Blessed is he
that readeth, and they that hear the
words of this prophecy, and keep
those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:3
The
Ministry of the 144,000
Servants of God Revelation
14:6-7 Then I saw another
angel flying in midair, and
he had the eternal gospel to
proclaim to those who live on
the earth – to every
nation, tribe, language and
people. He said in a loud
voice, “Fear God and
give him glory, because the
hour of his judgment has
come. Worship him who made
the heavens, the earth, the
sea and the springs of
water.” The
first angel’s message
begins during the first
890 days of the
Great Tribulation. The
messages of the 144,000 are
portrayed by angels
because God wants the world
to know the messages are not
from men –
they are from God. The
144,000 servant –
prophets of God were
hand-picked by Jesus out of
every nation of the world to
globally preach the gospel
before the Great Tribulation
began. The servant prophets
proclaim the gospel with the
convicting power of the Holy
Spirit. Even though God uses
His servants to proclaim the
gospel, no one has ever heard
the convicting voice of the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
knows what is in each
person’s heart and
therefore He knows just what
to say and do, which is far
beyond human ability. The
Holy Spirit is not
grieved
{blasphemed} because He is
insulted – He is grieved
because there is nothing more
that God can do for the
person without violating
his/her freedom of choice.

The
First Angel's Message in
Reality World’s
Infrastructures Destroyed
– According to the time
periods given in the books of
Daniel and Revelation, the
first four catastrophic
events could occur during a
very short period, perhaps 30
to 60 days. The magnitude,
extent and rapidity of these
horrible events will catch
everyone by surprise and they
will cause every survivor to
ask three questions. First, ‘What
does God want?” In
ages past God has sent
warning judgments mixed with
mercy in an attempt to awaken
people to their true
condition. (Ezekiel 6;
Zephaniah 2) In this sense,
the seven trumpets will be no
different. By gaining the
attention of the world
through His wrath, God will
put His servants, the
144,000, in an authoritative
position to present the terms
and conditions of salvation.
The overwhelming evidence of
God’s wrath will be
obvious to religious, as well
as non-religious minds.
Through a sequence of
carefully designed events,
God will ultimately separate
the survivors of Earth into
two categories – those
who are willing to submit to
His authority and those who
defiantly stand in rebellion.
The second question that will
come to the forefront of
people’s minds will be, “Why
is God so angry?”
Great terror will fill the
hearts of those who survive
the first judgments of God.
Every infrastructure will be
broken and demolished.
Because the Holy Spirit will
empower the 144,000 to
proclaim God’s Word
powerfully, the world will
clearly hear why God is
angry. Everyone everywhere
must hear why God’s
anger has boiled over. In
this painful setting, a third
question will rise: “What
is coming next?”
The first four events will
cause many to think that God
has decided to destroy Earth
‘a piece at a
time.” The rich and the
poor, the arrogant and the
humble, the educated and the
uneducated, the powerful and
the powerless will be
dumbfounded. Depression,
anxiety and grief will render
many survivors dysfunctional.
Few people are mentally or
spiritually prepared to cope
with the coming tribulation,
and physical preparation to
save ourselves from
God’s wrath is useless.
Jesus said, “As
it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be at the coming
of the Son of Man. For in the
days before the flood, people
were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in
marriage, up to the day Noah
entered the ark; and they
knew nothing about what would
happen until the flood came
and took them all away. That
is how it will be at the
coming of the Son of
Man.” (Matthew
24:37-39) If the Bible
teaches anything about
God’s wrath, it reveals
that God always takes action
when a majority of people
violate His laws and do evil.
The bible speaks of the flood
in Noah’s day, the
destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah, the destruction of
Jericho, the destruction of
Jerusalem, and at the end of
the age, the destruction of
Earth. Revelation predicts
that Earth will receive a
series of 14 deadly blows. By
the time the Great
Tribulation has ended, God
will have destroyed every
defiant person on Earth.
These three questions and
man’s attempt to answer
them – willproduce the
human response that
Revelation predicts.
83
The
Analogous Scene of the
Leopard-Like Beast, Babylon Revelation
13:1-2 And the dragon
[devil] stood [authority]
on the shore of the sea. And
I saw a beast [kingdom]
coming out of the
sea [people].
