The Timeline of Revelation Revealed

Revelation’s Timelines Explained.

The name Revelation/Apocalypse is from the Greek word Apokálypsis meaning to uncover or “Reveal”. So, Jesus is given this book by God the Father, and he, in turn, gives it unto John the Beloved disciple. He gives it via Visions/Angel Messengers etc. etc.  

Revelation chapter 1 is Jesus as seen in all his glory by John (and the other disciples saw this glory also) via on this earth and now in Heaven. Jesus then tells John to write what he sees in Visions down and send it unto the 7 Churches in Asia-Minor. Jesus also tells John he is to write about the things which he “has seen”(Jesus’ Glory on earth and in heaven) about the “things which are”(Church Age) and the “things which will be hereafter”. (The 70th week Tribulation.)


Revelation chapters 2 and 3 is the “Church Age” or the “time of the Gentiles”. The Seven Churches of Asia-Minor represent the Complete Church Age Period as the number 7 = Completion. Thus these Seven Churches are not different periodic Churches from different times, but 7 different types of Churches throughout the whole/complete Church Age. Rev. chapters 2 and 3 represent the things which are (meaning that back on earth the Church Age/Time of the Gentiles was current at that time).

Revelation 4:1 is the dividing point of the Time of the Gentiles/Church Age and the 70th-week tribulation point. Jesus via the Last Trump ends the Summer Harvest (Church Age) at that time, via his Visions unto John, as Jesus told John to write the things you see in the Visions down, thus when Jesus says “Come up here” that is John being Raptured just after the “Things which Are” (Church Age) and seeing the “Hereafter” as this verse clearly describes.

Rev. 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. (After the Church Age/Time of the Gentiles)

Revelation chapters 4 and 5 in total are the beginning of the 70th-week troubles back on earth in that the Time of the Gentiles is over, the 70th-week troubles DESIGNED to get Israel to repent (see Dan. 9:24-27 it says so) is now the timeclock the earth is on according to Jesus’ vision, the Gentile Church is in Heaven here as evidenced via Rev. 4:4 where we see Rev. 2:10, Rev. 3:5 and Rev. 3:21 all fulfilled by us (Church) sitting in Heaven, on thrones, in white robes with gold crowns on, as “OVERCOMERS”. We are again seen in Rev. 5:9-10 as those Redeemed by God, angels do not need redeeming, so that is us there. We are present when Jesus starts opening the 7 Seals of the Trumpet Judgment Scroll.

Revelation chapter 6 sees Jesus start opening the Seals but the seals do nothing, Judgment can not be put forth until the Judgment Scroll is completely opened up. Jesus simply prophesies here via visions unto John what is about to befall mankind back on earth. He thus shows the Church (and John) in Heaven, in this futuristic vision. THE HEREAFTER is what John is now in, he will soon be shown the 70th-week tribulation back on earth, as soon as the Seven Seals are all opened up, but here in heaven, Jesus is simply showing the Church and John via visions what he will soon bring to pass back on earth, which he will show them again via visions starting in Revelation chapter 8. The first Four Seals/Four Horses represent the Anti-Christs soon to come 42-month rule. 1.)He Conquers 2.)He Brings War/Takes away the Peace 3.) Brings Famine, and finally 4.) His rule will bring Death, Sickness, and the Grave. Seal #5 is Jesus showing John that this Tyrant man/Beasts coming 42-month rule will see many Martyrs also. The 6th Seal is Jesus showing John that the same 42-month rule of the Beast will parallel with God’s coming 42-months of Wrath, as soon as the Rev. 8 Asteroid/Mountain is cast into the Sea, this Anti-Christ will go forth conquering amidst the chaos. These Seals all happen just before the Judgments Fall, as Rev. 7 says below, HOLD UP the Four Winds (Judgment) until the 144,000 are sealed in their heads, these 144,000 are the 1/3 Jews seen in Zechariah 13:8-9 who repents just before the Day of the Lord, that are in reality 3-5 million Jew who will flee Judea when they see the AoD Jesus spoke of in Matt. 24:5-17.

Revelation chapter 7, as we see above with the lead-in, means the Judgments of God or the Wrath of God has not yet started. The Trees are not burning yet, the Asteroid has not yet hit the earth, thus this chapter is designed by God to show us that the Jews who repented, now seen in Rev. 7 fleeing Judea after they repent (are sealed), and thus God protects them from these coming “Four Wind Judgments”, thus the Angel is ordered to HOLD UP these judgments that harm the trees, seas and the earth (Rev. 8 asteroid). Then in Rev. 7:9-17 we see the Raptured Church in Heaven, the same ones seen in Rev. 4:1, Rev. 4:4, and Rev. 5:9-10. The Church which came out of the “CONTINUAL GREAT TROUBLES” we have on this earth as Jesus cited John 16:33. Only now does God’s Wrath hit in the next chapter, after the Jews who repented are safe in the Petra/Bozrah area where God Himself will protect them for 1260 days.

Revelation chapter 8, God’s Wrath starts when the 7th Seal of the Judgment Scroll is removed. As soon as the 7th Seal is taken off the Angels start readying the Judgment Trumps. NOTICE: no Angel readied a “Seal Judgment” because there is no such thing, the Angels do indeed ready the 7 Vial Judgments in Rev. chapter 15, and they also ready these 7 Trump Judgments as seen here in Rev.  chapter 8, but not the “7 Seal Judgments”, because there are no Seal Judgments, the 7 Seals simply seal up a scroll of Judgments. The Judgments are the 7 Trumps, and the 7 Vials, which are in essence the 7th Trump/3rd Woe. So, Trump #1 is God’s Wrath falling (the Seal 6 Prophecycoming to pass along with Joel 2:31 coming to pass), the fire coming in burns up the trees as seen in Trumpet #1. Then the Asteroid impact happens in Trumpet #2. The same asteroids Nuclear Fallout/Sulfer Fallout etc. (whatever it is), happens just after the impact, thus “Wormwood” is seen in Trumpet #3. Then in Trumpet #4, we see that the Sun and Moon/Stars all go dark by 1/3 via the smoke in the atmosphere, this thus fulfills both the Seal #6 and Joel 2:31 prophesies, and the moon will no doubt turn “Blood Red” because of the fire’s effect on it, the moon will have a “Red Hue” because of the fires back on earth, it will appear to be blood red to the naked eye. Finally, in Rev. 8:13 an Angel announces that the last Three Trumps yet to sound are indeed the three yet to come Woes.

Revelation chapter 9 is the first two Woes. I see the First Woe as God allowing Apollyon and his hordes of bound up demons out of the bottomless pit in order to be over the 7 Headed Beast once again, as he was before as shown in Rev 17, the Beast that WAS———–IS NOT———-YET IS. Thus Apollyon is the Scarlet Colored Beast of Rev. 17, he is let out here in Rev. 9, which shows chapter 17 will be a Parenthetical Citation type chapter. The Second Woe is IMHO, a host of Angels who brings forth God’s Plagues onto mankind. Until this point in time, every chapter has been in perfect Chronological Order, now the book of Revelation diverges onto a different path, we start seeing the Parenthetical Citation Chapters in Revelation chapter 10. I am going to SKIP to Revelation 15 & 16 which I think is all one chapter, later divided by humans, which goes together perfectly in that the Angels ready the 7 Vials in Revelation chapter 15 and then deliver the 7 Vials in Rev. chapter 16, whereas the Trumpet Judgments were both READIED & DELIVERED in Rev. chapter 8, as shown in one chapter, not divided, thus I think Rev. chapters 15 & 16 also goes together likewise. 

Revelation chapters 15 & 16 is the next chapter as pertaining unto the Chronological Order of the book of Revelation. Thus we see the Vials readied in Heaven, then we see the 7th Trump brings the 3rd Woe, which is the 7 Vials of God’s Wrath in full. We see the final judgments brought unto the wicked, and in the 6th Vial we see that the Kings of the WHOLE WORLD gather to fight against God Almighty, thus in the 7th Vial when Jesus lands on the Mount and splits it asunder, and then defeats all of those gathered against Israel at Armageddon, God Himself calls them Babylon the Great (Rev. 16:19) whom He has given the cup of wine the fierceness of his Wrath. Thus we know Babylon is the WHOLE WORLD Governed by Satan the liar, who has deceived (Babel) and confused these people so much so that they have chosen to take up arms and to fight against their own loving Creator. The word Babel = Confusion, and thus it is aptly described here, Satan’s Dark Kingdom on this earth, over mankind is indeed “Babylon the Great”.

Parenthetical Citation definition = Parenthetical citations are citations to original sources that appear in the text of your paper. This allows the reader to see immediately where your information comes from, and it saves you the trouble of having to make footnotes or endnotes.

Parenthetical citations are notes in parentheses that let a reader know what original sources you used in the body of your research paper. These notes make it easier for the reader because they don’t have to stop reading to know what is source material. In other words, the parenthetical notes don’t disrupt the flow of the paper. This saves the writer from having to create endnotes or footnotes, and it gives the reader immediate access to the sources.

God uses this in a much grander way, God now shows John in Rev. chapters 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and most of Revelation chapter 19 “OTHER EVENTS” that happen at the exact same time on earth as Rev. chapters 8, 9 and 16, the Judgment Chapters. In other words, God’s Wrath starts with the Rev. chapter 8 Trumpet Judgments, we see these Judgments also in Rev. chapters 9 and 16.

