse them from eternal damnation? If we add reincarnation into the mix, that is to say if we live multiple lives, it is literally impossible any soul in human form could be judged as being permanently worthy or unworthy. Further, if we consider people end up to be 'bad' due to having suffered traumatic loss or abuse in their life, or due to inheriting a genetic predisposition toward abhorrent behaviour, we begin to realize we are all capable of great good or great harm, given certain circumstances.

It is illogical and, dare I say, ridiculous, to presume souls - elements of the Universal Intelligence - created in unconditional love and given the incredible gift of free will - would be disposable or hated or condemned to permanent torture and/or isolation. We may choose to isolate ourselves from Source, but a single thought of ours reopens the door to the brilliant light of Truth and Love. This is the reason the soul who was Jesus visits so-called Hell from time to time... to seek any souls wishing to begin again their long climb upward to spiritual enlightenment and eventual return to Source. It is our choice, ours alone, whether to live in anger, fear, greed, hatred and resentment. Our choices determine what we will experience over the space of as many lifetimes as it takes us to learn our way back to Truth and Love. Anyone expecting to see 'bad' or 'evil' souls being chained and tossed into a burning lake of perpetual fire will be sorely disappointed when they find themselves in that very situation. How could this happen? This requires studying the concept of Free will.

All this to say it is the vibrational frequency of our thought patterns that will be measured during the judgment events scheduled to follow the resurrections of these End Times.

The first resurrection
1.Cor.15.21 For since through man came death, through man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Dan.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 abhorrence.
Dan.12.3 And the wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

Then shall the spirits and souls of all men come forth from paradise and shall come upon all the earth: and every one of them shall go unto his own body, where it is laid up, and every one of them shall say: Here lieth my body. And when the great voice of those spirits shall be heard, then shall there be a great earthquake over all the world, and by the might thereof the mountains shall be cloven from above and the rocks from beneath. Then shall every spirit return into his own vessel and the bodies of the saints which have fallen asleep shall arise.

Then shall their bodies be changed into the image and likeness and the honour of the holy angels, and into the power of the image of mine holy Father. Then shall they be clothed with the vesture of life eternal, out of the cloud of light which hath never been seen in this world; for that cloud cometh down out of the highest realm of the heaven from the power of my Father. And that cloud shall compass about with the beauty thereof all the spirits that have believed in me.

Then shall they be clothed, and shall be borne by the hand of the holy angels like as I have told you aforetime. Then also shall they be lifted up into the air upon a cloud of light, and shall go with me rejoicing unto heaven, and then shall they continue in the light and honour of my Father. Then shall there be unto them great gladness with my Father and before the holy angels These are the signs of the sixth day.
John.5.28 Wonder not at this; because an hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves will hear his voice,
John.5.29 and will come forth; they that did good, to the resurrection of life, and they that practised evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
Apoc.Bar.L. And He answered and said unto me: "Hear, Baruch, this word, and write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn.
Apoc.Bar.L.2. For the earth will then assuredly restore the dead, which it now receives, in order to preserve them, making no change in their form, but as it has received, so will it restore them, and as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them.
Apoc.Bar.L.3. For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that those who had departed have returned (again).
Rev.20.6 Happy and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
1.Thes.4.13 But we wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are sleeping, in order that ye sorrow not, as do the rest who have no hope.
1.Thes.4.14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those who fell asleep through Jesus will God bring with him.
1.Thes.4.15 For this we say to you, by the word of the Lord, that we the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, shall by no means precede those who fell asleep.
1.Thes.4.16 Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first.

The second resurrection
Rev.20.5 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished.



Satan's final rebellion Go Back

As the coming millennium of peace draws to a close, another Great Reckoning will occur. Those entities who served The All by revealing for humanity - in real time - the physical and spiritual consequences for embracing negative thought patterns and false beliefs will continue their voyage of learning and serving. That people want Satan and his followers to suffer for all eternity speaks more about our own negativity than Satan's. Wanting revenge, withholding forgiveness, holding onto hatred... such thought patterns lower our vibrational frequency - not anyone else's - our own. They hurt no one but ourselves. Having such hateful thoughts means "Satan" has won us over. It means we can end up in the exact same place as we wish for him.