He had ten horns [kings]
and seven heads
[leaders], with
ten crowns on his horns, and
on each head a blasphemous
name [apostate
religions]. The
beast [government]
I saw resembled a leopard
[fast like Greece], but
had the feet like those of a
bear [cruel like
Medo-Persia] and
a mouth like that of a lion [dictator
like Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon]. The
dragon gave the beast his
power and his throne and
great authority. Very
rapidly within the
first fifty days
after the destruction of the
first four trumpets all the
nations of the world will
respond to the global
destruction of the first four
trumpets by forming a global
crisis government that is
described by John as the
leopard-like beast of
Revelation
13:1-2. Time:
By subtracting
the length of the persecution
of 1,240 days of Revelation
13:5 from when the
persecution ends on the 1,290th
day of the beginning point of
persecution is easily
calculated, which is fifty
days after Jesus terminates
His intercession at the
golden altar and sound the
first four trumpets {There
are 29.53 days to a month}. Persecution
Begins: The
nations of the world need
time to form the crisis
government {the leopard-like
beast of Revelation 13:1-2}
after the destruction of the
first four trumpets. The
leopard-like beast persecutes
the saints for forty-two
months or 1,240
days that ends 1,290 days
after Jesus terminates
corporate intercession
{Daniel 12:11, Revelation
8:3-4}.
84
The
Seven Religions of the World The leopard-like
beast is a global crisis
government of church/state;
thus democracy is gone;
marshal law is worldwide. The
seven heads are religious
systems and the ten horns are
kings or political
authorities {Revelation
17:12}. The leopard-like
beast is a
religious/political dictator
like ancient Papal Rome.
Papal Rome is the head that
was wounded by Napoleon in
1798, but at this time the
deadly wound is healed and
the papacy again has civil
authority to enforce its
religious laws. As in any
animal the head controls the
body. This government behaves
like an animal that is
fighting for survival. It has
seven heads that control the
body; thus it is full of
confusion. This is why
John calls it Babylon. And
just like any animal the
horns are pointed and
controlled by the head. This
government has seven
religious heads that control
the body, but they are all in
apostasy. We know the
religious laws passed by this
government are enforced by
the use of civil power,
because those who refuse to
obey its religious laws will
pay with the penalty of
prison and death {Revelation
13:7 & 10}. This
government gives the little
horn of Daniel 7:11 civil
power to enforce religious
laws like it did during the
Dark Ages; thus the deadly
wound of 1798 is healed
– the papacy is back.
85
Global
Crisis of the First Four
Trumpets The first four
trumpet judgments will
produce death and destruction
on a biblical scale that
exceeds human calculation.
These four judgments will
ruin Earth to the extent that
recovery will be impossible.
I have indicated that the
first four trumpets will
occur during a period of
about sixty days. Even
though the Bible does not
explicitly declare the timing
of the first four trumpets,
there is some indication they
will happen in a rapid-fire
sequence after the censer is
cast down. Please consider
the following: The Bible
predicts that mankind will
quickly respond to the first
four trumpets by setting up a
crisis government called
“Babylon.” Of
course, world leaders will
not call their new creation
“Babylon.” The
Bible calls this coming
government
“Babylon” because
its behavior will parallel
the ancient kingdom of
Babylon, both in arrogance
and ignorance. The Bible
also indicates Babylon will
persecute God’s saints
for forty-two months.
(Revelation 13:5) Because the
Great Tribulation will last
approximately forty-five
months (1,335 days, Daniel
12:11,12), Babylon has to
form within ninety days after
the Great Tribulation begins
in order to persecute the
saints for forty-two months
(forty-five months minus
forty-two months leaves
ninety days). Since Babylon
has to begin persecuting the
saints within ninety days
after the censer is cast
down, this suggests that the
first four trumpets will come
in a rapid-fire
sequence. Here is
why: A rapid-fire
sequence of judgments on
notably wicked places will
silence the argument that
these horrible events were
random acts of nature. If the
first four trumpets were
months apart, these judgments
could be interpreted as
random acts of nature and the
argument favoring a random
string of “natural
disasters” would be
difficult to silence.