In Rev. chapter 10 however we are shown John swallowing a book that was both sour and sweet, then he is told when the 7 Thunders Sound the Mystery of God would finally be revealed in full and “time would be no more” [as we know it]. This simply means that when the 7 Trumpets Sound and God has Judged this evil world, Jesus will take over and time as we once knew it will be no more, Satan will lose his kingdom, and Jesus will become King of kings and Lord of lords on this earth. Thus he now sits at God’s side, but soon God will give Jesus this earth for his kingdom also. That is “The Mystery of the 7 Thunders”. Jesus will take over after the 7th Thunder as Rev. chapter 11 and 16 clearly shows us. Thus Rev. chapter 10 is a FLASHFORWARD to the very end of Satan’s reign on this earth. Babylon has Fallen!!

Revelation chapter 11 is about the calling/parameters of the Two-witnesses 1260 day ministry on this earth.  We understand that they die at the 2nd Woe, just before the Beast dies at the 7th Vial/3rd Woe, so that means they have to show up before the Beast conquers Israel at the 1260 event in the middle of the week. Because both the Two-witnesses and the Beast have 1260 day Ordained Offices on this earth via God Almighty Himself. He does that so we humans can understand these end-time timelines by juxtaposing their “TIMELINES” against each other. There is no reason why God allows Elijah and Moses die except to give us a juxtaposition of their timelines as juxtaposed against the Beasts timeline, so we can deduce or understand both of their timelines in full. Thus we know the Two-witnesses have to show up before the Anti-Christ Conquers Israel to become the Beast at the 1260, thus we know the Two-witnesses are indeed the 1335 Blessing. They show up 1335 days before the Second Coming (ends all these wonders as Dan. 12 says) and thus they thus show up 75 days before the Beast shows up and they also have to thereby show up 45 days before the False Prophet/Jewish High Priest stops or forbids Jesus Worship in the temple of God(takes away the Sacrifice), then the False Prophet places the AoD of the E.U. President in the Temple as Rev. 13 says he does (makes an image of the Beast). So, this chapter starts 75 days before Rev. chapter 8 starts. The Two-witnesses get Israel to repent (1/3 of the Jews repent in Zechariah 13:8-9) just before the coming Day of the Lord (God’s Wrath) falls at the 1260 middle of the week Event. Then in Revelation 11:1-3 we can see they are called unto the Jews ONLY via the Measurements shown. The 7th Trump which ends Satan’s reign, and where Jesus takes over is not a real-time event in the book of Revelation as per this chapter, this is a Parenthetical Citation Chapter (REMEMBER) thus this Rev. 11, Seventh Trump is a rehashing of the Rev. 16 Seven Vials which ends via the 7th Vial and Jesus taking over. We are told that the 3rd Woe will come quickly in Rev. ch. 11, then we are told that the 7th Trump will bring victory via the 3rd Woe which is soon to come (the 3rd Woe is all 7 Vials combined), at that time Jesus conquers the Beast and all his Armies and that victory is described in Rev. chapter 16 in full. Likewise, the 2nd Woe is mentioned also in Revelation chapter 11 but is only described via the Rev. 9 actions of the actual 2nd Woe, so likewise, the Revelation 11 Trumpet is mentioned in brief in Rev. 11, but only described in the Rev. 16 Vials !! So, in essence, God gives us one whole chapter about the lives and times of the Two-witnesses which covers 1335 days until Jesus’ Second Coming ends all these wonders Daniel was shown in Daniel chapter 12. So this chapter starts just before Rev. 8 and ends with Revelation 16:19 where we see that Babylon Falls !!

Revelation chapter 12 is Israel being chased into the wilderness where God will protect her (Woman) for 1260 days, so Rev. 12 starts with the Rev. 8 Asteroid Impact or just before the Impact because Israel starts fleeing 30 days before she gets Conquered, but Rev. 12 is about God protecting Israel for 1260 days and Satan being cast down to earth at that point in time also. So, as pertaining to the last 3.5 years timeline, this chapter overlaps all of the other Judgments as seen in Revelation chapters 8, 9 and, 16.

Revelation chapter 13 starts with the Rev. 8 Asteroid Impact also, we know this because that is when the White Horse goes forth conquering amidst the chaos. So, this White Horse/Anti-Christ/ rules for 42 months during the Trumpet Judgments (Rev. 8) and the Rev. 9 Trumpets/2 Woes and the Rev. 16 Vials/3rd Woe.

Revelation chapter 14 is The Harvest Chapter, we see the 144,000 (3-5 million Jews) and Jesus shows up and Harvests the Wheat (Israel) in the first few verses. In verses 17-20 we see the Wine-press Wrath via the Grape Harvest of the Wicked. But in verse 14 we see a FLASHBACK to the Pre-trib Rapture where Jesus himself thrusts in the sickle to Harvest the Church (Barley) from upon a cloud (we meet him in the air). Barley doesn’t need to be crushed before it can be sifted. Thus this chapter covers the full 7 years.

Revelation chapter 17 comes next, this chapter also starts in Rev. chapter 8 via the 10 Kings (E.U. Leaders) coming together to plot the Harlots demise, but the actual Harlot covers all time on earth because this Harlot is ALL FALSE RELIGION of All Time. She is the worshiping of Jupiter, Zeus, the Horoscope and Babylonian religions, she is Baal worship etc. all, and she is also Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism worship as well as Humanism etc. any religion that does not say that the God of Abraham is God and that Jesus Christ is His beloved son who died for all mankind’s sin is thus a “Harlot Religion”. The Harlot gets killed off by these 10 Kings (All of Collective Europe Combined). So, this story is about what goes down during the Anti-Christs 42-month rule on earth, and these kings forbidding all religious practices except Beast Worship, and thus they “Kill off the Harlot [Religions]. This chapter is also about Apollyon arising out of the Bottomless Pit, the Demon who kills the Two-witnesses. 

Revelation chapter 18 covers the same 42 months because this is the poetic tale by God of His Wrath on Babylon the Great (Satan’s Dark Kingdom on earth over human beings). This, of course, starts with the Rev. 8 Asteroid Impact because this is the Judgment of Babylon (WHOLE WORLD as Rev. 16:19 explains) This of course covers Rev. chapters 9 and 16 also. There are some clues in this chapter. In verse 2 we see that Babylon (this world) has become the Habitation of Devils/Demons, and, of course, we see Satan is cast down to earth and Apollyon and his hordes of Demons released from the Bottomless Pit, thus demons are now all over this earths domain. In verse 4 we see God saying “come out of her my people lest you partake in her (Babylon) sin and thus also receive of her plagues”. This is God telling Israel to flee Judea, which they are seen doing in Rev. 7 and in Rev. 12. We get two more clues that Babylon is destroyed over the course of 42 months, except most people can’t seem to decode these codes. Verse 8 says her plagues will come in ONE DAY and verse 10 says her judgment will come in ONE HOUR, both mean 42 months. We know the Day of the Lord starts on ONE DAY and is called the Day of the Lord but we also know it lasts 42 months. We also see in Rev. 17:12 that the 10 Kings rule ONE HOUR with the Beast and we know the Beast rules for 42 months, so both of these are clues telling us it will take Babylon (this whole evil world under Satan’s Dark Rule) 42 months of Judgment before she falls. Then, as we all know, Satan gets locked in the bottomless pit for 1000 years.

Rev. chapter 19 basically covers the full 7 years also as does Rev. chapter 14. We see the Raptured Bride in Heaven (us the Church) where we marry Jesus then return to earth with him in order to be a part of Jesus’ victory, where Jesus merely SPEAKS VICTORY (So he kills the Anti-Christ WITHOUT HAND as Dan. 2 and Dan. 7 and 8 all says) and thus the only part of Rev. 19 that does not happen during the Revelation Judgment Chapters of 8, 9 and 16 is where the Anti-Christ and False Prophet are cast into hell, after his 1260 day rule on earth as the Beast.

Of course, Revelation chapters 20 (Judgment Seat) 21 (the Ever-after) and, 22 (New Jerusalem) all happen after Rev. ch. 19 ends Satan’s Dark Rule on earth. 

To understand the Revelation TIMELINES one has to understand that the middle of the 70th week is the KEY, thus the 1260 is key, thus the Rev. 8 Asteroid Impact is key, thus everything in the end times is centered around the Daniel 1260, 1290, and, 1335 Prophetic Understandings given unto Daniel by the Man in Linen (Jesus) in Dan. 12.

Everything up until Rev. 4:1 is the Church Age Period/Time of the Gentiles on earth. Everything after that is the 70th week period as seen (BELOW)

Up until Rev. 8 everything happens in the First Half of the 70th week, Rev. 4 and 5 is the Church in Heaven with Jesus, probably AFTER the Marriage which we can clearly see in Rev. ch. 19, but then again I have already stated that Rev. ch. 19 covers the full 7 years for a reason. Rev. ch. 6 is Jesus amidst the Church in Heaven opening the Seven Seals and Prophesying what is about to befall mankind back on earth when God’s Wrath/Judgments finally falls in Rev. chapter 8. Then in Revelation chapter 7 we see the 3-5 million Jews Fleeing Judea (REMEMBER Rev. 18:4, Come out of her my people !! We see that in Rev. 7, the 144, 000 is ALL Israel who repents) So, all of that happens in the first half of the 70th week or in the first 1260 days of the 70th week. Everything after the Rev. chapter 8 judgments, basically happens during the last 1260 days, thus the 1260 is basically the dividing line God uses to teach us how to understand His end-time timelines !!

….Two-witnesses……..Anti-Christ goes forth Conquering..

_________1335________1260_____________

Revelation chapters 8, 9 and, 16 are the Judgment Chapters and thus God’s judgments start in Rev. chapter 8, moves on to the Rev. chapter 9 Two Woes and, unto the Revelation chapter 16 Third Woe (which are the 7 Vials all combined) which bring Jesus’ Victory over Satan, the Beast and his False Prophet. Thus these three chapters last for 42 months. They cover the whole 42 months of God’s Wrath after the above 1260 middle of the week.