Isa.14.12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O shining one, son of the dawn! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst lay low the nations!
Isa.14.13 And thou saidst in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; And I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north:
Isa.14.14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
Isa.14.15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit.
Rev.20.7 And when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be let loose out of his prison,
Rev.20.8 and will go out to lead astray the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev.20.9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.
Rev.20.10 And the devil who led them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.



Second coming of Christ Go Back

Who will see?

From Days of Judgment, Day 6:
And on the sixth day there shall be signs in heaven. At the fourth hour the firmament of heaven shall be cloven from the east unto the west. And the angels of the heavens shall be looking forth upon the earth the opening of the heavens. And all men shall see above the earth the host of the angels looking forth out of heaven. Then shall all men flee.
Then shall they behold me coming from above in the light of my Father with the power and honour of the holy angels. Then at my coming shall the fence of fire of paradise be done away -because paradise is girt round about with fire. And this shall be that perpetual fire that shall consume the earth and all the elements of the world.
Excerpt from Apocrypha: 2 Esdras Chapter 13) (external site)
2.Esdras.13.33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.
34 And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.
35 But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.
36 And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.
37 And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;
Mat.24.29 But straightway, after the affliction of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Mat.24.30 And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then will all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Mat.24.31 And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Rev.1.7 Behold, he comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail over him. Even so, Amen.
1.Thes.4.16 Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God;



Seven bowl judgments Go Back

Revelation 15 (external site)
Revelation 16 (external site)

Rev.15.1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels having seven plagues; which are the last, because in them is finished the wrath of God.
Rev.16.1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.
Rev.16.2 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and there came a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.
Rev.16.3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living being died, those that were in the sea.
Rev.16.4 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers, and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood.
Rev.16.5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art, and who wast, the holy One, because thou didst thus judge;
Rev.16.6 because they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy.
Rev.16.7 And I heard the altar saying, Even so, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Rev.16.8 And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun; and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.
Rev.16.9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.
Rev.16.10 And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Rev.16.11 and blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.
Rev.16.12 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings, who come from the rising of the sun, might be prepared.
Rev.16.13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the momh of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
Rev.16.14 for they are spirits of demons, working signs, which go forth upon the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty.
Rev.16.15 Behold, I come as a thief. Happy is he that watches, and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked and they see his shame.
Rev.16.16 And they gathered them into the place which is called in Hebrew, Har-Magedon.
Rev.16.17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev.16.18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, so great.
Rev.16.19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Rev.16.20 And every island fled away, and mountains were not found.
Rev.16.21 And comes great hail, down as out of of a heaven talent's on weight, men; and men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail; because its plague is exceedingly great.



Seventy-five day interregnum Go Back

Definition: Period of time between the end of the Great Tribulation and the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.

Dan.12.12 Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

The Interregnum, or 'Preparations for the Millennial Kingdom', begins the last day of the Great Tribulation (Day 8 of the Days of Judgment) and 1260 days after the Abomination of Desolation. It ends Day 1335, at which point the Millennial Kingdom begins.

Ten nations Go Back

Dan.7.24 And the ten horns — out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall differ from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
Dan.7.25 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall afflict the saints of the Most High: and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
Rev.17.12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who received no kingdom as yet, but receive authority as kings one hour, along with the beast.
From out of the Ten Nations (possibly individual nations or groups thereof) arises the Antichrist. Which are the nations? There are several possibilities:





Ten Weeks of Judgment Go Back

This set of prophecies comes from The book of Enoch the prophet, by Laurence, Richard, 1760-1838 (external site), specifically, "The First Book of Enoch (1 Enoch)", Chapters 91 through 94. To the attentive reader it becomes clear, as Joseph B. Lumpkin describes in his The Lost Books of the Bible: The Rejected Texts (external site), verses of some chapters are somewhat out of sequence. The verses below are ordered to reveal the all-encompassing information provided to Enoch by Sovereign Majesty and his archangel Pravuil (Keeper of the Records).