Moreover, if the first four
trumpets were months apart,
nothing else could move
diverse religions and nations
to unite and form Babylon so
that the persecution of
God’s people all over
the world can begin within
ninety days. If the first
four trumpets were months
apart, it would be impossible
to get people to thoughtfully
consider the gospel presented
by the 144,000. (The 144,000
will begin their work on the
day the censer is cast down.)
Until religious paradigms are
shattered and a theological
vacuum is created, people
will not listen to a gospel
that is contrary to their
current beliefs. If the first
four trumpets do fall within
a short period on notably
wicked places, this would
force reasoning people to
admit that (a) God is on the
warpath against wickedness,
and (b) something must be
done quickly to appease God
or He may destroy
everyone. If the first
four trumpets occurred in a
rapid-fire sequence, the
resulting shock and awe would
totally overwhelm the whole
world. Panic and trembling
would be so great that a war
involving nuclear exchanges
would end. Panic and fear of
“the Living God”
would bring leaders
(religious and political)
into a humble union. United
by terror and motivated by
fear, they would move quickly
to appease God. Man’s
fear of more wrath explains
sudden formation of Babylon. Everyone
will conclude that God is
angry. Of course, extreme
circumstances require
desperate solutions, and the
bible predicts that
man’s solution to
appeasing God’s wrath
will be extreme (otherwise
unthinkable).
86
The
Church Given Civil Power to
Rule Babylon is
represented in Revelation
13:1-8 as a leopard-like
monster that will rise out of
the sea. Babylon’s
represents man’s
response to God’s wrath.
Babylon will be a religious
government with a simple
objective: Babylon will
appease God so that His wrath
will cease. The
“sea” from which
Babylon will rise represents ‘peoples,
multitudes, nations and
languages.” (Revelation
17:15) In other words,
Babylon will arise from
within the nations of the
world. After the first four
trumpets turn the world
upside down, the political
leaders of the world will
humbly submit to the
authority of Babylon. The
Bible predicts this amazing
turnover with these words: “…
And he [Babylon,
the leopard-like beast] was
given [the gift
of] authority
over every tribe, people,
language and nation.” (Revelation
13:7, insertion and italics
mine) Babylon will be a
“monster-sized”
church-state government.
Babylon’s leaders will
dictate how the civil
governments of the world are
going to proceed in their
efforts to appease God so
that His wrath will cease.
Today, it goes beyond
comprehension to say that a
time is coming when the
world’s political
leaders will submit to the
dictates of a one-world
religious government, but the
destruction caused by the
first four trumpets is
unimaginable, too. When the
world witnesses God’s
devastating wrath on notably
wicked places and smells the
stench of 1.75 billion dead
people, almost everyone will
have a dramatic change in
their thinking about God. His
authority and our
accountability to Him will
become topics of greatest
concern. During the gloomy
darkness of the fourth
trumpet, the religious
leaders of the world will
convene and conceive a
well-intended, but foolish
plan to appease God. They
will unanimously agree that
one God is angry with all
mankind and that degenerate
behavior has provoked
God’s wrath against all
nations. Therefore, religious
leaders will conclude that
all nations and all religions
must unite as one family to
appease Him. “if we do
this, they will say,
“our chances of
offending God further will be
reduced. Perhaps He will have
mercy on the whole world when
He sees that all mankind is
anxious to please Him and our
sincerity is global.”
87
The
Deadly Wound is Healed The head that
was wounded and “had
been healed” when
Babylon rises to power
represents the Roman Catholic
Church. The authority of the
Catholic Church over the
kings and nations of Europe
began with Emperor
Justinian’s decree in
March, A.D. 533 (but the
decree remained ineffective
until A.D. 538). The
Church’s authority over
the kings of Europe lasted
1,260 years. (Daniel 7:25,
Revelation 12:6, 14) When
this prophetic period ended,
the French Revolution
(1789-1799) fatally wounded
the authority of the Church
when Pope Pius VI was
dethroned and put in prison
(February 1798). One hundred
thirty-one years later, on
June 7, 1929, Italian
dictator, Benito Mussolini,
on behalf of King Victor
Emmanuel III, grated the
Catholic Church the right to
exist as a sovereign state.
This grant to the Catholic
Church is known as the
Lateran Accords or Treaty.