Download

Revelation chapters 12, 13, 17 and, 18 all start at the 1260 middle of the week Event also, because each is about the Anti-Christ and his rule on earth (Revelation chapters 12, 13 and, 17) are about God’s 42 months of Wrath, meanwhile, Revelation chapter 18 describes all of these Judgments in one chapter. Revelation chapter 11 is about the Two-witnesses 1335 appearance, where they both Witnesses for 1260 days, are then killed by Apollyon, and then ascend unto Heaven. Rev. 14 and 19 both cover the full 7 years of the 70th week. This is why all of these chapters are Parenthetical Citation Chapters, they cover the book of Revelation chapters that have already been covered once, thus the Parenthetical tagline. 

Thus the book of Revelation is no longer a mystery unto the masses, God has revealed His coded message unto mankind, and His TIMELINES are also revealed !!

Is the Falling Away is a False Teaching?

I have evolved with much study on this. I used to argue to all that there had to be this great Falling Away also. All because of this one passage. 2 Thessalonians 2:3. I do agree that the world gets far more evil towards the (now) end, as foretold in Romans chapter 1, and as Peter said, there will be scoffers in the last days etc. etc. But I do not think the True Church can “Fall Away”, either you are of Christ/God or you are not, and will get left behind by the Bridegroom. Anyway, here is my understanding of 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

“Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction…” – 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NASB) This verse is used by many and they say it implies a “Falling Away” from the faith. But a guy named Tommy Ice has shed some exceptional light on this passage.

Mr. Ice has pointed out that the Greek noun, apostasia, is used only twice in the New Testament. The other occurrence is in Acts 21:21 where it states that an accusation was made against Paul that he was “teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake [apostasia] Moses.”

The word is used in verb form a total of 15 times in the New Testament, and only three of these have anything to do with a departure from the faith (Luke 8:13, 1 Timothy 4:1, and Hebrews 3:12). In other settings, the word is used for departing from iniquity (2 Timothy 2:19), departing from ungodly men (1 Timothy 6:5), departing from the temple (Luke 2:27), departing from the body (2 Corinthians 12:8), and departing from persons (Acts 12:10 and Luke 4:13).

This insight about the use and meaning of the word was certainly compelling, but the argument Mr. Ice presented that was most convicting was his revelation that the first seven English translations of the Bible rendered the noun, apostasia, as either “departure” or “departing.”

They were as follows:

1.The Wycliffe Bible (1384)

2.The Tyndale Bible (1526)

3. The Coverdale Bible (1535)

4. The Cranmer Bible (1539)

5. The Great Bible (1540)

6. The Beeches Bible (1576)

7. The Geneva Bible (1608)

Mr. Ice also noted that the Bible used by the Western world from 400 AD to the 1500s — Jerome’s Latin translation known as “The Vulgate” — rendered apostasia with the Latin word, discessio, which means “departure.” The first translation of the word to mean apostasy in an English Bible did not occur until 1611 when the King James Version was issued. So, why did the King James translators introduce a completely new rendering of the word as “falling away”? The best guess is that they were taking a stab at the false teachings of Catholicism.

One other point Mr. Ice made that I think is significant is that Paul used a definite article with the word apostasia. The significance of this is emphasized by Daniel Davey in a thesis he wrote for the Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary:

Since the Greek language does not need an article to make the noun definite, it becomes clear that with the usage of the article, reference is being made to something in particular. In 2 Thessalonians 2:3 the word apostasia is prefaced by the definite article which means that Paul is pointing to a particular type of departure clearly known to the Thessalonian church.

In light of this grammatical point, Tommy observed that “the use of the definite article would support the notion that Paul spoke of a clear, discernible notion.” And that notion he had already identified in verse 1 when he stated that he was writing about “our gathering together to Him [Jesus].” This interpretation also corresponds to the point that Paul makes in verses 6 and 7 where he states that the man of lawlessness will not come until what “restrains” him “is taken out of the way.”

And what it is that restrains evil in the world today? The Holy Spirit working through the Church. I think when the Church Departs, the Anti-Christ will be free to come to power.

I do not think this has anything to do with a Falling Away. It is the Church Departing before the Anti-Christ is brought forth. The King James Bible changed the known understanding that has been around for 1500 some odd years.

Daniel 11 & 12 historically explained step by step.

European Anti-Christ: is this the Seven Year Covenant?(Agreement)

Its really weird that I ran upon this by chance. Israel and the European Union entered into a treaties for Seven Years from 2007-2013 and then another treaties was signed in 2014 and runs through 2020. Those of course are seven year treaties/agreements/covenants. And to top that its with “MANY”.

European Neighborhood Policy

The European Union’s European Neighborhood Policy(ENP) aims at bringing the EU and its neighbors closer, to their mutual benefit and interest. It was launched in 2004 to help the EU support and foster stability, security and prosperity in its closest neighborhood.

The European Neighborhood Policy governs the EU’s relations with 16 of the its closest Eastern and Southern Neighbors. To the South: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine*, Syria** and Tunisia, and to the East: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. Russia takes part in Cross-Border Cooperation activities under the ENP, but is not part of the ENP as such.

Focus on stabilization

At the heart of the EU’s neighborhood policy lies the stabilization of the region, in political, socio-economic and security-related terms. The EU is committed to supporting the economic development of its partner countries, and to improve the aspirations, hopes and prospects of the local population, while keeping a strong focus on good governance, democracy and the rule of law. This commitment translates into action through the implementation of sustainable regional and bilateral program’s and projects on the ground.

“Our most important challenge today is to find ways for the young men and women in our region to see a meaningful future; a sense of belonging to a local and global community where they can offer and get rewards for their individual skills. We need to send them the message that we see the future of this region as one of cooperation and exchange” – Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner for Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations

For the period 2014-2020 (Seven Years), the European Neighborhood Policy has a budget of €15.4 billion.

The European Neighbourhood Instrument

From the ENPI to the ENI

Starting from 2014, the European Neighborhood Instrument (ENI) has replaced the European Neighborhood Partnership Instrument (ENPI 2006-2013). The ENI will run until 2020 providing the framework and bulk of funding for the relations between the European Union (EU) and Partner Countries under the renewed European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). Besides bilateral and multi-country program’s, support will be granted through cross-border cooperation of which the new ENI CBC “Mediterranean Sea Basin” Program’s is part.

EU and Neighbours: evolving relations

Cooperation, peace and security, mutual accountability and a shared commitment to the universal values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights, are the founding principles of the special relationship between the EU and the Neighbourhood countries of the East and the South.

The aim of that partnership should be “to establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness, founded on the values of the Union and characterized by close and peaceful relations based on cooperation”, according to the Treaty on European Union.

Since it was launched, in 2004, the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) has been strengthening relations, bringing tangible benefits to both the EU and its Neighbourhood partners, including the introduction of regional initiatives and support to democratization.

The European Neighbourhood Instrument

Relations and goals will be further advanced through the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI), which has replaced the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI), so that it reflects real needs and considerations that have emerged over the years. The Regulation setting up the ENI underlines that it should give support to the implementation of the political initiatives shaping the ENP, including the Eastern Partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean.

Giving incentives and rewarding best performers, as well as offering funds in a faster and more flexible manner, are the two main principles underlying the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) worth over €15 billion from 2014-2020.

Based on the experiences gained until today, the ENI will support the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and turn decisions taken on a political level into actions on the ground.

Effective from 2014 to 2020 the ENI seeks to streamline financial support, concentrating on agreed policy objectives, and make programming shorter and better focused, so that it is more effective.

The ENI will build on the achievements of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and bring more tangible benefits to both the EU and its Neighbourhood partners. It has a budget of €15.433 billion and will provide the bulk of funding to the European Neighbourhood countries through a number of programmes.

The 16 ENI Partner Countries are:

ENI South – Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya Morocco, Palestine, Syria*, Tunisia

ENI East – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine

* EU Cooperation with Syria is currently suspended due to the political situation

Relations with Russia: Russia has a special status, as relations with this country are not developed through the ENP, but a strategic partnership covering four “common spaces”. Therefore it is only eligible for ENI regional and Cross-Border Cooperation programmes, for which it co-finances projects. Bilateral cooperation with Russia is funded under the new Partnership Instrument (PI).

The ENI – what’s new?

What makes this instrument more effective, is that, under the ENI, assistance to Neighbours will:

• Become faster and more flexible, reducing the complexity and length of the programming process so that the relevance of the assistance is not undermined;
• Offer incentives for best performers through the more-for-more approach that allows the EU to increase its support to those partners that are genuinely implementing what has been jointly agreed;
• Be increasingly policy-driven based on the key policy objectives agreed with the partners, mainly in the ENP bilateral action plans;
• Allow for greater differentiation so that the EU allocates a greater proportion of funds where aid can have the highest impact;
• Aim for mutual accountability so that it takes greater account of human rights, democracy and good governance when it comes to allocating assistance.

The ENI will also encourage closer links between the EU and partner countries to enable their citizens to participate in successful EU internal programmes, such as on student mobility, youth programmes or support to civil society. Special emphasis will be given to engagement with civil society.

This funding instrument, that responds to the evolving relations between the EU and its partner countries, will continue to ensure the success of the democratisation process and improve economic and social development in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood. Itwill support the reform process already undertaken by the partner countries themselves.

Six ENI targets

(1) Fostering human rights and fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, equality, sustainable democracy, good governance and a thriving civil society.

