End of the era of grace until the end of the stage reserved for the Antichrist
This is the most terrible and the most destructive era in the history of mankind. I think and many also believe that we have arrived at this time. This time, as described in the Word, coincides remarkably with our era. People are right to wonder what the future holds.
Before continuing this study on the stage of Tribulation or the time reserved for the Antichrist, the son of Satan, I would like to inform the reader that several prophetic passages shall be
cited. This stage of the Word is mainly concentrated on the Revelation, Daniel and
Thessalonians. Here I make a warning, because I am a man who fears God. I had to use
biblical verses of prophetic books like Revelation, Zechariah, Daniel, and Ezekiel; to provide necessary theological teachings. Again, I want to emphasize that the only truth is the Bible, the Word of God, verse by verse making up each of its books, without adding or subtracting. So, dear readers, it is your responsibility to ensure that the biblical quotations used in this book are accurate, what I myself recognize is the fact that I wanted to extract whole portions of the Bible verses to attach to this book. But in course of typing, I might have made an error, so, only the original quotation of the Bible is valid and truthful. Also, with regard to the prophecies, interpretations, explanation and data speculation, they remain prone to error. So the only truth remains the full prophecy in the Bible without adding or subtracting anything.
The rest is only speculation.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away,
one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is
fulfilled.
(Matthew 5: 18)
This means that whatever God has written will happen.
Here are the signs and instructions that God gives in respect of that period. This is the last part of theory or theology, what is there and why these things happen, before moving on to our era. As you can see, the Bible is fascinating and has been designed in the image of creation. When God created the earth, it did not have all the lakes, rivers and mountains in isolation. Each being separated from the four corners of the planet! That is exactly how the Bible is made; God did not put a specific topic in a single place. In one Bible passage, He explains an idea and in another passage He further adds more meaning to the previous idea.
The current chapter will be divided into four separate parts:
1) The rapture of the church, the resurrection of the righteous, the Advent of Christ and the time of the Great Tribulation 2) The prophecies to be fulfilled before the Rapture of the Church 3) The formation of the satanic block 4) The conduct of the satanic reign
This division is strictly intended to guide the reader clearly in this biblical time called "Great Tribulation."
PART I - The rapture of the Church, the resurrection of the righteous, the Advent of Christ and the time of tribulation
In this subchapter, we will identify the two resurrections that concern the Righteous. The first part of the resurrection coincides with the rapture of the Universal Church of Christ whereas the second part coincides with His coming, when there shall be a day of judgment at the end of a period of seven years. Then we will determine the time of the Great Tribulation.
1) Signs of the Advent of Christ
The first part of the resurrection of the righteous and the Rapture of the Church on earth is to mark the beginning of the Christian "Tribulation of saints" and for the Antichrist the beginning of his satanic reign.
Indeed, Matthew 24 brings out two different resurrections but merged into one: Resurrection of the Righteous. The first resurrection shall be through the rapture of the Church and the second through the judgment of all nations at the end of the Great Tribulation seven (7) years later. Here, the dead in Christ shall be resurrected during the Great Tribulation at the end of the seven (7) years allocated to the Antichrist. This is called the Advent of Christ as it is the tangible return of Christ as King of Judah during the Millennium.
Let us read Matthew 24:1-31, and then look for signs that differ for each resurrection because times are different.
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down." 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. 23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 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.
As I said before, Christ in Matthew 24 makes allusion to two events, but here, he is directly addressing His people, the Jewish people, because during the Tribulation and the reign of the Antichrist it is the Jewish people who will become the messenger of Christ.
Also, there is an interrelationship between the Jewish people and the Church. Indeed, the role of Evangelization to be assumed by the Jewish people begins when the Church of Christ is raptured. The Antichrist will arrive and the Jewish people will convert to Christ. Now, to better understand what is happening now and what will take place during the reign of the Antichrist, we must understand the role of the church and the signs of its rapture, the role of Jews and the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Many will say it's all very nice but did the Lord not say: " For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night " (1 Thessalonians 5:2). In terms of day and time, nobody knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son but the Father alone (Matthew 24:36). Yes, these words were pronounced and they are true.
Certainly we cannot tell the time or the day of Christ's return, or say that this day will be understood by all. Jesus, in his incredible love for us gave us the signs of the Rapture of the Church and those of his coming. It is possible to know the signs of the end times. However, it is a duty for all Christians of the world to know because the Lord gave these signs in order to ensure that we are not taken by surprise.
2) Rapture of the Church and the first part of the resurrection of the Righteous
The church was established when the Jews refused to accept Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God and Saviour of men. Then at that moment a power of blindness seized the Jewish nation.
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the
Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins." 28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (Romans 11: 25-29)
As history attests, the Jews rejected Christ, hence, he was presented to other nations and some men among these nations accepted Him (Christ). But as clearly written in the first verse, it is necessary that all Gentiles be converted during the time of grace granted to nations. Then it will be the rapture of the Church and eventually, Israel will be converted to Christ.
The portion of Israel who hardened his heart is the portion on which the Church of Christ will reign on earth. Currently, she has reigned for over two thousand years, but I think there is only little time left and you'll see why a little further. Therefore it has been very difficult during these two thousand years of grace to have converts among the Jews.
3) When will the Church be raptured and when will the dead rise?
Here's what Paul says about this:
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12)
The temple in which the Antichrist shall sit and claim to be God is the ancient temple of Solomon. Currently, the location, layout and plans of work are being prepared. Only the start of construction is being awaited. It is possible that construction must takes place within the first year of the Antichrist. With technological means of today's world and the mild weather of Israel, it is possible that the temple be built within six months.
The Church will probably not see the Antichrist, although it will be born under the stage of Grace. It will probably be visible to the nations when the Rapture of the Church and of the Holy Spirit would have taken place, in due time by God. But the Antichrist will not do anything so long as the Church and the Holy Spirit will still be on earth. However, the Church and the Holy Spirit will be raptured and disappear so that the Antichrist can deceive false Christians and the ungodly, left, and will try to change the law and the time set by God.
4) How will the Church be raptured?
Paul also tells us that the dead in Christ shall rise first and then those alive who believe in Christ will follow;
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18)
So, the Church and the Holy Spirit will no longer be on earth and the Jews will be converted, while Antichrist will blind the nations. The Bible says: "The dead in Christ shall rise First, after we the living will be caught up" This is a real kidnapping, quickly to the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. According to several believers, we live in a fantastic century and all the apostles would have loved to have a glimpse of this era that of being caught up without knowing death.
5) Second Part of the resurrection of the Righteous
As shall be discussed in this chapter, the Antichrist will persecute Christians among nations and the Jewish people. Indeed, the conversion of the Jewish people to Christ will enable God to convert one hundred and forty-four thousand Jews, twelve thousand from each tribe who will proclaim the good news to nations during the reign of Satan. Also, two faithful witnesses will prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. They will have the power to kill their enemies by devouring fire out of their mouths. They will be defeated by the beast at the end of their testimony and presentations on the public square, which is believed to be in the city of Jerusalem during three and half days. Then they shall come back to life, and a voice from heaven will tell them to go up. They shall go in a cloud to the astonishment of ungodly people. (Read Revelation 11:3-14). Therefore the second part of the resurrection of the righteous will take place seven years after the rapture of the church marking year one of the Antichrist. Moreover, in Revelation 20:4, this second resurrection of the righteous is confirmed in the following terms:
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Revelation 20: 4-6)
Indeed, as noted in this second part of the resurrection of the righteous we discovered that it will take place after the Great Tribulation, after the reign of Satan, during the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So it will take seven years between each of the two sections forming the first resurrection of the righteous. But letřs see how the Word of God highlights the time of the Antichrist. To recap, the first part of the resurrection of the righteous will occur at the end of the period of grace, it is called the rapture of the Universal Church and the Holy Spirit from the world. The Lord shall come in the clouds of Heaven and at the sound of the trumpet, an archangel. Here, all believers who accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts, sincerely, and were sealed by the Holy Spirit, will be caught up from the earth. Only the wicked shall remain on earth. The Lord Jesus Christ will not set foot on earth.
The second part of the resurrection of the righteous will take place seven (7) years after the reign of Satan, the wicked shall be judged; they shall all be destroyed; only the elect will enter the stage of the Millennium. Jesus Christ will raise the dead in him during the Tribulation of seven (7) years and will come to reign as King of Judah during the Millennium, after destroying the Antichrist and Satan at Armageddon. The elect who take part in the resurrection of the righteous, will reign with Christ a thousand years and live eternally in the Kingdom of Heaven.
6) The time of satanic reign
As the Lord said, the Rapture of the Church must take place. This signifies the end of grace explained in detail above. If this era is exactly two thousand years, He would be at the eve of His coming given that Jews of the prophecy era had three hundred and sixty days in their calendar.
After this act, the time allotted to Satan begins i.e. satanic year one. This seven years time shall be characterized by two periods of three and a half years and called: a time and times and half the time. Why two periods of three and a half years? Because the Bible gives the accurate time and real-time a week according to the prophecy of Daniel is equivalent to a period of seven years.
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days (Revelation 12:6)
The seventy weeks prophesied by Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27) symbolize the years of three hundred and sixty days. Each week represents seven years. The prophecy is spaced out over four hundred and ninety years. The starting point of this prophecy begins with orders to rebuild Jerusalem and its walls. Until the time of the Messiah, sixty-nine weeks have passed, including the missing week being one of the times in the plan of God. To be more precise, between the order to rebuild
Jerusalem and the emergence of Nehemiah 4 , seven (7) weeks, had passed i.e. forty nine (49) years, and between Nehemiah and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it took sixty-two (62) weeks, four hundred thirty four (434) good years. As for the missing week, in fact, the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation of John, clearly identify this period with that of the Antichrist and his reign of seven years. (References Daniel 9:25, 7:8, 7:14, 7:24-27, Matthew 24:15; Revelation.)
That is why Jesus Christ warns us and calls on us to pay attention to the prophecy of Daniel and the missing week.
"Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), (Matthew 24: 15, Mk 13: 14, Luke 21: 20)
This warning takes us to the prophecy of Daniel.
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate." (Daniel 9: 27)
The Bible is points out some of the tribulations, three and a half years, a time, and times and half the time, that is to say a part of God's plan explained in Chapter 2 of this book. Times, it is the total time of the reign of the Antichrist given by Daniel, so seven years. And half the time quoted in Revelation 12:6, 11:2-3 as a period of three and a half years. If half of the time determines a period of three and a half years, all means seven years, the missing week of the prophecy of Daniel.
Here is another verse that has shed more light on the exact time reserved for the Antichrist: 4 Illustrations Petit Larousse 1990. Nehemiah: Jew who organized Persia (445 BC.) Ezra the priest with whom Jerusalem and the Jewish community were restored after Exile. The biblical book of Nehemiah (III BC) recounts this restoration.
But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." (Revelation 11: 2-3)
Knowing the time set by the prophet Daniel, the chief priests and the Sanhedrin have no excuse for not having acknowledged Christ as the Son of God. This is what Daniel say
7) The Sanhedrin of Jesusř era inexcusable for failure to recognize Christ.
While referring to the to the prophecy of Daniel, the Sanhedrin of Jesus' time was well aware that it took forty nine (49) years, seven (7) weeks from the order given by God to rebuild Jerusalem and the appearance of his servant Nehemiah. Knowing he was still sixty two (62) Weeks between the Ministry of the Redeemer and Nehemiah that is to say four hundred and thirty four (434) years. They have no excuse for rejecting Christ as the Son of God was born, and then rejected four hundred and thirty four (434) years later as stated in the prophecy (Daniel 9: 26) and the sin of the world erased (Daniel 9: 25). Jesus is the Anointed entrenched in the sixty ninth (69) week.
a) They wanted to kill Jesus from birth
Moreover, knowing this prophecy and time of the birth of the Holy one and the place where He was born as given by the prophet Micah about 700 BC.
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting (Micah 5:2)
A new star appeared in the sky, announcing the birth of a Saint and the Magi followed the star right up to Bethlehem. The Magi asked Herod, king of Judea, where is the king of the Jews who has been born so that we may worship him (Matthew 2: 2). Herod, jealous, and thinking that his throne was in danger, feigned, and sent them to Bethlehem telling them, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also" (Matthew 2: 8). There was a census ordered on all the land by Caesar (Luke 2:1-2). Joseph of the house of Judah came to Bethlehem. The Kings of the Magi, after they had found Christ were warned in a dream not to return with the information requested, to Herod (Matthew 2: 12), while Joseph was warned by God in dream to go to Egypt (Matthew 2: 13). Herod sought the Child to destroy him. Seeing that the Magi did not return, he ordered that all children aged two years and below in Bethlehem be killed during the census. This is called the «Massacre of innocent Saints» (Matthew 2: 16) prophesied by Jeremiah 600 BC (Jeremiah 31: 15).
Some thirty years after this event Christ presented himself to the Sanhedrin, full of wit for the works of God and performed miracles never seen, saying he forgave sins and was God. The Sanhedrin knew that this was the Son of God, but in order not to lose their prestige before the people, they rejected by committing the most serious sin ever done. It was known that Christ came out of Judah (Psalms 97: 8). Men of his age from the tribe of Judah should be rare because of the "Massacre of the Innocent saints." The Sanhedrins are inexcusable, for having done so. Since this time, salvation to the Jews had been veiled. Jewish Pastors of our time should reject the mistakes committed two millennia ago.
Letřs us examine in the light of two prophecies, that of Daniel and Zechariah, the instructions given by God, and we must admit that Christ is truly the Saint awaited first by the Jewish people and then by the nations.
b) Prophecy according to Daniel
God revealed to Daniel the approximate time of Tribulation, the last week completing the seventy weeks of Daniel, that is to say, seven (7) years.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Daniel 12: 11)
This passage makes allusion to Daniel 9: 27. This represents approximately three and a half years. I think the abomination mentioned by God is this: the Antichrist will proclaim himself god, in the Temple of God (2 Thessalonians 2: 4). But reading the New Testament the exact times are revealed. The scholars of that time were very aware that a week was about seven years. Moreover, they had the reference to seven weeks between the start of the order given by God to rebuild Jerusalem and Nehemiah, which is about 49 years.