This event granted the pope
sovereign rulership over the
State of the Vatican and more
importantly, the pope was set
free to direct and lead the
Catholic Church without
accountability to any
nation. For the past
eighty years, the religious
and political influence of
the Catholic Church has been
steadily growing throughout
the world. In recent years
(largely due to the
extraordinary popularity of
Pope Paul II, 1920-2005), the
Roman Catholic Church has had
a significant political force
in the world. Pope
Benedict’s reception and
extravagant birthday party at
the White House (hosted by
President George Bush on
April 16, 2008) is a recent
event demonstrating the
Church has regained a
position of international
respect and power. Many
nations (170 at this writing)
have ambassadors assigned to
the Vatican. However, the
deadly wound will not be
healed until the Roman
Catholic Church once again
exercises authority over
sovereign governments.
88
Global
Government of Church &
State When world
leaders convene during the
fourth trumpet to create
Babylon, I believe three
amazing decisions will come
out of this emergency meeting
of Church &
State. First,
after recognizing the
religious diversity of
mankind and given the
obvious fact that one
God has destroyed a third of
the world, this emergency
council will agree that all
nations must unite as a
family to appease God so that
His wrath will cease. The
council will agree that a
number of
“sin-less” laws
must be enacted and enforced
or God’s anger will
continue to burn against
mankind. This council will
also agree that God must be
respected and worshiped. This
council will conclude that
anyone defying laws that
honor God should be punished
because it is better for one
person to suffer for wrong
doing than for a whole world
to suffer additional
destruction due to God’s
wrath. They will conclude
that enforcing high standards
of conduct is the only way
that God’s wrath against
the world’s decadence
will stop. Second,
because everyone at the
council will know that
God’s anger was directed
at notably wicked places all
over the world, political
leaders will acquiesce to the
suggestions of religious
experts. Political
leaders will have no choice
but to accept the
responsibility of enacting
and enforcing laws to reduce
sinful behavior. All nations
will participate in this
endeavor because world
leaders believe that
God’s wrath could
possibly break out against
the whole world if any part
of the world family fails to
participate. Political
leaders will be in the
position of having no choice
but to go along with Babylon’s
directions will
quickly resolve the awful crisis
that exists between God and
man. Third,
leaders of the world
understand that every
governing body requires
qualified leadership. A
Supreme council, something
like the Security Council of
the United Nations will be
created. I believe the pope
will be selected as the
leader of Babylon for four
reasons. First, the healing
of the deadly wound has been
ongoing since 1929. Second,
the Catholic Church is
uniquely prepared to serve
the world through its
diplomatic relations with 170
nations. Third, the Roman
Catholic Church believes a
church-state is the best form
of government. Finally, the
Bible predicts the deadly
wound will be healed
(Revelation 13:3) and the
little horn of Daniel 7 (the
papacy) will speak boastfully
after 1844 (Daniel 7:11).
These four reasons lead me to
conclude that the pope will
be chosen to lead Babylon.
89
The
Church with Civil Authority During the first
four trumpets, each nation
will be forced to suspend
their constitution so that
martial law can be enacted.
Given the size and scope of
God’s wrath, world
leaders will do whatever it
takes to maintain control.
Food and water supplies will
be rationed. Medical care and
energy reserves will be
scarce. Hunger and thirst
will drive millions of dazed
and bewildered people crazy.
Extreme situations require
desperate solutions.
Earth’s population has
never seen a global crisis
like the first four trumpets.
The crisis will be so huge
that political leaders in
every nation will be set free
of their constitutional
obligations almost
immediately. This freedom
will permit them to enact and
enforce laws they would have
been strongly opposed to
during normal times. The
declaration of martial law
will make it very easy for
lawmakers to comply with the
demands of Babylon’s
clergy. Given the fact that
something must be done to
appease God, very few
citizens will complain –
at first. After Babylon
begins to function as a
religious authority over the
nations of the world,
Babylon’s laws will
become increasingly
oppressive and restrictive.