Pre-flood times (Enoch)
1.Enoch.93.3 And Enoch then began to speak from the books, and said. “I was born the seventh, in the first week, while justice and righteousness still lasted.
Flood times (Noah)
1.Enoch.93.4 And, after me, in the second week, great injustice will arise, and deceit will have sprung up. And in it there will be the First End, and in it, a man will be saved. And after it has ended, iniquity will grow, and He will make a law for the sinners.
Post-flood times (Abraham)
1.Enoch.93.5 And after this in the third week, at its end, a man will be chosen as the Plant of Righteous Judgment, and after him will come the Plant of Righteousness, forever.
Exodus times (Moses)
1.Enoch.93.6 And after this, in the fourth week, at its end, visions of the righteous and Holy will be seen, and a Law for All Generations, and an enclosure will be made for them.
First temple built (Solomon)
1.Enoch.93.7 And after this, in the fifth week, at its end, a House of Glory and Sovereignty will be built forever.
Second temple built (Jesus)
1.Enoch.93.8 And after this, in the sixth week, all those who live in it will be blinded. And the hearts of them all, lacking wisdom, will sink into impiety. And in it, a man will ascend, and at its end the House of Sovereignty will be burnt with fire. And in it the whole race of the chosen root will be scattered.
Current Era (CE)
1.Enoch.93.9 And after this, in the seventh week, an apostate generation will arise. And many will be its deeds - but all its deeds will be apostasy (Apostasy: Abandonment of one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause).
Judgment Seat of Christ
1.Enoch.93.10 (eighth week) And at its end, the Chosen Righteous, from the Eternal Plant of Righteousness, will be chosen, to whom will be given sevenfold teaching, concerning his whole creation.
Seventy-five day interregnum
1.Enoch.91.11 And after this the roots of iniquity will be cut off and the sword will destroy the sinners. The blasphemers will be cut off; in every place blasphemy will be destroyed by the sword.
Judgment of the Sheep and Goats
1.Enoch.91.12 And after this there will be another week; the eighth, that of righteousness, and a sword will be given to it so that the Righteous Judgment may be executed on those who do wrong, and the sinners will be handed over into the hands of the righteous.
Millennial Kingdom
1.Enoch.91.13 And, at its end, they will acquire Houses because of their righteousness, and a House will be built for the Great King in Glory, forever.
Satan's final rebellion
1.Enoch.91.14 And after this, in the ninth week, the Righteous Judgment will be revealed to the whole world. And all the deeds of the impious will vanish from the whole Earth. And the world will be written down for destruction and all men will look to the Path of Uprightness.
Great White Throne Judgment
1.Enoch.91.15 And, after this, in the tenth week, in the seventh part, there will be an Eternal Judgment that will be executed on the Watchers and the Great Eternal Heaven that will spring from the midst of the Angels.
1.Enoch.94.9 You have committed blasphemy, and iniquity, and are ready for the days of the outpouring of blood, and for the day of darkness, and for the day of the Great Judgment.
A fresh start!
1.Enoch.91.16 And the First Heaven will vanish and pass away and a New Heaven will appear, and all the Powers of Heaven will shine forever, with sevenfold light.
1.Enoch.91.17 And after this, there will be many weeks without number, forever, in goodness and in righteousness. And from then on sin will never again be mentioned.



Throne set in heaven Go Back

See Sovereign Majesty

Rev.4.1 After these things I saw, and, behold, a door set open in heaven, and that first voice, which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must take place after these.
Rev.4.2 Straightway I was in the Spirit; and, behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne;
Rev.4.3 and he who sat was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius; and there was a rainbow round the throne, in appearance like an emerald;



Timetable Go Back

From Apocrypha of Esdras (Ezra) (external site)
2 Esdras.14.10 For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.
11 For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
12 And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.

Question to ponder... Do these twelve parts align with the twelve parts described in the excerpt from Baruch under What will the Great Tribulation be like?