24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. 25 "Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. 26 "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate." (Daniel 9:24-27)
The sixty two weeks when an anointed one is cut off and has no successor, refers to Jesus Christ. There are exactly 434 years between Nehemiah and the Redeemer, Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Christ who is rejected by the Jews as God's anointed and atonement for sins. All those who pass through him to go to God are saved. In 70 AD, because of their rejection of the Son of God, the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem, the shrine and scattered the Jewish people across nations. If one calculates correctly, there is one week missing. As long as one remains under the age of grace through Jesus Christ, the missing week will not happen. From the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT on earth, marking thus the end of the era of grace, the week remaining in the prophecy of Daniel will begin. This will complement the seventy weeks prophesied. Here, the Antichrist will arise, will seduce the Jews; and two-thirds of them seduced will perish. Remember, Jews must not enter Jerusalem, or in any city, and those in Judea must flee to the mountains.
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. (John 5: 43)
Letřs summarize this important prophecy of Daniel about seventy (70) weeks. There are seven (7) weeks between the order given by God to rebuild Jerusalem and Nehemiah. There are sixty- two (62) weeks between Nehemiah and the redemption of Jesus Christ, four hundred thirty four (434) years. All this corresponds to sixty-nine (69) weeks. So one week is missing. It begins when the end of the stage of Grace comes, that is to say the RAPTURE OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF CHRIST AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM THE EARTH. There the seventieth week begins. During this week, an Antichrist will reign on earth for a period of seven years. At the end of the seventieth week, Israel shall find The ANOINTED SAINT OFGOD, THE KING OF JUDAH. The Jews will realize that this is Jesus Christ. He will destroy the Antichrist and his army. Prophet Zechariah explains it differently, but equally compelling chronologically, the restoration of the king of Judah and Israel.
c) Prophecies according to Zechariah
Firstly: The scattering of the Jewish people (Zechariah 7: 14)
God, because of the obduracy of the Jewish people vis-à-vis the Saviour, scattered the Jews across nations. They did not listen to the Holy Son of God or the prophets.
"But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate." (Zechariah 7: 14)
Secondly: The Recovery of Jerusalem (Zechariah chapter 8, Read)
In 1948, Israel again became a nation, marking the beginning of a restoration. Today, from a desert, God has made this country a garden. The population is growing and has been protected by God during the various attacks by the surrounding nations. One day Israel will be restored because it is God's people. Towards the end of the chapter in Zechariah 8: 23, God gives us an overview of Millennium.
"Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
As long as Israel does not find his king of Judah, he will have no power. But, by the will of God, Israel has been protected since 1948 and will remain so.
Thirdly: The Antichrist defeated by Christ and Restoration of Judah (Zechariah
chapter 9, Read)
A king shall come out of Judah. As long as Israel does not turn to his king, as a nation he shall be reduced to nothing. The first part of the chapter explains how God shall defeat nations. The second part explains how Judah shall find his king in the form of a Saviour and a King. Judah will regain its power vis-à-vis the nations of the earth thanks to his king.
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zechariah 9: 9)
When we look in the Holy Scriptures in the light of Revelation 20: 4, it is Jesus Christ. Also, this Bible verse of Prophet Zechariah is a transposition of John 12: 15, Matthew 21: 5 and Isaiah 62: 11.
Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt." (John 12:14-15)
Fourthly: The reign of the Lord (Zechariah Chapter 10, Read)
During the Millennium, God will bless Israel through the king of Judah. Also, God shows us the blessings which Israel will receive and the power of his king. It is from Judah that the King of kings shall emerge.
Fifthly: God's Judgment on unfaithful pastors (Zechariah Chapter 11, Read)
God expresses his anger against unfaithful pastors who rejected His only Son, thereby leaving the people without a shepherd for the Jewish sheep. It is a separation between the king from Judah (Jesus Christ) and Israel (Jewish people). Prophetically, we see the union between unfaithful pastors and Judas (who betrayed Jesus) in selling his Holy son on the cross of Calvary.
Pastors’ betrayal Judas’ betrayal
Then I said to them, "If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain." So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said to me, "Throw it to the potter"--that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter. (Zechariah 11:12-13, written 525 years BC.)
and said, "What are you willing to give me if I
deliver Him to you?" And they counted out to
him thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26: 15)
Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had
been condemned, was remorseful and brought
back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned by
betraying innocent blood." And they said,
"What is that to us? You see to it!"
Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the
temple and departed, and went and hanged
himself. But the chief priests took the silver
pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them
into the treasury, because they are the price of
blood." And they consulted together and
bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in. (Matthew 27:3-7)
Sixthly: Deliverance of Jerusalem (Zechariah Chapter 12, Read)
Jesus will defeat the antichrist at the end of the seven year period called the Great Tribulation. The city of Jerusalem will be restored thanks to the collections of the King of Glory from Judah. This is the restoration by the King of glory of the city abandoned by unfaithful pastors and the Jewish people in Chapter eleven of the book of Zechariah. This King of Glory is Jesus Christ.
The next Bible verses are intended to demonstrate that Christ was the expected King of Judah. So initially, I will quote passages from Zechariah, chapter 12, since we are studying this prophecy, I have assembled prophecies of the crucifixion of Christ pronounced by the prophets between 740 and 1000 years BC. Thirdly, I have added the writings of the apostles and evangelists of Jesus' era testifying the crucifixion. The aim is to make readers conversant with the divine will of atonement of sins and the recognition of the redeeming GOD made man.
Israel converts to Christ "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced . Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
(Zechariah 12: 10, written 525 years BC.)
Christ's life 1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed

(Continuation)
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked-- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.
(Isaiah 53:1-12, written 740 years BC)
Crucifixion of Jesus Christ 13 They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; 17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. 18 They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots. 19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! 20 Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. 21 Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me. (Psalms 22 :14-21, David, wrote 1000 years BC) Jesus crucified 17 And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, "I am the King of the Jews." ' " 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, (CONTINUATION) (Continuation) "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." (Psalms 22: 19) Therefore the soldiers did these things. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth (Psalms 69: 22). 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 31 Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. 36 For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." 37 And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." (Exodus 12: 46, written 1300 years BC) None of his bones will be broken. (Numbers 9: 12, written 1240 years BC) And another scripture said: They see him whom they pierced. (Zechariah 12: 10, written 525 years BC) ( John 19 :1-37)
Other passages on crucifixion 44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. Probably God broke his alliance between Judah and its king, and Israel. A wandering people without pastors (Zechariah, chapter 11) . 46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, 'into Your hands I commit My spirit.' " Having said this, He breathed His last. 47 So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!" 48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned. (Luke 23:44-48) AND Matthew adds: 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. (Matthew 27 :52-53) OTHER 38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. 39 And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. (CONTINUATION) (CONTINUATION) 42 So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby. (Here the Scripture is fulfilled) they made His grave with the wicked-- But with the rich at His death (Isaiah 53: 9) (John 19:38-42) NB: The Bible doesnřt confirm that Nicodemus was born again. About the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. OTHER 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sightŕ (Colossians 1: 16-22 )
Seventhly: Prophecy by Daniel and Zechariah
Daniel's prophecy clearly indicates that from Nehemiah, four hundred and thirty-four (434) years will elapse before an anointed will be cut off. Four hundred and thirty-four (434) years later, the redemptive work of Jesus Christ came. He is the king of Judah; he bought all the sin of men. Those who want eternal life must go through Him. Since that time Zechariah tells us that Israel is without a pastor, they rejected Christ, the King of the Jews. The time of the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH and of the HOLY SPIRIT on the earth is coming. This will mark the beginning of the seventieth week of Daniel; the Antichrist will arise during a period of seven (7) years. Two-thirds of Jews will die, they should not enter Jerusalem and cities, those in Judea must flee into the mountains. Meanwhile, there will be a spiritual revival and 144,000 Jewish virgins (Revelation 7: 4-8, 14:3-4) and two faithful witnesses (Revelation 11:3-12) will announce the good news. This mass conversion of the Jewish people will be by accepting as Lord and Saviour the one they had pierced, i.e. Jesus Christ. Indeed, He is the King of Judah. Jesus Christ shall defeat the Antichrist at Armageddon (See Revelation 16: 16 and Zechariah 12: 11), King of Judah found, the union of Christ with his people shall begin. But letřs us together look at all the signs of the Rapture of the Church that marks the beginning of reign of the Antichrist.
PART TWO - Prophecies to be fulfilled before the Rapture of The Church
When I was younger, I was taught the judgment day. From that moment I told myself that if I lived a good life, I would perhaps go to heaven. About the age of eighteen, I bought a Bible at a bookstore, aware that religion could not save me, you canřt imagine my amazement when I discovered that henceforth, I could be sure of eternal life, that there were two separate resurrections, a Judgment day for those entering into judgment and a satanic reign in the form a world government whose leader shall be the Antichrist, the son of Satan. Subsequently, I studied the Bible with a pastor to understand more precisely what the Word of God revealed to me. To my surprise, things that I discovered by reading the Bible were beautiful and very true. I had not misrepresented or misinterpreted the meaning. God has not made his book to be incomprehensible else how could he have said:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
Naturally, then, I studied the scriptures until I became a man, educated enough in the Lord to write this book. But in order not to lose focus on our topic, which is the prophecies to be completed before the Rapture of the Church, let me go back to it. Although the time, date and day of the Rapture of the Church are not revealed to men, the signs themselves are revealed to us. Currently, all the prophecies on the Rapture of the Church are being fulfilled but, (and this is not an obligation) for the fact that prior to the Rapture of the Church: the formation of a world government and the construction of the ancient temple of Solomon. Also, to better understand the prophecies marking the Rapture of the Church, we must analyze the prophecies in two sections. SECTION 1 - Prophecies directed to nations before the Rapture of the Church. SECTION 2 - Prophecies directed to the Jewish people before the Rapture of the Church.
Indeed, the Hebrew people, having rejected Christ at His first coming, do not receive the testimony of the New Testament. Also, the prophets Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Zechariah announce prophecies concerning the Jewish people, in the Old Testament, while Christians of all nations, themselves, receive even more powerful testimony, i.e. prophecies of the Old and New Testament. Also, for these reasons, we will analyze the prophecies according to the order in which they were pronounced.
SECTION 1 - Prophecies directed to nations before the Rapture of the Church
The Apostles, inspired by the Holy Spirit taught each of these prophecies. Also, the Bible warns us not to take the prophecies of God lightly.
Do not despise prophecies.
(1 Thessalonians 5:20)
Or 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1: 19-21)
Let’s examine one by one the prophetic events .
1) The Apostasy
Long time ago, people were educated in Christian principles and evil was hardly practiced. But just within a space of two generations, all that was socially repressed for millennia have become a common way of life. See what the Bible says about the end times.
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
This description in all respects reflects our time and all that is with the help of Satanřs weapons: economic crisis, urbanization, technology and modernization. In fact, things evolve too fast for man; yet, he is simultaneously overwhelmed by a host of problems. And all that has been planned and organized from scratch by Satan. People say this is the era of pleasure, the era of easiness. Nothing is easy and we must work hard to earn our daily bread. Machine is now replacing man causing unemployment to settle, the pride of man is shaken, and aggression and revolt is gradually taking over manřs nature. Not to mention that our generation has been used to experiment engineering psychology. Do not beat children, because this might frustrate them! Parents, be understanding, allow yourselves to be exploited! We now see that all these charming Psychologists have created a generation of children who do not know how to live.
a) Men will be selfish, lovers of money, having the appearance of godliness, but denying
what makes its force
During the 1960s, a generation stood up against everything that was previously taboo. They demanded freedom, higher wages and a very easy welfare with minimal labour, through trade union movements and powerful means of oppressive persuasion as: sabotage, looting, strikes and more. They got from their employers substantial pay increments and quality of life with enviable enormous social benefits.
Rapidly, leading sectors, public, parastatal, food, construction and related areas had to adjust to new demands in a Ŗfull employment " economy. Women entered the labour market thereby giving the family a very interesting income. This effervescent era lasted for about fifteen (15) years.
Previously, all workers in industrialized countries used to earn almost exactly the same wages, all workers earned between $ 3.50 and $ 5.00 per hour while the minimum wage was $ 2.90 per hour. It is obvious that living standard or peopleřs financial situation was either only slightly affected or not, because the difference in wages between skilled and unskilled workers was insignificant.
Salaries went from $ 5.00 to $ 25.00 an hour in many areas of activities in space of a decade. While in the poorest sectors, there was minimum wage increment. Wherever they could not produce a good at a cost lower than the minimum wages in industrialized countries, these works were lost and were referred elsewhere in other countries worldwide. This inflation resulting from peopleřs selfishness led to unemployment and a drastic disproportion between industrialized countries and the third world.
Of course, employers had to submit to the wage increase from $ 5.00 to $25.00 per hour a decade. Due to increase in the wages of their employees, prices of their manufactured goods were increased accordingly, causing inflation and a rise in the cost of living. Then, companies now installed office automation, computers and robotics in order to minimize too much expense on the cost of labour and to survive in a global marketplace. Both in the public sectors and parastatal, government introduced higher taxes to be able to pay State employees, but they could never replace the lost revenue generated by the disappearance of companies that could not cope with the rise in the minimum wage of employees in industrialized countries. Disbursements by the various governments increased with higher costs in wage insurance and indexation of living cost took a heavy toll on national economies of the past generations. It reached a point where these generations spent the accumulated surplus of the various governments and encroached on the well-being of future generations, thereby leaving them with heavy national debts. Then, what was to happen happened, subsequent generations were in need of jobs, but there was none left except jobs below the threshold of poverty.