Remember, laws will be
enacted demanding that
everyone set aside one day
for worshiping God. Later on,
these laws will be amended
and mandatory worship on
specific days will be
required. Man’s efforts
to appease God’s wrath
explains how worship will
become a focal point of
persecution. The bible
predicts, “All
inhabitants of the earth will
worship [obey] the
beast – all whose names
have not been written in the
book of life belonging to the
lamb that was slain from the
creation of the world.” (Revelation
13:8, insertion and italics
mine) The Ten Commandments,
especially the fourth
commandment will be
constantly debated. The topic
of worship will become very
important. The 144,000 will
present the holiness of
God’s seventh day
Sabbath with clarity and
compelling power. There is
only one reason for rebelling
against the fourth
commandment. It is man’s
natural hostility toward
God’s authority. When
the carnal nature is
confronted with the demands
of God’s law, hostility
is the result. Paul wrote, “The
sinful mind is hostile to
God. It does not submit to
God’s law nor can it do
so. Those controlled by the
sinful nature cannot please
God.” (Romans
8:7,8)
90
The
fifth angel sounded his
trumpet Satan
is kept in the prison of the
Abyss for two-thirds of the
time to maximize saving
souls. After the ministry of
the 144,000 comes to a
stall, then
Jesus releases the devil at
the end of the 890th
day to unmask him.
Satan appears, masquerading
as Jesus Christ, at the latter
time of God’s wrath
at the fifth trumpet after
two-thirds of the first six
trumpets have sounded. Satan,
masquerading as God on earth
reveals his hideous character
by his lies and murderous
designs during the fifth and
sixth trumpets. Jesus
releases Satan at the fifth
trumpet to unmask
himto
save those who that are
deceived, but love the truth.
Satan is released at the
fifth trumpet to make the greatest
possible contrast
between the truth of Jesus
and the lies of the devil.
This enables those that lovethe truth to
make an intelligent decision.
The wicked that hate
the truth worship Satan and
the saints worship God. This
segment uses 890 days to
represent the early
time of God’s wrath
because it is two-thirds of
the 1,335 days and four
trumpets out of six trumpets
is two-thirds. God gives most
of the time to His servants
the 144,000 to save souls.
The 890 days gives structure
to the story. I cannot
say with all certainty that
there are exactly 890 days to
the appearance of the devil
proclaiming himself as God on
Earth. But this author can
say with all certainty that
there are exactly 1,335 days
to the length of the Great
Tribulation and Satan is not
allowed to appear until
the fifth
trumpet at the latter
time of God’s wrath.
And the latter time of
God’s wrath is near
the end of the
Great tribulation or after
two-thirds of the time, which
is 890 days.
91
Satan,
the Little Daniel 9:9
And out of one of them [north
wind] came forth
a little horn, which waxed
exceedingly great, toward the
south, and toward the east,
and toward the pleasant land [global].
The coming Antichrist will
not be human when the books
of Isaiah, Ezekiel, 2
Thessalonians 2 Corinthians,
Daniel and Revelation
harmonize because they are
the Word of God. They present
a rather startling picture of
the coming Antichrist by
adding valuable pieces to the
puzzle. The following
comments are a brief
synthesis of what these books
say about the Antichrist: The
coming Antichrist will not be
a mere mortal. The coming
Antichrist will not be born
of a woman. The coming
Antichrist cannot be killed
by men. The coming Antichrist
will have supernatural powers
that far exceed anything men
can do. The coming Antichrist
will be evil and destructive
beyond comprehension. The
coming Antichrist will be
dazzling and commanding in
appearance, but deadly in
manipulation. The coming
Antichrist will be a
stern-faced king, that is, he
will not show mercy unless
temporal mercy facilitates
his evil schemes. Billions of
powerful demons serve him.
The coming Antichrist is the
ancient foe of Christ. In
fact, Lucifer is the most
powerful and the greatest
angel God even created. He
was the first to become
Anti-Christ. The Bible
predicts that God will allow
Lucifer and his angels to
appear in physical form
visible to the human race.
Just as Jesus became a man to
save the world, Lucifer will
be granted authority to
masquerade as God so that he
can quickly lead the wicked
to their destruction. Lucifer
will mimic Christ’s
return and appear with clouds
of angels. You can be sure
the appearing of the devil
will be the most spectacular
event ever viewed by human
eyes (Revelation 17:8) –
only to be eclipsed by the
brighter and more glorious
appearing of Jesus.