Part	Year
1	-10,000 BCE (Before Current Era)
2	-9,000
3	-8,000
4	-7,000
5	-6,000
6	-5,000
7	-4,000
8	-3,000
9	-2,000
10	-1,000 → -500 (first half)
10	-500 → 0 (second half) Ezra lived 480-440 BCE, so this conversation took place during the 2nd half of 10th part. Jesus was born at end of 2nd half of 10th part
11	0 to 1,000 CE (Current Era)
12	1,001 to 2,000 → We are here, in the twelfth part

Twenty-four elders Go Back

The identities of these elders are not given in the Bible. Here is a possibility presented in this excerpt from 2 Enoch All Books of Enoch (external site):
2.Enoch.4.1 They brought before my face the elders and rulers of the stellar orders, and showed me two hundred angels, who rule the stars and (their) services to the heavens, and fly with their wings and come round all those who sail. (See Divine Council of Worlds). Another possibility is they are 24 redeemed men, while another is they are the Twelve Patriarchs and the Twelve Disciples. Whoever they are though, they are seated on thrones before Sovereign Majesty.

Rev.4.4 and around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev.4.5 And out of the throne come forth lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
Rev.4.6 and before the throne as it seemed a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
Rev.4.7 And the first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth creature like an eagle flying.
Rev.4.8 And the four creatures having each of them six wings, around and within are full of eyes; and they cease not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
Rev.4.9 And when the living creatures shall give glory, and honor, and thanks, to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
Rev.4.10 the twenty-four elders will fall down before him who sits on the throne, and will worship him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev.4.11 Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power; because thou didst create all things, and be cause of thy will they were, and were created.
Rev.5.1 And I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written within and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
Rev.5.2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
Rev.5.3 And no one was able, in heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, or to look thereon.
Rev.5.4 And I was weeping much, be cause no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon.
Rev.5.5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, prevailed to open the book, and its seven seals.
Rev.11.16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell on their faces, and worshiped God,
Rev.11.17 saying, We give thanks to thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast; because thou hast taken thy great power and didst reign.



Two witnesses Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Elijah (external site)
Apoc.Elijah.IV 7. Then when Elijah and Enoch hear that the shameless one has revealed himself in the holy place, they will come down and fight with him saying,
8.Are you indeed not ashamed? When you attach yourself to the saints, because you are always estranged.
9. you have been hostile to those who belong to heaven. you have acted against those belonging to the earth.
10. You have been hostile to the thrones. you have acted against the angels. you are always a stranger.
11. you have fallen from heaven like the morning stars. you were changed, and your tribe became dark for you.
12. But you are not ashamed, when you stand firmly against God you are a devil.
Rev.11.3 And I will give [power] to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev.11.4 These are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands, which stand before the Lord of the earth.
Rev.11.5 And if any one wishes to hurt them, fire goes forth out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and if any one shall wish to hurt them he must in this manner be killed.
Rev.11.6 These have authority to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have authority over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they may wish.
Rev.11.7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.
Rev.11.8 And their bodies are on the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.
Rev.11.9 And some out of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, look on their bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their bodies to be put into a tomb.
Rev.11.10 And they who dwell on the earth rejoice overthem, and make merry; and they willsend gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Rev.11.11 And after the three days and a half, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell on those who beheld them.
Rev.11.12 And they heard a great voice out of heaven, saying to them, Come up hither. And they went up; into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
Rev.11.13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and in the earthquake were killed of men seven thousand persons; and the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Rev.11.14 The second woe is past; behold, the third woe comes quickly.



Voices / Sounds from heaven Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Elijah (external site)
Apoc.Elijah.V 3.The sound will move heaven and earth when they give praise and glorify.

From The Apocalypse of Thomas (external site)
And on the second day there will be a loud voice in the firmament of heaven
In the third day at about the second hour, there will be a voice in heaven, and the vast depths of the earth will sound their voices from the four corners of the earth.
And on the seventh day at the eighth hour there will be voices in the four comers of the heaven
... on the eighth day at the sixth hour there will be a sweet and tender voice in heaven from the east

Rev.12.10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before God day and night.
Rev.14.2 And I heard a voice out of heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and the voice which I heard was as that of harpers, harping with their harps.
Rev.16.16 And they gathered them into the place which is called in Hebrew, Har-Magedon.
Rev.16.17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Rev.16.18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, so great.



Wars and battles Go Back

As the latter days progress, we hear of battles, invasions, rebellions and outright wars. During the tribulation period, such events will escalate and worsen, until culminating in the Battle of Armageddon.