The number of industries that could survive this inflation was minimal, all jobs being occupied in a budget-compressed economy for survival. Apart from the rich job-sectors, all remaining companies were bound to survive leaning on the minimum salary. The other positions were occupied by permanent trade union employees. Workers in rich sectors were going on retirement without being replaced. Thus, two generations earning an average of between $ 40.00 and $ 25.00 per hour not to mention very high pension funds, and the other generations earning between $ 14.00 and $ 8.50 per hour often with no pension fund. The minimum wage was $ 8.50 per hour in countries where average cost of living is $ 20.00 per hour per person. Very modest Pension for the elderly forced them to live below poverty line. Inflation in these industrialized countries caused gab between social classes and indexation on the cost of life was horrible in terms of job losses in sectors that could not follow the rise in the minimum wage. This same inflation was even felt at an incredible multiple level in some third World countries, devastating their economies and creating deadly civil wars. Our governments and the whole panoply of experts that they have would have foreseen all the consequences of their actions and use a handful of their wealth to remedy that situation. But the gap between industrialized and third world countries increased disproportionately. Previously, third-world countries were paying $
5,000 for a vehicle, while after inflation; this same car will cost $ 25,000 with a capacity to generate the same tax revenue. Due to their selfishness, the surplus that they spend is reflected on their governmental and social policies in the Third World. As a result, 8 billion 5 persons in 1996 suffered from chronic malnutrition amongst whom were 200 million children and hunger has begun to affect our countries. In some countries, parents abandon their children because they are unable to feed them. And this leads unquestionably to human atrocities: experiments, organsř banks and others. If those same wealthy generations were not selfish, how many people on earth live in their best? I am convinced that nothing of what the Creator has given men is in surplus. If money owned by nations were well managed and wisely used, hunger would not affect children of God in the world.
b) Abortion
The murder of female Chinese children and the mixture of blood platelets in Asia, is possibly the greatest genocide of all ages. The statistics speak for themselves, even though I do not have the global figure, in the U.S alone, since our beloved governments legalized this murder, the figures have been alarming.

Here is the number 7 of lawful abortion carried out in the US between 1973 and 1992 since the government legalized abortion.
YEARS ABORTIONS
7 Statistics : Abortion-Related Deaths, 21 march 96.
1.157.776 1979 1.251.921 1980 1.297. 06 1981 1.300.760 1982-1984 3.906.488 1985-1987 4.010.353 1988 1.371.000 1989 1.397.000 1990 1.430.000 1991 1.389.000
It is true that these statistics speak for themselves, but in the United States, there are 100 lawful abortions per 1000 women aged between 15 and 44 who deliver. When one considers the fact that in a population of 230 million people, there are as many abortions, we begin to wonder what the global figures might be. Man through his legal institutions has taken upon himself the power of life or death over creatures who cannot express their rights.
But let us see what the Divine Creator thinks about abortion.
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! (Psalms 139:13-17)
S o, when I was just a formless mass, God loved me, and he had already determined my destiny. But man gave himself the power of life or death over Godřs creatures. As soon as I am conceived in the womb of my mother, I am a beloved creature of God, and He already knows all my days. The womanřs body belongs to her, and like all human beings, she is free to use it to meet her needs. However, if God decides to put a life in the womb of a woman, she has the social responsibility to carry that pregnancy to the end. If she does not want a child, she must take appropriate measures before life is implanted within her, and if despite all the steps taken, life is still implanted, she must only say: "The grace of God." As soon as the breath of life is engendered, this creature belongs to God, and Men are answerable to God. Taking the deliberate decision to end life is murder. If the woman is unable to carter for the newly born child, she can give him up for adoption, as was the case of Moses, so that the child will have the opportunity to build his life. Why destroy a life through murder just to satisfy oneřs selfishness?
c) Divination and magic
9 "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. 14 For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you. (Deuteronomy 18: 9-14)
If we go back to the context of these scriptures, we notice that when God swore to give the Promised Land to Moses, he made the declaration quoted above. In those days, because the Jews were the chosen people of God, if such practices took place, whoever perpetrated it was burnt to death. When Joshua conquered the Promised Land and while the Jewish people battled with the then rulers of Canaan, God ordered the Hebrews to kill all the inhabitants of these nations, men, women and children. And those who did not obey were stroke by God and they died on the spot. Furthermore, God did not want them to take any treasure because of such practices. Once the country was conquered, the booty was to be sanctified by God and later distributed to the people. Today it has become common to invoke the dead, draw lots with cards, read astrology, etc. But when these practices become regular, the person involved gets in contact with demons. It is neither the dead nor a soothsayer that the person consults, but a demon, it is not his future that is described but rather the life that the demon wants him to live. I'll stop here on this topic because I do not want you to think that I see demons everywhere; that would be wrong. But these sciences exist because demons or spirits are behind them.
d) Homosexuality
I will digress here to speak about homosexuality in men and women. It seems the city of San Francisco is full of homosexuals. You can find them at the town hall and in the most important administrative buildings and elsewhere. Montreal, St-Hubert and Papineau streets are crowded with homosexuals. That area is called "The Village". All forms of parades and social activities of all kinds take place there. There, you find meeting places and even special clubs for homosexuals. Do you not know that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of these sexual perversions?
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20: 13)
Today, gays and lesbians come to the television and declare publicly that (they) were born like that. Medical science attributes it to hormones and chromosomes. But the Bible (Romans 1:18-32) says: "we are not born homosexual, but we become homosexual." It's a perversion of the body and it is a sin of desire that leads to such action. The proof is that every man and every woman has got this thought one day, some fight it, and others give themselves up. Christ can deliver gays and lesbians from their passion if they request and come to Him.
e) False teachers
Jesus himself warns us against the scourge that shall be the portion of false teachers.
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. ( Matthew 24: 11)
Then, Paul reiterated the same warning.
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (1 Timothy 4:1-5)
Until the 1950s, apart from Christianity, there were practically no false doctrines in the United States. When the United States of America were formed, Americans submitted their country in the hands of Christ by having faith in Him. That is why the American people were blessed for generations. If the American people are so far from God today, itřs because the end of the world is near.
Several false religions have settled in the United States, seducing the youth. Here are a few: Buddhism, Muslim religions with Muhammad and Jainism, Tibetan religions with their various "gurus". There are also religious sects transmitting false doctrines: the children of God, followers of Rael with their extraterrestrial doctrine. Another very important phenomenon to me is the followers of Krishna. There are also pernicious religious sects that take their roots from Christianity such as the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists and Christian Science. The main objective of these sects is to blind those who believe in the wonderful character of Jesus Christ, without recognizing him as Lord and Saviour. All these sects based on the name of Jesus are meant to deprive Jesus Christ who came in human form 2000 years ago, of his divinity or salvation by grace, hence his saviour ministry. But I will give you more details as this chapter unfolds.
The most pernicious is undoubtedly that of the followers of Moon. 8 Reverend Sun Myung Moon was born on 6 January 1920 in North Korea in a village near Puong Tang. On one Easter Morning in 1936, Jesus appeared to him in a Vision, when he retired to the mountain to pray. His 9 mission: establish theocracy, and establish the Kingdom of God on earth before his death. Otherwise he would fail in his mission like Christ, two thousand years earlier. He is therefore the second Messiah. But is the Christian world waiting for a second Messiah? And did not God Himself tell men that all was accomplished by Christ and that his priesthood is everlasting?
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. (John 17:3-5)
Jesus Himself in his priestly prayer to the Father, and before giving up the ghost on the cross declares that all his work has been accomplished. Moreover, the last quotation in John 17: 5 demonstrates without any shadow of a doubt the divinity of Jesus in the Trinity.
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. (John 19: 30) 8 Summarized Biography of Reverend Sun Myung Moon by Damian Anderson and Jean-Philippe Odent HYPERTEXTLINK http://lx1.ettl.co.at//uc//french/life/biogr2.html _http : / / lx1.ettl.co.at / / uc / / French/life/biogr2.html_, September 1, 1997. 9 The Moon Empire by Jean-François Boyer, La Découverte Editions, 1 Place Paul-Painlevé V PARIS, 1986, page
This is what the Bible says bout His non-transferable and everlasting priesthood:
… 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek' 22 by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. 23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them (Hebrews 7: 21 - 25) And
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace… (Hebrews 13:8-9)
Jesus does not and will NEVER have a successor and his ministry will NEVER be changed. What needs to be accomplished is written in the Bible, His Word, it is the Will of God. As can be seen from scriptures, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, by proclaiming himself the second messiah, is guilty of deception according to the Word of God. For this reason, he is a false messiah. During summer in 1951, Sun Myung Moon began his false ministry in Seoul where the Unification Church was founded on 1 May, 1954. He quickly won the full confidence of his disciples and followers through very doubtful methods: 10 deception on the nature, purpose
10 Les nouvelles sectes (The new sects) by Alain Woodrow on page 106 to 108. Full text Deception about the nature, purpose and functioning of the movement . Those contacted by the Moonies are never informed during their adhesion, of the real goals of the organization or activities, or even the existence of its founder. They tell lies right from the beginning. Brain-washing : It is a scientifically developed technique, purely psycho-physiological, not leaving any physical evidence or even no memory in the minds of converts. Psychological terror : When a faithful wants to break away, they tell him "if you leave us, you will be tortured or you will die." This is done in various ways, the cardinal statement printed in the minds of the young disciple. In practice, old "pioneers" who left the organization have given testimony about their struggle to come out from the "family" because they feel pursued by Satan. Because of this, a good number of them were admitted into psychiatric hospitals. There are many cases on this subject covered by medical secrecy . Break-up of family ties: The faithful is made to understand that he is "pure", or will become pure, while those who remain outside are subject to original sin, resulting from the fornication of Eve with Satan. The disciple must therefore adopt real parents (Moon and his wife) through two young people from the group who are the representatives, "the mother and spiritual father." He must nevertheless try to convert his Satanic parents (canal and functioning of the movement, brainwashing, psychological terror and break-up of family ties. Methods of indoctrination are those applied in other sects: sleep deprivation; food with less protein content; solitary confinement and break-up with the former denomination; continual occupation, brainwashing, which ends up developing a guilt complex maintained by the fear of displeasing Moon, ie, God since they believe he is the second Messiah. Moon alone can free them from the devil and hell; the fear is very strongly maintained among the faithful. On top of this are long work hours without pay and begging in public. Added to these are some refinements peculiar to this sect: frequent trips, confiscation of shoes inside the halls, encouraging followers to refrain from urinating for as long as possible, ostensibly to prove their resistance to Satan. Whereas on the contrary, rising rates of urea in the body instead decreases mental and physical strength. At this rate, if you're a young woman, you lose your menstruation. See how children are eliminated for sects. Once the faithful is completely under his power, the church through all deception convinces its vassal to hand over his property.This is how the Unification Church led by Sun Myung Moon, acquired wealth. The watchword of the Church was to absorb the elites, the wealthy of the society, the healthy population, but not to waste time with patients and the disabled. Being a clever businessman, Moon 11 diversified his church as well as his financial empire in several communities: fisheries, defense, media, pharmacy, florists, clothing, national brokerage firm, catering, funds and others. According to Moses Durst, the fiery president of The American Church, married to a Korean, said in 1984 that the different properties of the church in the world raise an annual income of 500 million dollars, among the fifty leading companies of the world. His empire was formed because his followers were ignorant of the Holy Scriptures. They accepted a false god, "Moon", who diverted the faith to his advantage and committed the following crimes: violations of individual liberties, kidnapping, tax evasion, and breach of employment law. The majority of his followers worked for little pay and sometimes without pay. On the pretext of anti-communism, given that it was indeed the goal pursued by Moon, our governments of the sixties, seventies and early eighties, accepted and covered the actions of Moon before public opinion did interfere. The 12 C.I.A, 13 Nixonřs administration,
ones), but if he fails, he has to separate from them, or break-up ties.

14 Reaganřs administration, 15 Valery Giscard d'Estaingřs administration, 16 Trumanřs administration and Eisenhowerřs administration all protected Sun Myung Moon, and accepted his crimes against civilians. So many lives ruined, families impoverished by donations to the family patrimony and especially social acceptance not to defend Christ and His Word of truth, the basis of American Faith. Prominent and outstanding Christian personalities in America with religious books to their credit even protected Moon against the American Constitution. They failed to use the truth to fight against falsehood. As you can see, very powerful false teachers exist. Besides, if we look at recent yearsř statistics, we will realize that false doctrines are constantly growing: Order of the Solar Temple, New Age and others. Meanwhile the Church of Christ is regressing; soon the salt of the earth will be minority.
SECTION 2 – Prophecies directed to the Jewish people before the Rapture of the Church.
1) Scattered among nations
The first sign that Jesus Himself gave was the destruction of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 AD. At this point in history, Jews were dispersed among nations as was predicted in Leviticus because they rejected the Son of God.
I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you; your land shall be desolate and your cities waste…You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. (Leviticus 26: 33-38, written 1300 years before JC)
14 The Moon Empire by Jean-François Boyer, La Découverte Editions, 1986, p. 188-189. 15 The Moon Empire by Jean-François Boyer, La Découverte Editions, 1986, page 10. 16 The Moon Empire by Jean-François Boyer, La Découverte Editions, 1986, page 129.