(2) Achieving progressive integration into the EU internal market and enhanced co-operation including through legislative approximation and regulatory convergence, institution building and investments.

(3) Creating conditions for well managed mobility of people and promotion of people-to-people contacts.

(4) Encouraging development, poverty reduction, internal economic, social and territorial cohesion, rural development, climate action and disaster resilience.

(5) Promoting confidence building and other measures contributing to security and the prevention and settlement of conflicts.

(6) Enhancing sub-regional, regional and Neighbourhood wide collaboration as well as Cross-Border Cooperation.

How support is given

Support through the ENI is programmed and given in three different ways:

• bilateral programmes covering support to one partner country;
• multi-country programmes which address challenges common to all or a number of partner countries, and regional and sub-regional cooperation between two or more partner countries;
• Cross-Border Cooperation programmes between Member States and partner countries taking place along their shared part of the external border of the EU (including Russia). The ENI CBC “Mediterreanane Sea Basin” Programme is part of the cross-border cooperation component of the ENI.

Priority areas

Some of the ENI cooperation areas that will be given high priority are:

• Boosting small businesses
• Civil-society engagement
• Climate change action
• Easier mobility of people
• Energy cooperation
• Gender equality promotion
• Gradual economic integration
• People-to-people contacts
• Transport connections
• Youth and employment

Israels first deal/treaties with the E.U. was 2007-2013, I went back a ways to find this:

EUROPEAN NEIGHBORHOOD AND PARTNERSHIP INSTRUMENT

ISRAEL
STRATEGY PAPER
2007-2013
&
INDICATIVE PROGRAMME
2007-2010
Executive Summary

This Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Israel covers the period 2007-2013 (Seven Years). Support to Israel over that period will be provided under the new European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) which is being established to provide assistance for the development of an area of prosperity and good neighborliness involving the European Union and the partner countries covered by the European Neighborhood Policy (ENP). Under this new instrument, specific assistance is provided to all partner countries that have concluded an Action Plan with the EU to support the implementation of the Action Plan.

Funding levels for Israel under the national ENPI envelope are currently estimated at €14 million for the period 2007-2013. Israel will also be eligible under the ENPI regional and cross-border cooperation program’s. Given the scope of the allocation, the most suitable approach seems to be to concentrate on support activities for the implementation of the Action Plan priorities, mainly in the form of institutional cooperation.

So we have the framework already in place for the future Seven Year Treaties, Agreement/Covenant and its with “MANY” just as Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 8:25 says it will be. And its between the E.U. (10 Kings out of the Fourth Beast) and Israel.

This makes so much sense also, who thinks the Rapture would happen, then negotiations would start on a “Treaties” at that moment? Those kind of deals take years to be worked out, thus its an ongoing series of Treaties so to speak, and when the Rapture happens it seemingly just gets renewed for Seven Years.

We live in fascinating times my friends.

Daniel’s 70 Weeks Decree against Israel

In Daniel 9:24, Daniel prophesied that these six things must come to pass before this judgment against Israel would be fulfilled. Some think Jesus fulfilled all of these, most seem to think, as I do, that these things have not come to pass, and when they do that will be the end of the age.

1. Finish the transgression
2. Make and end of sins
3. To make reconciliation for iniquity
4. Bring in everlasting righteousness 
5. To seal up vision and prophecy
6. Anoint the most Holy

1. The Hebrew word used for transgression denotes revolt or rebellion. The Jewish people chose to reject God, many chose to stay in Babylon once they were freed. It also denotes their rejection of Jesus Christ. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 23:39 that the Jewish people would not see him again until they accepted him. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. So in order for Jesus to return, Israel has to repent of their rejection of God and Jesus, and Israel will open their hearts to the Messiah, as Paul, Isaiah and Zechariah (Zechariah 12:10) prophesied, among others.

2. This is fairly straightforward, sins can only end when the millennial reign starts, so by the time this 70 week decree is over, Jesus will have returned to set up his kingdom, ushering in the millennial kingdom where there will be no sins. Since the tribulation week is the last week of the 70 weeks decree, that makes perfect sense, as soon as the tribulation period ends, or the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, then “sins will end”.

3. Israel has to be reconciled unto God before the 70 weeks have been fulfilled. There is no doubt that Jesus died for all of our sins, thus the atonement for sins has been made, but there is a conditional requirement for all of us to receive that atonement, we must accept Jesus as our Savior. When Israel accepts the Messiah Jesus, as their Messiah, then the atonement for sins will have been completed, and Israel will have been reconciled unto God, thereby ushering in the millennial kingdom.

4. This 70 week decree has to bring in everlasting righteousness, and we know this can not happen until Jesus sets up his Kingdom. This world has always had sin, and always will until Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. By the time Daniels prophecy ends, it must usher in everlasting righteousness.

5. Seal up vision and prophecy, the word used here denotes to close up, meaning that before this 70th week can come to an end, all prophecy must be fulfilled or closed up. This will only happen when Israel accepts Jesus as their Messiah and he lands on Mt. Zion to rule over this wicked world with a rod of iron.

6. The very last goal that this 70 week prophecy has to usher in is the anointing of the most holy. The bible says most holy, many try to add holy place, but whether it is the temple being anointed, or Jesus Christ as Lord of Lord and Kings of Kings as I suspect, we know this must happen before the 70 weeks decree is fulfilled. And Jesus must return and rule on earth.

All six of these things have to happen before this prophecy is fulfilled. These are six spiritual goals that have to come to pass or this prophecy will not be finished or sealed up. We know these things have not come to pass yet, but we also know they are very near to happening, therefore watch, for Israel is now a nation again, and the world is against her, soon she will need her Messiah s help, then she will call upon him, and he will save her from this wicked world.

The Chronological Order of the Book of Revelation

The Chronological Order of the Book of Revelation.

It is a necessity for proper eschatology to understand the proper order of the book of Revelation as it ties together the Old Testament and the New Testament in one neat package if we are able to understand it in full. I proffer that many are confused by Revelation because it seems to be all over the place as per its order, but its really not, we just have to understand how to read it, and I truly think there is one chapter that has been misplaced and that would seem to be chapter 16, the seven vials, which are the 3rd Woe.

The Seven Churches of Asia-Minor
The first three chapters Rev. 1-3 are about the churches of Paul/Johns time on earth, Jesus is using them as an example of the coming 2000 some odd year church age. He praises and admonishes the churches as needed for an example to the coming church age which of course ends with the Rapture.

Church shown in Heaven as the Bride
In Revelation chapter 4 and 5 we see the church in heaven, wearing white raiment (Rev. 5:9-10) and Jesus calling John up to heaven with the voice as a Trumpet in Rev. 4:1 is representative of the Rapture of the church to heaven. These two chapters show God the Father to be holy and righteous and Jesus to be Worthy to open the seven seals.

The Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments
In Rev. chapter 6 Jesus starts opening the seven seals and thus kicks off the Day of the Lord or Gods Wrath. He allows mankind the desire of their wicked hearts, to have a man rule them with no intervention from God whom they have rejected as immoral, wicked, old fashioned, and/or non existent. Thus Satan gets his hearts desire, to bring forth a one world Government, ruled by one man whom demands to be worshiped as God. This is why all of the Seals are Gods Wrath, in His anger He takes away the protective hedge on mankind, the Church is now in heaven, God allows the wicked to be ruled by their own hearts desire.

The four horses are all associated with the Anti-Christ/Little Horn who comes forth via the first seal being opened to conquer. He takes peace from the world suggesting he deceived many by peace (Daniel 8:25), the famines are a result of wars, food doesn’t get to the needy during wars or is not grown. The pale green horse stands for sickness and the grave, 1/4 of all mankind will be killed or 1.5 billion people. When Jesus opens the 5th Seal his anger intensifies, he sees the Beheaded Saints (Remnant Church of Rev. 12:17) and gives them their white robes, telling them they must wait until their fellow brothers have been killed also, meaning until the Beasts 42 month reign of terror is over. Jesus now opens the 6th Seal and the sun goes dark, the moon turns blood red, the stars fall to earth and there is a massive earthquake. It dawns on mankind that this is not just a World War by a tyrant, this is the Day of the Lord (Wrath of God) and they have been in this Wrath of God since the very first seal was broken.

The 144,000 in Petra and the Church shown in Heaven
In Rev. chapter 7 we see the 144,000 whom the Angel is told to wait (hurt not the sea, tress nor the earth) until they are sealed in the forehead or protected until they bring forth the Plagues against mankind. I see this not as 144,000 actual people, but many, many more, its 12 x 12 x 12 or the fullness of Israel symbolically speaking. This is what Paul was referring to as ALL ISRAEL will be saved, not every Jew, but Israels seed will be preserved just as God promised Abraham. Zechariah 13 tells us that 2/3 of the Jews will perish and 1/3 will be saved, those 1/3 are ALL ISRAEL. (12 x 12 x 12 = Fullness).

The church is then shown in Rev. 7:9-14, they have on white robes and came out of the “Great Tribulation” as in the 2000 some odd year Church Age. Jesus told us we would have continual tribulation, the Romans killed many Christians, Islam in the last 1400 years have killed millions of Christians. The 2000 year church age is greater than the 7 years of the 70th week as in 2000>7. These are not the tribulation Saints who were under the alter in the 5th Seal, they were told to wait until their brothers were killed in like manner, meaning they must wait for the Beasts 42 month rule to end.

The Seventh Seal brings forth the Seven Trumpets
In Rev. chapter 8 we have the 7th Seal opened by Jesus, then the first four trumpet judgments are sounded. The grasses and trees are burned, the sea is turned to blood and sea creatures die, the drinking water is turned to blood, everything is done in THIRDS except all the grasses are burned up. The Sun and Moon and Sraes even lose a 1/3 of their light.