Mat.24.7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Rev.6.4 And there came forth another horse, a red horse, and to him who sat thereon it was given to take away peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

See:
Battle of Armageddon
Battle of Gog and Magog
Birds falling
Earth and heaven will move
Voices / Sounds from heaven
Weapons used

Isa.20.3 And Jehovah said, Just as my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years* for a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia (Cush)**,
Isa.20.4 so will the king of Assyria*** lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with bodies exposed, to the shame of Egypt.

*Three years = years for his followers to consider abandoning Antichrist in favour of Truth while Assyria punishes the punisher, but before the Battle of Gog and Magog
**Egypt and Cush = Antichrist's allies and territory
***Assyria = Antichrist's former ally

Isa.30.27 Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning in his anger, and in thick rising smoke: His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire:
Isa.30.28 And his breath is like an overflowing stream, which reaches even to the neck, To sift the nations in a sieve of destruction: And a bridle which causes to err [will be] in the jaws of the peoples.



Weapons or equipment used in the battles Go Back

See Fire, smoke, brimstone as weapons of war

Ezek.39.9 And they that are dwelling in the cities of Israel shall go out, And shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, the shields And the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, And they shall make fires of them seven years:

Note: In The Histories and Prophecies of Daniel, by George Henry Lang (external site), the author raises an interesting point, as to why these particular weapons were mentioned. My thought is this: surely the entity providing Ezekiel with these prophetic words would have known more advanced weaponry would be available in the latter days. Either this was an accidental oversight (unlikely), or it was intentional. If intentional, perhaps the entity knew there would be electro-magnetic disturbances due to natural causes, or one or more nations would set off Electro-magnetic pulse (external site) weapons making any equipment reliant on electronics or electricity obsolete, forcing a return to hand-to-hand combat.



What is the great tribulation? Go Back

Dan.12.1 And at that time shall Michael arise, the great prince who arises for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of affliction, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Within the Latter Days is a seven-year period of time consisting of two 3½ year periods (described in What will the great tribulation be like? below). These two periods are described in prophecy in at least four different ways:

(1) Baruch XXVII.1 declares "Into twelve parts is that time divided..." and XXVIII.2 declares "two parts weeks of seven weeks", therefore 12 parts over 7 years.
Seven years = 2520 days.
2520 days divided by 12 parts = 210 days per part.
Six parts in each 3½ year segment, each segment totaling 1260 days.
Conclusion: Some portion of this timeframe will continue for 420 days. See Phase 2 of Timeline of events with the Great Tribulation

(2) Rev.11.2 and Rev.13.5
Seven years, in two distinct parts, each lasting forty and two months.

(3) Rev.11.3
A thousand two hundred and threescore days (1260 days) equals 3½ years.

(4) Rev.12.14
"a time, and times, and half a time" equals 3½ years.

Why are the segments described thusly? Besides that the first segment is The Tribulation and the second is The Great Tribulation, do the different styles indicate the first and second halves of the tribulation are not concurrent, that they are separated by some (unstated) period of time? If so, could that period of time be four years?

January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021 - What if... this was Phase 1 of the tribulation?
January 20, 2021 to January 20, 2025 - What if... this gap (or interregnum) is the reason for the two phases being described differently?
January 20, 2025 to July 20, 2028 - What if... the Great Tribulation is going to occur during this 3½ year period?

Incidentally, 2025 marks 77 years since Israel became a nation. See Daniel's The Seventy Sevens.



What will the great tribulation be like? Go Back

Mat.24.21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no nor shall be.

From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
XXVII. And He answered and said unto me: "Into twelve parts is that time divided, and each one of them is reserved for that which is appointed for it.
2. In the first part there will be the beginning of commotions.
3. And in the second part (there will be) slayings of the great ones.
4. And in the third part (there will be) the fall of many by death.
5. And in the fourth part the sending of desolation.
6. And in the fifth part famine and the withholding of rain.
7. And in the sixth part earthquakes and terrors.
8. [Wanting.]*
9. And in the eighth part a multitude of portents and incursions of the Shedim.
10. And in the ninth part the fall of fire.
11. And in the tenth part rapine and much oppression.
12. And in the eleventh part wickedness and unchastity.
13. And in the twelfth part confusion from the mingling together of all those things aforesaid.
14. For these parts of that time are reserved, and will be mixed one with another and will minister one to another.
15. For some will of themselves be of service, and they will receive from others, and from themselves and others they will be perfected, so that those may not understand who are upon the earth in those days of this consummation of the times.