These verses explain the great suffering of the Jewish people during the two thousand years of exile meted on Israel as punishment. Hitler was a Ŗfanŗ of occultism and Satan has always tried to destroy and ruin the Jewish people. In Egypt during the Old Testament, Satan knew that the Saviour was to come from this people. During the 1939-1945 war, he tried to destroy the Jewish race completely because he knew that during his reign, the Jewish people would be the only people who would not humble themselves and will rather turn to Christ, the only Lord and Saviour. Thus, we see that the Antichrist will attempt to ruin the Jewish people during the tribulation to upset God's plan for the millennium. Whatever God establishes, Satan tries to destroy all of it.
a) History of the Jewish people
Never in the history of humanity, was a people so oppressed. If we divide the following statistics by two, it would still be difficult to explain the survival of this great nation. Look at the statistics:
Years after Jesus Christ Events 17 18 70 1,337,000 Jews killed under Titus 135 585 killed 680 Euric wanted their total destruction and there are no statistics The Crusaders The Israelites were massacred on the pretext that they were deicidal. 1096 12 000 killed in Germany 1215 Bloodshed and unprecedented slaughter 1290 Excommunication of all Jews from England under penalty of hanging; readmission of Jews 370 years later 1298 140 Jewish communities were destroyed 1306 Excommunication of 100,000 Jews from France under

death threats 1348 8000 Jews were burnt, 300 communities were exterminated 1360 200 families murdered 1366 10 000 killed in Spain 1391 56.000 killed in Spain 1492 The Spanish hunting Inquisition of 300 000 Jews 1648 200 000 killed in Ukraine 1654 400 000 killed in Russia 1881 1500 Jewish families destroyed in Poland 1919 30,000 Jews slaughtered in Ukraine and Poland 1939 - 1945 6 million killed by Hitler 1960 - 1984 Repression in U.R.S.S., no statistics
Sooner or later, nations, who drew swords against the Jewish people, will pay for their dishonorable act before God (if they have not yet done so). Letřs hope that Canada and the United States will never draw their sword against the people of God.
Unfortunately, the Word of God, the Bible, tells us that during the Great Tribulation two third (2 / 3) of the Jews will perish (Zechariah 13: 8). The Jews are warned not to flee to Jerusalem, or to the cities. Those in Judea must flee into the mountains (Matthew 24: 16, Luke 21: 21). Finally a third (1/3) remaining shall invoke the name of God (Zechariah 13: 9) and will have Jesus Christ as Prince during the Millennium (Revelation 1: 5, Revelation 20: 6, Ezekiel Chapter 40-48, Zechariah 12: 10, Zechariah 9 :9-11).
b ) Restoration of Israel
All prophecies shall be fulfilled. In this vein, in May 15, 1948, the state of Israel was proclaimed. Finally, after two thousand years of absence from their country, Jews began to reconquer Israel after the Second World War. It was not without difficulty because at the time, nations were not happy about this situation. Here is a passage from the Bible proving these facts:
16 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity. 18 Therefore I poured out My fury on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it. 19 So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds. 20 When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name--when they said of them, 'These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land.' 21 But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went. 22 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord God: "I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. 23 And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord," says the Lord God, "when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. 25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. (Ezekiel 36 16-30)
The fulfillment of this prophecy was to begin in 1948. Unfortunately, as said in Ezekiel 39: 28-29, not all the Jews will return home, but when Jesus Christ, King of Judah will reign during the Millennium, this prophecy will be complete:
then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,' says the Lord God.
19 Falachas, an ancient Jewish tribe found in Ethiopia was repatriated to Israel in 1985. When the Eastern bloc opened its doors in the late 80s, then part of the prophecy necessary for the Rapture of the Church was completed. Currently, the Jews have not yet recognized Jesus as Son of God. The spirit of God will be spread unto the house of Israel and then the Jewish people will finally recognize their Saviour in the person of Jesus Christ.
When part of the Jewish people entered Palestine in 1948, a country formerly given by God to their fathers, in the days of Moses, this was the fulfillment of another prophecy. They had to face hostility on the ground from Arab nations. As God had said, the country was a desert.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have made the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.ŗř (Ezekiel 33: 29)

c) The return of Israel to his country
On 14 May 1948, the day Israel declared its sovereignty, Arab nations attacked this small state. Here are the forces that went to battle 20 : Egypt 288 000 Libya 15 000 Algeria 57 000 Saudi Arabia 36 000 Jordan 60 250 Iraq 94 600 Syria 86 750 Lebanon 16 250
Total for Arab nations 653 000 soldiers Israel 75 000 soldiers
In less than a day,
21 a population of 650 000 Jews defeated over forty million men of the Arab League. They became masters of a territory of 20,000 sq km from Galilee to the Negev in the south. The following day, May 15, 1948, the Jews proclaimed the State of Israel but Arab nations did not intend to stop there.
d) The Sinai War in 1956
Egypt, 22 armed to the teeth by the Soviet Union was preparing for a confrontation with Israel at the Sinai Peninsula. Israel attacked first; and conquered part of the Sinai Peninsula and successfully denationalized the Suez Canal to open a sea route through the Gulf of Aqaba. 20 Focus on the World of Tomorrow by Willard Cantelon, Editor R. LEBEL, 5 Allee Baco, 44 Nantes, page 77. Full translation. 21 The Return of Jesus Christ by Rene Pache, Emmaus Edition, 1806 St. Legier Vevey, Switzerland, ccp 10-3147, Pages 274-275. Text. 22 The Return of Jesus Christ by Rene Pache, Emmaus Edition, 1806 St. Legier Vevey, Switzerland, ccp 10-3147, page 275-276. Text.
Israel added to his military arsenal, 120 tanks, 60 T-30, SU 100, 1200 cars and trucks, 70 000 tires and 8000 tons of ammunition. On November 4, 1956, when the cease-fire was announced, the losses incurred by Israel amounted to 174 killed and 1 prisoner; that of Egypt amounted to 1000 dead and 6000 prisoners. But this victory only increased the hostility of Arab nations.
e) The six-day war in 1967
In 1967 23 , the Six-Day War took place and Israel took possession of almost all the country once given to their fathers. All Arab countries were backed by U. S.S.R. Israel was only equipped with ŖJeep" and "bazookas". However, here are the forces present:
Arab nations Israel
472 000 soldiers 264 000 soldiers 2380 tanks 800 tanks 848 aircraft 300 aircraft
In less than six days, Israel was victorious in addition to expanding its borders; full occupation of the Sinai Sharm El Cheilkh with, the entire East bank of the Suez Canal, Gaza and its territory, the old city of Jerusalem from the west bank of the Jordan and the massif of Golan Syria. Total loss incurred in June 10, 1967: 24 20 000 deaths for Arab nations, 679 for Israel. But the prophecy was not fully realized! Nevertheless, Ezekiel 32 warns Arab nations not to attack Israel.
f) The Yom Kippur War
On October 6, 1973, 25 Egypt and Syria attacked Israel to recover territories conquered during the Six-Day War. After suffering a crushing offensive, the Jewish state continued to have

LEBEL, 5 Allee Baco, 44 Nantes, page 78. Text. 25 The Return of Jesus Christ by Rene Pache, Emmaus Edition, 1806 St. Legier Vevey, Switzerland, ccp 10-3147, Page 279-280. Text.
advantage over the West Bank of the Suez Canal, Golan Heights and Hermon up to 40 km from Damascus. The last war came to fulfill most of the prophecies made 600 years before Jesus Christ:
For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. (Ezekiel 36:24)
The Jews had just almost entirely reclaimed the land that God had once given to their fathers. With the opening of the eastern bloc, you need to see how the Jews in exile were returning on a voluntary basis or by mutual agreement to Israel. But the Great Architect of this world knows how his plans will be achieved. Moreover, the unification of Israel and the recovery of all its borders could be done during the Great Tribulation and at the beginning of the millennium.
2) The period of prosperity
Now that Israel regained Jerusalem and much of the Promised Land, the country has become a garden and the wilderness has disappeared, as God said:
So they will say, 'This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.' (Ezekiel 36:35)
Israel today is among the countries exporting fruits in the world. Currently, this prophecy is being fulfilled.
Now, what must happen - and the process has already begun - is that Israel will turn to Jesus Christ. This will occur when the church will be raptured and the Antichrist come to power. The world government will be established. It has been noticed that the Jewish culture is revoltingly changing. Never in two thousand years, was the name of Jesus of Nazareth ever pronounced. But, in recent years, Jews, and especially their intellectuals like poets, writers and singers, talk about Jesus and ask this question: "And you tell me my sweet Jesus; say you were not God ehŗ. The awakening has now begun; it is only a matter of following the process.
During the tribulation, the Antichrist will come upon Israel, kill two thirds of the Jews and try to destroy the race, like Hitler, to change the plan instituted by God (see chapter II). Remember this phrase: " And shall intend to change times and law ." (Daniel 7:25)
3) Egypt
700 years before Christ, the Bible, tells us, through Prophet Isaiah:
5 The waters will fail from the sea, And the river will be wasted and dried up. 6 The rivers will turn foul; The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; The reeds and rushes will wither. 7 The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more. 8 The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River, And they will languish who spread nets on the waters. (Isaiah 19: 5-8)
Currently, Egypt is facing these difficulties. Aswan Dam hinders the monsoon from fertilizing the land on the banks of the Nile. 26 In short, there is erosion along the River bed and irrigation canals. The Nile flows faster and digs a bed of 1.7 cm per year. On the coast, there is significant marine erosion to the extent that silty provision can no longer fill the gap. Finally, there is general rising water tables, and the water level is not only on the rise, but it is also stable throughout the year. Upwelling makes it difficult to ensure sanitation in large urban markets. It also leads to a worsening Schistosomiasis among fellahs who spend much of their time in irrigation canals (Blood flukes, parasitic worms that can only be destroyed by prolonged drying, at least three weeks of irrigation canals). It causes drainage problems and leads to a salt-land: 2.5 million feddans have been touched (35% of farmland). The
consequences of the recent drought clearly show this. East Africa from 1979 to 1988
26 Aggregation of Geography 1996 by Georges Mutin, 1996 agreg-geo96@iepserv.univ-lyon2.fr, September 12, experienced below average rainfall. Water supplies from the Nile were insufficient and it was necessary to draw from the reserves of Lake Nasser. In 1984, without reserves from Lake Nasser, flood would have caused the irrigation of 5 million feddans out of the 11 million harvested. This problem hampers the future; there is a downward trend in the supply of water from the Nile. Would it be due to the existence of the Aswan Dam? Man does not master this unusual natural happening; God alone knows the outcome in His Creation. Naturally, the reader will probably guess that the increasing salinity of water from the river increases the acidity. Lack of potable water supply provoked by this acidity therefore causes the death of fish. Thus, the fisherman and the farmer are lamenting.
But you can bet with me, throughout its history, Egypt knew good times and peak periods. How can we say that these words are for our time? Letřs revisit chapter 19 of Isaiah which says:
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. (Isaiah 19:19)
Certain Bible version said: monument. In his Vision, Isaiah said: "A monument, pillar or altar to the Lord because it served the designs of the Lord.ŗ but how could Isaiah have invented the word "dam", since this word and its representation were unknown in his time? Here, the signs give reason to believe that it could have been the Aswan Dam on the Nile. However, the Aswan dam is not located on the border of Saudi Arabia. Isaiah prophesied clearly about the boundaries that will be established during the Millennium Stage. Since the altar of Jehovah does not exist in the midst of Egypt, could this geographical division be established during the Millennium? Lake Nasser could extend to the boundary in the latter days. Given its Strategic position in agricultural development regrouping all countries that the Nile bathes, it could be declared (IW) international water to avoid conflicts. Then, the contour of Lake Nasser's Aswan Dam could become, at the Millennium, the new frontier of Egypt. This is my humble opinion.
PART THREE - The formation of the satanic bloc
In this part of the chapter, we will take an in-depth look at the formation of satanic trinity and its components shall be identified, in the light of the prophecies.
1) The Satanic Trinity
Never in my youth, would I have thought that a satanic trinity could exist one day. Unfortunately, Satan is the ape of God. It is therefore natural that he establishes the diabolical plan of his reign by imitating God. Here is how trinity shall comprise: First, there will be son of Satan (Thessalonians 2: 3). Personally, I think he is born. It is not impossible that his power ends at 66 years, curiously, a doubling of 33 years, the age at which Christ was crucified. This person was probably conceived by Satan and carried by a woman. Thus, we have the son, the spirit of Satan which dwells in him and Satan would be his father. This sad prospect is obviously a biblical reality, so, this lying beast will rule over a world government.
2) Components of the satanic bloc
At this juncture, I would like to draw the readerřs attention to the fact that, the goal of this book is not to summarize prophetic books especially the apocalyptic prophecies. The only truth lies fully in the sacred books, it is left to the reader to verify and read. Also, if I omit a word, a comma, an event, if I make chronological mistakes, if I have misinterpreted or omitted something when transcribing and commenting on the sacred text, I do not in any way fall under the circumstances of the punishment described in Revelation 22:18-19 or other books of the Bible. Quotations from Prophetic books used are aimed at educating the reader and guiding him in the main events that form the Tribulation. The only true book is the Bible and all its contents. What I understand is that I wanted to root out the verses just as in the Bible to attach to this book. But in course of typing, I might have made an error, so only the full verse of the Bible is true and valid. The Lord Jesus did not appear to me. The information I provide, supported by various citations in the prophetic books, are the ideas and design of writings that are made by the major Christian scholars of our time, they remain prone to error. Here, it is a question of who is intelligent and wise.
The various components forming the satanic reign are for some easily identifiable, and for others difficult to perceive. Letřs look at them in the light of prophecies.
Without further ado, I present the satanic entities. This tragedy in the history of Man will be caused in part by the latterřs religious blindness. Many people who consider themselves as believers, (whether practicing or not), will be seduced because they shall have followed a Christian religion instead of reading the Word of God. All those who shall still be on earth after the rapture of the Church will be in doctrinal error vis-à-vis the Grace of Christ and shall be subject to new regulations for the Lordřs salvation. So it is not for nothing that Christ gave us the order to read the signs of time and watch.
Parable of the Ten Virgins
1 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. (Matthew 25:1-13)
This phenomenon of apostasy shall mainly be amplified by the disappearance of the Universal Church of Christ, that is to say, the true Christians in the Lord during the Rapture of the Church. Moreover, the Holy Spirit will stop work immediately after the Rapture. One of the roles of the Holy Spirit is to convince men of their sinfulness and lead them to Christ on the cross. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:7)
The mystery of iniquity will act in a very powerful way through the world religion. The Bible says in Matthew 24:24 that many people will be seduced.