(Revelation 1:7, 19:11-21) Horn
92
I
am God Almighty, the Great
Prince - there shall only be
one religion! During the five
months of the fifth trumpet,
the devil will steadily gain
a following of believers
through deception. World
leaders will be delighted
that “Almighty God”
is on their side, but a
problem will soon arise. How
is religious diversity
possible when “God”
dwells among men? How can
Jews, Muslims, Christians,
and Hindus defend opposing
views when “God”
Himself lives among men? How
can nations remain sovereign
when “God” Himself
lives among men? How can
nations remain sovereign when
“God” is sovereign
over all nations? At the end
of the fifth trumpet, the
devil will abruptly change
his tactics and demeanor. He
will become a
“stern-faced”
dictator. He will make
horrible demands and mankind
will be powerless to resist
or stop him. There will be no
law except the law of this
demon. Whatever the devil
wants and whatever the devil
commands will be law. (Hence
the descriptive term used by
Paul, “the man of
lawlessness.”) The devil
will demand an end to
religious diversity and his
command will be carried out.
He will demand a theocracy be
established and his command
will be honored. (A theocracy
is a church-state government
where God rules as King of
kings and Lord of lords.) For
reasons beyond the scope of
this study, I believe Lucifer
will change the day of
worship. Because he will be
“king of kings and Lord
of lords,” who can
resist anything he wants or
says? Resistance to
Lucifer’s demands will
be silenced by Lucifer’s
demons. “…
And the agony they suffered
was like that of a sting of a
scorpion when it strikes a
man. During those days men
will seek death, but will not
find it; they will long to
die, but death will elude
them.” (Revelation
9:5, 6)
93
It
[Satan the little horn] set
itself up to be as great as
the Prince of the host....' The horn power
from the north starts small,
but it grows until it reaches
the starry host of the
heavens, then it throws them
down and tramples them. This
language indicates the
stern-faced king will grow in
recognition and authority
among the inhabitants of
Earth until he is exalted
above all gods! The book of
Revelation reveals more about
this process than Daniel.
Revelation indicates the
devil will begin his physical
work on Earth with local
appearances. The devil, along
with his enormous host of
angels, will come down out of
the sky in blinding clouds of
light at specific locations
on Earth. He will imitate
Christ’s Second Coming
with two obvious differences.
First, God will not permit
the devil to be visible to
the whole world at one time.
So, the people of Earth will
not be introduced to the
Antichrist at one event. He
will grow in popularity as he
appears in the skies over the
populated cities of Earth.
Great cities of the world
such as Mexico City,
Jerusalem, Washington D.C.,
Moscow, Sydney, Beijing,
Calcutta, Houston and others,
will see magnificent displays
of power and glory. Lucifer
will appear in various places
and he will exercise
miracle-working powers to
convince people that he is
God. (Revelation 13:14,15)
Even though his display of
power will be amazing, the
saints will not be deceived.
They know who is behind the
mask. (Revelation 14:9, 10)
94
'...it
[Satan the little horn] took
away the daily sacrifice
[intercession of Jesus] from
him, and the place of his
[Christ's] sanctuary was
brought low Daniel 8:11
It [Satan] set
itself up to be as great as
the Prince of the host [Jesus];
it took away the
daily sacrifice from him [Jesus],
and the place of
his sanctuary was brought
low. These
verses describes Satan
appearing out of nowhere {the
wind}, which gives him
credibility as a supernatural
being. Satan, the little
horn, is on Earth for five
months {150 days}
masquerading as Jesus; this
is the time period of the
fifth trumpet {Revelation
9:1-11}. Satan so overwhelms
the inhabitants of the Earth
with his supernatural
appearance as an angel of
light that the majority of
the people completely forget
about prayer and repentance.
People are saying, ‘Who
needs the Bible or prayer,
God is here – we could
never understand the Bible
anyway?’ Satan,
masquerading as God on Earth
draws the attention of the
people away from the heavenly
sanctuary, Jesus, the Bible,
the truth, and brings the
intercessory work of Jesus
very low before or by the
1,040th
day. So, Jesus sends the
wicked their god at a latter
time of wrath creating a
vortex that forces everyone
to make a choice…either
worship the devil or God.