When will the great tribulation begin? Go Back

Mat.24.15 When therefore ye see the Abomination of Desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand)
Mat.24.16 then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains;
Mat.24.17 he that is on the house-top, let him not go down to take the things out of his house;
Mat.24.18 and he that is in the field, let him not turn back to take his garment.
Mat.24.19 But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days!
Mat.24.20 And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor on a sabbath.

Who will be affected by the great tribulation? Go Back

From The Apocalypse of Baruch, by Charles, R. H. (external site)
Apoc.Bar.XXVIII.7. Is it in one place or in one of the parts of the earth that those things are to come to pass, or will the whole earth experience (them)?"

The woman and the man-child Go Back

Rev.12.1 And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
Rev.12.2 and heavy with child, and she cries out, travailing in birth, and in pain to bring forth.

Behemoth Go Back
Represents the vast mass of humanity, some of whom will 'eat' Leviathan, i.e., rise up against the corrupt church and state systems, and some of whom will be eaten by it, i.e., allow their hatred, greed and grievance to excuse their desire for revenge, and above all, doing so of their own free will.



Blasphemy Go Back
Denying / disavowing God's existence yet blaming God for evil happenings when those happenings result from humanity's free will choices and actions resulting from our negative thoughts, attitudes and emotions.



Great spiritual reckoning Go Back
There is rising awareness of the idea we are living in the End Times, and humans being on the brink of a leap in evolution. Many believe this leap will magically happen after the long-prophesied final battles of World War III. Many believe new technologies will transform us into 'super humans', or magical powers will suddenly awaken in us. It is said this change will begin an era of true world peace and with it, the end of suffering on Planet Earth.

What is not yet realized is this: In order for humanity to continue its evolution, a separation is needed. Upon the rapidly approaching close of Earth School’s current semester, only those souls having attained a VF equal to or greater than Third Level Cusp will enter the new reality. As those of you familiar with this website will know by now, our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires impact our VF. Negative thoughts lower it and positive thoughts raise it.

Following the long-prophesied events will come the Great Spiritual Reckoning, also known as the Judgment of the Sheep and Goats. Our current VF will be measured to determine our next phase of spiritual development. Those with a VF below a certain level will continue their spiritual education in one place, while those above that level will continue in another. This is true for each and every soul, no matter our chronological age. After the coming events, a measure of soul memory will be restored to us so we are able to understand what is happening to us, and to the planet.



Leviathan Go Back
Represents corrupt religious and government systems determined, even at the risk of betraying their oath of service, to maintain their grip on influence, power and money at the expense of those over whom they have authority. See Behemoth.



Seven in bible prophecy Go Back
In the Book of Revelation alone, the word Seven is used roughly 50 times, and more than 700 times in the Bible itself. Given that approximately one third of the entire Bible is devoted to prophecy, seven is clearly an important concept and needs to be well-understood if we are to be enlightened as to what it represents spiritually. In a nutshell, seven represents God's divine plan manifested in the physical world. Additionally, here are two resources I have found informative.

Seven stars Go Back
Rev.1.20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

In modern terms: The hidden truth of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the seven virtues to be taught and modeled by the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven virtues as received and embodied by their flocks. The seven virtues consist of the four cardinal virtues of fortitude, justice, prudence, and temperance, and the three theological virtues of charity, faith and hope.

The Hebrew word for lampstand is menorah. It is a seven-branched golden candleholder meaning 'agent of light' or 'place of light' and symbolizes divine presence and guidance. In modern terms: the gold represents The All, the lampstand's form represents Sovereign Majesty and the lamps represent divine guidance.



Seventy sevens Go Back
Daniel prophesied of a period of seventy weeks of years (7 x 70 = 490 years) in Jerusalem's and her people's history, following which there would be a partial restoration of both the city and her people, and following certain other events, a full restoration.