Chapter 9 gives us two Woes. The first is Apollyon (Scarlet Beast of Rev. 17) being released from the bottomless pit and the demons maiming mankind for 5 months but not having the power to kill. The 2nd Woe seems to be an Angelic Army of God that kills 1/3 of all the remaining people on earth. Its not 200 million China men/Chinese. Verse 20 tells us its Plagues of God against those that…..worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: (Chapter 16 is the next chapter as per the chronological order of the book of Revelation, that ends the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments.)

Rev. chapter 16 is of course the 3rd Woe, which is all seven vials just like the 7th Seal is all seven trumpets rolled into one. This means that Jesus opening the Seals in essence brought forth all of the Judgments on mankind. When we get to the 6th Vial, the demonic (three frogs) forces gather the Kings of the East (Iran/Iraq/Turkey) and all the Nations of the whole world along with the E.U. of course, where the Beast arises from, and brings them forth to Armageddon (Meggido) where Jesus lands on Mt. Zion via the 7th Vial amidst the greatest earthquake ever which splits Jerusalem into, he then destroys the Anti-Christ/Beast and all his armies by speaking forth victory. The Angel of God announces thatIT IS DONE. This ends the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments.

The Judgment Seat and the New Jerusalem.
The Beheaded are judged in Rev. 20:4 and reign with Christ on earth 1000 years. The wicked will be bound into their graves and judged in 1000 years after Satan is released for a short season. The New Jerusalem comes down in chapter 21 and we live forevermore in chapter 22.

Therein lies the exact chronological order of the Book of Revelation.

Chapters 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19 are Parenthetical Citations except in this case it is whole chapters in parenthesis. These chapters have nothing to do with the order of the book of Revelation.

The Chronological Order:
1.) Rev. 1-3 the Seven Churches.
2.) Rev. 4, 5 and 7 is the Church in heaven shown as the Bride.
3.) Rev. 6, 8, 9 and 16 is the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments.
4.) Rev. 20-22 is the Judgment Seat and the New Jerusalem.
( I think Revelation chapter 16 should follow Rev. chapter 9 )

The Parenthetical Order:
A.) Rev. 10 is the Mysterious 7 Thunders of God.
B.) Rev. 11 is the 1260 days of the Two-Witnesses plus the 75 days until Jesus returns. (Two-Witnesses 1335)
C.) Rev. 12 is the Woman (144,000) fleeing Judea from the face of the Dragon.
D.) Rev. 13 is the Beast and the False Prophet rising to power.
E.) Rev. 14 is the Harvest of the Righteous and the Wicked.
F.) Rev. 15 is the Seven Angels readying the Seven Vials in Heaven.
G.) Rev. 17 is the Harlot and the Gov. Beast she rides, she is killed off by the 10 Kings.

H.) Rev. 18 is the Beast (Governance under Satan/Whole World) being pelted by the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Plagues. It destroys Commerce of course, and the world is full of devils or the habitation of devil now that Satan is kicked out of heaven and Apollyon is released from the bottomless pit.

I.) Rev. 19 shows the Church in Heaven before she marries the Lamb. Then she marries the Lamb, comes back to earth with Jesus on White horses, where the Beast and his minions are defeated. Armageddon is the Marriage Supper Feast, we feast on the carnage. (Carcass of Matthew 24:28, where the eagles are at the Carcass will be)

All of the above are Parenthetical Citations, they all happen during the Seal, Trumpet or Vial judgments as per their timing. For example the Beast arising out of the sea happens in Revelation chapter 6 when the Anti-Christ is released to go forth. The Woman (Israel) in Revelation chapter 12 Flees Judea at the same time (Rev. ch. 6), the Beast rules for 1260 days, she is protected in Israel for 1260 days. Rev. 11 is the full 1260 days of the Two-Witnesses ministry, it starts before the Day of the Lord (Midway point) as per Malachi 4:5-6. I can go into detail on these Parenthetical Citations later on.

Matthew 24 Revealed: Understanding The Three Timelines

Matthew 24 Revealed: Understanding The Three Timelines: Matthew 24:1-6 is about the Destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

The first question was about what Jesus had just said, the Temple being DESTROYED (When shall these things be?) The second question was what will be the Sign of your Coming. These are dealt with in order. Also Remember that false prophets and/or false chirsts are mentioned three times, in verse 5, 11 and 24 and they are THREE SEPARATE EVENTS.

If Jesus is going to give them a sign/understanding of these events, wouldn’t he walk them through the whole 2000 year period? I think he would, and clearly does. Lets go through a few of the verses to see why I believe as I do. And we know its a 2000 year period, its 2017 SMILE. Well Almost 2000 years.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Jesus here is warning the Disciples not to be deceived, it is well known that the Rabbis/Pharisees in order to put down the “Jesus movement” and because they thought the Roman occupation was the END TIMES or the Fourth Beast and thus they were expecting the “Little Horn” at any moment to come forth. Thus they were “Looking” for the Messiah to come forth and save them, so they put forth various Messiahs just before the Temple and Jerusalem’s destruction, which was caused by their rebellion against Rome. Jesus is telling his Disciples not to fall for the lies, many will come in my name, saying I am the Messiah, but they will not be me Returning !! It is not that time he tells them, do not fall for the lies for the End is not yet. The end will be by and by.

He was basically warning his Disciples not to come back to Jerusalem when they heard of these things, thinking that it was Jesus come again, like in Zechariah 14, because if they heard the rumors and came back to Jerusalem, no doubt they would be in the line of fire and probably killed, so his warning was to STAY AWAY. Don’t buy the false stories of Christ is in Jerusalem is what Jesus here is informing his Disciples. He is informing them that they will hear of Wars and Rumors of wars, no doubt Jesus knew many of the Disciples would venture afar taking the Gospel unto all the world, thus they would not see this destruction of the Temple, some would, but many would just hear of the destruction to come. Jesus tells them, THIS IS NOT THE END !! Meaning that even though the Pharisees and Rabbis were looking for the Messiah to Save them, (from Rome) this was not the time of Jesus’ Second Coming, thus he says, the END IS NOT YET !!

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then Jesus seems to shift into a futuristic 2000 year period of time from 70 AD to the coming Rapture. He speaks about Nations against Nations, Kingdoms against Kingdoms, famines, pestilences and earthquakes, and he says these are the Beginnings of Sorrows !! The Greek word used for sorrows implies BIRTH PANGS, this is Jesus telling the Disciples that all of these things Must happen first, and that will be the Sign (BIRTH PANG) that the end is near. The next few verses are also covering the full 2000 year period, speaking at times about the Disciples, and at other times about the whole 2000 year period, until the Rapture.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

I think this is mainly Jesus telling his Disciples about their coming fate. Many people would betray them, and most all of the Disciples would become Martyrs, save John and a couple of others. They don’t kill you if they don’t hate you right? And no doubt, many betrayed them, like Judas betrayed Jesus.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I think this is speaking of the overall period from 70 AD, until the Rapture. Jesus throws this in to let everyone know, there will be many false prophets (Jonestown, and cults like it have risen over the 2000 year period since Jesus’ death) and because of sin or the acceptance thereof, (at the end times or Birth Pangs) the love of Many shall wax Cold…..Abortion, Murder, Homosexuality being pushed as normal etc. etc. Then Jesus says, BUT….. out of all of these things I have described unto you all, (Matthew 24:7-13) he that endures all things that might come upon him, he that KEEPS THE FAITH until the End (of his life) the same shall be SAVED. In other words if we turn from God/Jesus and return unto the world, we will be cast out of Jesus’ mouth as Lukewarm. We must overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb, we can not turn back to living a sinful life, we must endure all of our temptations. It doesn’t mean we will not Sin……….It just means we can not turn back unto a sinful lifestyle. WE MUST ENDURE IN CHRIST until the end. We are to run the Marathon. Amen

This above is Jesus answering their questions, “When shall these things be”? He walks them through the full 2000 year period between when he was alive, until he calls the Church home at the Rapture. The destruction of the Temple is spoken of but Jesus says, the end is not yet !! Then Jesus finishes the 2000 panoramic view. The Rapture scriptures of Matthew 24:36-51 should actually be next, verses 36-51 should come after verse 13 or 14. But Mathew did not have a clue about the Rapture, so he (correctly) placed it with the Second Coming verses 29-31, at least in his thinking it was correct.

On to the 70th Week of Daniel now. The 3 1/2 years of Peace/Security followed by the 3 1/2 years of Gods Wrath. The Rapture happens after verse 13 or 14. In my honest opinion Matthew 24:36-51, belongs right here.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, {whoso readeth, let him understand} 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Verse 14 kind of belongs with verses 7-13, but it can also go on this side of the 2000 year divide. It straddles the gap so to speak. The Gospel must be preached unto all the World, then the END WILL COME !! This is very clear, once the Church has preached the Gospel unto all the world for a witness to Jesus’ saving Grace, then and only then can the End Times come upon us. Jesus then goes on to tell us/disciples about this End Time Period. He warns the Jewish peoples that when they see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, they should Flee Jerusalem. THIS IS AN END TIME EVENT………There is no doubt about that at all. Now Jesus must answer the next question(s), what will be the Sign of thy coming, and what will be the end (of the age) of time.