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
These words encourage us to be cautious. It is not surprising that nations shall be cajoled and will accept the Antichrist as god. But watch more carefully the characters in this drama and try to identify them in order to better contextualize the reality of our time. The Bible says:
Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand), (Matthew24:15) And 26 But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever. 27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him (Daniel 7:26-28)
Similarly, the Revelation says:
7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." 15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." (Revelation 17:7-18)
This is how various Christian scholars interpret these prophecies written in two separate periods by Daniel and John, the Lord's servants. At the time of grace, the church is the bride of Christ and the Holy Spirit is watching over her. The Father is the head of Christ.
Satan, the Monkey god for his own part shall have the prostitute or the Satanic Church. But she is a prostitute in God's eyes although she has always declared herself for him. Apparently, the beast is a kingdom and a King; Satan is the spirit of the plot of human will and the master of the Antichrist. When John prophesied the Revelation, Israel and all Judea were under Roman influence. But at that time, Roman soldiers wore a 27 medallion having the effigy of a woman sitting on seven mountains, Revelation 5:18 revealed to us that it is a City: Woman sitting on seven hills has always represented the city of Rome.
And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17: 18)
This empire shall scatter the Jewish people throughout the nations but after that, it shall lose its power and disappear. It shall reappear when the Jews will return to their country. It is possible that this conqueror is known to men.
The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Revelation 17: 8)
It is believed that the European Union is equivalent to the old Roman Empire whose designs are same. But it is possible that this Empire be formed by all the INTERNATIONAL ILLUMINATIS. The prophetic passage of Revelation 17:9-11 seems not yet understood by
27 The return of Jesus Christ by Rene Pache, Emmaus Editions, 1806 St. Legier Vevey, page 187. Full text. Throughout history, some commentators have seen in Chapter 17 of the Revelation a reference to the Church whose centre is in Rome. Among them are not only Protestants writers, but even Catholic authors before and after the Reformation. By the time John wrote, what was this great capital if not Rome? If he gave it the mystical name of Babylon, it is first as a recall of the great struggle that was put to seize the Old Testament Babylon and Jerusalem; it is also a precaution because it would have been foolhardy to say such things openly concerning the mighty city, the pride of the Romans. The capital of the world based on seven Hills is unquestionably Rome. Curiously, imperial medals of that era, accurately representing Rome, were found in the guise of a woman sitting on seven hills. For centuries Latin poets called it "the city of seven hills". Now anyone who knows the history of the papacy knows that the latter is inconceivable without its headquarters in Rome, where it has been established for about 1500 years.
various Christian scholars. Shall it be the kings of Europe, influential men in the world; people invisible to the media but having a real power on earth?
9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. (Revelation 17:9-11)
The ancient Roman Empire is characterized by ten kings who will present their authority and power to the beast or the Antichrist.
The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. (Revelation 17: 12)
It will not necessarily be the same countries of the former Roman Empire, but the strategic religious core of the false prophet shall emerge from the city of Rome and they will have the same attitude towards Israel and the saints.
3) Analogies between the Universal Church and the satanic Church
When I use the term "church", I mean the universal Church of Christ, that is to say true believers. They may be found among Catholics, evangelicals, Pentecostals, Baptists, Protestants. In short, in all Christian denominations, and those who worship Jesus Christ in a personal and sincere manner even without attending church. Here, it is not a matter of following a religion but to know that Christ died for the forgiveness of our sins and receive him in our hearts as Lord and Saviour and Son of God. Obviously, when I talk about receiving
Christ, I mean accepting him to take our place on the cross and bear our sins. We therefore accept his atoning sacrifice for us personally.
At the beginning of the Revelation, Apostle John prophesied on seven churches. Personally, I believe it is the leadership of each of the churches which make up the Universal Church of Christ. Curiously, the head of the Seventh Church would be rejected by Jesus Christ. The only thing that can make God to reject a church is its failure to correctly convey the message of salvation by the grace obtained through Christ.
The Seventh letter to the Church of Laodicea
14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked-- (Revelation 3:14-17)
If the interpretation of the woman sitting on seven hills or mountains is correct, then the prostitute should be in Rome. Is the pope not substituting Jesus in his priesthood with his doctrine of Infallibility? Does he not act as the High Priest for the sins of the faithful, if we understand the Catholic religion? Naturally, if a faithful of this Church from the depth of his mind and heart goes to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his sins and personally accept His atoning sacrifice, he will be saved. But it should be admitted that the Roman Catholic Church does not teach the glory of Christ, but rather that of the Pope in its sacraments and rituals.
On the contrary, the Church of Philadelphia is the weakest but most loved because she kept the word. The Apostolic Church is made up of several churches but without any headquarter. They are focused on the Word of God, on salvation in Jesus Christ by grace, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them and seriously embarking on the evangelical role of the church. Pastors like Rex Humbard, Billy Graham and several others have expensive television programmes which save many souls and many donations are collected. These donations must be wisely managed to the glory of Christ. However, what would happen if one of these pastors offers himself a good salary from the donations received? May be nothing will happen but for the fact that the church would have less money for evangelization. As for the personal work of this minister, God shall perceive him differently during judgment when he will be tested by fire (1 Corinthians 3:1-15). But, what if a pastor preached for pride? The only way to preach pride is to keep away the faithful from the Word of God, for the Bible gives no room for human pride. That is how Reverend Jim Jones got his collective suicide, and today many have created religious Christian sects. But let us closely examine some of these sects like the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and the Seventh-day Adventists.
a) The Jehovah's Witnesses
The 28 founder is called Charles Taze Russell, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 16 February, 1852, second son of a wealthy Presbyterian family of Scottish-Irish clothiers. From a young age, dissatisfied with the Presbyterian Church, he joined a Congregational Church. At the age of nine, he lost his mother, an event that plunged him into a spiritual crisis even though short-lived. He started questioning his faith, studied various Eastern religions and became sceptical. At the age of 17, concerned with the problem of human destiny and judgment, he joined a youth organization, the Young Men's Christian Association. In early 1870, a Bible study group of Adventist trend was formed in Allegheny at the outskirts of his hometown. Russell joined this group, where he acquired the firm conviction of being the only believer able to understand the entire Bible. On July 1, 1879 he launched The Zion Watchtower and Messenger of Christ’s Presence with 6000 copies. To sell his literature and to ensure the predominance of his doctrine on the Bible, he created in January 1881; the Watchtower Society whose Headquarter was to be in Brooklyn in the state of New York as from 1897. In 1906, after 27 years of marriage, Russell's wife divorced him because of the pride and selfishness of her husband and his misconduct towards other women. Russell died October 31, 1916, in a train between San Francisco and New York, during a lecture tour.

During his lifetime he covered nearly 1.5 million kilometres. At his death, 25,000 disciples followed his teachings. He was succeeded by Joseph Franklin Rutherford as the second President. The latter was born November 8, 1869 at Bonneville Missouri, in a Baptist family. He was Russellřs collaborator since 1907 and also the printing manager of the Organisation. This great business man was much more dynamic than Russell. Rutherford made a lot of propaganda, trying to supersede his predecessorřs literature by replacing them with his own. Finally, it would be fair to say that Rutherford is the true founder of Jehovah's Witnesses. One finds it difficult to believe that a Baptist would abandon the notion of salvation and the divinity of Jesus which is very much present in the Baptist Church. Rutherford might have deliberately obscured the salvation and Divinity of Jesus and interpreted the 144 000 Jewish messengers (virgins) redeemed from the tribulation as those of grace. Although Jehovahřs Witnesses consider this era as that of tribulation, the Watchtower Society has attacked the Holy Trinity, by considering Christ as a mere creation, thereby permanently obscuring salvation to their followers. Whereas the Bible clearly teaches that Christ is God (e.g. Isaiah 9 :5-6, Apoc. 1: 8, John 5 :17-19, John 11: 27, Revelation. 21: 6, John 1: 1, John 1 :12-18, John 3: 2, John 3: 21, John 13: 3, Col 2: 9, 1 John 5: 20, Heb 1 :8-9, John 8: 58, John 10: 30, John 17 : 5, John 20: 28, Rom 9: 5, Phil 2: 6, Titus 2: 13, Luke 24: 52, Heb 1: 6, etc..) And that the Holy Spirit is a person of the deity (e.g. John 14: 16, John 15: 26, Act 5: 3, Act 13: 2, Heb 3: 7, etc..).
In the 40s, the Watchtower society, apparently embarrassed by the many biblical passages that are contrary to their teachings, decided to publish a Bible in line with their doctrine under the name New World Translation of the Bible which contains hundreds of intentional errors to justify the false doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses. All renowned 29 personalities of the past in the field of Bible translation vigorously condemned this translation and Bible version. Just to name a few, Professors HH Rowley, AA Hoekema, Walter R. Martin, J. M. Nicole, F. Godin, P. LeFort, Julius Mantley, Bruce M. Metzger, Samuel Mikolaski, Paul Kaufman, etc... Naturally, this Bible is not sold at the bookstore, because it was not recognized as such. On the contrary, any other user version of the Bible can be bought at a very low price in any bookstore. It is very difficult to argue with a Jehovah's Witness, the Watchtower Society forbids them to read books other than those of the society. Whenever they visit us, they are 29 The errors and lies of the Society of Jehovah's Witnesses brought to light with the help of the Bible by Christian Piette, Bethel Publishing, PO Box 1600, Pages 172-176. Text.
often two or three, well prepared, to attack us by citing verses that alter the divinity of Christ. If someone is not well prepared or lacks a perfect mastery of the Bible, he may not be able to defend himself against their arguments. One day I received Jehovah's Witnesses in my home and I answered them from the Scriptures. The younger of the two who visited me began to change his mind about the Watchtower and the Divinity of Jesus Christ. As soon as the elder realized it, he apologized politely and they left. Statistics show that there are 4,914,094 members of the sect who have been held captive by the Watchtower Society.
b) The Mormons
The 30 Founder is called Joseph Smith, born December 23, 1805 in Sharon, the United States. He is third of nine children of a Presbyterian agrarian family. In the spring of 1820, God and Jesus Christ appeared to him to tell him that all churches of this era are in error. On 21 September 1823, Angel Maroni asked him to look for a book written on golden plates; two stones and a breastplate "Urim" and "Thummim" which will be useful for the translation of the plates. The angel specifically instructed that the valuables must not be shown to anybody. On 22 September, 1827 on the hill of Cumorah, near Manchester in New York, he discovered plates covered with characters of an unknown reformed Egyptian language. With the help of Martin Harris and Oliver Cowdery, they were translated into English before an angel came and took them back. This translation is the famous Book of Mormon , published in 1830. On 18 January 1827, he married his first wife, Emma Hale. This marriage was followed by 22 others. Jailed in Carthage, Illinois, he was shot with a gun by a mob, on 27 June, 1844 at the age of 39. After his death, the sect was in a state of confusion. On 21 July 1847, carpenter Brigham Young gathered a bulk of the disciples, and drove them right up to Salt Lake City, in the state of Utah. The city has since then become the world headquarter of the sect. From 1859 to 1869, the entire state of Utah was handed over to the Mormons. On 25 September 1890, Wilford Woodruff, president of the Church abolished polygamy. It is impossible to state all the doctrinal errors and dissenting views of Mormonism. However, I will present the main ones. The faith of this sect is based on the Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of great price. Their faith is also based, on the many 30 Sects Exposed by Gerard Dagon Barnabas Publishing, 19, avenue Georges Landry, 14430, Dozule ISBN 2- 908582-17-1, Volume 1, Pages 103-111 Full text from these pages confessions, successive and continuous revelations during the days of their various leaders. According to the sect, the Book of Mormon is a continuation of the Bible, but this statement sharply contradicts Revelation 22: 18. In many respects the book of Mormon and the many revelations contradict the Bible. Examples abound: polygamy, priesthood of Aaron and Melchizedek, baptism of the dead, constitution of Godřs body, continuation of apostle and prophet in the church, General salvation to all mankind, Jesus visited America, the New Jerusalem is Salt Lake City. This sect obscures salvation to its faithful through the theology of God who became man so that man should become god. It is a blasphemy that has nothing to do with biblical incarnation. Were the appearances seen by Joseph Smith not of Satan as stated in 2 Corinthians 11: 14 and Galatians 1:6-9? Statistics show that the sect has over 8,406,895 members.
c) The Seventh Day Adventists
The 31 Co-founder of this sect is called William Miller. He was born on 15 February, 1782 in Pittsfield. He is particularly noted for his great zeal in studies. He is the eldest of six children of a pious and modest Baptist family. From 15 September 1815, he preached at the Baptist Church of Low Hampton. Passionate about the teaching on the Return of Jesus Christ, after some clever calculation he concluded that Jesus will return on October 22, 1844, a stance which sharply contrasts with the Bible in Matthew 24: 36. On 13 August, 1831, he revealed the date. In 1833 he became pastor of the Baptist Church at Low Hampton. At that time, the doctrine of the impending Return of Jesus Christ was so present and so much on demand by some believers that they were called "Milleritesŗ. With this failure, in October 22 1844, William Miller and his associates admitted their sin of pride and the movement practically disappeared. In 1845, Miller and 50 000 Millerites were excommunicated from their various churches. Then that same year, he put an end to the Millerite movement, probably aware that his sin of pride had just created a vacuum in a cult. He died on 20 December 1849.
After seeing a vision on 23 October 1844, a man named Hiriam Edson declared that the expected coming of Christ the previous day is not the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, but the
31 Sects Exposed by Gerard Dagon Barnabas Publishing, 19, avenue Georges Landry, 14430, Dozule ISBN 2- 908582-17-1, Volume 2, Pages 7-32 Full text of these pages.
entry thereof in the terminal phase of his priestly ministry that the Bible calls the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary. It is a new phase of the mission of salvation for humanity, the final phase of Christ's ministry, i.e. the investigation to determine who benefits from his Grace. Of course the reader must have discerned that the Bible does not speak about any of these allegations, it is just an opportunist who took advantage of the pride of the disappointed Millerites to continue to promote the movement at the level of some faithful who preferred to believe anything instead of admitting their original mistake in Matthew 24: 36. Consequently, despite the abolition of the Millerite movement in 1845, some activists continued to promote it. This concept of an investigative judgment jeopardizes salvation by Grace. Moreover, it is probably for this reason that William Miller dismissed the theory and subsequently terminated the Millerite movement.