Satan counterfeits the Second
Coming of Jesus by his
supernatural appearances and
deceives the entire world.
Satan and the wicked hate the
truth just like the Pharisees
that killed Jesus. God allows
the wicked to kill millions
of saints that love the truth
to unmask Satan.
The truth being cast to the
ground in Daniel 8:12 is
looked upon as a very bad
thing by many, but this is not
so. Jesus sends
Satan knowing he will lie and
murder the saints casting the
truth to the ground.
Jesus sends the saints to
their death as they write
their testimony to the truth
in their own blood gleaning
the last few souls. Jesus
uses the death of the martyrs
to create a great
contrast between
the lies
of the devil and the truth
– there are
no gray shades. Everyone
either chooses to worship the
devil or God by their own
free choice. The cleansing of
the sanctuary is finished
– that brings the
judgment of the world to an
end.

Satan
the King of the North Daniel 11:36
The king [Satan]
will do as he
pleases. He will exalt and
magnify himself above every
god and will say unheard-of
things against the God of
gods [2
Thessalonians 2:4]. He
will be successful until the
time of wrath
[trumpets] is
completed, for what has been
determined must take place. This
scene also begins on the 890th
day with Satan, the king of
the north, destroying
the world financially at
the time of the fifth
trumpet. He exalts himself as
God on Earth confiscating all
the land in the world and
selling it to the highest
bidder and giving high
positions to those who
acknowledge him. In Daniel
8:10 Satan demands that the
leaders discard their ancient
religions {trampling
on the starry host};
then Satan consolidates all
the religions of the world
into One World Religion
called the god of
fortresses.
96
A
Part of the World Represents
the Whole World Instead of
them, he will honor a god of
fortresses [a
one world religion]
– during
the 220 days between the 890th
day to the 1,040th
day Satan is setting up his
kingdom. There are four
scenes going on
simultaneously. 1. Satan is
exalting himself as the
Prince of the host in Daniel
8: 9-11 and drawing people to
himself and away from God and
repentance. 2. His demons in
Revelation 9:5 & 10 are
torturing the non-religious
wicked people into submission
to worship him. 3. Satan, the
lamb-like beast of Revelation
13:11, is masquerading as the
Savior of the world setting
up a ONE WORLD RELIGION
– the image of the
beast. 4. Satan, the king of
the north, is creating a
god of fortresses, or
the consolidation of all the
religions of the world into a
one world religion, the whore
that sits on the beast: Revelation
17:3,4 Then the angel carried
me away in the Spirit into a
desert. There I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast
that was covered with
blasphemous names and had
seven heads and ten horns.
The woman was dressed in
purple and scarlet and was
glittering with gold,
precious stones and pearls.
She held a golden cup in her
hand, filled with abominable
things and the filth of her
adulteries.
97
...and
[Satan] will greatly honor
those who acknowledge him. He
will make them rulers over
many people and will
distribute the land at a
price Satan, the
king of the north,
physically appears as God on
Earth on the 890th
day of the Great Tribulation.
The king of the north
‘here’ means Satan
is a global destroyer. He
exalts himself above every
god and every religion in the
world just as he did in
Daniel 8:9-12. He has no
respect for any of the
ancient religions of Judaism,
Islam, Catholicism,
Protestantism, etc. – he
exalts himself above them
all. Satan, as God on Earth,
confiscates all the wealth of
the world. Satan creates
‘the god of
fortress’ by
consolidating all the
religions of the world in one
called ‘the god of
fortress,’ which is
another name for ‘image
of the beast’ in
Revelation 13:15. Those that
acknowledge him, he honors
with gold and silver –
making them wealthy beyond
their wildest dreams. The
south, the
non-religious wicked,
organize themselves all over
the world to attack Satan the
king of the north. This war
is a global civil war over
land and money because Satan
looted the world. The south
‘here’ means the
non-religious atheistic world
on a global scale. On the
1,040th
day a global civil world war
will begin by the south
attacking the north to take
back their land and money
98
During
the first five months of
Satan's reign, masquerading
as God on earth, he will
honor those who acknowledge
him making them very rich and
rulers over many people Satan, the
king of the north,
physically appears as God on
Earth on the 890th
day of the Great Tribulation.

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