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, (THE Anti-Christ and False Prophet here) and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Jesus is telling his Disciples, and thus warning the Jewish peoples of the coming Tribulation Period what to look for. He is warning them not to fall for the Anti-Christ and False Prophets tricks when they try to entice Israel to come out of their safe space, where God says in Revelation 12 that he will protect them for 1260 days, from the Anti-Christ/Dragon (Satan). Israel have accepted Jesus as their Messiah by this time. (Malachi 4:5-6) So of course the Anti-Christ and False Prophet wants to deceive them into thinking Jesus has RETURNED (because they want to kill them, of course) and is in the Desert or Secret Chambers !! But Jesus says do not fall for their lies, for I will not be in the Desert or in a Secret Chambers…. for I will be coming from the Eastern Skies for all to see. Amen.

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn (Vials 6 & 7), and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

So, Jesus tells the Jewish peoples the Signs of his Coming and when the end shall be. This is the End of the Age, no doubt. IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Tribulation of those days (Troubles/Jacobs Trouble), these signs will be in the sky and then you will see me coming in the clouds from the East, and all the tribes and nations will see the Glory of my Coming. And the Angels will gather THE ELECT from the Four Corners of Heaven, [where the Church has been for SEVEN YEARS, Marrying the Lamb] and we will Return on White Horses with Jesus Christ just as Rev. 19 says. Amen.

Now Jesus has covered the largest base of the Jewish peoples because 85-95 percent of them will not receive the Lord Jesus Christ before the Rapture that Paul has spoken about in many places, including 1 Corinthians 15. So now Jesus must cover the few Messianic Jews plight. What will happen to them at the End Times? Well they will be Raptured, along with all the dead in Christ, and those of us who are alive when Jesus calls us home to Heaven, so we can Marry the Lamb (Rev. 19) and then return with him to destroy the Anti-Christ and his Minions.

So Matthew 36-51 tells about the coming Rapture of the Church, but I will only post verses 38-42, for it emphasizes everything that needs to be said, Jesus tells the Messianic Jews about their destiny : (This should come just after Matthew 24:13-14)

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

This of course happens right before the Tribulation, or Jacobs Troubles. If this actually happened during the Tribulation period would they be Drinking/Marrying and having a grand ole time? No, of course not, that makes no sense, the Jewish nation will be in hiding in the Wilderness, (Rev. 12) and the wicked men of earth will be dodging the plagues of Gods Wrath, there will be no one who will be having fun just before Jesus’ SECOND COMING, that I can assure you !! So this is the Rapture here, we are expectant, but Surprised when Jesus Returns. The World during Gods Wrath will not be surprised, the 6th Seal is the Gathering of nations unto Meggido for Armageddon, so does anyone really think that Jesus showing up on The Mt. of Olives at Vial number 7 is going to be a surprise? NO…..The Anti-Christ has exactly 42 Months to rule.

Jesus then illustrates what can only be the Rapture, it can not be the Second Coming. He says Two will be in the field and One will be taken and the other shall be left [Behind]. The same thing is spoken about with the women grinding at the mill, One will be taken and One left.

Then Jesus says WATCH, for you know not what hour when your Lord comes. Just like the Bride knew not what hour the Bridegroom was to come !! We know when Jesus’ Second Coming will be. Exactly 42 Months after the Anti-Christ commits the Abomination of Desolation, AND…….everyone on earth will all see Jesus (with us at his side) splitting the Eastern skies, no one will be left behind, believe me, the Wicked will be DESTROYED, not left behind. Amen.

Matthew 24:1-6 is the Destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.

Matthew 24:7-13 is the 2000 year period from 70 AD to the Rapture.

Matthew 24:36-51 is the Rapture/Matthew thought it should be with the Second Coming.

Matthew 24:15-28 is the Abomination/Time of Troubles/False Prophet and Anti-Christ time.

Matthew 24:29-31 is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Church will come back from Heaven with Jesus Christ on White Horses (Rev. 19) Amen, Glory to God.

Matthew 24:32-35 is the Parable of the “FIG TREE”. It basically is saying when the Fig Tree is ripe you know that Summer is NEAR and Likewise, when you SEE ALL OF THESE SIGNS, My Coming will be Near.

The Sign of Jesus Second Coming will…….NOT be when you see the Temples/Jerusalem’s Destruction, NOT when you see the Kingdoms vs. Kingdoms or pestilences, NOT be when the Gospel is Preached unto all the World, NOT be when the Abomination of Desolation happens, NOT be when you see the TROUBLES OF JACOB, it will NOT be when you see the false christ and false prophet, it will NOT be when you see the Sun turn dark, the moon turn red or the stars falling from the skies.

But the Second Coming will only happen when you see ALL OF THESE SIGNS COME TO PASS !! 

Basically this is a multi faceted prophecy, that takes deep thinking and revelation from God to understand via much prayer. 

Israel and the Church are Two Different Entities

THIS QUESTION WAS ASKED ME ONCE………Can a person be a child of God just because they are a direct descendant of Abraham, but have rejected Christ? Isn’t Israel and the church one and the same?

MY ANSWER & EXEGESIS ON THE CHURCH AND ISRAEL 

No !! but you can be a child of Abraham and there is a Spiritual Abraham and Physical Abraham, both can be spoken of in various ways. So when Paul speaks of BLIND ISRAEL. Is he speaking of Abraham’s descendants or not ? HELLO. He just inferred they aren’t Israel, but Paul says they are Israel, they are JUST BLIND.

Paul is trying to point something out by using a demonstration, and its not being picked up on by the masses it seems. He is pointing out Israel has been blinded for an appointed time. Then he speaks about Israel’s true seed being of the believers being like unto Abraham. Well, OK, we understand this. But where does it say that Israel are not descendants of Abraham, the chosen people of God ? Oh, I get it, people think because Paul said not all Israel is Israel that they are not God’s chosen people, but they missed something right in front of their eyes.

Romans 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: (You see, they are still ISRAEL IN THE FLESH….This seems to not be understood.) 4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises…

We have always understood that not all Jews go to heaven. Why do people not understand that this is a forgone conclusion? Many of Israel’s Kings were wicked and are in hell or will be in hell shortly. So its obvious, not all who are born unto the seed of Abraham are God’s people per se or of God, but rather those who live by Faith and Obey God are His true seed. That has always been understood, But, Israel is still the chosen people of God, and He will call them to repentance before the Day of the Lord, thus ALL ISRAEL will be Saved. This is easily proven. Follow me here for a brief moment:

As a matter of fact, there is an inference here in Romans 9 that seems to be missed by many. Paul is speaking of Issac, he says the elder shall serve the younger. Why do people not get that in this very chapter Paul is telling Israel that God is taking the mantle away from the Elder (Israel) and making him sever the Younger (GENTILE CHURCH)?

Paul talks to the Romans, trying to tell them not to get the big head, thinking that they are special in comparison with the Jewish peoples, for it is Gods will being done, not that the GENTILES ARE SPECIAL. Then he points out what Hosea says in verse 25…..

Romans 9:25 As he saith also in Osee (Hosea), I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her (Gentiles/Church) beloved, which was not beloved. 26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Paul is calling the unbelieving nation of Israel, ISRAEL in verse 31 !! It seems people are confused as to what Paul is speaking about here, he is speaking about the elder (Israel) serving the younger (Gentile/Church) because God elected them to serve Him, just like he elected Issac instead of Esau !!

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. (AGAIN, Paul calls them ISRAEL.)

Then the next 10 or so verses speaks about Faith in Christ, then Paul says this in verse 12:

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

NO WHERE is Paul saying that the Jews and the Gentiles/Greeks are the same, only that they ALL COME TO GOD/CHRIST VIA FAITH in like manner, Paul still called Israel ISRAEL in verse one in this very Chapter. In the previous chapter Paul is pointing out that the ELDER will serve the YOUNGER. Israel’s mantel is given to the Gentiles.

The next few verses, Paul speaks about how hearing the word creates faith, and we have to have preachers sent to preach to hear, and that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jesus will be saved etc. etc. THEN Paul says this:

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

This is Paul, saying the MANTLE has been passed from Israel, to the Gentiles, the ELDER is serving the YOUNGER because God chose it that way, because He saw unbelief in the ELDER, and the YOUNGER BELIEVED God. Thus God will use them to PROVOKE ISRAEL….There it is again, Paul is differentiating the TWO right here. He is saying that God will use the Gentiles to provoke ISRAEL TO JEALOUSY !! There is a Gentile Church and an Israeli Nation.

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. { Not talking about the CHURCH HERE !! }

2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot (know) ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {God isn’t speaking about the CHURCH HERE}

5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. { Paul is speaking about TWO ENTITIES, the Gentile Church and ISRAEL !! }

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? (ISRAEL’S)

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? { Paul is still speaking about ISRAEL in a SINGULAR MANNER vs the Gentile World or Gentile Church (With a few Messianic Jews). Israel as a Nation, not Israel as the Church and the JEWS !!! You have to read man, and quit listening to MEN WHO DECEIVE, it is right here in scriptures, dig it out. }

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, IF THEY abide not still in unbelief, shall be GRAFTED IN: for God is able to graft them in again. {THEY = Israel}

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? {Paul is speaking of TWO ENTITIES again, the Church and Israel, the Olive Tree is their own Olive tree, the Gentiles are the Wild Olive tree that has been GRAFTED IN.}

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, UNTIL THE fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Paul is saying here, hey Gentile/Roman Church, do not get the BIG HEAD thinking you are better than my Brother Jews, blindness IN PART has come upon them, only until the fullness of the GENTILES IS COME IN, or until the time of the YOUNGER (Gentile Church) is finished. There are some Messianic Jews and there will always be a few, thus Israel is blinded IN PART, but there will come a time, when the Gentile Church’s mission is finished (RAPTURE), Then God WILL LIFT Israels blindness, and Elijah will turn Israel BACK TO GOD, Before the Day of the LORD !!! Amen. And ALL ISRAEL will be Saved. Meaning Israel as a Country comes back to God, and God blesses them and protects them, because they accept Jesus as THEIR MESSIAH !!