Ellen G. White is co-founder of this organisation. Born in Gorham on 26 November, 1827, into a Methodist family of eight children, she was hit on the nose by a stone at the age of nine and she remained unconscious for three weeks. Thereafter, her health remained fragile. Helen was converted in March 1840 during a camp and was baptized. She attended Millerřs conferences and withdrew from the Methodist Church in 1843. On 30 August 1846, she married the Millerite or Adventist preacher James White. She was rewarded with about 2000 visions and revelations. The vision of April 7, 1847 invited her to return to the observance of Saturday as the Sabbath. She wrote 71 books, 4500 articles, over a thousand letters, numbering up to 45,000 pages. In 1855, James and Helen White built a house in Battle Creek which became the first headquarters of the Adventist Church, and then on 21 May 1863, in Battle Creek, 125 local churches, being a total of 3,500 members, officially organized the Seventh-day Adventist Church. James White died on 6 August 1881, but Helen continued his mission. Even though many of their teachings are in perfect accord with the Bible, there are others which contradict the Holy Scriptures. This is mainly due to the revelations of Helen White such as the Sabbath, the theory of death, purification of the sanctuary, the seventh day Adventist Church as the only true and faithful church. Although the fact that one is pro- Helene White or pro-Christ does not veil salvation, and that many born-again Adventists who have deep love for the Lord and His Word are our brothers and sisters in the Lord, the fact remains that as long as the writings of Helene White are considered by the congregation as revelations, which she personally recommended, we must consider this denomination that deviated from the Baptists Methodists church as a sect. Besides, the revelations of Helen
White sharply contrast with the Bible in Deuteronomy 4: 2, Deuteronomy 12: 32, Proverbs 30: 6, 2 Corinthians 10: 8. The first alleged error of the Adventists is their much emphasis on the works of Helene White. Today, it is an established fact that "this messenger of God" embarked on a wide scale shameless plagiarism of sixty authors. She inherited the historical, scientific, medical and theological errors of the works which she looted. The Adventist Historian Ronald Numbers, in his book Prophetess of Health: A Study of Ellen G. White, and the Adventist Pastor Walter Rea in The White Lie, amply demonstrates this sad fact.
Desmond Ford, a professor of Australian Adventist theology, shows that the conception of the sanctuary proposed by Helene White to explain the debacle of October 22, 1844 is in contradiction with the Bible. The concept of an investigative judgment jeopardizes salvation by Grace. Although the profession of faith of the Church does not place the writings of Helene White above the Bible, We see an ambiguity to be resolved vis-à-vis the biblical text. Ostensibly, there is a debate in the sect notably between the pro-Helene White and her writings and revelations, and those who are pro-Bible. It is obvious that the writings and revelations of Helen White are biased for all souls wishing to follow this path. Moreover, the sect by its doctrinal weakness opens door to a host of false teachers, those wishing to separate many² of the believers from the true salvation by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Present in 208 countries, the Seventh Day Adventists currently has 8,608,586 members, not counting about 17 million young people yet to be baptized or other supporters.
d) How to choose a Church
Personally, to better situate the reader, I attend an Evangelical church, once in a fortnight and I spend the rest of my time in prayers and in studying the Word of God. Congregations like Evangelical, Baptist, Pentecostal and Protestant give an identical message of salvation on Jesus Christ. In each church, it depends on the leader who chooses the type of Biblical message to convey to his followers. Anyway, I do not know any man who directly communicates with God, and who then can say, "God says." It is impossible, because the Word of God is complete today. And this is what Jesus Himself says about it.
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (John 12: 48)
The only way to be sure that one is well informed is to read the Bible, the Word of God and know the revelations. Never follow man but God alone. In my church, it is difficult for a man who gives a message on Sunday to extend beyond the biblical truths or boast before God. Because we are all taught by the Bible and it is always the sacred texts which prevail over the ideas of man.
e) The Catholic Church
Even if at the base, the Catholic Church today gives a message almost identical to other churches, it is very important to discern. Let me explain. If a Catholic, Orthodox, or any other priest gives a message whereas he has never read the Bible, what can he offer to the faithful who have come in good faith to hear the name of Jesus Christ? He can only speak of dogmas or sacraments of his church, which may be wrong vis-à-vis Biblical truths. Naturally, he can speak about everyday life or what his conscience tells him concerning good and evil. Sincere Christians belonging to this congregation lack deep knowledge of the Scripture. Particularly about prophecies, the earthly stages in the Divine Plan, the Universal Church, the various resurrections, the time following the period of grace and the Rapture of the Church on earth. Moreover, we can know in our lifetime if we shall go to heaven or not and this does not depend on our good works but on the salvation by grace. When we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and accept His sacrifice on the cross, we witness the new birth, that of the Holy Spirit. However, those who do not go to Christ but to a religion will certainly not be saved, because all these religions draw people towards man and not Christ. I blame the Catholic Church for making people believe that it is by our good works that we may be able to go to heaven. If and only if, our good works outnumber our bad deeds. In other words, this is a way of telling the faithful that it is possible for us to redeem ourselves. This is not true. To believe this tantamount to missing salvation by Grace, and being rejected like these virgins far from the face of God. And this is what God says:
4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, (Romans 4:4-5)
It is not because of our good deeds that we will go to heaven. It is because Jesus, the Son of God came on earth in human form. And He alone among all creation was sinless. In other words, he remained Saint because begotten by God he did not have the stain of the original sin at birth. Although He was holy, men judged and put him to death because he came to announce the good news of salvation. On the cross, He gave himself to be the atonement for the sins of all men. This Holy Sacrifice, the only one that God could accept as ransom for all the sins of men; has been endorsed by Him in heaven. That is why anyone willing to give his sins to Jesus on the cross in order to be justified is saved. In dying alone (Jesus Christ) Just before God in His entire person was able to overcome the chains of death, because death and hell, could not keep him due to his holiness. For this reason, He is able to save all those who come to Him for eternal life. No one comes to God, without accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. This acceptance has to be personal and individual. The moment someone by an act of faith asks Christ to take his sins on the cross, that person has eternal life. At that moment we are justified by Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us. Justification means that through Christ, God sees us holy, because He atoned for our iniquities on the cross. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit, set apart and sanctified. Sanctification means that God through the Holy Spirit changes our old nature, to give us a creature that pleases Him. When we belong to God, it is natural to do good works. We found 32 twenty nine more doctrinal errors of the Roman Catholic Church.

As we can see, the leadership of a Church may be rotten and corrupt with false teaching in order to lose many souls. Only those amongst them who go to Jesus Christ are saved, but sometimes they walk very far from the Word of God and consequently sadden the Holy Spirit. Anyway, the denomination in which someone may find himself will not matter much when the Rapture of the Church will occur and hence during the first part of the resurrection of the righteous. No single righteous shall remain on earth. In the various existing churches, God will rapture Christians who agreed to surrender their sins to Christ on the cross. Then, an earthly Church which already exists and whose leadership is corrupt and based in Rome will become the prostitute.
4) The prostitute and the false prophet
It may be necessary to explain this satanic entity. First of all, it should be recalled that with the rapture of the Universal Church and the first part of the first resurrection of the righteous: no righteous will remain on earth. Therefore, only disappointed and angry people shall remain pondering over the disappearance of millions of people in just a twinkle of the eye. As we understood in course of analyzing the essence of the Catholic religion, it is likely that the Catholic structure remains after the rapture. What shall the remaining leaders of this church tell the inhabitants of the earth? I want to suggest these possibilities.
1) They will publicly admit to have committed doctrinal errors in the past that obscured salvation to men, and then return to the Bible as the source of all truth.
2) They will formally deny everything about the Return of Jesus Christ, and will present the disappearance of the righteous as the work of the devil and even extraterrestrial. They shall then request the formation of a world government with its President (the Antichrist) who shall be presented as the new Messiah.
The Bible gives us the answer; they shall choose the second option. If we make a flashback into historical facts, we discover that from its inception, the Catholic Church has always taken delight in unteaching the plan of salvation by grace in Jesus Christ. It introduced the papacy and has adopted a very rigid structure with the establishment of various religious communities. Right from the middle Ages, it has ensured the support and authority of the kings of the earth.
And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth . (Revelation 17: 18)
Its practice of Inquisition has increased its wealth and strength. It has relentlessly chased those who practice the holy doctrine of Christ, killing them and accusing them of witchcraft and this, in a bid to increase its wealth and glory by using the name of Christ.
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. (Revelation 17: 6)
However, there is an excellent book on the subject entitled "The Church ignored" by E. H. Broadbent of Christian golden collection.
When John prophesied about the prostitute: the Church allowing the Antichrist to take power, he said:
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. (Revelation 17:6)
Why was John surprise? Is it because it was a church that claimed to work for Christ? The Bible is formal: the prostitute is in Rome. And the only church installed in Rome is the Roman Catholic Church. Could it be that the Catholic Church is the prostitute, this church that will allow the Antichrist to take power on earth? Besides, which other church is powerful enough to influence nations and political leaders? Currently, the Catholic Church is exploring the possibility of unification of all religions. The unification of all the religions of the world means that salvation by grace in Jesus Christ will be scrapped in order to satisfy the major world religions. Moreover, on this subject, Pierre Virion has an interesting idea in his book "Soon a world government, a great one and against the church " In another vein, looking at the prophecies of Nostradamus, Satanic prophecies since a prophet of God should not make any mistake. The prophecies of Nostradamus have a success rate of about 66%. So we can consider that Nostradamus, who prophesied according to the Popes, will probably be right. Nations shall believe in the Catholic Church and its Pope (the false prophet) and shall, therefore, unify all religions on earth. When the Antichrist shall appear, He shall demonstrate that he is the man capable of unifying all the nations of world and get them out of economic doldrums. Thereafter, it will blind the nations by his wonders and those made by his counter- satanic church and his false prophet (Revelation 16: 13 - 14). So that nations will take him for God.
5) The ten horns
The ten horns are ten kings who will unite with the prostitute. This is the Roman Empire given that orders shall come from Rome. Here's what Daniel says about it: the eleventh king was added. The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. (Daniel 7:24)
The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. (Revelation 17:12)
1 hour of 1 week knowing that 1 week = 7 years 1 week = 168 hours = 84 months 168 hours / 84 months = 2 weeks
The satanic kingdom is a world government. It begins after the Rapture of the Church and its duration is seven years, characterized by two periods of three and a half years. Many wonder if the Antichrist will appear immediately after the Rapture. The biblical answer is in the negative because, according to the Word of God, the ten horns-the new Roman empire which is headed by the false prophet, that is to say by Rome, have a plan to achieve and it will last one hour of the time of the beast. The ten kings shall receive authority after the Rapture of the Church. So it may be kings or men controlling INTERNATIONAL organisations or men exercising real power on earth now, but operating in secret. The prostitute and the ten kings will exercise authority for 2 weeks. Subsequently, the Bible tells us that the eleventh country will be added, hence the Antichrist and the ten kings, shall give him their authority.
The Antichrist and the ten horns will kill the prostitute. Note the severity of the Word of God: "prostitute". Why does the Bible refer to it as the prostitute? Yet it is the World Church of the Antichrist and the Bible takes delight to call it prostitute. It would be interesting to analyze the meaning of the word prostitute, this term means "disgraced." Who is the person that this church has disgraced? Who was the first love of this church long ago? The prostitute will be destroyed by the ten horns and the beast (Revelation 17:15-18). Some Christian scholars believe that this will be the end of the reign of Satan, but it's not a certainty. We'll just say it will be destroyed.
Earlier I mentioned that the ancient Roman Empire could be represented as European Union or various other identities forming the ten horns of the prophecy. Indeed, as we shall see, the world is able to bring the Antichrist to power. In the light of the prophecies, let us study the following information.
a) The 33 beast or "Swift" system, the central computer of EEC.
Obviously, the reader now knows that a computer cannot be the beast. The beast has life
and a computer is only a tool in this global conspiracy, but this is how this section has been
entitled.
Dr. Handrick Eldeman, chief analyst of the Common Market Conference disclosed in Brussels that a computer restoration plan is already in place prior to the impending global chaos. At an emergency meeting that brought together both scholars, advisers and officers of the CMC, Dr. Eldeman unveiled "the Beast", a gigantic computer that occupies three floors of the administrative building at the Common Market headquarters. This monster is a computer programmer with more than one hundred distributing sources of data. Programming experts have developed a plan called Řgoverning all world trade by computerř. This master plan would involve a system of numbering each human being on earth. So the computer would give each inhabitant of the world a number to be used for any purchase or sale, thereby setting aside the problem of the current credit cards. This number would be invisibly tattooed by laser, either on the forehead or on the back of the hand. This would establish a walking credit card. And 33 Drawn from a text in Moody Magazine.
the number could be seen only through infrared devices installed in Express check counters or business places. Dr. Eldeman was of the opinion that using three series of six digits each (666), each person in the world could be given a separate Credit card number.
Other officials of the Common Market believe that the current chaos and disorder with mysterious causes demonstrate the need for a global currency, an international footprint which would perhaps put an end to the current paper money and coins ... In their place, Credit notes would be exchanged under the care of the clearing corporation of a global bank. No member could buy or sell without being given such a numbered imprint. The leaders of the Common Market are now convinced that world order depends on the allegiance of peace and politics to a new system of global trade and numbering. A single individual would have within his reach the number of all the inhabitants of the earth. This could be an instrument of peace or a weapon of dictatorship. When we asked one of the leaders of the Common Market what would happen if someone objected to the system and refused to cooperate, she answered rather bluntly: Ŗwe would have to use force to get him comply with new requirementsŗ. When one remembers what the Bible says (Revelation 13:16-18) about the coming of Antichrist at the head of this organization, the following quotations become extremely illuminating.
Henri Spaak, father of the European Common Market and NATO Secretary General, said in one of his speeches: Ŗwe do not want another committee, we have too much now. What we want is a man of such stature that is able to gain the allegiance of all peoples and pull us out of economic chaos into which we sink. Send us such a man; be he god or devil, we will welcome him.ŗ
Revelation of John 13:11, 16-18: " Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon… He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666ŗ.
Revelation of John 14: 9-12: Ŗ… If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesusŗ.
6) The Antichrist
This character, who shall assume the role of the son of Satan in this human tragedy, is rather enigmatic. In fact, it is very difficult to say with certainty where he shall come from. On the contrary, we know his purpose.
The Bible says this is the eleventh country which adds unto the ten kings; He shall bring down three and the other kings will hand him their authority.
The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time. (Daniel 7: 24-25)
This prophecy which dates back to 600 BC shows that he shall be the eleventh King of a country which is already irreligious and atheistic. The Antichrist shall come out of this eleventh country; I think he will only be visible after the rapture of the Church and the Holy Spirit from the earth (2 Thessalonians 2: 7). As soon as the Antichrist will come to power, for three and a half years, he will try to exterminate the Saints. Satan being his father, he will attempt to cock a snook at God, so that the Millennium stage should not take place. In this sense, he will try to change the law and the time determined by God.
7) Where will the Antichrist come from ?
The analogy that the Antichrist shall be against Israel and the fact that it shall probably be an atheist country, leads us to introduce this prophecy written by Ezekiel, 600 years BC. I will quote only two parts to show you what I mean. Prophecy against Gog 1 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. (Ezekiel 38: 1-3)
And 17 Thus says the Lord God: "Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them? 18 "And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord God, "that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: 'Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.' 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains," says the Lord God. "Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 38: 17-23)
Gog is the natural lineage of Reuben, a tribe of Israel! (Chronicle 5: 4). The Bible does not specify the son of Reuben who begot Gog; his name is mentioned once in the Bible. Magog is the son of Japheth son of Noah (Genesis 10: 2). Rosch is the son of Benjamin, a tribal patriarch of Israel (Genesis 46: 21). Rosch had no offspring (Number 26: 38). Tubal and Meshech are both sons of Japheth, son of Noah (Genesis 10: 2). The Bible does not give any details about the geographical destination of these peoples.
Noah had three sons, Shem, Japheth and Ham. Japheth for his part begat Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras (1 Chronicles 1: 5). Noah prophesied and blessed his sons in a retrograding manner. For many, it is a sin, and for others a spiritual lineage and race.
24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 Then he said: "Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren." 26 And he said: "Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem, And may Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth, And may he dwell in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant." 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died. (Genesis 9:24-29)
It appears that the lineage of Shem was blessed with spirituality, wisdom, intelligence, strength and courage. While that of Japheth who lived in the tent of Shem was given intelligence, strength and courage. Yet, it seems that Japheth will become the master during the Great Tribulation, and his king would be of Jewish descent. Gog who came from the house of Reuben whom God calls the Antichrist but where shall he come from?
God gives us a clue in Ezekiel 38: 14-15 and 39:2
"Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, 'Thus says the Lord God: "On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
Compared to Israel, his country is at the extreme north, Ezekiel 39: 2, reconfirms that location. If you look at the definition of ŖPetit Larousse illustrated 1990ŗ north: the seven stars of the Big or Little Bear. Coastal North.
There are two ways to proceed:
Looking at a map from the sky of Jerusalem, we see that the end of the north turns around the polar star, causing it to have different degrees vis-à vis the true north. Astronomers could correct me.
But,
Poles shrink at the extremes of the earth because the earth is round. In this case, following this route, the line cuts Moscow.
Therefore, no matter the method we may use to analyze the route, either by following the Polar Star or the north, the country formed and currently existing in the far north is Russia.
Moreover, God says that when He will send fire on Magog, he will not spare the inhabitants of the Islands. Where is the far north found?
You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken," says the Lord God. And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ezekiel 39:5-6)
Therefore, if we have correctly interpreted the explanations, following the current geographical maps, the Antichrist would come from Russia. As we noted earlier, the Antichrist will be against Israel. He shall destroy 34 two third of the Jewish people (Zechariah 13: 8) and will hope to ruin it in order to prevent the Millennium stage from happening according to divine plan. In this sense, by destroying Godřs people, he will be hoping to change times and laws. But we are told by the prophecies that God will destroy him.
If we consider Israel as a reference point as it is apparently mentioned in the prophecy, it is likely that the Antichrist would emerge from the USSR. Therefore, the dissolution of the present USSR would be a huge Trojan horse. Occult authorities are leading the USSR and when time comes it will resurface. " And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord God, "that My fury will show in My face (Ezekiel 38:18) ŗ. But this kingdom will be much larger than the former USSR If one refers to the name of princes and kings mentioned in Ezekiel: "Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. This shall be a huge area.
34 The return of Jesus Christ by Rene Pache, Emmaus Editions, 1806 St. Legier Vevey, page 169.
The army of evil shall not only include the atheistic countries of former USSR, but almost all of the world's army. The Antichrist will come up against Israel in order to loot Jerusalem.
4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops--many people are with you. 7 "Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. (Ezekiel 38:4-7)
We notice for instance that Persia (Iran) is clearly designated as Ethiopia and the different houses. It is very difficult to locate all other peoples with precision. However, they shall be many to rise against Israel.
Now, we only have to locate the whereabouts of the prince probably of Jewish origin, since in order to seduce the Jewish nation; the king would be of Jewish descent. Ezekiel 38: 15 and 39: 2 seems appropriate, if we interpret correctly that this would be Russia.
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. (John 5: 43)
The Antichrist will attack and loot the current government in Israel. It is clear that the United States of America will be greatly weakened after the Rapture of the Church. They will possibly lose their title of world power. The race of Japheth remaining, the leaders will follow the guideline dictated by the Antichrist.
In this regard, it would be interesting to highlight some facts. During communism in USSR, Christianity was punishable with exile and death. Parapsychological weapons were tested among the people. The leaders strongly encouraged such practices. This new weapon probably gave incredible results. According to some sources, several cases of demonic possession were registered and many extraordinary events occurred in some places.
If the leaders of a country could encourage a people to focus their psychic energies on a common will, we can only expect astounding results at the end of the process. Unfortunately, the Bible assures us that such a practice belongs to the science of demonology. Can Satan have a better place to introduce his son? Moreover, Ostran Der Liynn Schroeder has published a very interesting book on this subject entitled, "Fantastic parapsychological research in USSRŗ
8) Synopsis of characters that make up the satanic reign
In the light of the prophecies, we have skimmed through the components of the satanic reign and the interaction between its blocks during the reign of the Antichrist. By interpretation, we have to a certain extent attributed names to these blocks. Naturally, there may be error of interpretation, but only time shall judge. As already mentioned, only the prophecy without
adding or subtracting anything, is valid.
Presently, the major thinkers and Christian scholars believe that the names given in the prophecy could mean:
The Prostitute Could be the Roman Catholic Church The False Prophet Could be the Pope The Ten Horns Could be the European Union, plus secret
INTERNATIONAL BODIES
The Antichrist The son of Satan
Each of these interpretations may be wrong, but I suggest that you closely follow each of these entities or any other events similar to the prophecies that you have just learnt.
PART FOUR - The beginning of the satanic reign
This section will be exclusively devoted to the evolution of the work of Satan. If possible, I will try to interpret the inherent chaos that shall prevail in the world during the satanic reign in a chronological manner.
1) The cursed mark
It is very difficult to ascertain whether people shall be obliged to bear the cursed mark during the establishment of this world government, under pain of death by decapitation. We know that the Great Tribulation is a period of three years and a half. If the tribulation of Nations (Revelation 13 :5-7), (Daniel 7: 25), coincides with that of the Jews (Revelation 11 :2-3), then we know that the Great Tribulation ends with the battle of Hamaguedon, where Christ will destroy the Antichrist with the brightness of his coming, marking the end of seven (7) years of Tribulation. So, wearing the mark will become mandatory some time during the first three and a half years of the reign of Satan.
In Revelation 14:6-12, we see that the prostitute seems to be destroyed before the wearing of the mark and the worship of the beast becomes mandatory. For three angels fly through the middle of the sky warning:
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people-- 7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water." 8 And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:6-12)
So God shall warn people, and they shall know the consequences of their actions. After the rapture of the Church of God on earth, people will be confused by the counter church (the prostitute) and probably the hateful and unpeaceful alien explanation. Most people will prefer to believe in the falsehood of the devil rather than God's angels warning them. What the Bible describes in Matthew 24: 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 will happen to them.
The Bible says:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13: 15-18)
Many people believe that with the help of sophisticated machines, the world government would codify a mark to be used as a credit number by people. [Currently, a series of three sets of six digits would be enough to identify everybody on earth]. Without this identification, it would be impossible to make any transaction, whether buying or selling. Presently, in all sale points of the world, there are infrared-reader cash desks which register the codes of items purchased by customers. Instead of paying by debiting oneřs card, the world Government authorities could establish a system of infrared coding on the right hand or forehead that would be neither more nor less, the unique access code for that person. This same number will be used as a bank account, credit card, work permit, driving license, health insurance card, and so on. These same infrared-reader machines or laser could read the unique access code acting as debit or credit card.
As for how people will worship the image of the beast, and how the beast shall know if he was worshipped by every member of the family. The current television system could disappear. The Internet is now entering homes and an interactive discussion is now possible. A new kind of television could be released shortly to provide the possibility of individual mode, interactive and virtual. People will no longer need to go out to vote, they will do it from home, from their living rooms. Elections will be transparent, counting fair and each family member will have his access code. Currently, voting of the people is done through opinion polls. We know which political party will come to power with a 2% error margin. Before the next elections the opposition party: criticizes, argues, offers, solely based on opinion polls and the number of increased votes. This is in a bid to have the maximum number of votes for the next election.
But the Bible warns us against this mark and commands us not to worship the image of the beast, or accept the cursed mark under penalty of judgment.
… "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:9-12, 20:4)
This decision is irrevocable, if someone accepts the mark; he will be cursed and his situation will be irreversible. For he who is wise, it will be better to die (because we will all die one day) and live forever, rather than accept the mark and live up to three and a half years and be condemned forever.
Could there be a Christian guerrilla during the tribulation? The answer seems to be negative because such a move would be contrary to the Spirit of Christ. Violent men must not indulge into instincts in the name of Christ.
If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:9-10)
Apart from the elect, that is to say, Christians undiscovered across nations, the remaining one third of the Jews and the people believed to be the 144,000 Jewish virgins, twelve thousand of each tribe marked with the seal of God by the angels of God (Revelation: 3-4). No evil man will survive Godřs judgment. The righteous in God's eyes, we believe, will enter into the Millennium. The Judgment of God shall be exercised by seals, trumpets, and bowls (Revelation Chapter 16). The rest of the people who accept the cursed mark will be killed by the one called Faithful and True, and he will judge and make war according to justice (Revelation 19 :11-21).
2) The Jewish people during the tribulation
The history of the Jewish people during the tribulation will be particularly interesting. Once again, Israel will be alone among the nations. Israel will be nurtured and protected for three years and a half. Then, the Antichrist will rise against the Jewish people with a large army. Christ warns the Jewish people not to enter Jerusalem or in the cities but to flee to places of shelter, and that those of Judea should flee to the mountains (Matthew 24: 16, Luke 21: 21).
During this dark period in human history, as the salt of the earth is removed i.e. true Christians. A majority of those who shall remain on earth will be proud and blasphemous against the LORD. Despite the proclamation of the Word by the elect of that time, the one hundred forty four thousand Jews (Revelation 7: 4), the two faithful witnesses (Revelation 11:3-12) and even angels (Revelation 14: 6), most people will receive the cursed mark.
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people-- 7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water." 8 And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. (Revelation 14:6-12)
It is difficult to imagine that angels will fly in the sky, warning people all over the earth not to take the mark or worship the image of the beast. And yet, deliberately, people of the earth will still take the cursed mark and worship the image of the beast. Personally, I think that since the prostitute will not educate people on the rapture of the church they will believe that everything has been caused by aliens. They will be afraid of the angels of God, believing that they are aliens who have come to mislead and rapture them. Their lack of knowledge and interest in the Word of God will cause their loss. Also, in chapter five, I will speak in detail of the UFO phenomenon and aliens.
Matthew explains thus:
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. (Matthew 24:6-9)
Many Christians donřt know where to locate this passage in time. I told you that Matthew 24 is mostly directed to the Jews of the tribulation and thatřs true. Here comes the explanation: when the Antichrist would have seduced nations by his miracles, he will destroy the prostitute, he shall have powers (Revelation 13:7-8). Then the Antichrist will put an end to sacrifice and offering (Daniel 9: 27, Daniel 12: 11) and shall oppress the saints (Daniel 7: 25) for three years and a half. There shall be divisions within his kingdom. Still being alert and without being sure, one may reasonably believe that the mark, worship and the removal of the Perpetual sacrifice will be at the same time, close to the first three and half years of the reign of Satan. So nations will hear rumours of war but it will only be the beginning of the end. The antichrist will use the wonderful tool of repression i.e. the army at his disposal to quell infighting in his kingdom. It is believed that this will happen towards the end of his reign. It is also thought that there will be war during the first half of the time: "kingdom against kingdom, and nation against nation". It shall likely be a war between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan, and thereafter during the last three and a half years it is believed that the war shall be between the Jewish nations and the unbelieving nation of the Antichrist.
But in Revelation 14:6-12, it is believed that the prostitute shall embrace Kabbalah, the religion of fallen angels, shall seduce nations and will be destroyed by fire. According to the Bible, it seems that all this shall happen before the reception of the cursed mark and compulsory enforcement of the worship of the beast. Since angels shall be moving from one place to another with the everlasting gospel, warning people not to worship the beast and not to accept the cursed mark.