26 And so ALL ISRAEL shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: …..Jacob !!! NOT CHURCH.

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes:but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes. { Notice the TWO ENTITIES AGAIN ? Its a trend man…………..If you just take notice, its there. They are/ISRAEL/JACOB and FOR YOUR SAKE/The Gentile Church of Rome, its a plain as day man.}

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Via the Gentile Churches MERCY, God will thus ultimately have Mercy upon Israel. They will remember the Church’s sayings, and they will remember that Jesus was THE CHURCHES GOD, and that they said all of these things will come to pass, and when Paul’s writings start coming to pass, and Revelation comes to pass, and when the Church is Raptured via 100’s of millions of CHRISTIAN’S DYING AT ONCE, Israel/Jews will understand, and when Elijah comes back preaching this SAME GOSPEL, Israel will understand fully the error of their ways, it will HIT THEM LIKE A BRICK……..BOOM, Jesus is our Messiah, the scales will be lifted off, and ALL ISRAEL (As a Nation) will be Saved. Or turn to God.

We can’t take verses out of context like There is no Gentile or Jew, that only means both come to God in the EXACT SAME WAY, Via Jesus Christs Blood…………We see Paul speaking throughout Romans chapters 9-11 about the Gentile Church and Israel as SEPARATE ENTITIES continually, yet some try to force THE CHURCH IS ISRAEL false doctrine onto the world. It is a documented FALSEHOOD, and anyone that studies it will understand that, I call it Christians being lazy and not researching the subject in depth.

The Church is not ISRAEL……….And Paul never says this, he is ONLY SHOWING how all men must come to God via FAITH ALONE, after all, it is by Faith in Christ Jesus that we are SAVED, not by Works, lest any man should boast.

AMEN.

The Revelation Time Line

The Revelation Time Line

The Church Age = Rev. chapters 1-3, it is only Jesus praising and rebuking Seven TYPES of Churches via Asia Minor.

The Rapture of the Church

Rev. 4:1 is in all reality relative to John since he will be Raptured at the very time all the rest of us will be Raptured, just before the 70th week. Remember, there is 3.5 years of PEACE and we know this via Dan. 9:27 and Dan. 8:25, even via Rev. ch. 6 where the Red Horse takes away the PEACE from earth. So John being Raptured in ch. 4 is in essence a TYPE of the Church being Raptured just before the 70th week begins, then we see the Church Elders in Heaven with White Raiment (Robes) on in Rev. 4:4 and we see the Church saying Christ has REDEEMED US in Rev. 5:9 . Lets compare all of the VERSES:

Rev. 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Rev. 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Thus those scriptures ABOVE must happen after the scriptures BELOW: In Rev. 4:4 we see the White Robes on, in Rev. 5:9 we see they are REDEEMED. They Marriage happens in Rev. 19:7-8.

Rev. 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

So wrapping these two chapters up, Jesus is about to open the First Seal, he is found Worthy to open the Sealed Scroll. The Anti-Christ comes forth in the Middle of the Week or at the 1260 to Conquer and thus he becomes the Beast. Thus the First Seal is the Middle of the Week. Thus Rev. 6:1 is the 1260, everything after the First Seal is a part of the last half of the 70th Week. Rev. 19, as I have proven, has already begun before the First Seal is broken, the Bride has her White Robes on in Rev. ch. 4 and 5. The Marriage Supper in Rev. 19 is the battle of Armageddon in Rev. 16.

The Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments

Revelation chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16 (I think 15 and 16 should be one chapter) are the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments, with chapter 7 showing the Raptured Church in Heaven at the Midway point and also showing the Jews (144,000) Fleeing Judea and being protected by God in Petra before God starts burning the tress, hurting the earth, and hurting the seas, or in essence, bringing forth the Supernatural Plagues against mankind spoken about via the Seal, Trumpets and Vials of Gods Wrath. Gods Wrath starts via allowing the Anti-Christ to go forth conquering, thus he kills 1.5 to 2 billion people, of course the Church has been Raptured, and there are only s many Jews, so who is he killing ? The Harlot of Course or all those who worship Gods already in place who will not worship him, think Islam, think Muslims !! He will wipe out the Harlot (All False Religions) at this point, see Rev. 17:16, the 10 Kings hate the Harlot and kill her off. He will kill the 2/3 Jews who do not repent and chase the 1/3 of the Jews who do repent into the Wilderness or Petra, that is what happens via the 144,000 in Rev. ch. 7. He will kill the REMNANT CHURCH who gave their lives unto Christ after the Rapture. But most will be Muslims, they will have to be, who refuse to worship the Beast and/or take the Mark of the Beast, the Harlot is judged, Islam and all False Religions will be wiped out (Rev. 17) this man desires to be worshiped as the only god. Rev. ch. 18 is Babylon (Whole World) being hit with all of these Judgments.

So the a fourth (1/4) of all mankind that are killed happens in Rev. ch. 6, that is the Anti-Christ going forth to Conquer and Conquering. He thus takes Peace from the earth (Seal #2 or Red horse), which is how he came to power, via a FAKE PEACE, of course. He conquers Israel and THE MANY (Mediterranean Sea Region Nations), then he eventually Conquers the whole world in some shape, form or fashion. So these events described above are describing Rev. ch. 13, when the Beast Arises out of the [Mediterranean] Sea (Midway point). They also describe Rev. 12, when Israel Flees Judea at the Midway point (1260/1290) and are protected for 1260 days. Rev. 12 and 13 are set-a-side chapters, not real time events. Think Parenthetical Citations.

Turning to the Trumpet judgments in Rev. ch.8 (Israel are already protected) we see the burning trees, the earth being hurt and the seas being hurt. Which lead me to think the First Four Seals all happen almost at once, back, to back, to back so to speak and the effect of each Seal takes time, the deaths come over time, the Religions are wiped out over time, not a long drawn out time period, but it will take some time. Then we see the Evidence of the Beasts Murderous ways via the 5th Seal, and the 6th Seal brings fort the Supernatural Judgments, thus these people who have been in the Wrath of God from the First Seal on, only now understand they are in the Wrath of the Lamb/God.

The Three Woes start in Rev. 9:1 with the First Woe, Apollyon, the Scarlet Colored Beast of Rev. ch. 17 is released from the bottomless pit along with all of the Demons who have been locked in chains heretofore (Jude 1:6). This Demonic Horde comes against mankind for 5 months, but can only harm and maim mankind for this time period. Then the Second Woe is, IMHO, an Angelic Army who kills a third (1/3) of all mankind (1.5 Billion people), but they are Angelic beings killing wicked men, thus they deliver PLAGUES !!

Rev. 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Then we skip to Rev. ch. 16, which I think was originally meant to follow Rev. ch. 9, and I think basically Rev. 15 and 16 was/is one chapter. This is the Third Woe, all Seven Vials are the Third Woe. Thus the Battle of Armageddon (Marriage Super in Rev. 19) happens here, the Nations that Gather at Armageddon are seen by God as Babylon (Satan’d Dark Kingdom/Whole World).

Rev. 16:19 And the great city (Jerusalem/Earthquake) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell (SEEN AS BABYLON): and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

So God sees these Nations that gather against him in Rev. 16:12-14, the Kings of the East (Iran/Iraq) the European Union (BEAST/10 Kings) and the Nations of the WHOLE WORLD………14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Babylon = The Whole World that comes to battle against God !!

Rev. 20, 21 and 22 end the Book of Revelation as per the Chronological order. We have the Judgment Seat where the Martyrs of the 70th Week Tribulation period are judged, those seen in Seal #5, who then live and reign with Christ 1000 years. We then have the ever after/ETERNITY, via the New Jerusalem.

After Rev. ch. 16, which IMHO, should be Rev. ch. 10, the Chronological order should skip to Rev. chapter 20, chapters 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 are not a part of the Chronological order of the book of Revelation. Each chapter then tells a SPECIFIC EVENT/ACCOUNT about something that happened during the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments, in a much fuller detail so to speak. Oddly, if Rev. 16 was Rev. 10, then the current Rev. ch. 10 (WHICH WOULD BE 11 LOL) might make more sense as per the TIME SHOULD BE NO MORE !! (Just a theory at this point, but its interesting).

Rev. 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The Seventh Angel SOUNDS which brings forth the 3rd Woe, which is all Seven Vials combined. So it seems to suggest, kinda, that Chapter 10 could be an END OF ALL TIME AS WE KNOW IT type of chapter, thus the Age changes, Satan is no longer in charge, Babylon has Fallen. So Chapter 10 could fit in the Chronological order, if chapter 15 and 16 preceded it, as I think it should.

As per the other chapters, they are set-a-sides or Parenthetical Citations so to speak. 

Rev. chapter 11 is the detailed account of the Two-witnesses. They die at the Second Woe, before the Beast dies, thus their 1260 days must start before the Beasts 1260 days start. Thus they show up BEFORE the Day of the (1260) Lord at the 1335, which is 1335 days from the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Two-witnesses are told in so many words who to witness/preach unto, they are told to Measure the Temple and the Alter but not to Measure the outside court, this means Preach/Witness unto the Jews but not unto the Gentiles per se. Of course Gentiles might hear them, but their job is t turn Israel back unto God (Malachi 4:5-6). Apillyon the Scarlet Colored Beast from the pot kills them at the 2nd Woe, and the are raised up after 3 1/2 days. But…………. Remember Rev. 10 ? The Seventh Angel Sounded !! The Two-witnesses are dead, but their PRAYERS that brought forth the Plagues etc. etc. etc. are not finished, the Seventh Trumpet Sounds bringing forth the 3rd Woe !! It comes from the Two-witnesses prayers also, so the story is finished out in Rev. 11, even though the Two-witnesses have died, their PRAYERS are answered and a brief account of what happens is told unto us, this actually happens in Rev. ch. 16 however, not here, because the Seven Vials are the 3rd Woe.