Here is what the Bible says concerning the two kingdoms:
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12: 7-9)
To the best of our knowledge, currently, a celestial war between good and evil is underway. The victory of Christ on the cross, by His precious blood, purifies anyone who accepts his sacrifice. Also when Satan will be master of the world for the last time, he will try to defeat God in His Kingdom. But the Bible gives us the outcome in advance: Satan will be defeated. As for nations, the Bible says:
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. (Revelation 12:13-14)
The woman represents the Jewish people, the people from whom Christ was born, and the Antichrist will make war against her. The Bible assures us that Christ will protect his people and that the Antichrist will be defeated at the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16, Zechariah 14:12-14).
3) The seals and trumpets
It is difficult to translate in terms of months or even years, the seals, trumpets and bowls announced in the New Testament by the Revelation. At most, we may think that Seals are attributed to physical punishment while the bowls would represent the political situation. Far be it from me to pretend to establish a fixed order, the goal sought by the quotations from biblical passages describing the seals and trumpets is to help you recognize heavenly signs during the reign of the Antichrist in order to educate at least partially, those who will face the tribulation. I hope that the biblical quotations inserted here will provoke your desire to read
the books of Daniel and the Revelation. By so doing, you will read the word of God, the
only real truth, without adding or subtracting anything. For this reason I will not cite the bowls (Revelation 16: 1-21), the reader would only have to read the Holy Scriptures. I have not subtracted or added anything to the prophecy described in full in the Revelation of John, as I always say; the only truth is found in the sacred books to which you must pay attention as from today. However, as someone charged to educate you on things to come, I had to make a brief overview, of the Book of Revelation and Daniel, as interpreted by the main Christian scholars of our time. Since my duty is not to copy or translate the entire book of the Revelation, I have only given broad guidelines of the Tribulation, It is the responsibility of each reader to read the Bible and know it. The only truth resides in the Divine Scriptures, book by book from the beginning to the end without adding or subtracting anything. The reader who is interested in such things should read the book of the Revelation from beginning to end which constitutes the only complete truth, biblical and divine, and he would see the whole prophecy in its entire divine dimension, and could even differently interpret the summary explanations given in this book. Explanations, which I repeat, can be wrong in time, interpretation, and meaning or otherwise.
The only chronological truth is that given by Scripture. I will introduce some Christian thoughts about the Bible, but they may not be quite true. In short, what I mean is that the order in which God places such punishments is the only one to consider as truthful. But it will be left to the person who will be part of the tribulation to identify and position these signs in their order of occurrence within the seven years given to the Antichrist. Meanwhile the explanation given is only an interpretation and to some extent an assumption.
a) The first seal:
And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2)
Christian scholars believe he is the Antichrist. At the early stage of his reign, there will be peace on earth for a short time and he will seduce nations.
b) The second seal:
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (Revelation 6:3-4)
Some Christians believe that this is the rapture of the Holy Spirit on earth. This event puzzles me because according to the Bible (2 Thessalonians 2:5-12), the rapture of the Church and the Holy Spirit will be at the same time, marking the beginning of year one of the satanic reign and a powerful spirit of delusion will be sent to those who miss the rapture so that they should believe in lies.
Personally, I think that what will provoke tensions in the satanic kingdom shall be differences of opinion. We see that the prostitute and the false prophet will be destroyed by the ten horns and the Antichrist (Revelation 17: 16). May be this is it?
c) The third seal:
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine." (Revelation 6: 5-6)
Many people believe that this is widespread starvation across the planet. This shall amplify internal strife within the world system of Antichrist.
The world is experiencing considerable and significant weather change; scientists are unanimous on this. Everywhere, the amount of water decreases, the soil dries up quietly thereby announcing a great famine. The earth, which carries destructive signs within it, is preparing its offensive against the satanic kingdom which is fast coming, brought by pollution, the era of robotics, office automation, information technology, various scientific technologies and especially telecommunications.
d) The fourth seal:
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)
Personally, this is how I understand these Bible verses: but remember that I can be in error. Human nature will revolt against the system established by the Antichrist. Even Satanřs kingdom will be divided, because man will want to take his place on the throne. The Antichrist will crush his fellow disciples in addition to beheading Christians and trampling on Jerusalem with his feet (Revelation 11: 2). For man to survive he shall be forced to crush man, famine shall bring destructive elements and death.
e) The fifth seal:
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. (Revelation 6:9-11)
Some argue that this seal marks the beginning of the cursed mark. For my part, I think the cursed mark shall be in force before the fifth seal, because the description of the fifth seal appears to be a reminder to Jesus by the Holy Martyrs of tribulation. Precisely, they are martyrs because they refused to worship the image of the beast and take the mark on the forehead or on the right hand and the other brethren have to add to their number.
f) The sixth seal:
The sixth seal is self-explanatory since it announces the end of a wicked and proud world.
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the
Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" (Revelation 6: 12-17)
g) The Seventh Seal:
When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. (Revelation 8:1)
The Seventh Seal determines the start of trumpets. In reality, the seventh seal is characterized by a series of seven trumpets. In fact, there is nothing that we can really be convinced about, the only infallible thing is the start of these seals, trumpets and bowls within seven years, depending on God's will.
First Trumpet :
The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. (Revelation 8:7)
Second trumpet:
Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. (Revelation 8:8-9)
Third trumpet
Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. (Revelation 8:10-11)
Fourth Trumpet
Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. (Revelation 8:12)
Fifth Trumpet
1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. (Revelation 9:1-6)
Before the seventh seal, angels go round to identify a seal on the forehead of Godřs servants. This, in order that they may escape the plagues contained in some of the trumpets; do not confuse this seal with the cursed mark of Antichrist.
Sixth trumpet
Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed--by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm. 20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. (Revelation 9:13-21)
Seventh trumpet
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" (Revelation 11: 15)
Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11: 19)
4) Graphic knowledge transmitted
Normally, the event is expected to begin during the identified stage, but it is unpredictable because the only thing that is certain is that the events identified during the Tribulation will occur during the seven (7) years as planned. God, testifies that in His Word.
The reign of the Antichrist
END OF TIME OF GRACE SEVEN YEARS GRANTED
TO THE ANTICHRIST
MILLENNIUM
1) The Rapture of the Church and the Holy Spirit 2) First part of the resurrection of the righteous 1) Short reign of the ten horns 2) The prostitute shattered 3) Warning of the angels; Evangelization of the two faithful witnesses and the 144 000 Jews warning people not to take the cursed mark and not to worship the image of the beast 4) The enforcement of the mark, worshipping and the end of perpetual sacrifice 5) Fulfillment of some seals and bowls 1) Jews must not enter Jerusalem or cities. Those in Judea must escape to the mountains. 2) Destruction of nations by seals, bowls, and all the trumpets 3) The battle of Hamaguedon, Jesus Christ destroys the Antichrist (END) 4) Judgment of the nations and ungodly people having taken the mark or worshipped the beast. None of them enters the Millennium 1) The coming of Christ as King of Judah to rule over Israel during the Millennium stage(1000 years) Those who shall be part of the resurrection of the righteous will reign with him and shall be priests who shall rule the earth. They are saved for ever.
5) Second part of the resurrection of the righteous 6) It is believed that the 144 000 Jews marked with the seal of God and Christians who survived the Great Tribulation shall enter the Millennium

To be saved:
1) Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior; 2) Do not take the mark to buy or sell on the forehead or right hand; 3) Do not worship the image of the beast; 4) Resist right up to the point of death by beheading, if caught by the world government; NB Do not take the cursed mark because there will be no way back, anyone who accepts the mark or worship the beast will be condemned forever.
5) Conclusion
These seals, trumpets and bowls are certain and true, they will arrive in time. The Word of God testifies it. In my opinion, the Tribulation of seven years is shown through these seals and trumpets. Many other important truths are found in the book of Revelation such as the judgment of different churches making up the Universal Church of Christ, the bowls, the elders, the number of God's people, compensation based time, the Millennium, New Jerusalem, New Heaven and New Earth, the altar of God, His throne, the power of Jesus Christ and many other knowledge. In order to write this book, I drew from the scriptures and sacred texts. This was necessary to give you a general overview of the tribulation. And I'm satisfied with the content generated. Naturally, the interpretations and personal explanations mentioned in this chapter are meant in no way to be the absolute truth and this chapter is not a summary of the Revelation or any other biblical book.
For a full explanation of the Revelation, you should read it. I declare that the Revelation is a book of God and I consider it to be true as all the other books of the Bible without adding or subtracting any word or anything from it. What I understand is that I wanted to extract the whole portions of the Bible verse to attach to this book. But in the typing, I might have committed an error, so only the original Bible verse is valid and true. Also, with regard to
the prophecies, interpretations, explanations and data speculations, they remain prone to
error. So the only truth remains the full prophecy in the Bible without adding or deleting
anything.
To the best of our knowledge, a spiritual battle which is beyond human reasoning is also underway. And beyond the contemporary written history, there is the real story. It is known only by those who shape and govern our world. Thus James Burnham said:
« Les dirigeants nominaux : présidents, rois, congressistes, députés, généraux ne sont pas les véritables dirigeants ». (Synarchiste, 1941)
"Nominal leaders: Presidents, Kings, Delegates, Parliamentarians, Generals are not true leaders." (Synarchist, 1941) KADMI-Cohen wrote:
« Un Kahal mystérieux pousse lřhomme « inspiré », parfois choisi longtemps dřavance, pour devenir lřinstrument du « Grand Œuvre ». Il peut alors bouleverser un état, renverser le cours des choses, braver les oppositions, tromper les peuples par des retournements spectaculaires et dramatiques à lřétonnement des foules ignorantes de la préparation de ses voies par dřautres mains et des appuis occultes qui font durer jusquřau jour marqué de sa chute, une fois sa mission remplie, ou lorsque ses prétentions dépassent la mesure qui lui a été comptée ». (Synarchiste, 1930) "A mysterious Kahal pushes the Ŗinspiredŗ man sometimes chosen long in advance, to become the instrument of the "Great Work". He can then overturn a state, reversing the course of events, face opposition, deceive the people with dramatic reversals to the astonishment of the masses who are ignorant of the preparation of his ways by other hands and occult support which enable him to last until the appointed day of his fall, once his Mission is accomplished, or when his claims exceed the limits that were spelt out to him.ŗ (Synarchist, 1930)
Then this excerpt from Mage Papus (Dr. Encausse):
« Tout groupe social, comme tout être humain a des organes visibles et invisibles. Pendant que les lois actuelles sont appliquées, dřautres lois sřélaborent en secret quelque part, comme le soleil noir évolue dans lřombre pendant que le soleil blanc illumine le présent. À côté de la politique nationale de chaque état, il existe des organismes peu connus de politique internationale. Actuellement la constitution en deux cantons suisses de lřAlsace-Lorraine, la libération de la Pologne devenue le centre dřune Suisse balkanique, la disparition de lřAutriche-Hongrie et la constitution des États-Unis dřEurope après lřécrasement définitif de la féodalité militariste, sont des problèmes qui se posent dans ces conseils internationaux auxquels prennent part, non pas les politiciens de carrière ou des ambassadeurs galonnés, mais quelques hommes modestes, inconnus, quelques grands financiers supérieurs, par leur conception large des actions sociales, aux politiciens orgueilleux qui se figurent, une fois ministres éphémères, gouverner le monde. Un réseau bien organisé dřagences télégraphiques avec des directeurs anglais, un solide bureau international dřinformations économiques avec des consuls allemands, un groupement de directeurs français de banques dřémissions, des informateurs belges, suisses ou japonais, font un outil social vivant et agissant autrement puissant quřun parlement ou quřune cour peuplée de courtisans. Une grève venant à propos pour arrêter la construction dřun cuirassé ou lřessor dřun port de commerce, un traité de commerce négocié au moment favorable sont des manifestations inattendues de ces actions sociales dřorigines occultes qui nřétonnent que les profanes, car il existe des profanes à tous les degrés, même avec de beaux « décors » bien blancs. Or à toute époque, il a existé non pas en « astral » mais bien sur notre plan physique des hommes qui aspiraient à réaliser certaines réformes sociales sans appartenir aux organismes visibles des sociétés. Ces hommes réunis en deux petits groupes créaient les outils variables avec le moment, le pays choisi et lřétat des esprits à lřépoque. Ils agissaient dřaprès une vieille science dřorganisation sociale issue des
anciens sanctuaires dřÉgypte et conservée pieusement en certains centres dit hermétiques ». (Revue « Mysteria », avril 1914) "Every social group, like any human being has visible and invisible organs. While current laws are applied, other laws are elaborated in secret somewhere, as the black sun moves in the dark while the white sun is shining. Besides the national policy of each state, there are organizations unknown to international politics. Presently the constitution in two Swiss townships of Alsace- Lorraine, the liberation of Poland became the center of a Balkan Switzerland, the disappearance of Austria-Hungary and the United States Constitution in Europe after the final collapse of militaristic feudalism, are problems that arise in these international councils where those who participate are not career politicians and high ranking ambassadors, but some unknown moderate men, some major financial executives, by their broad conception of social actions, proud politicians who feature, one time short-lived ministers are those who rule the world. A well-organized network of telegraph agencies with English managers, a strong international economic information office with German consuls, a group of French issuing Bank managers, Belgian, Swiss or Japanese informants, are a social tool alive, active and more powerful than a parliament or a court populated by courtiers. A strike coming by the way to stop the construction of a battleship or the development of a commercial port, a commercial treaty negotiated at a favorable time are unexpected events from these social actions with occult origins which can only be surprising to lay people, because there are always laymen at all levels, even with beautiful "sets" very white. Whereas, at all times, there have been people not Ŗastral bodies" but physical men who aspired to achieve certain social reforms without belonging to visible corporate bodies. These men gathered in two small groups created tools that vary with the period, the chosen country and the state of minds at the time. They acted according to an old science of social organization from former sanctuaries of Egypt and piously preserved in some soŔcalled hermetic centers" ("Mysteria" Review April 1914)
Truly, in our time, with our knowledge, a spiritual and earthly warfare will soon be engaged. A science and divinity destroyed in the ancient days and then in the new world in the Tower of Babel, and finally during the exodus from Egypt opposes God and His Son Jesus Christ. In our time, we gave after the prophecies.