Rev. 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God

Rev. 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

The LAST VERSE sounds a lot like Rev. chapter 10 right ? I think chapter Rev. 16 should come before Rev. 10, I know I am repeating that, but it fits here. We see here that the 7th Trumpet brings all of this to pass without giving the DETAILS as per the Seven Vials, the Seventh Trumpet Sounds and we are hearing about the END PRODUCT of what happened !! We are just supposed to know its the 3rd Woe, because it says in verse 14, the Third Woe COMETH QUICKLY. So every thing after that is what the 3rd Woe has wrought. We are told about the actual Seven Vials in Rev. ch. 16.

Rev. 12 is Israel Fleeing Judea and that happens at the First Seal, or 30 days before the First Seal at the 1290.

Rev. 13 is the Anti-Christ Conquering to become the Beast, it happens at the First Seal also.

Rev. 14 happens over a Seven Year Period, its the Rapture of the Church in verse 14, and later on the Harvest of the Wicked.

Rev. 17 is the Harlot (All False Religion) being Destroyed by the Beast and his 10 Kings who understand that if the Beast is to be Worshiped as the ONLY GOD then all Religions have to be wiped off the face of the earth, thus the Harlot is JUDGED !! This happens starting at the First Seal, and goes as long as it takes, I don’t think it takes him long, he has this planed out ahead of time.

Rev. 18 also starts out at the First Seal, it is Babylon (Whole World) being pelted with the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Plagues via Gods Wrath. This is why it references things that happen in many chapters, it covers many chapters. For instance, the “Come out of her my people” is referencing God calling Israel to FLEE Judea so they do not partake in her (Babylon…THE WORLDS) sins, and so they don’t partake in her PLAGUES….Like I said, its about the Seal, Trumpet and Vial PLAGUES !! Thus the verse matches with the 144,000 (ALL Israel, not 144,000) who God protects in Rev. ch. 7, and with Rev. ch. 12 where the Woman (Israel) Flees unto the Wilderness for 1260 days.

Rev. 18 then mentions that Babylon has become the Habitation of Devils, and of course that is true, Satan has been kicked out of Heaven at about the Midway point, and Apollyon and his horde of Demons have bee released from the Bottomless Pit. And Babylon’s COMMERCE is destroyed of Coursem by the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments. Of course that is what happens when the trees and grasses burn up, the Seas turn to blood, the drinking waters are poisoned, the Sea Creatures die (Shrimp/fish/etc). And 1/4 of mankind is killed by they Beast (1.5 to 2 billion people) followed by another 1/3 of mankind (1.5 Billion people) getting killed via the 2nd Woe. That will put a dent in the COMMERCE !! So yes, her COMMERCE is hurt severely !!

Rev. 19 is the Rapture (Rev. 4:1) and the Marriage of the Lamb to the Church/Bride, and we see the Bride in White Robes in Rev. 4:4, we also see the Bride in Rev. 5:9 and Rev. 7:9-17. Finally we see the Marriage Super happens at Armageddon (Rev. 16:19) and then the Beast is cast into hell in Rev. 19:20, which is a Real Time Event, but all the rest of Rev. 19 happened from Rev. chapter 4 to Rev. ch. 16, when the Angel announced IT IS DONE !!

As you see, Rev. 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 are Parenthetical Citations.

The Day of the Lord: the actual meaning of the word YOWM

The meaning of the word YOWM (Day in most instances) is not always day as many assume. Even when day is used, it sometimes doesn’t really mean a day, but the English translators seems to have thought it did. The word YOWM can mean many types of periods of time, not just day, it can mean year, month, a period of time etc. etc. We have to figure out the context and insert the actual proper time period as called for. The Hebrew only had like 4000 words (8000 later on), whilst the English has 500,000 words today.

Let’s do a Word Study of YOWM and try to contemplate why the word Day is used in Day of the Lord and in the 7 Days of Creation.

Some examples where this word us used in a different way BELOW: Notice it’s always used as a PERIOD OF TIME of some sort.

2 Kings 17:37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore(YOWM); and ye shall not fear other gods.

Genesis 4:3 And in process of time(YOWM) it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting(YOWM).

Ezekiel 4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year(YOWM).

Exodus 13:10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year(YOWM).

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth(YOWM), seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season(YOWM) in ward.

Joshua 24:7 And when they cried unto the Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season(YOWM).

1 Kings 9:3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually(YOWM).

Genesis 29:14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space(YOWM) of a month.

Deuteronomy 28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiledevermore(YOWM), and no man shall save thee.

Deuteronomy 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always(YOWM), that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually(YOWM).

Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full(YOWM) years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

I could go on and on, but I think this shows enough variation and enough instances which shows us that the Hebrew word YOWM is used for a PERIOD OF TIME of many sorts. Of course it is going to be used for a day more than any other word because God is going to use “SPECIFIC MENTIONS OF DAYS” more than any other period of time. Whenever a Prophet says that there will be so and so many days of this or that, he would of course use the word YOWM. But when it was meant as EVERMORE he also used the word YOWM, and when it meant a YEAR the Prophets would have also used the word YOWM, etc. etc.

So God, via His Prophets, uses the word YOWM and it’s up to us to eventually figure out what “PERIOD OF TIME” He (God) meant by that !! The Hebrew language had 4000 words and no vowels at the time, it was a primitive language of course. We shouldn’t allow the professors of that time (Pharisees, Scribes) or the English translators to sway us into saying this has to mean ONE DAY, it was a period of time and it’s up to us to figure it out in the end. All men knew back then, comparatively speaking, was that we had days/years/months. So they had to see it as something, what was it going to be ? A Day, a Year, a Month, Evermore, Perpetually, Full, Forever and Always, X Required, Space of time etc. etc. They sure didn’t have a clue about how big the universe is like we do, they had no concept of billions of years like we do either.

The “Day of the Lord” just like the “Creation Days” in Genesis 1 is a complete misunderstanding of the passages. We are supposed to insert the PROPER TIME PERIOD in each instance where YOWM is used. Yowm only means an in general period of time, it’s like a X, Y or Z proposition, we must use factoids to understand what the actual PERIOD OF TIME actually is !! So where God’s Prophets speak of the “YOWM of the Lord” it means the “Time Period of God’s Wrath”, and the clues, in every instance, tells us that is a 3.5 year period of time. Just like the clues tell us the Universe was created in a 13.7 Billion year time period. We had periods of creation, then God rested from his Creation.

So God created the Universe in a period of 7 YOWM’S, which as shown above means periods of times in various ways. We have to figure these things out, we can’t allow the dog to lead us here, we have to lead the dog. We can’t allow the word DAY (YOWM) to force us to look at things in ways in which it drives people away from the Gospel. We want to understand the facts, therefore we can reach people via truths. I have seen many young people tell me, hey, anyone that thinks the universe is 6000 years old, I don’t want to hear about your God man, you live in la la land. But when I speak in terms of knowledge/facts, they listen and say to me, “Mmmm so you believe in Evolution”, and I then say why do you think that ? God created the Universe over a 13.7 billion year period, as he so desired ? (I get an OPENING) It makes them think, OK…..It opens a door to gain them via what I see as the actual facts, God did indeed create the Universe via a 13.7 Billion year time period. But if we say the Universe is 6000 years old we have no hope to reach them my brothers and sisters, none at all. And that is my/our job, that is of course why I researched this long ago, and wrote a blog on the 13.7 Billion years it took God to create the Universe and mankind. I hated Science in school, but it’s my job to reach the masses with truths, so I dug in.

Morning and Evening mean beginning and Ending of a day, or of a period of time.

As per the Day of the Lord, that is the Day God’s Wrath starts on, but the Day of the LORD lasts 3.5 years does it not ?

I hope the above helped explain my positions somewhat and opens people up to seeing another point of view here. YOWM is always inserted for a PERIOD OF TIME, it’s up to us to understand what that period of time means in each instance. We have allowed this Hebrew word Yowm, to become associated with the word Day, even when that isn’t what it means, then many people insist, how day you change the meaning of God !! When that is exactly what the translators have done themselves. Now in many instances, when the Hebrew scribes and learned men of their day didn’t understand, they also inserted the word Day, knowing that each event must at least start on a day, just like the Day of the Lord has to start on a day, they couldn’t say the exact time at that point in time. We now know via Revelation that its a 3.5 year period of God’s Wrath. We see it diagrammed in the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments !!

So when you see DAY OF THE LORD, just remember, we inserted the word Day, God wrote YOWM and it is up to us to understand what “Period of Time” is meant in each case by God and His Prophets. We have to study it in depth. And when we do, we see that all of the things which must happen on “THE DAY” of the Lord can’t possible happen in ONE DAY, it’s just not possible, all of the incidents that take place look exactly like the Seal, Trumpet and Vial Judgments all combined into ONE EVENT !! Thus it is all considered “The Day of the Lord”.

So when one sees a reference to the Day of the Lord, just remember, the Hebrew in Zephaniah and Joel would say “the YOWM (insert time period) of the Lord is upon you” or the 3.5 years (YOWM) of God’s Wrath is upon you.
